No, me shut up. Stranraer fielded an ineligible player, on loan from Hearts. This story has many layers.
And they pay the price for such negative symbolism; out go the Spiders. Stranraer will go to Ibrox. Stranraer, from TWO divisions below Queen's Park. How embarrassing.
No, you shut up.
No, you shut up.
Seb Drozd, the scorer of Queen's Park's winner at Ibrox in last season's Scottish Cup fifth round has been subbed off in the last minute of extra time as they go to penalties at Stranraer to see who plays Rangers at Ibrox in the fifth round of this season's Scottish Cup.

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”.
This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that.

The fact that a man like Farage who praised Putin, made himself Mr Brexit, and campaigned for Trump is considered anything other than a crank is a fairly damning indictment of the political climate in Britain.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

ICE are bog standard child kidnappers.
Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.
