  1. I saw , on the BBC site, that Aberdeen had a victory over ` ten man Hearts`. A wee implication there that the `ten man` was a worth of mention factor. I then saw that the red card was issued in the 90th minute. So, eleven men for 89 minutes is not as significant as ten for one minute? Pathetic.

    Forest Green fans doing a Sevco…..

     

     

    Oops, Forest Green fans had something to celebrate :-)

     

     

    Not many goals going about on GFS2 today, wonder how AoW got on, at least Mike in Toronto got two goals if he picked the Sevs :-)

  3. Whats Next…THIS ?

     

     

    New SFA Directive on ALL 50/50 issues…..

     

     

    1) At the Toss of the coin before kick offs…the coin used by the Ref will ensure that no matter who has the call…the decision will be 700/50 against Celtic.

     

    2) All previous tackles that once were deemed as 50/50…will no in future be deemed as 700/50 in favour of any opponents against Celtic…especially for the lads in blue from Govan.

     

    3) All potential offside decisions that have previously been deemed as 50/50 decisions..will now be deemed 700/50 in favour of any club playing Celtic.

     

    4) As above, ANY corners , throw ins, and of course Penalities will be deemed to be 700/50 against Celtic being awarded said decisions.

     

    5) Refs MUST now ensure that during the course of a season, ALL opposition players from ALL Scottish Clubs, will receive 50 yellow/red cards in TOTAL COMBINED, whilst Celtic players MUST be shown 700 yellow/red cards in TOTAL.

     

     

    Above is only an “SFA DRAFT of Proposals”, but we at the SFA do not anticipate ANY objections whatsoever from ANY of or other member clubs, except perhaps Celtic FC.

     

    Therefore ALL member clubs should expect the above SFA Draft Proposals to be fully agreed by ALL our member clubs and implemented for the start of season 2017/2018.

     

     

    Celtic FC reserve the right to Appeal against said ” Draft Proposals”, but should be aware that their chances of success at any Appeal will be 700/50…against them.

     

     

    As with the building of the New National Football Stadium , the Funding for this £700 Million Project, WILL be funded by Celtic FC ( As they play there more often than any other member club), and of course, we expect some of that funding to come from Celtic FC Supporters Clubs funds, as they continue to collect subscriptions from their Celtic support/members, who will only be awarded 50 match tickets in TOTAL for each match played at the new stadium.

     

    700 Match Tickets to each individual who supports a member club outwith Celtic FC, for each semi final and or Final which Celtic FC qualify for, will be given to those members to distrube/flog as they see fit .

     

     

    Too Far Fetched…..?

  4. Can I mention that as an Irish nationalist (UFB) living in Scotland with my family for many years I would have never ever contemplated voting for the SNP until today. Labour allowing OO members to stand as councillors, Wilson, an alleged Celt, now playing the NI sectarian card ( an absolute FUD – imo) has now made me realise that the only alternative to Tory austerity and to try and prevent the perpetual political disenfranchisement of the working class in Scotland is to consider voting for the SNP. As distasteful as I would find that given their ‘history’ and lack of any real socialist agenda. Sometimes one has to consider the unpalatable as an alternative to the unthinkable. Alba Abu

    Brendan Rodgers is our leader – we cannot be defeated.

     

     

    RIP TheBarcaMole – LEGEND.

     

     

    Victory to the SAA & Hezbollah.

     

     

    Venceremos.

     

     

    Hail Hail!

  6. What is the Stars on

    European Football confirmed for Sevco

     

     

    I see some of their possible first round opponents include Derry City,Cork City and Shamrock Rovers

     

     

    I would just love it if my little Irish team Shamrock Rovers got them

     

    That would be fun and lots of overtime for our baton happy police

  7. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    WITS, that would be splendid. One would also hope that your local polis would have the good sense to break out the heavy batons:-)

    You see that’s where a nat mindset gets you.

     

     

    You end up spouting stuff that you know is pish, but you’re happy to do it anyway.

     

     

    It’s like you’ve left your brain at the door.

    ##

     

     

    Scotland has a budget deficit of about 9.5%.

     

     

    Anyone who thinks an independent Scotland wouldn’t be facing catastrophic cuts in public expenditure is a moron.

    Oglach , Timmy 7 Noted.

     

     

    “A SENIOR SNP politician has defended accepting hospitality from one of the most ultra-Unionist groups in Scotland – the Orange Order.

     

     

    David Stocks, leader of the SNP opposition on North Lanarkshire Council, attended the Order’s annual awards ceremony, known as the Orange Oscars, it has emerged.”

     

     

    Paragraph from the Evening Times Aug 2016 for your consideration.

     

     

    For those of us who believe in a Catholic education, be wary, be very wary.

    The supposed sectarian card.

