The not-so-new reality

390

A few points you can take to the bookies without losing your money:

If Joey Barton bet on the Barcelona-Celtic game odds of this being his first offence this season will be around 100/1. This ‘news’ has leaked at a time of choosing, not days after the practice started.

Joey Barton is a self-certified rule breaker, but if his induction process didn’t cover SFA rules about betting on football, a large portion of responsibility on this issue lies with his employer. And it’s not their first offence. I know many of the faces at Ibrox haven’t changed since the old days, but rules are not there to be ignored.

It’s palpably farcical to suggest anyone other than a died-in-the-wool fan wouldn’t “prefer to come to Celtic” than go to Newco Rangers, and even then, Scott Allan jumped at the chance to pull on the hoops. We could take our pick of anyone from Murray Park, or a supporters’ bus on its way to Ibrox, for that matter.

The world has changed. No one would pay attention to a St Johnstone player who said he rejected Celtic to go to Perth, claims that Joey did likewise are equally fanciful.  Welcome to the not-so-new reality.

    Good evening folks! Hope all’s well.

    ‘Hard Time’ and ‘Prison Time’, both by Shaun Attwood. Amazing stuff from a truly amazing man. Absolute diamond of a man.

     

     

    ‘McCarthys Bar’ by Pete McCarthy. An absolute pleasure to read! Hilarious yet touching.

     

     

    If ye like a good book, hae a look.

    Thanks,mate. Powerful stuff. Even to the epilogue.

     

     

    What I find disturbing,far too often,when I view clips like this is the comments section.

     

     

    Some very sick individuals around.

    That’s pretty near the entire UK military budget. How do we get some?

    A poor signing Maggie. For another two billion they could have signed Messi.

    It’s a sad situation to be in when that sh*t just passes ye by and all ye can do is hope that others don’t feel as helpless…. or hope they don’t see it. For all their crap, they can’t touch what’s important to me! May that always be. Feck’em…. but see beyond and above them.

    Controversy now.

     

     

    IMHO ……The last hurrah of Obama .The lamest of lame duck presidents . A puppet of the ” Judeo Christian movement.” N.B. No longer Jewish lobby or Christian lobby.

     

    More Judeo than Christian imho.

     

    Even the terminology is a fix.

     

     

    Trump is in wait.

    BobM, if you want to see sick bastards, have a look at the thread about Chris McLaughlin on hun media.

    MACJAY

     

     

    You`re right about the appalling comments.

     

    It`s almost as if they are unaware that Finkelstein is Jewish.

     

     

    Gorrago.

    Who’s best for the job? Do you believe anyone could do the job? Who could cut the strings and disobey ‘The Master’? It’s all a sideshow, and it’s clearly reaching the target audience. Do you want to fight in the audience or do you want to help the audience?

    and all that accomplished under an intransigent republican congress and senate who have consistently refused to recognize the legitimacy of his presidency under the American constitution because of the abundance of melanin in his skin.

     

    Quite a feat

     

    I’ll miss him.

  21. Tambourine Bhoy of 1967 on 21st September 2016 2:20 am

     

     

    I’ll be voting for Hilary. Trump is a fraud. Simple.

  22. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    MARGARET MCGILL on 21ST SEPTEMBER 2016 2:15 AM

     

    macjay

     

     

    Very quickly, mate.

     

     

    Why then is there the real possibility that Americans could choose Trump.

     

     

    The international status of the US. on whom we all rely for security has never been lower.

     

     

    The most important issue is global security.

     

    It has imho never , since the Cuban missile crisis , been under so much threat as it is today.

     

    Russia and China know that they have carte blanche to do whatever they choose. Viz Crimea and South China sea.

     

    Obama`s red line in Syria ?

     

     

    The Brexit vote was imho in part about security from the influx of ISIS refugees.

     

    Safety and security. The overwhelming global issue today.

     

     

    Sorry , pal . Got to run.

  23. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on 21st September 2016 2:25 am

     

     

    Not sure thats true. Depends on the white american stupid c**t ratio.

     

    Dont forget USA is still a very racist country and thats the trump card.

     

    oh yeah you remind me of another Obama accomplishment…normal relations with Cuba; 50 year embargo ended.

  24. Tambourine Bhoy of 1967 on

    MARGARET MCGILL on 21ST SEPTEMBER 2016 2:23 AM

     

     

    I can’t imagine you believing Hilary isn’t also a fraud. Aren’t they all? It’s all part of the job.

     

     

    I don’t vote for anyone I don’t trust…. I never have voted and I doubt I ever will. I just can’t give that part of me away for it to be f*cked over and forgotten. Each to their own. Being good’s better than being patriotic or ‘right’.

  25. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on 21st September 2016 2:25 am

     

     

    and another thing.. :)

     

    South China sea.

     

    maybe Duterte of the Phillipines shouldnt have called Obama ” a son of a whore” when he tried to discuss China with him 2 weeks ago. That attitude doesnt help. Obama had the temerity to ask Duterte are you sure the 2,800 extra judicial killings in Phillipines without due process since you have approved since coming to office a few months ago are all drug dealers as you claim? :)

    Q-Which of them would you be more comfortable with as President?

     

    A-Ffs,didn’t you hear my last answer?!

     

     

    Q-One of them has to win. Which one would most scare the bejaysus outa you as President?

     

    A-…

     

     

    Point being,distasteful as they are,there is a point at which you have to say-NAW!!!!

     

     

    Time was we voted FOR politicians,more fool us.

  28. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    From the little I’ve read about Duterte,I’m quite sure he will have the evidence to prove that.

    Ok, now I’ll vote! She earned it. Good on her, paying her tax! Deserves a vote indeed.I

  30. Tambourine Bhoy of 1967 on

    Voting’s what gives them power. I don’t trust them so I don’t vote. I refuse to vote for the best of a bad bunch. I’ll keep my conscience clear and see what happens. I certainly won’t be sucked into the crap.I

  31. I guess you all know the story of the two cows in one field and two bulls in the next.

     

    The bulls were fighting to see which one would service the cows.

     

    The younger cow said to the older one “Let’s run over to see who wins.”

     

    The older one replies “Keep on grazing. It doesn’t matter who wins, we will get screwed anyway.”
