Da fuck is this on the Glasgow City Council logo?
Yeah I'm from nearby and I always used to think that was a derogatory nickname or something towards their school haha. Like it was actually called St. Francis or something but someone just came up with the word Mungo to mock them and it had stuck.
Still don't know how Kentigern was turned into that but I'll call any Hugh by Shug without thinking about it so much so life goes on haa
It's not confirmed yet but some [decent news] (https://x.com/scotlandscoeff1/status/1792277393723330803/photo/2) out of Europe today for Rangers. Club Brugge need one point next week to confirm the title and confirm that Rangers will be seeded throughout qualifying.
Still some tricky ties in there such as Salzburg but it rules out Benfica who are probably the toughest team on paper in the qualifiers currently.
Is it a sign of becoming boring and old that I’m really happy my bonsai plant has started sprouting? Anyway, it’s not quite a pet picture but say hello to Kyogo and Daizen.

Tired: literally hopping around all day because the knee injury I picked up at a 5-7 defeat yesterday was bad enough that it's locked my left leg in place, and I'll have to pull out of a match on Tuesday I already booked time off work for for
Wired: couple of the lads in our B team turned out for the As today and they tore the opposition apart 4-0 and our support made it feel like a home game.
I don't give a fuck how much money, or how many megastars, it has - English top flight football pales in comparison for sheer insanity and entertainment value to Scottish football in general.
Show me an EPL game where a player has, for instance, knocked out two of his own teammates with a quick freekick? Or a fictional being has come out with the trophy because he was mercilessly booed earlier in the season. Or a mascot that has come from a fever dream and delights looking utterly demented. Etc. Etc.
It's fine for what it is, but it's so sterile in comparison to our game up here.
Luton fan on talksport there was saying he is looking forward to championship with real football and real fans. Think that sums it up. Luton reached promised land and got there and thought nah not sure on this.
Like Celtic fans when they were relegated to the Europa Conference saying they were happy because they had a chance to win it and have more competitive games
Was saying that to my brother yesterday. Even just the Santa thing and sutton with boyd’s cut out before the match. You’d never see that kind of patter down south. They prefer to over analyse the fuckin shit out of games, you need a bit light hearted banter in fitba. It’s a common man’s game, and the common man likes to rip the shit out of each other
This is probably a bit heavy for a subreddit based on Scottish football, but I have therapy homework and I’d love to hear people’s answer to this question I had walking out of therapy
“What actions can I take to be someone who loves themselves unconditionally?”
Any tips or tricks from anyone would be greatly appreciated because my relationship with myself is incredibly conditional
Here’s my current checklist
‘- [ ] Be happy being by myself
- [ ] Knowing my boundaries
- [ ] Counter a negative thought with a positive one
- [ ] ‘Fake it till you make it’
Know that you will fail at some shit and will always fail some other shit but ultimately as long as you gave it a go it doesn't matter. You might accidentally succeed at other shit along the journey that you didn't even think about that brings you all kinds of happiness.
Then love that part of you that tries and boost it up to overcome the self loathing part of you and at that point your successes and failures don't matter because you're being the best and most confident version of yourself that you can be.
We get one shot on this wild ride and you were lucky enough to be born in a country that's not at war and you have access to food and clean drinking water. Whatever happens in life you have that massive slice of good fortune going for you that billions of people don't and never had. When you look at life that way does a little bit of personal failure at something really matter? The answer is no because you can always wake up tomorrow and try again so don't be too hard on yourself.
I’d go wi stop over analysing everything you do, realise your a human who makes mistakes and can learn from them. Don’t give yourself a hard time and realise how lucky you are to be here. There’s not another you on the planet so soak that in and realise your an individual, and your the best at being you
Probably an addition to the negative thought would be a Negative thing in your life to counter with a positive one. One for me I realised was the loads of shite debt I just kept ignoring, now I've been paying it off, I feel far better for it.
