A Magazine Front Cover Snob writes . . .

Looks like a 'Death Metalist' was brought in to design the front cover of next month's Socialist Standard

"Guys, there is not enough black.  . . . We need more black."



A Cut and Paste Merchant cuts and pastes . . .

Quote of the day, via some witty soul over at Leftist Trainspotters.

Various ‎– Letter To Brezhnev (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1985)



Imposs-005

A Part-Time Conspiracy Theorist writes . . .

That assault of Kieran Tierney in the second half  . . . the referee swallowing his whistle every time a Celtic player got fouled . . . but for all that, St Johnstone deserved the point.

In the midst of the melee at Parkhead, naturally, I sought refuge in the time-honoured Facebook status rant, but what do you know? I picked the backdrop below at random but, yes, that could be a masonic handshake.  Just saying . . .

A Paul Morley wannabe writes . . .

"Hello everyone. It's so great to be back playing in Kronstadt tonight after all these years. It was such a blast the last time."



 Hat tip to the person - probably a Lev Bronstein fanboy - who originally created this meme.

That pic reminds me; whatever happened to Julius Martov and the Sexy Mistakes from my MySpace years? They were good. I will need to get back to you on this.

'The Tartan Army - in need of a strong drink since 1954.'

Via Facebook.

"A picture has surfaced from the 1982 Spain World Cup, of a famous banner displayed at the Scotland v Russia game."



Still my favourite World Cup, if truth be known. Eder . . .  Socrates . . . Gerry Armstrong . . . Algeria gubbing West Germany . . . Narey's toe-poke . . . The French midfield . . . Tardelli's celebration for his goal in the final . . . Schumacher's attempted murder of Battison.

Picture via a Scottish SPGBer on Facebook, who happens to be one of the miscreants in the above picture. I believe him. SPGB Glasgow Branch . . . combining alcoholism and (real) communism since 1924.
