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. One of the more eloquent conspiracy theorists from Sevcomedia opines on the armed forces’ criticism of Remembrance Day “celebrations” at Snake Mountain:

     

     

    “The Queen needs to get involved in this s***e, im *** moving to America its beyond a joke here

     

     

    *** CHARITY? It was never more appropiate?? a gun starting and finishing a minute silence????

     

     

    2 guys flying there flag?? have they not earned the right to do what the **** they want?

     

     

    having all our heros on the park at ibrox???

     

     

     

    Were the ******* hell was anything inappropiate…

     

     

    honestly This country is being taken over snd were standing back accepting this nonsense”

  2. I want this back. It DOES work.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

     

     

    There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death..

     

     

    The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

     

     

    ‘I want to repay you,’ said the nobleman.. ‘You saved my son’s life..’

     

     

    ‘No, I can’t accept payment for what I did,’ the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the family hovel.

     

     

    ‘Is that your son?’ the nobleman asked.

     

     

    ‘Yes,’ the farmer replied proudly.

     

     

    ‘I’ll make you a deal… Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he’ll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.’ And that he did..

     

     

     

    Farmer Fleming’s son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

     

     

    Years afterward, the same nobleman’s son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

     

     

     

    What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

     

     

     

     

    The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill … His son’s name?

     

     

     

     

    Sir Winston Churchill.

     

     

     

     

    Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

     

     

     

    Work like you don’t need the money.

     

     

    Love like you’ve never been hurt.

     

     

    Dance like nobody’s watching.

     

     

    Sing like nobody’s listening.

     

     

    Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

     

     

     

    It’s National Friendship Week. Send this to

     

    everyone you consider

     

     

    A FRIEND.

     

     

     

    Pass this on, and brighten some one’s day.

     

     

     

    AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: You had better send

     

    this back!! Good Luck!

     

     

    I hope it works….

     

     

     

    May there always be work for your hands to do;

     

     

    May your purse always hold a coin or two;

     

     

    May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

     

     

    May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

     

     

    May the hand of a friend always be near you;

     

     

    May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

     

     

    and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your’e dead..

    Not an issue, I know the rules, thought it might have snuck past. I’ll take my punishment like a man.

  4. art of war

     

     

     

    That is always the way if the Little Englander. There is a fair amount of anti Scottish fervour down here.

     

    Rarely to your face but proffered in political opinion and denigration if the SPL and of course Celtic.

     

     

    For all those who want to play in the bloated self important EPL, be careful what you wish for.

  5. I cant believe i seen the leigh griffiths alleged shoplifting yesterday in Costorphine and never snapped a pic of him lying on the deck with the boys on top….

     

    I thought I recognised the wee cant but couldnt place him…..

     

    The hibs trackie should have been a giveaway i suppose…..

  6. Monaghan

     

     

    I think that’s representative of the current Hun/Unionist feeling that the moment

     

     

    They seem to feel that their traditions and values are being eroded

     

     

    Progress in a democratic society doesn’t rest easy with them

    That’s a myth.

     

     

    And Fleming’s role in the development of penicillin was less than honourable.

    Irvine Welsh backs bridge for fellow Hibs man Connolly

     

    December 17, 2012 by admin · Leave a Comment

     

    Scottish author Irvine Welsh is the latest high profile cultural figure to back the campaign to name the new transport bridge over the Liffey in Dublin in honour of James Connolly.

     

    Welsh told LookLeft, “Connolly was a true man of the people, a great socialist and anti-imperialist. He was also the best kit man Hibernian FC ever had.”

     

    Both the Trainspotting author and Connolly were ardent fans of Edinburgh football club Hibernian, Connolly working as a kit man for the club in his youth.

     

    Other cultural figures who are backing the campaign include singers Imelda May, Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Mary Black and Frances Black; actors Bryan Murray, Gabriel Byrne and Jer O’Leary; comedians Brendan Grace and Brendan O’Carroll; poets Theo Dorgan and Paula Meehan, as well as artist Robert Ballagh and Dublin GAA star Alan Brogan.