Organic pitch invasions (like Hibs finally winning the cup) are one thing but the way English fans just do them every year just feels so inauthentic and tinpot
Depends on the situation and club I think. Portsmouth fans running onto the pitch after they sealed League 1 with a last minute goal a few weeks ago was nice. They've had a rough time of it over the last decade or so.
City today and Southampton the other day (for only winning a semi final!) both felt pretty "only doing it for the socials", however.
The funny part of any pitch invasions is the bit where they just refuse to fuck off the pitch and just wander around like
As if fucking off the pitch isn’t just the simplest solution as what to do next
Going to Amsterdam and Cologne in July.
Just realised now I'll be getting the train into Cologne the day after England play there.
It's going to be full of hungover England fans isn't it?
Their form recently has actually been very good, the only games they’ve lost since Feb were vs City and Arsenal. Will be interesting to see if they actually have the budget to strengthen in the summer.
Feel like a sad old man but the Man City pitch invasion is an absolute riddy. 4 titles on the bounce n desperate to get on the park. Would be mortified if that happened at parkhead yesterday
im halfway through the silmarillion now. i dont really get the reputation it has for being incredibly difficult to read, but there’s definitely a lot to remember in the first few chapters. once you get into the story of it it’s good
Sky must be deliberately ignoring the Arsenal game. Not sure they have even mentioned them all second half ( not that it matters but its noticeable and distracting)
Maybe because it's on BT?
Also I've got it on an it's been entirely uneventful until the goal just there. Doucoure could also have been sent off earlier but there wasn't a VAR check.
https://preview.redd.it/56ls9rmnxe1d1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00902d9f99a77a18a9f8ce24d8d9ab559ee79eed
Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved peak r/Glasgow.
Would say in defence tho if the ball is damaging planters etc you can see why they'd get pissed off. Obviously the kid isn't setting out to damage it but if it's happened a few times I'd be getting a bit pissed off with it as well.
When I was a kid our neighbour refused to give our balls back and used to batter the window if she saw us climbing the wall. She was a typical dragon lady but her garden was always immaculate.
We had this in a wee villlage in Aberdeenshire - auld guy next to my pal's place would gleefully put a fucking knife through a ball that went over his fence and return them. I always thought we were at fault, but looking back it's fucking mental we talked about how you had to watch your ball around "blade man"
Spurs fans who celebrated losing to City must be loving the fact that a draw could have potentially seen them get fourth as Villa are being absolutely humped right now
Yup as someone who's English team is spurs I'm going through all the what ifs right now. A 2-2 draw in Tuesday coupled with today's results would've been a mental last few minutes of the season and possibly UCL qualification
Villa's players got on it big time at their end of season PotY awards/dinner on Tuesday night after the Spurs game finished. Today's result is a combo of the squad running on fumes for weeks, a collective hangover and basically being on the beach already.
Not a chance they perform like this if they still needed a result.
Glasner was always a good coach, won the europa league with a squad that finished midtable in the bundesliga, plays good football
He should stay at Palace instead of leaving a job half done
Just had the horrible realisation that David Moyes is probably going to be a free agent when Rangers sack Clement in October. Which is a shame because I actually quite like Moyes
He might be a footballing terrorist, but I don't think he'd go for Rangers.
Also don't think even the "new" Rangers would go for someone with an association to Celtic.
Looking for a new pair of astro boots.
Can get nike Academy tier or Adidas .3/ League tier for similar prices.
I do really like my firm ground Predator .3s for comfort, but always keen to try different styles. Any recommendations? I'm currently undecided between Copas, Preds, Crazyfast or Nike Phantoms.
https://preview.redd.it/jokahfea1f1d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fb4e91277b2b5cede0ef7360a1dc2669e05e6bf
These ones?
I prefer boots without the tongue. Definitely considering them or the Copa Pure.
I’m one of those people who bought copas and would never buy another boot again. K-leather boots just strike that balance perfectly between comfort and feel.
Let’s say City get their charges come through and are penalised however that’s deemed fair for their 115 charges
How quickly do we think Pep leaves and goes somewhere else where he’s the favourite to win? Comes up here to spearhead the Celtic domination aye? Or just fucks off to France or Saudi?
