Not a fan of Scotland being in the fifa elimination cuck chair forced for days to watch other nations have their moment until we can eventually fuck off

*clears throat for a nuclear take* A Yank taking a weird swipe at the Welsh Language is simply an extension of their wider sense of "it's okay to be xenophobic if the targets of your xenophobia reside, at least largely, on the island of Great Britain"

Shouldn't see your permanent secretary in shorts

My neighbor told me injuries keep destroying his players so I asked how many players he has and he said he just goes to the transfer market and gets 3 new 60m players each summer so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding playing careers to injuries

Yeah i mean it is much woker to use the French colonial name for a country rather than the English exonym

Don't care about sports but I can't help but feel some pride at my countrymen's knack for completely out of order, unnecessarily vitriolic football chants

Most yer da opinion going but 100m pound players should really make you feel like god might be real

[average evening as a Scotland fan] well, Scotland just needed Argentina to avoid defeat to Stirling Albion, however the Binos produced a wonderful display

Say hello to Istanbul's latest statue

OH NO

Can't believe the VARed that foul considering the threshold the entire tournament

Look, Americans, British homes aren't designed with air conditioning in mind. Our architecture values other things: heat retention, space management, trapdoors, automated breakfast-serving mechanisms which can be operated by a literal dog

Thing with Scotland is we've got such an uneven squad. Talent mostly expresses itself in the midfield but it's versatile CMs with no specialist destroyers or playmakers

one thing they didn’t mention is that we went out on goal difference to the USSR that year because Brazil beat us by 3 goals

good morning

Feeling violently sick seeing our group vs any of A, B or D

Let's fucking go baby!

"these people who live 5000 miles away don't care about us, except for their kids' education / future, where they go on holiday, and loving our cultural output" oh so you mean they love our key national exports and comparative advantages, overpaying for all of them? sounds like a great deal to me

Technically, they’re Remains now.

fake pissers would be put off by how close together these urinals are. real pissers wouldn't miss a beat

Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT.

When you combine stuff like this with the ongoing heat jamboree, anyone talking about abandoning net zero should be laughed out of town as not just unserious but deeply, deeply stupid.

no it isn't

Revealing that in all the Discourse about why Keir Starmer is so widely hated, "Israel does have that right" is not even mentioned, six seconds of audio which probably lost the Labour Party half a million votes.

Keir Starmer operating the weather machine

Konsa challenge is an obvious pen ref has been atrocious all round

"The English traditionally struggle here in Massachusetts" LOL

I'm a lucky man married with my bisexual nympho perverted slutty slave wife of 72 . Together we have all kind of transsexual girlfriends, with special fetishes here in Nederland, België & Deutschland. Who are always welcome having a place to sleep & stay during the weekends, so enjoy yourself Hannah

"Everybody who loves football will be pleased he's scored this" Lee Dixon and I live on different planets

The UK pundit omerta on Ronaldo being washed is mental

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

okay so Sturgeon genuinely didn’t have any reason to be suspicious of the purchases

It seems that several commentators have set themselves a challenge: to write a thread or article expressing disbelief as to why Starmer was so loathed without mentioning his stances on AI, Black Lives Matter, Gaza, trans rights, and then dismiss that loathing as the hysteria of out-of-touch elites.

Nothing in the definition of blunder to suggest this it's to make a mistake through stupidity, ignorance, or carelessness. Which Starmer has plenty. Obviously in common usage it's just a synonym for mistake but if your quibbling word choice on why it suggests little substantive to defend with

No single rake knocked Sideshow Bob out, therefore Sideshow Bob did not step on any rakes.

the british 'state' does not exist, cannot fund anything, cannot fix anything and certainly cannot create anything for the future and the prime minister's main job is to be a sin eater to absorb the public's hate while the ruling class rip more copper from the walls and ban complaining about it

"He's 38 by the way, he looks as good as ever" says the commentator, desperately courting the Bluesky demographic

david cameron didn't spend his resignation speech talking about michael howard

i suspect because if you were trans or a migrant the government spent every day calling you untermenschen

Get Cape, Verde Cape, Fly

watching PMs have to approach that podium in front of No10 and cry as they resign is the only emotional catharsis any of us can get from politics these days

It's good that Starmer tried exclusively to court the insane people who will never vote for him who think he's some leftist monster rather than the left wing people with material concerns that could easily have been addressed

Starmer has always been a small and petty man. Like functionally makes no difference to anything but why congratulate the England team on a world cup win but not the Scotland one.

typical of the man to definitively break this campaign promise in pride month

Wow that is not the announcement I was expecting but good on him
