Sure things don’t exist in football

724

St Mirren lost at Tynecastle in November, their fifth consecutive in the league, but since then they have lost only twice: at Celtic Park and last Saturday, when the roof fell in against Ross County.  During that run they recorded good wins against Dundee United and Motherwell.  They sit second bottom of the league but this is an incredibly tight league.  Saints are as close to bottom Dundee as they are to second top Inverness.  In straightforward terms, St Mirren are a form team.

Anyone who believes Celtic are a sure thing better think again.

Remember the days when it would be impossible to get past 8pm and still not know Montrose earlier took a point at Ibrox? Sign of the times it wasn’t really news, I suppose.

  1. Sevconians cracking up at the Remembrance Day story.

     

     

    Presumably that’s the Armed Forces added to the banned list…

  2. As with every aspect of this whole RFC fiasco, all that is required is for the rules/laws to be applied to everyone without fear or favour. That applies to the SPL enquiry, the SFA, the MSM, the HMRC, referees… everyone. Indeed there is only one group of people permitted to show favour, that is the fans themselves (excluding when that conflicts with professional activites).

     

     

    Ironically, if impartiality had been used by Scottish football officials RFC would still exist.

     

     

    The repercussions of the decision, in terms of the ‘good of the game’ or possible social disorder must not be in the thoughts of any officials. The rules/laws are there to govern the game and society. Each club knows them intimately.

     

     

    If they choose to break those rules/laws, they are the ones who should be considerate of the possible repercussions.

     

     

    Mr Murray, Sally et al, don’t pretend that you didn’t know the EBT scheme was dodgy. Don’t pretend that you didn’t know you were breaking the rules of the game.

  3. So if t’rankers just get a wee slap, they crow and strut like roosters on crack?

     

    If they get hammered, they swarm like hornets on methamphetamine?

     

    Is that about it?

  4. ALERTS TO TERROR THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE

     

    By John Cleese

     

     

    The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”

     

    The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

     

    Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.”

     

    The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

     

     

    The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

     

     

    The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

     

     

    Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

     

     

    The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels:

     

    “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose.”

     

     

    Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

     

     

    The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.

     

    These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy

  5. Queen of the South romping away in the 2nd division, still waiting for the MSM to push for them to jump straight into the SPL…

  6. Mea culpa

     

     

    Even handed application of the laws and rules of the game is beyond the comprehension of the Huns

     

     

    Far from being grateful that the rules were bent to accommodate them in div3 they have convinced themselves that there is some form of conspiracy against them

     

     

    Perhaps a conspiracy to have the rules applied evenly ….shocker !!!

  7. yorkbhoy

     

    that has been noted in other parts of the media, you can fully expect to see a clamour from both sky and espn to show copious numbers of qos games

  9. PF

     

    youve hit the nail right on the head fella, and disturbingly (perhaps not surprisingly) some of thems have convinced themselves that its a conspiracy,

     

    chuckles is playing them like a fiddle and thats to be expected as hes only after their cash, the fat controller and others who know the truth as they were part of the debacle are playing to the knuckle dragging no surrender types.

  10. Three Ladies in a Sauna

     

     

    THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.

     

     

    SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE

     

    BEEP STOPPED.

     

     

    THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. ‘THAT WAS MY PAGER,’ SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.

     

     

    A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, ‘THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.’

     

     

    THE OLDER

     

     

    WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

     

     

    SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.

     

     

    THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

     

     

    THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID ….. WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT …… I’M GETTING A FAX!!

  11. Well done Bhoys. You ate quicker in here than the BBC Sport app. That is a very good app for keeping up to date with sport while you are on the move.

     

    It is not too tainted with anyone from SFL 3.

    Cracking up already @WelshIrvine on twitter

     

     

    I think you might be overselling this guy a wee bit.

  15. The resident

     

     

    Could hardly be further than what is considered appropriate for this site

     

     

    House rules mate

  16. Googybhoy- l watched the Beeb live text updates for the semi. Guy was a Federer fan (or anti Murray) as he was very grudging in his praise of Andy.

     

     

    Some final already….c’mon Andy!

  17. Che

     

     

    The media complicity in this mendacity is doing my head in

     

     

    Constantly producing articles which are devoid of perspective and convenient in the use of facts

     

     

    And….continually drawing their own conclusions in a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome of various meetings, tribunals etc

     

     

    I cancelled ESPN on Friday, I don’t buy newspapers or take part in phone ins etc….however it is hard to ignore such blatant misrepresentation

  18. The resident

     

     

    Wasn’t being snippy mate …from one who fell foul of the rules re sweaty words at the start

     

     

    It was funny tho

  19. Shock! Horror! The Daily Retard article on the Remembrance Day activities at Mordor surprisingly failed to mention a single one of the various actions which caused offence.

     

    Indeed, to someone who knew nothing about the events that day, reading that article would be left perplexed by the decision to ban inappropriate activities.

     

    The MSM should report the whole story, including the key elements which the story is, in fact, all about.

     

     

    But, that’s standard for the MSM in Scotland.

  20. This deserves a repost every day for 125 days (may 5th)

     

    10p a day £12:50, 20p a day £25:00.

     

    A fantastic gesture I’M IN :)).

    28 December, 2012

     

    Kano got sick one night, very sick. If it was not for so many Celtic Supporters, from so many places, then Kano would be an ornament in a sterile hospital room. That is not nice because Kano still breathes and he still thinks and he is still a Celtic Supporter to his very core.

     

     

    A lot of money, by a lot of people, was raised to take Kano home. He can’t ever balance the books, but he’d love to.

     

     

    None of us gets more than one go on the roundabout of life.

     

     

    Celtic is celebrating their 125th Birthday and indelibly stamping it into their history by encouraging all to embrace the simple ethos of the clubs founding… let’s try and help those who just don’t have more than the air that they breathe.

     

     

    A lot of Celtic Supporters are doing a lot of different things to raise money for to help those less fortunate than ourselves. To a lot of people that is no big deal.

     

     

    I’m determined to help Kano pay back the kindness shown to him by the Celtic Support by supporting my club to help unfortunates. No big deal.

     

     

    There are some from here who have said they will help me to help Kano to help Celtic to help others.

     

     

    I give up the bevie for 125 days and I give up posting on here for 125 days as of the 1st Jan.. No big deal really, Kano has done both for the best part of four years.

     

     

    I ‘m going to put a wee bit aside for each day that I don’t drink or post and forward it to Celtic to hopefully fill a belly that needs a feed or to make an unfortunate hope where only darkness is their dawn.(but maybe I can have St. Pat’s day off so I can share a day with some good Tims)

     

     

    I’ve only one life and when I’m gone I soon be forgotten but if I’ve ever managed to feed one hungry person, if only for one day, then my life was worth something.

     

     

    No big deal to me or you but the person I fed, he/she will never know where the food came from and they won’t ever be visiting my grave to put some pretty flowers at the base of a head-stone, they’ll be too busy worrying about tomorrow.

     

     

    I can live with that and like Kano, once I’m gone, I’ll know that I never changed the world, hardly left a mark, but still I took to Celtic and I did something to try and ease the pain of others… sort of the Celtic way.