     

     

    All sorts of religions represented and voting nationalist.

     

     

    Meanwhile the unionists are including the orange order.

     

    It was ever thus.

  13. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Car advice required, got a 10 year old Honda Accord diesel…..new regs i think are telling me to get rid , any options gratefully received

  14. I think it depends which paper you read. The Sunday Herald is the only avowedly pro-Independence one. I’m sure they are happy to print any story which they see as helping the SNP. While it saddens me to see any Party tolerating the OO never mind courting them, the SNP, certainly historically, haven’t been averse to seeking their votes. That is Scotland’s not so secret shame.

    Oh Dear,

     

     

     

    Ernie doing what Ernie does. No CQN for me tonight.

     

     

    Indeed, the usual Ernie tactic, post something to get a reaction, get said reaction, call anyone who calls him out a moron, formulatic and predictable as ever, zzzzzzzzz

  16. Saint Stivs on

    How many orange men in Scotland now ?

     

     

    Even in council seats they are an irreverence.

     

     

    Why be afraid of them

     

     

    Oh the empire ……

    Surely Brendan, must be manager of the year, I actually would find it quite funny if he wasn’t, in fact it would show the lot of them up for what they are

     

     

    Chris Sutton was brilliant on BT today and as much as I like Stuart Armstrong he has been magic since around January, Scott Brown has been magic from July 2016

    Actually, if you actually bother to read the thread, I merely responded to a a pro nat post.

     

     

    That’s still allowed.

  19. The OO stuff is weird. Not for nothing were the SNP known as the “Strictly Nae Papes” party not that long ago. Indeed, the party’s founding fathers were as anti-Irish as they were anti-English.

     

     

    That has faded, as it has everywhere, thankfully, but I’m sure pockets still exist in all parties. Scotland remains the last bastion (however small) of this kind of politics on mainland Britain. No-one in England or Wales cares anymore.

     

     

    The story in the nationalists’ favourite Sunday paper I suspect was intended to smear the SNP’s opponents – but what it does is remind us of what Scotland is.

    ===============

     

    Actually Ernie my post wasn’t pro SNP more of a lament to Scottish politics and the sad fact that outwith the SNP, in Scotland that is, no one has a chance of halting the seemingly inexorable rise of the right in British politics. Labour has probably sunk to an all time low in my opinion. For what ever reason they have allowed members of the OO stand as labour candidates in local gov elections. That for me was ‘beyond the pale’. I mentioned that my considering voting for the SNP was distasteful given continently forgotten racist history but given the alternative one hasn’t much choice. And Wilson is a FUD for trying to equate NI politics with that of Scotland – a Celt maybe but not one that id chose to recognise

  22. Mats Nilloc on

    Those who base their support for an SNP bankrupt Scotland on the bogeymen of the OO and their like, should stop and think for just a moment.

     

     

    Where will these ‘enemies’ go to, or do, in an Independent Scotland?

     

     

    I’ll tell you – they will re-organise and re-engage as a much more potent force with more influence and power – simply put they will be BIGGER fish in a much SMALLER pool.

     

     

    The Ulsterisation of Scotland will be complete – don’t look for help from SNP after Indy. They will melt into the background smirking “job done – legacy secured”. They will not hang around to deal with the serious economic and financial issues that will face Scotland, or, the backlash, when people’s jobs and social payments come under pressure in a debt-ridden country, with no currency, no central bank, out of UK, it’s biggest market, out of EU, out of NATO, with no shipbuilding industry and a financial services sector relocating to England.

  23. Jimmynotpaul on

    Italiabhoy.

     

    I think you are on to something.

     

    All mainstream parties in Scotland appear to have a few, maybe more members, who like to keep the O/O street.

     

    None of the above for me.

    Is your households excitement building for the the big day?

    Seriously Matts, you did just post that there eh?

     

     

    Thank god we are part of the UK were people’s jobs are not at risk, social payments are not coming under pressure, were we are not landed with almost 2 trillion of debt, were we have shipbuilding and we have a financial sector determined to run itself from third world countries. Oh and were the NHS is safe for everyone’s future.

     

     

    Thank the lord for such brilliant financial prudence.

     

     

    Marvellous.

    Hope all is good, I read you and Marsapa (I think) were in contact over the sad stuff regarding the Barca Mole, this is a very special blog

     

     

    Cheers for asking, let’s just say the nerves are in charge, thankfully the wee yin is taking it in her stride, it’s me & her mother that’s panicking :-) got a feeling with 20+ kids at least I know it’s not just us that are worrying, her wee bidding prayer is quite apt and for the Cqners that have left us and the ones who still need the prayers will be in my thoughts next week, the wee yin is threatening to buy me and her a ticket for the legends game, if she carries out her threat hopefully she gets the bug :-)