     

    Pledging his support to the campaign Brendan O’Carroll, said that, having once been a member of “Robert Emmet branch of the James Connolly Youth Movement”, he fully recognised the importance of Connolly’s legacy.

     

    James Connolly Bridge campaign coordinator, Brendan Carr, said: “What we are trying to do is remember the struggle of the people of Dublin 100 years ago and the link we have between 1913 and 1916 is James Connolly.”

     

    The public transport bridge from Marlborough Street to Hawkins Street is due to open in summer 2013, a year of special significance to the trade union movement as it marks the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Lockout and comes just three years before the centenary of the 1916 Rising.

    One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If he’s not your cup of tea that’s okay with me ;)

  14. They are a horrible, tactless bunch of reprobrates…

     

     

    MILITARY chiefs have criticised

     

    Remembrance Day events organised by

     

    Rangers.

     

    Top brass branded the half-time parade

     

    during a match against Peterhead in

     

    November as inappropriate.

     

    Fans watched Royal Marines abseil from

     

    the stadium roof and a howitzer was fired

     

    from the trackside to signal a minute’s

     

    silence.

     

    But following complaints, Major General

     

    Nick Eeles, General Officer Commanding

     

    Scotland, met Navy and RAF chiefs and

     

    they agreed to ban a repeat.

     

    Instead, he has said just a minute’s

     

    silence would be a more appropriate way

     

    to mark the contribution of those who

     

    served in the two world wars and other

     

    conflicts.

     

    In a letter to one person who complained,

     

    the Army secretariat wrote: “The General

     

    Officer Commanding Scotland has now

     

    had the opportunity to review the events

     

    that took place at Ibrox Park with the

     

    other service heads in Scotland.

     

    “They share your view that the format of

     

    the half-time event and the conduct of

     

    those taking part in it was inappropriate

     

    for Remembrance weekend and will take

     

    steps to ensure that such events are

     

    conducted with appropriate solemnity in

     

    the future.

     

    “They believe that the minute’s silence

     

    before the match was the correct way to

     

    mark the occasion and Army commanders

     

    will be directed to restrict future

     

    Remembrance events to this type of

     

    activity in the future.

     

    “The focus of Remembrance activities

     

    must be on the fallen, not on those who

     

    are serving in the Armed Forces today.”

    Progress in a democratic society doesn’t rest easy with them

     

    ——

     

    Especially when it’s orchestrated by Rome via Opus Dei – I suppose they have a point!

  16. Read this through to the end – even if it sounds like it doesn’t interest you. IT WILL!

     

     

     

    NBA VS NFL ?

     

     

    Even if you aren’t a Sports Fan this is Very Interesting!

     

     

    36 have been accused of spousal abuse

     

     

     

    7 have been arrested for fraud

     

     

     

    19 have been accused of writing bad checks

     

     

     

    117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

     

     

     

    3 have done time for assault

     

     

     

    71, I repeat71

     

     

     

    cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

     

     

     

    14 have been arrested on drug-related

     

     

     

    charges

     

     

    8 have been arrested! for shoplifting

     

     

    21currently are defendants in lawsuits,

     

     

     

    and

     

     

    84have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year!

     

     

     

    Can you guess which organization this is?

     

     

    Is it the NBA Or NFL?

     

     

     

    Give up yet?

     

     

     

    Scroll down,

     

     

     

     

     

    Neither,

     

     

    it’s the 535 members of the

     

     

    United States Congress

     

     

     

    The same group that crank out

     

     

     

    hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

     

     

    You gotta pass this one on!

  17. If the Huns has chosen to respect the memories of all those killed in war with a modicum of respect and solemnity, they might have actually begun to build something approaching……..tradition and values. They didn’t.

     

    Instead they chose to turn it into a circus grotesque as horrible as all their other ‘celebrations’.

     

     

    Hell mend ’em.

  18. Another myth busted…

     

     

    Celtic are Scotlands most watched club on TV with an average of 229k watching their

     

    games on Sky/ESPN. Div 3 Club The Rangers average 121k.

     

     

    Makes ESPN upcoming schedule even more ridiculous.
