As has been mentioned before, Low Standards is an accommodating team. We don't care what you do in your spare time (as long as it's not bomb-building or some such guff, obviously.) We like to think of ourselves as an enlightened group. However, I personally have a massive problem with a term like "trisexual." I'm not saying I have a problem with the behaviour and/or lifestyle choices associated with it - or anyone who does like it and choose to live their life that way. I'm saying I have a massive problem the word itself. That word needs to die. Permanently.

As we say 'round here, hauld onnn! To refer to England's current football squad as a "Golden Generation" is an insult to the term. The nucleus of France's 98 World Cup and 00 European Championship winning sides? Yes. England's "win a match, we're formidable"/"lose a match, we're worried" current crop? Nah, mate. Anyone asking what a Northern Irishman knows about golden generations in a less than friendly tone can feel free to swivel; you don't need to taste the bullet to know it ain't tasty.

Interesting. Firstly, I can't see it happening. This comes up every so often and leads to nothing but reiterations of the same auld cynicism. Secondly, Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell seems to consider his club less a football team than a piece of art. He also couldn't resist making a jibe at Rangers' expense, the implication being that Celtic have greater appeal and "brand recognition" than the 'Gers on a global scale. Perhaps, Mr. Lawwell should note which Old Firm side are:

a.) Champions of Scotland.
b.) In the Champions League.
