How bad are Rangers. OMG!!! Only team in Scotland that have a chance to shoot inside their box and 3 passes later its back to our keeper, one on one and still their defender clears it with a tackle.... I can't watch this anymore. I feel like a Hibs supporter or an Everton fan ffs. 😑

Nonchalant

Stressbells ringing to an anxious quartet
Drum roll pressuring the cranium wall
Guitar solo on the cortex chord
Just your average invite to The Heavens Ball.

When the book cover doesn't match its content
Words are all scrambled, to what the hell is ment
Battered and bruised vowels and consonants
Psychiatrist promise a new Mr Nonchalant.

Call me a cynic or call me a friend
No bloody tablet to help my brain mend
Now cymbals are crashing, the pianos on edge
The opera singer is singing higher than Patricia Routledge.

Then all the choir full voiced to a Chorus of The Ill-Mated wives
If I was a cat, please shoot my nine lives.

Weel ah rode richt intae Texas in ma aine Wee Tartan Hoorse, shair, Ah caud huv took the train, bit Muckle Heenrie caudnae o went o across Muckle Henry reelished, o the een on him, the sheriff wisnae best pleased, Eh! Can ye git rid o him!!! Weel Heenrie wisnae huvin it. In fact he bit him oan the erse, as he goat his gun an aimed at him, weel he now jist booked his hearse, he grabbed him by the neck, an shook him silly, in fact he shook him so hard. Richt oot his claithes and bit aff his willie, noo a crowd appeared, things wur gittin kinda crazy, o the local lads wur cheerin an the maids wur dancin Blue Maisie. So ah hurled masel aff Heenrie, said Weel hoos ir gan. Ivverie wan wis cheerin and tae Heenrie a real well done, fur the sherrif wis an as***le, a bent wan at that, he'd book ye fur nuthin, he wis also blin as a bat, sae in the bar we went, A wh***ey fur the laddie, an huv ye a cairit fur Heenrie. Oor new mascot horse fur the toon o Big T. Weel we pairtied tae the sma oors, ah taucht thaim hoo tae jig. The funniest thing o nicht, wis Wild Billy losing his afro wig. He wis wheekin roon the dance flair, daen The Dashin White Sergeant, as he went fur eicht and back fur eicht, he went heid oor tit, ah proper Scotsman he jist aint, sae next day in toon we set aff agane, the streets wur lined we weemen an followed us the men, safe tae sae this weelcome. Became the norm fur us, fur ivverie toon fae Louisiana, Mississippi tae Florida, bit we shair missed Texas.

Uruguay had their private jet CANCELLED by their Football Association after their dismal World Cup campaign! 😳

The South American giants became the highest-ranked team to be eliminated from the competition after finishing third below Spain and surprise package Cape Verde 😬

According to reports in Uruguay, the national team’s private flight home from Mexico was cancelled, with each player and member of the coaching staff forced to arrange their own way back via commercial flights 🀯
