One day this week Strathclyde Police officers will have visited Lennoxtown and Murray Park and reminded players and officials the consequences their actions can have before during and after Sundays Celtic-Rangers game.
Our streets are dangerous on these weekends, best avoided, always avoided by me. You know it, I know it, people who have worked in the game for the last 40-odd years know it.
At a media conference at Ibrox today, Sandy Jardine said:
“Having gone round and met a lot of the supporters and people within the club, I think people are absolutely sick and tired of everybody having a kick at us when we’re down.
“Out of that, the supporters will take sanctions against clubs which we deem have been unfair to ourselves.
“I’m not going to go into the actual details but we will probably announce that after the meeting with the supporters clubs.
“Everybody is sick and tired of just accepting everything that everybody is throwing at us and it’s about starting to fight back.
“The size of our club and the size of our supporter base, it can be a powerful weapon.
“Everybody having a kick at us”. “Supporters will take sanctions”. “It’s about starting to fight back”.
Watch yourself at the weekend. After the game, go home and stay there. Talk about kicking and fighting three days before the game does not bode well.

Jabba on Sportssound said that he had had talks with people within SFA that would indicate that the appeal would be successful.
He did not identify those with whom he had spoken.
If asked, he would insist, and rightly so, that sources would have to be protected otherwise it would be almost impossible for him to do his job.
That the same principle should be applied to SFA panel members is one that he should grasp.
He doesn’t, of course.
Why?
There are two possibilities:
it does not suit his purpose;
he is a tumshie.
I have been reading some of the comments regarding rangers working up from the third division
and the idea that a newco hun will maybe shed some of the baggage of the present hun
In my opinion what we are going to experience in the next few years will be the most hate filled period of that sordid clubs history
they ultimately will get round to blaming us for all the problems that they have
they will have more time on their hands for more hate filled activities ( if that is possible)
their will be sash bashes coming to a hall near all of us
they will lash out at us and as usual in this little country it will get swept under the carpet
like somebody posted earlier , i have found that even the most mild mannered huns who I thought that you could have a reasonable discussion with are showing the true blue colours
I really despair when i see the likes of dungwall getting the air time that he is enjoying at the moment
that is the voice that they are listening to , and that is frightening
Night all.

The horrors are winding themselves up for one last bigotfest.
This isn’t about fitba’ for them. It’s about ultra-violence and entitlement for them. And they believe they have the meejah & the polis in their pockets.
And y’know what? They’re probably right.
Orange Ludge scum.
Aye son,….That wiz the Ranjurrs….
But Grandaa….How did they got rid of them Granda…?
We got too big son,….The Catholic Church had it’s evil grasp on us even then…..and had infiltrated all parts of Scottish fitba. Fenians left, right and centre…..even serving for dear aul’ Queen Liz hersel……….
Was there nothing you could dae Granda…..? There must ‘ve been something wae aw the millions of fans across the wuurild……. What did you do…?
Well,…there was this Sports Shop by the name of Greaves…………

Let me be clear fellah … critique I can handle. Political debate I can do all night.
But twisting my words my man? Not good.
You show me where I suggested that people who didn’t support Obama were racist? I said that the Republican campaign was run based on an appeal to racism and hate. It was not the compelling reason people voted for McCain, but it might have been the reason many chose not to.
If you read it properly – and not just the bits that make you want to have a go – you’ll see that I wished both the Republican Party and Rangers well in their quest to get rid of the elements that shame them, even though that would make both more potent forces, and harder to defeat.
The analogy was an echo of Brogan’s point. McCoist had a chance to be that guy, to be the guy who crafted a New Rangers. I think he could have done it, by the way, had he wanted to. Between his reputation amongst their fans and his allies in the press, he could have been an advocate for a more moral style. The tragedy of my analogy, of course, is that in the years that followed Obama’s election, the hard right got even crazier and more warped.
That’s precisely the path McCoist has put his on, and it is more imperative than ever that they get everything that is coming to them before their already arrogant mindset morphs into a superego Nixon himself would have abhorred.
The left too has its loonies, and I have met more than a few of them.

I’ve spent time in Gozo over the last ten years, similar festivals, I’ll post some highlights to let you see, colourful enjoyment.
setting free the bears – To be fair, that’s just the Fox News watching section of the US right-wing demographic
Ah, Fox News. The Frau Blucher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs5j8uUR2nc) of television stations.
Have you been to America or spent much time watching Fox News or do you even know any American right-wingers?
Or are you regurgitating a lazy caricature perhaps? (thumbsup)
I’m with Melvin, f the hun. Will not spoil my enjoyment.