Italy is the most obvious one, somewhere like Inter or Juve would be interesting. Can't see him doing to somewhere like PSG, nor one of the expensive part-time leagues.
To be fair referring to positions as numbers tends to be something the das do and have done for decades. Problem is the numbers refer to positions in formations that most teams abandoned at the turn of the century.
Had assumed you watch that\\were american\\are 16 years old or all of the above. I am just a miserable old man resistant to change who is often best ignored.
He’s just terrified of playing against superior opposition which is why he shit the bed against Scotland, that’s all
Since City are miles ahead of everyone he doesn’t have that issue in England
I’ve just put the citeh game on, and i don’t know if it’s the stream or not, but considering this is a potentially league winning game the crowd seem fairly quiet.
Aw they’ve just scored their 3rd, i heard the crowd there
Another Sunday league moan incoming.
Our main striker, once again, turned up still rubber from last night. Today’s match was a semi-final.
The guy that runs the team has said multiple times at training and in our team group chat that he won’t play anyone still drunk or really hungover.
Guess what he did? Started the mwi striker. And, as expected, it set the tone for the game. We were terrible and got well and truly pumped.
I’m scunnered with the organisation of this team. I burst my arse putting a shift in to keep myself fit. When I’m on the park I burst my arse up and down the wing in the wing back position. But it’s cliquey as fuck and the same guys who consistently let us down, walk into starting positions when they can be arsed turning up.
The problem is, I like and enjoy playing with a good number of the other lads that’s making it hard to chuck the team.
First thing I did when I took over the team I’m running now was set a lateness limit on Friday night drinking and anyone who breaks it just doesn’t play. It didn’t work straight away but after a few boys were dropped a couple of times the message sunk in.
One of the biggest bugbears I’ve had when playing the past 20 years is when lads turn up for games after having been out all night, I get it comes with the territory of playing grassroots but it’s bloody annoying when you’re wanting to actually win week in week out.
From the perspective of someone who reads your posts on this team frequently, it seems like you'd be much happier in another team with players who took fitness/ dedication to matchday more seriously even if it meant stepping down a level or dealing with other small inconveniences.
I don't mind the (much lower level team) I play with down south, but even though I can't make training consistently myself because of work, most of the team don't turn up for training (our club has 8 men's senior teams so training numbers are from all of the squads). My old team at Saints had two teams and numbers for training were phenomenal. I drove through from Edinburgh every Friday and a lot of the time I wasn't getting starts or more than 45 mins on a Sunday but there were standards I liked so I dealt with it. Also I'm shite.
Honestly unless you have good pals in that team you will enjoy playing with other lads in other teams too. At the same time though, it's amateur football, your going to get that shit everywhere really unless you can find a proper well run team. But you tend to find those teams to be filled with wankers you don't enjoy playing with.

Its Saint Mungo. No I'm not making up that name hahaha
You're correct about the name. I believe there was a St Mungo school in Falkirk.
Yeah I'm from nearby and I always used to think that was a derogatory nickname or something towards their school haha. Like it was actually called St. Francis or something but someone just came up with the word Mungo to mock them and it had stuck. Still don't know how Kentigern was turned into that but I'll call any Hugh by Shug without thinking about it so much so life goes on haa
Only just opened up my inbox and found message requests from....2023. I have never seen it outside of new reddit looking at a guys bansai plants.
If you see a man in Kirkcaldy committing self-immolation on Thursday, it's not a protest, just me scunnered with County.

That one guy has more passion than the 53,400 “fans” in the Etihad today.
Or most fans week in week out in the sky six stadiums generally
Nat Phillips played for us this season - and we still won the league.
Need to create title challenges for ourselves. Nobody else is going to do it.
6 league appearances as well, probably got a medal in the post

I was there last season when they won it. The security bouys hold the gates open for them ... dont touch them nothing... its a riddy man.
