"I spoke to Bruno Alves and said to him, 'So this is Scottish football'." SPFL 2017/2018

Lennon sent off. This day couldn't get any better.

OMFG

As Scottish football continues to be the GOAT year on year, it's important to not forget some absolute classic moments from years gone by...

St Mirren allowing a Celtic club shop to be opened in their stand

Good old Saints.

... talking of which, straight back down again?

... St Mirren, that is, not Sunderland.

The banter years...

Sad news that Neale Cooper died - he was only 54 :(

From Tom English on twitter

Neale Cooper in Fergie Rises: “He (Franz Beckenbauer) said I was possibly the closest he had seen to a player like himself at that age. That was quite a compliment. But I always say that it goes to show, even Franz Beckenbauer can talk some amount of shite.”

Lolz. RIP, absolutely no age at all.

Remember when losing to Peru was both surprising and notable?

Not reading too much into the result what with the altitude etc.

Nonetheless hoping for a better performance vs Mexico.

Yes, should be fine against Mexico, they're only playing at a height of 7,280 feet.

och that’s less than two Ben Nevises

We’re one short for fives tonight, looks like we might be in luck. Give’s a shout, Willo!

Willo Flood last one day as Brexit Secretary,

So, do we have a new thread title? Are we ready?

Good performance by Hibs. Useful 2-0 victory for Rangers, with the aid of a late penalty, though it must be admitted that their opponents are no Progres Niederkorn.

i was actually quite proud of last year's title, might have a little read of the tabloids and see if i can glean anything interesting from brendan or Mr Gerrard

Tony Watt: back in the big-time

He certainly is!

Hibs involved in an eventful game in the Faroe Islands, which Efe Ambrose kickstarted, in his own inimitable style, by scoring an own goal after one minute. Final score, 6-4 to the Hibees

Meanwhile Rangers starting their European campaign in fairly inimitable, if slightly baffling, style too...

Scottish football favourite Anthony Stokes signs for Tractor Sazi in Iran.

Hibs' last three competitive matches: 5-5, 6-1, 6-4.

New balls please.

Second best team in Scotland, folks. Depressing stuff.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44890774

it's depressing but part of why it's depressing is the state of english football.

Aye, you want to read all the Neville Vs Holt stuff on conference and non-league forums - lots of accusations of buying promotion being bandied round.

Rooney has doubled his wages going to Salford.

90' We've seen some strange things at Hampden but St Mirren keeper Craig Samson has just been forced to remove what looks like a dead squirrel dropped onto the pitch by a seagull. Entertainment at its best.

^ some kind of metaphor for Scottish football, once a child would kick a dead squirrel in the street etc.

Meanwhile, Hibs' European adventure continues, having gone in at half time 2-0 at home to some Greek side, they've fought back to lead 3-2. Aberdeen have almost certainly blown it against Burnley though.

I suppose we should start a new thread.

"A dead squirrel dropped by a seagull" SPFL 2018/2019. Something along those lines. Get onimo to do it, he's funny.

Hibs only leaking 2 goals is progress of a sort. I think I prefer the 5-4s

Thinking of a Cantonaesque 'When the seagulls drop the squirrels..'

I'm not funny. Ask my kids. Not even Dad Joke funny these days.

I like "When the seagulls drop the squirrels"

I still like the William Shatner/Adam Rooney baws argument

🤔Would it be ‘naff to tell @17AdamRooney that my bawbells are bigger than his? #sizematters 😝 https://t.co/LSA954nJYo

Though Rooney's fecked off to English non-league so doesn't deserve a thread title :-(
