    I got Valheim @Big V but I literally need to chuck it on 720p low graphics because I bought a ‘cheap gaming PC’ with a GT 710 in it.
    The performance for me is dreadful on nearly everything apart from CS, Valorant & Fall Guys really so I’ll need to upgrade to make this playable. You liking the game?

    I have mixed feelings.
    It's a shame the big super-fight is off now, I am annoyed about that, and I am vaguely concerned that Joshua will get beat by Usyk preventing it from happening. However if it does happen it really HAS to be in the UK, it'd be a travesty if it were anywhere else. Britain rules boxing at the moment, and that's the way I like it. :)
    On the other hand I am looking forward to watching Tyson Fury dominate and smash that retarded yank Wilder even harder than he did last time, and hopefully send the fraud into retirement. It is an appropriate name, Wilder, because never have I heard any wilder excuses in all my days.

    I've watched Fury's mauling of Wilder about 12 times. It's comedy gold. Then the big man closed the show by singing to the crowd 😂
    That's better than Ali in my book. Boxing needs these personalities.
    Read somewhere that Wilders wife is one of Dillian Whytes American left overs lol. Doubt he'll ever want to step back in the ring with Fury again sadly.

    Right on the money, this. From an unexpected source.
    Brian Wilson, Celtic director....
    IT may be unfashionable to point out but football can create really joyous occasions. Take last Saturday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley with 21,500 people in the stadium, an intimation that normality is again conceivable.

    There was an emotional quality to the singing of Abide With Me, dedicated to victims of the pandemic. “When other helpers fail and comforts flee; Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me”. Old words with special meaning as people came together after so long, in this way.

    Then there was the game itself, turning on two acts of beauty – the goal from Youri Tielemans which won it and the save from Kasper Schmeichel that thwarted Chelsea. So Leicester, one of our cities hardest hit by the pandemic, had its morale lifted to the heavens.

    The occasion was possible through a balanced approach to risk. Putting 21,500 people into Wembley’s open air must carry a scintilla of risk. But keeping them out and playing this special game behind closed doors would surely have done far more harm than good.

    In Scotland, such thinking is taboo. Even before the latest Glasgow shutdown, there were to be just 600 supporters inside Hampden for the Scottish Cup Final. Now the vast terraces will be empty. To what good effect or elimination of risk, I wonder?

    Last Friday I was in Glasgow Airport, a place of eerie silence these days but suddenly raucous sound announced the arrival of a flight from Belfast which disgorged a platoon of Rangers tops, clearly here for a party. I should make clear the colour of tops is irrelevant to the thrust of my argument.

    If anyone had doubts, this confirmed that the following day’s celebrations were going to be a big event attracting supporters from far and near. Given that entry to Ibrox stadium was precluded, the logic pointed to a big event somewhere else – ie the streets, bridges and squares of Glasgow. Who had decided that this was a good – or at least, less bad – idea?

    It seemed basic common sense – which would have applied equally regardless of which club had something to celebrate – that the thousands congregating in Glasgow should be allowed to do so in their preferred environment, their own stadium. The choice was not between whether or not people would congregate; only where.

    I have still to hear any rational explanation of why it was thought preferable for this to happen in the aforementioned streets, bridges and squares where, as soon transpired, absolutely no rules would apply, than within the confines of a stadium where they all wanted to be and within which some degree of regulation would have been possible.

    Then, while I was waiting for my flight, a friend in the hospitality industry phoned in despair to tell me about the latest disaster – the decision not to move Glasgow down to level 2. At this point, the contrast between what everyone knew was going to happen the following day and the latest extension of Glasgow’s lockdown moved from being merely irrational to grotesque.

    I have never quite understood why it is forbidden to have a glass of wine with a meal within permitted hours. However, the idea this would continue to be banned in Glasgow on public health grounds while the same politicians and experts had put exclusion from a football stadium before all the blatantly obvious risks inherent in the alternative now appeared incomprehensible and irresponsible.

    Yet who does one turn to for an explanation? Who can the beleaguered hospitality industry ask for the right of appeal, based on reason? In what respect is the public health advice in England different to that in Scotland? There are so many questions and after more than a year of this, so few detailed, satisfactory answers.

    The decision makers hide behind the mantra that anyone who challenges their edicts is less interested than themselves in public health or protecting the community. That has never been true and should have been called out long before now. The longer this goes on, the more urgent the need for scrutiny.

    Keeping Glasgow closed is a blunt instrument which fails to recognise vast differences within its boundaries. Concentrating on postcode areas seems more sensible than relying on boundaries which were drawn in the 1990s for entirely different reasons – primarily to keep more prosperous areas out of Glasgow.

    The idea that people are not going to travel from Glasgow for a meal in Bearsden or Kilmacolm does not accord with reality. So the major impact of this blanket ban within the confines of the city is not to limit the spread of the virus but to put another nail in the coffins of good, responsible businesses that are struggling to survive.

    If the politicians believe their own rhetoric, why did they not act last Friday to limit the public health damage from the Rangers party? Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf could have made a recording of his pious strictures to be released around 6pm. and then taken the rest of Saturday off. What did he expect in George Square? Community singing of Abide with Me?

    Ditto the First Minister who should surely have seen the need for containment within her own constituency? The lesson is that while it is easy to ban things it is within your authority to ban, a greater talent is required for seeing a bigger picture – and that is what they made a complete mess of last weekend.

    Fucking lord man. I was just thinking, at least you don't have Boris... and then I remembered that you do.  What's worse than having Boris as your "leader"? Having that half pint of hypocrisy AND Boris... as your leader, at the same time. That's a horrific situation that Scotland does not deserve.

    One issue pertains to the horrific prejudice towards someone based on something they have absolutely no control over whatsoever, a woldwide societal problem that causes misery and inequality for millions of people. A problem that is trying to be solved by governments and organisations all over the world. A problem that causes people to lose their life.
    The other is related to money.

    Big V reacted to cushynumber in Charles Green: I’ll walk away if Rangers fans' songs don’t change   
    He is angling for English football. He is trying to appease the FA and UEFA. None of these organisation would like to be seen supporting a "sectarian" club. But if he can show that he is getting on the front foot with this issue then it will be seen to his and Rangers credit and therefore far more people may view Rangers situation in a favourable light if they ever get to thinking about inviting us down south.
    His interview on Jeff Randall last night was almost all about Rangers moving into England rather than our financial results - on a business show. So think about it. Thats the subtext here. At least to me it is.

    This thread, in fact has run its course. It was for nominations, which are now done, and so there is no need for it to continue to be open for any troll that wants to derail it further.
    On that basis I have asked the moderators to close it

    Big V reacted to RFC Eagle in ***TBB Liaison Committee: Nominate members here.***   
    The problem with this is the attacks on Rangers fans were begun by the poster Vini is referring too. The poster in question is either very successfully trolling or is, as Vini suggests, not a Rangers fan at all. He could, of course, have an ego the size of Ibrox! I don't think anyone has suggested you are a troll or are not a Rangers fan and I think the lateness of the hour that the initial dialogue took place may have led to some entrenching of positions which is regrettable.
    To suggest that the majority of our support are incapable of adopting an acceptable version of TBB is an affront to Rangers fans and I take that as personally as a direct insult. Of course there are a range of opinions but it appears that there is momentum to reintroduce this, reworded for the current climate and this is a response to it.