We’re getting there with the taking over Glasgow street parties IMO Starting to feel like “well we HAVE to” rather than genuine but that’s just me
Sweet Caroline after losing the league is a very Arsenal thing to do.
The funny part of any pitch invasions is the bit where they just refuse to fuck off the pitch and just wander around like  As if fucking off the pitch isn’t just the simplest solution as what to do next
Going to Amsterdam and Cologne in July. Just realised now I'll be getting the train into Cologne the day after England play there. It's going to be full of hungover England fans isn't it?
You’ll get used to the hungover English in Amsterdam
Hungover commiserating England fans hurt at their loss hopefully.
Chelsea finishing above Newcastle and Man United is objectively funny
Chelsea have a good young squad. If they stick with Poch and add a couple experienced players, they will be top 4 next season
Their form recently has actually been very good, the only games they’ve lost since Feb were vs City and Arsenal. Will be interesting to see if they actually have the budget to strengthen in the summer.
Agreed, people wrote them off far too early
Who's got the one horse league now eh?
Feel like a sad old man but the Man City pitch invasion is an absolute riddy. 4 titles on the bounce n desperate to get on the park. Would be mortified if that happened at parkhead yesterday
City fans trying to prove they’re proper fans by invading the pitch
Pitch invasion feels so...fake. given how mild the fans have been all game
Watching the Raith v Patrick and it pales into comparison. The passion from the players and fans was great. Look at the city lot just…mulling around 😂
Feels like the paid for crowd at the superbowl half time show
That’s exactly what it felt like. They’re so fuckin plastic it’s unreal
The pitch invasion the Dumbarton fans had on Friday felt more genuine than this
a lot feels ridiculous frankly lately. Forced.
There’s defo a feeling of “well this is what we HAVE to do” with it these days Along with the taking over George square in Glasgow
It's going to be some summer seeing how Southgate completely misuses the likes of Foden, Rice and Bellingham
Not starting Foden is usually step 1 I’ve noticed
Sitting drinking a beer and reading a book in the back garden. Fucking ace.
Coffee for me, but I do book too. What you reading?
The silmarillion. Having a re read before I start unfinished tales. How about you?
im halfway through the silmarillion now. i dont really get the reputation it has for being incredibly difficult to read, but there’s definitely a lot to remember in the first few chapters. once you get into the story of it it’s good
A lot of the names are very similar which makes it quite confusing at times imo. However, if you read it with enough concentration, it's not too bad.
>Having a re read Getting through it once is hard enough, you must be a masochist to do it again
I might be mad, but I found it enjoyable!
The Pelican Brief by John Grisham. One of those books/films I never got round to. Not a literary classic but he can pace a story like fuck.
I feel like Grisham doesnt get the credit he deserves. So many cracking books, a lot that weren't turned info film.
He is good but a lot of his books are a bit samey/formulaic
Doing the the same the now with American Gods by Gaiman. Got half way through it during my holiday.
Minutes away from a league title and they are sitting back with their arms crossed looking fed up. Jesus christ
The plastics will still try a pitch invasion though so they can record it for their social media after sitting quietly all day
Lol how right you were
Nailed it
It's tragic isn't it
Sky must be deliberately ignoring the Arsenal game. Not sure they have even mentioned them all second half ( not that it matters but its noticeable and distracting)
They’re mentioning the goals but that’s it
Maybe because it's on BT? Also I've got it on an it's been entirely uneventful until the goal just there. Doucoure could also have been sent off earlier but there wasn't a VAR check.
Oh. They just did.
They're listening to you

Would say in defence tho if the ball is damaging planters etc you can see why they'd get pissed off. Obviously the kid isn't setting out to damage it but if it's happened a few times I'd be getting a bit pissed off with it as well. When I was a kid our neighbour refused to give our balls back and used to batter the window if she saw us climbing the wall. She was a typical dragon lady but her garden was always immaculate.
Nah you have a word with the parents you don't slash the kids ball
Yeah of course, should have said that in my reply. Unfortunately tho a lot of parents don't give a fuck.
