There are few things that can unite the nation these days, with Brexit, independence and whether ketchup gets kept in the fridge just some of the burning issues diving friends and families.
One thing it seems we can all agree on though is that we bloody love Ally McCoist as a co-commentator.
A study by OBLG has revealed the Rangers legend is the nation's favourite co-commentator for Euro 2020, to the surprise of no one.
According to the research the ideal foil for McCoist is ITV's Clive Tyldesley, with Mark Chapman on presenting duties with Ian Wright (ITV), Cesc Fabregas (BBC) and Micah Richards (BBC) back in the studio.
Let's face it though it's Coisty who really gets people tuning in with his enthusiastic and humorous commentary.
The former striker also has a key arsenal of stock phrases and tropes you could tick off on an Ally McCoist bingo card.
With that in mind, here are some of our favourites.
"I ' ve got to/let me tell you" - Deployed to underline a particularly good or intelligent piece of play we might have missed. For example: " It's a great cross but I've got to tell you that's a fantastic run to get on the end of it".
"It really is" - Used for something we definitely didn't miss but that was just so good it has to be emphasised. "It's a world class strike, it really is."
"I've got to say" - Subtly different to "let me tell you", this one gets wheeled out when Ally's appreciating a good bit of play but not necessarily delighted about an aspect of it. E.g: "He strikes it well, but I've got to say the goalie's got to be doing better, for me."
"Absolutely" - Not so much used to answer in the affirmative as to convey the magnitude of a moment. "It's absoLUTELY unbelievable".
Commentator's name - A pretty simple one, Ally brings out the lead commentator's name in a way that makes you think they'd make a great travel show. For example: "I've got to tell you Clive, it's an absolute pleasure to be here, it really is."
"Unbelievable" - Lesser co-commentators may be stunned or amazed by a great goal. McCoist genuinely can't believe what he's seeing. "And just look how he controls the strike. It's absoLUTLEY un-be-lievable, Jon."
Historical fact about where the game's being played - Never a man to shirk his research, you can bet Ally's got some trivia about where the game's taking place. Take this 2018 World Cup example: "I can totally understand why Stalin had his, eh, summer Dacha down here (Sochi). It’s a magnificent place, it really is" or on Kazan: "It’s come a long way since it fell to Ivan The Terrible in 1552".
"Control the strike" - How do you score 355 goals for Rangers? You control the strike.
Scottish football reference - You're sure to get a reference to Scottish football, whether it's the national team or the domestic game. See for example describing Archie Gemmill's goal against the Netherlands as "Goal of the World Cup. Goal of ANY World Cup".
Brilliant - A lot of things are "brilliant" in a McCoist commentary. The man just enjoys his job.
General Scotland reference - If it's not our football there will be a mention for Scotland. E.g: informing Clive Tyldesley that Tom Stoltman had been crowned World's Strongest Man.
Meme he saw on the internet - McCoist is, in his own words, "absolutely running that Instagram" and isn't shy of sharing something he's seen on social media. E.g: "Someone sent me a message the other day, Clive: 70 per cent of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by N'Golo Kante! Brilliant."
