hope MrTarkan gets home in one piece.

Celtic fans are manic, but i have to say we had a great time hanging out with them pre-match for our champions league match against them. I still have my celtic scarf (with obligatory palestine badge) that i swapped my Gladbach one for.

Our fans sang them out of their own stadium tho ;)

TBH what they need is a points deduction to start the season with.

Trouble in parts of Glasgow now. Apparently police went to help with a medical emergency and had all sorts of stuff thrown at them. DH is on two Dundee to Glasgow shifts at work tonight so I hope there won’t be any issues around the bus station when he’s down there. He hates these shifts at the best of times.

So worrying-

Hope it cheers Mr Tarkan (and you) that MN is wishing him home safely!

I’m glad Celtic won, Hearts fans are up in arms about a conspiracy but I am not sure you could argue with the penalty today.

An almost identical one not given to Newcastle when Gabriel did acrobatics in the box. Consistency is all we ask for 🤦🏼‍♀️

JasonTindallsTan · 16/05/2026 21:42

I wonder if anything will come of the fact that the fans on the pitch effectively caused the match to be stopped prematurely.

Xabi Alonso to Chelsea is interesting. Not sure he’s the answer to the disaster that is CFC.

Sorry, finding a Newcastle fan complaining about penalties not given against Arsenal a tiny bit ironic...

Tarkan · 16/05/2026 22:51

Thanks for all the well wishes for DH. He won’t be home until 6/7am so we’ll see if I can sleep before he’s home. Although I have had a good bit of wine watching Eurovision which might help. 🙈

Not really complaining, just commenting, but never let an opportunity pass you by to get a dig in eh 🙄

Indeed, haven't...

DH managed to text me quickly after his first run to say he was back from Glasgow and thankfully wasn’t as bad as we thought it could be. One more run for him so hopefully it’s even quieter for that one.

So pleased to hear that.

DuncinToffee · 17/05/2026 17:05

Embarassing. Last home game, chance of Europe, farewell to Coleman and the teams doesn't show up

The Man Utd decision was interesting was sure it would be disallowed - thankfully it doesn’t really mean anything!

TheVeloursImgonnaChangeNsoul · 17/05/2026 18:18

Glad season is over
9th place spl.
Not good with the wage bill AFC have

Itstheyearitstarts · 18/05/2026 20:04

Come on Arsenal!

Tarkan · 18/05/2026 21:10

Quick update on my health stuff, surgery is on the 4th. So that gives me 10 days before Scotland’s first game in the World Cup. Hopefully since they’re encouraging me to be up and walking around the day after it then I’ll be fine to go to the pub 10 days later. 🙈🤣

DuncinToffee · 18/05/2026 21:16

All the best Tarkan and hope you will be pub ready Smile

Looks that he is.

All the best for your surgery @Tarkan ❤️

Are we all hoping Pep is jumping ship because an announcement on the 115 is coming?