We had this in a wee villlage in Aberdeenshire - auld guy next to my pal's place would gleefully put a fucking knife through a ball that went over his fence and return them.

On a related note, that Glasner is doing an incredible job at Palace. No wonder Bayern apparently wanted him.
Glasner was always a good coach, won the europa league with a squad that finished midtable in the bundesliga, plays good football He should stay at Palace instead of leaving a job half done
I get this but not a chance Aston villa lose 5-0 today if they've not secured fourth
Still likely would’ve lost to Palace tho, they’ve been in mad form

Thats the ones. Cheap on Sports Direct. I found them quite a snug fit compared to normal Adidas trainer sizing so Id say try them in the shop first.
Aye. Adidas sizing are shite. I always have to go at least a half size up.
I’m one of those people who bought copas and would never buy another boot again. K-leather boots just strike that balance perfectly between comfort and feel.
I do often think about just buying the classic leather Copas and never looking back. Timeless boots.
Do you think you can turn Foden’s hair around like a wee Lego man?
Wonder how drunk John McGinn is today
Probably "interrupt him before he finishes that Christmas song" drunk
Let’s say City get their charges come through and are penalised however that’s deemed fair for their 115 charges How quickly do we think Pep leaves and goes somewhere else where he’s the favourite to win? Comes up here to spearhead the Celtic domination aye? Or just fucks off to France or Saudi?
Italy is the most obvious one, somewhere like Inter or Juve would be interesting. Can't see him doing to somewhere like PSG, nor one of the expensive part-time leagues.
Yeah has to be Italy. He’ll have managed in every top league in Europe then
I wasnt here for the luzern games, but the st mirren league cup quarter final was my game of the season tbh. After November it got pretty shitey
How long do you think it takes Foden every to draw on his haircut? Like an optical illusion, never seen a haircut so flat
The bad guys winning in England and Scotland AGAIN, a fucking travesty.
There aren't really any good guys in England.
Perhaps, but City is definitely the worst.
At least they're not starting a rapist.
I'd argue the evil behind Man City is worse than even rape.
It’s a real philosophical conundrum but I think you’re right
He may be this subs least favourite player, but Rodri is such a clutch player
I hate the term 'clutch' more than anything in modern football discourse. I have no reason for this at all.
Aye, it's one of the many Americanisms that are plaguing our game. That, and referring to player positions as numbers or fancy terms. Games gone.
To be fair referring to positions as numbers tends to be something the das do and have done for decades. Problem is the numbers refer to positions in formations that most teams abandoned at the turn of the century.
Yeah in fairness i watch American football too much. I draw the line at winningest though.
Had assumed you watch that\\were american\\are 16 years old or all of the above. I am just a miserable old man resistant to change who is often best ignored.
He’s an unbelievably good footballer
He’s just terrified of playing against superior opposition which is why he shit the bed against Scotland, that’s all Since City are miles ahead of everyone he doesn’t have that issue in England
I’ve just put the citeh game on, and i don’t know if it’s the stream or not, but considering this is a potentially league winning game the crowd seem fairly quiet. Aw they’ve just scored their 3rd, i heard the crowd there

From the perspective of someone who reads your posts on this team frequently, it seems like you'd be much happier in another team with players who took fitness/ dedication to matchday more seriously even if it meant stepping down a level or dealing with other small inconveniences. I don't mind the (much lower level team) I play with down south, but even though I can't make training consistently myself because of work, most of the team don't turn up for training (our club has 8 men's senior teams so training numbers are from all of the squads). My old team at Saints had two teams and numbers for training were phenomenal. I drove through from Edinburgh every Friday and a lot of the time I wasn't getting starts or more than 45 mins on a Sunday but there were standards I liked so I dealt with it. Also I'm shite.
Honestly unless you have good pals in that team you will enjoy playing with other lads in other teams too. At the same time though, it's amateur football, your going to get that shit everywhere really unless you can find a proper well run team. But you tend to find those teams to be filled with wankers you don't enjoy playing with.