When an extremist looses an argument, they will, by nature, take their extremism to a higher level. Violence, this is the fallback of the right wing.
if it was my wish. i would wish for every supporter to photocopy their tenners, and give it the big tenner ticker tape !!!! but knowing that lot, it would be like a wedding scramble to them !!!!
having spoken to a few more mature mates than myself. they cant believe the bile coming from the normally placid ones. so mccoists ploy or plan or whatever is defo working. they are like rabid dugs !!! and their fitba team will be too, so i only hope we scud them, on the park.
off the park. ?? my wee village isnt as bad as the surrounding areas, but i hope & pray that we celebrate and never lie down to their like.. 2012 and 100yrs later, nothing has changed…
and RIP young Rheamonn, you will be in the saints queue tonight :)
They hate us for who we are, we hate them for the vile way they behave especially but far from exclusively towards us. No morality, no sportsmanship and no dignity. Playing football the rangers way is an oxymoron. Football to them is all about expressing their innate supremacy, more than a game but for all the wrong reasons, a joyless pursuit.
Ok got that off my chest, time for sleep.
Gok Wan had his kitchen broken into. Gok Wan’s woks gone.
black socks are so 1899 – 1932 actually

The wine was lovely, the banter delightful.

The interview was conducted, and I suspect, designed, by Lindsay Herron of Rangers Media. Not a very astute spin doctor I would venture.
James Forrest.
Obama? Wod love to discuss that subject in more detail. Offered Hope. Gave more to Wall St and the military industrial complex than GWB ever did. White liberal Americans consider critics racist, African Americans hoped for more but now know the score. Wonderful piece of marketing ‘democracy. Colin Powell. I was in the United Nations General Assembly on Sunday. Sitting there I could not help think of Powell and his photographic evidence of weapons of mass destruction presented to the UN.

James – don’t bite with Phil. Or if you do – short and punchy (Lines that is, I wasn’t being Jardinesque)
He pulls pins on humorous hand grenades, but they do bite…

IKI 23.41….Jabba trying to give everyone the impression hees part of the in-crowd
PJBhoynyc:
Great points both. Obama has let us down. Powell’s intervention during the Obama campaign did make me think of his role in the Iraq war, and he knows that will be his legacy, as it will be for everyone involved.
That’s a place I’d like to visit one day.
Sorry Saint Stivs, aw wiz just ripping you knittin’ ;-)
Peace dude.

Aye.. A Timely and Inciteful Warning,kiddo.
As Ah hiv Proclaimed.. afore.. and even, afore ..that!
The G.A. Ethos, is Founded oan.. Hatred.
But…
The Celtic Ethos, is Founded oan.. Love.
And,today,Jardine,has Proved that Proclamation, to be Trew, beyond a shadow of a doubt….
By Exhorting his Audience to Retaliate against what He considers
to be.. Unfair and Unjust Punishments,which have been been awarded against the G.A.
This, type of Demagoguery is very Dangerous…..as….
it can Incite Violence and Public disorder of the worse kind.
Owing to the Fact, that…
Going By , Past Incidents..Of Public Disorder and Lawlessness,in which the G.A. Support have
Eagerly participated,it has been proven that the G.A.
Support is a Public Menace.

Who will be rolled out next? One of the bidders?
James Forrest is Neil Lennon – Very kind of you to reply James.
You show me where I suggested that people who didn’t support Obama were racist?
OK…
I said that the Republican campaign was run based on an appeal to racism and hate.
See, this is where self-awareness might come in handy for you.
If you read it properly
That’s right, blame your poor readers…
The tragedy of my analogy, of course, is that in the years that followed Obama’s election, the hard right got even crazier and more warped.
James, with your out-there political views and tendency towards emotional hyperbole, I’d be wary of calling other people crazy or warped. It would be extremely unkind of others to judge you based on your highly-strung online reaction at the time when poor, confused Gordon Brown called one of his own supporters a “bigoted woman”, to give you one example.
Re: Obama.
In 2008 a lot of Americans voted for Obama because they wanted to prove they weren’t racists.
In 2012 a lot will vote against him to prove they aren’t idiots.
Will their next President be the Giant Douche or the Turd Sandwich? Who can say? In truth, it doesn’t really matter.
Either way, it’s not worth wetting one’s pants with faux-moral self-righteousness because one happened to have favoured the saintly Giant Douche over that awful, racist Turd Sandwich. (thumbsup)
Is the Hampden road show still scheduled for saturday….wouldnt like to be a resident there…shutters etc….wonder who pays for the policing

“Have you been to America or spent much time watching Fox News or do you even know any American right-wingers?”
To answer your questions-
I have been to Disneyland twice- nice people but somewhat fond of dressing up in animal costume, I found.
I am fond of The Simpsons but I find Fox News childish on the few occasions I watched it. I find it hard to believe they believe this kind of spoof themselves
More of this kind of thing in the side panel
My Uncle Bob visited us from Baltimore in the 60’s. He was an American fireman who married my mother’s sister. They brought a suitcase full of drugs with them to our house. Legal drugs, I hasten to add. Everyone took about 5 different prescriptions each though I could never discern much physically wrong with them.
As an attempt to impress us with his US sophistication he showed my brother and I how to disarm a nigger (sic) with a knife. I recall his assertion that they would knife you from above rather than from below, like a white man would, with powerful impact. Thankfully, I have never had to put the theory to the test.
“Or are you regurgitating a lazy caricature perhaps?”
I’ll leave that to your judgement but Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are real, aren’t they?
