Haha hadn't heard that one yet. Brilliant.

And apologies if this triggers the anti-scouser brigade. But delighted for Wee Mo. Huge pressure on him, what a guy.

Just looking through that Cape Verde squad. What an achievement to grind out two draws against Spain and Uruguay. Couple of decent level players but that's about it. Insane. Cape Verde - Detailed squad 2026

All those vape shops selling powder on the sly will be rolling in it.

And I'm sure it'll be another decade. Steps in the right direction across Europe though. You can see a huge shift taking place. That's happening at the ballot box - both elected parties and EU elections. The left will continue to suffer if it doesn't accept this shift and the issue at play. Whilst a minority have always exploited it, it used to be that the asylum system was mostly people who needed it. Now it is completely out of control. The way the world is heading and the amount of mass migration that will be taking place, countries will have no choice but to adopt much stricter border controls.

illegal immigration and people smuggling is a problem the world over to an extent it is working when you see parties like Reform and Restore gaining support. This puts pressure on others to address it. though it's not something that can be fixed overnight.

See I don't disagree with much in your post. As you know, I've always said we need to be honest if things are down to a specific cultural issue. And to be fair you accept that folk are blaming everything on immigration. But blaming these people's mindsets simply on the issue spiralling out of control just comes across as a deflection. Interestingly more and more people are now defending these acts of violence as a means to an end. Scary stuff. The fella round the corner from me shouted "I'm protecting my country" as he attacked innocent blokes with a machete. Protest about the situation in the channel and grooming gangs by all means. Use the ballot box as well. But when someone resorts to extreme violence then it is nothing more than terrorism. The blame lies with the individual and those encouraging violence. Danny Thomo just the other day saying we need strong British men to defend ourselves because protest isn't working. Part of the problem. To blame the Labour party above all else is just fckn bonkers for me. This guy says it better than I will. (Don't agree with everything in his video fwiw). https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ0mmiFOAFP/?hl=en

Class moment that from Emma Hayes and tribute to her father. Whilst the crosses tactics board didn't work, it's a shame she got so much abuse.

I blame the people doing it first and foremost. I also blame people who spread the hatred and make excuses for it happening. You see it across the political spectrum. Who do you blame ?

Racists in Belfast torching foreigners out of their homes last week Racists in Edinburgh attacking Muslims with a machete this week Often walk down the street in Leith where it happened. Often with the wee one as well. Just glad I wasn't there. Grim times. Somebody will be along to blame the politicians shortly for letting it come to this.

Another reason that the 3rd place rule is nonsense.. Clarke can essentially just play for two draws or narrow losses & they still qualify Anti football at it’s finest & Turkey could beat the US 10-0 and they’d still be out. Makes no sense

The Tartan Army are a great organisation. The way they travel & raise money for local causes is class. Some brilliant stories coming out of them hiring all the yellow school buses & taking over a red socks baseball game. No better national anthem out there. Shame their manager is so fckn boring. As the players they have are capable of playing with a lot more ambition.

Never in doubt Smashed Reform, Restore & Tories combined Best chance Labour have to avoid implosion & fight Reform at the next election. Good to hear he wants to bring so many broken services back under public control. Hopefully a smooth transition & leadership election & theyve got a chance . Still think it’ll be Reform next time around - though Restore are throwing a spanner in the works

great second half excellent stuff from the manager at HT and a nice idea to make 3 subs at the hydration break to avoid a big shift in momentum hopefully just precautionary with rice

she looks like she's steaming idea of the century goes to Itv

love it what a game Croatia to score in the next 10 minutes Kane to bag a hat trick to win 4-3

we're massive wherever we go. Come on lads. No pressure for me on this one. Too many incredible teams about to expect us to win it. Hopefully that takes the edge off and allows the lads to enjoy it. Then who knows what'll happen

Ban men from looking after kids 😂🤣 Only Bolty could come up with that shite.

Probably one of the daftest proposals I've ever read on here

And it's old school to be fair. Nothing wrong with old school views, sometimes there's an argument to return to something. Not on this though. Evidence doesn't back up your view. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/more-male-role-models-in-nurseries-to-help-children-thrive You're right, maternal love is incredible and irreplaceable. Not sure how that translates to toddlers can't be looked after by both genders in childcare though.

Nah he's irreplaceable Just like the maternal love of a mother 😀

There’s a young lad joined the nursery that’s part of our school. He’s great. Full of energy & kids love him. Does a lot of Forest school & wildlife stuff with them. One kid in particular has had a tough upbringing, quite violent at times in school. He’s made a lovely bond with this member of staff. Has really settled down. Another guy in my local nursery, he’s always outside running about with the kids. They seem to worship him. He’s been there a while & earns an early years practitioner salary. Not too bad money to aspire to. Sad state of affairs that there are still dinosaurs out there judging people who care about their work & do a great job. Most kids in nursery aren’t babies. Many are walking, talking & running about. Research clearly shows kids do better under male & female role models. These cases are fucking horrific. Cannot even begin to imagine the pain of a parent after putting their trust in a nursery. The solution isn’t to ban men though. Quite the opposite. Could be that they aren’t allowed to do changes or something.

Can understand the importance of getting the smaller nations a chance. They come & do a playoff. But maybe that wouldn’t work either with teams coming for just one game. The third place is nonsense- maybe it’ll excite a little later on in the group when some teams need to go & win. But it’s been lame so far. Usually the groups are the most exciting part of the tournament for me.

Nervy game for Scotland. Haiti were atrocious in the final third. Brazil and Morocco will pick them apart if they don't improve. Need to be braver. Though Clarke will just have them scrapping for a point in the next two games, which could backfire.
