Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983/84)

 

Schadenfreude played left back for FC Kaiserslautern

 Nicked from Facebook.

No doubt, come the end of the season, this post will turn around and bite me on the arse but just let me enjoy the moment for now.

Full highlights - with added full time meltdowns - here.

A Room with a View

Today, I will mostly be laughing at this guy. 

According to RangersTV, he has the ". . . best view in the house . . . " 

Aye, to see Rangers get pumped.  

Thank you Ross County. You've made an old man happy on a Sunday morning.

 I laughed  . . . of course, the SPGB was consigned to the footnote of history.

On this day in history . . .

File this under 'the good stuff you find on the internet'.

"On this day in 1933 Jimmy McGrory scored two past Hibbs to give Scotland a 2-1 victory over England in front of a Hampden crowd of 136,259. Jimmy only played 7 times for Scotland scoring six times. His great rival for Centre Forward Hughie Gallacher scored 24 goals in 20 games."

Full details for both teams here.

Grim . . . but beautiful.

Busted!

The good news is that I finally hit my first 180 of 2024 today.

The bad news is that I was on 172 at the time. 

I could lie and say I was going for the S20 to set up D32 . . . But I just wanted that 180.

. . . still lost the leg, mind.

A thought . . .

Now that I have rediscovered how to post embedded 'tweets' - fuck you, Musk - onto the blog, I'm tempted to flood the blog with embedded posts for the next 24 hours.

Shine a light . . .

Oh, this is good . . .  this is very, very good. If I came up with a joke as funny as this, I'd be dining out on it for the next ten years.

I'm going back to 2023

First meme of the year  . . . first prediction of the year . . . and the first fuck up of the year. Nice to set off on the right foot for the New Year. (Yep, already broke my New Year Resolution as well  . . . but that was hours ago.)
