  2. If you do you have to go dressed as McGlashan

  4. Same reason they still had the 3 available subs rule for the scottish cup till after the 2000 cup final. This despite the league allowing clubs to name 5 subs since about 1998 Nothing changes until something bad happens and there is an outcry
  5. Failed bids for 2 clubs who were financially fucked. One saved, the other burned Has a website which tells you next to fuck all about them but does have lots of pretty pictures of various stadiums around the world Bids 5million to buy a club with 25 millions of pounds of debt and say they will build a new stadium? Either another non story or the potential for another 5 years of fun
  6. Friday 2nd August - Partick vs Arabs 19:45 Saturday 3rd August - Celtic Vs Ross County - 17:15 (Good to see they are looking out for the County Fans ) Sunday 4th August - Motherwell vs Hibernian 13:15 Saturday 10th August - Blue Meanies vs Brechin 12:45 Sunday 11th August - Hearts vs Hibs 12:05 Motherwell vs Dons 15:00 (presume this is something to do with Europa league?) Friday 16th August - Partick vs Hearts 19:45 Saturday 17th August - Dons vs Celtic - 12:30 Friday 23rd August - Airdrie vs Blue meanies 19:45 Saturday 31st August - Arabs vs Celtic - 12:45 Motherwell vs Kilmarnock 17:30
  7. Get the impression that these meetings are pretty much like the scene at 3:30 in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8xv_WPOl_4
  8. Injuries? With our physios we'll be lucky to see him play at all
  9. Apparently they need to sell 3000 season tickets in the next 2 weeks to avoid a 'fire-sale' of the squad 2 senior players and 2 youth players leaving today along with 14 Office staff.
  10. Took their time but its finally happened BDO (UBIG's choice) in charge instead of KPMG (Hearts Choice)
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DLQ-FtAusc .
  12. a quarter final FFS? They never do anything simple do they
  13. Had yon local council boy who is chairman of the 'heart's Foundaiton' asking the fans to subscribe to give £10 a month to their fund so they can buy the club. Have to wonder exactly how successful that is going to be? Certainly cant see it being enough to save them in their current guise. I am predicting liquidation come mid July and Morton being promoted (granted they can quickly install 260 spare seats somewhere)
  14. Let us not forget that Hearts were his third choice Arabs and Pars told him to GTF Hearts opened their legs and let him plough right through. Wonder if Dunfermline would even exist in any form had they said yes
  15. erm...points deduction anyone? SPFL get your fucking act together now
  16. Some Grafitti artist named Isla Macrae gets disturbed before she can finish and all hell breaks loose
  17. before we discount him for his average spl record let us not forget Michael Higdon Goal Average at Crewe - 1 goal every 8.1 games Falkirk - 1 Goal every 3.44 games St Mirren - 1 Goal every 3.05 games Motherwell - 1 Goal every 1.67 games Did anyone reckon honestly see that coming?
  18. Back to the topic in hand now the media is harassing the poor blokes family. Taking random quotes and making headlines out of them. The P & J were a bunch of cunts with friends of mine when there members of the same family were killed in separate accidents on the A9 in the space of 2 weeks. Most evil part was they sent a journalist to the daughters funeral taking a space of a genuine mourner I really hate to think how bad the national media are treating his wife and parents now.
  19. I was merely pointing out the 2 extremes that can be brought from religion. There is no right or wrong answer with it. You cant prove it but at the same time you cant disprove it. Some Scientists can be so arrogant to claim they can but science only follows facts and the wonderful thing about facts is as time goes buy more information is discovered which then disproves the old and reveals the new. Atom was once believed to the the smallest thing. Used to think the world was flat. Religion as i see it is completely down to you having faith that someone or something is looking after you and everyone else The more I hear about Dawkins the more I'm distancing myself from him but I cant believe he would be the sort of cunt who would questions someone who did perhaps say 'my faith got me through the pain of losing my wife/becoming paralysed/going bankrupt etc."' If someone can find peace and happiness in believing there is some giant bloke, alien, elephant high above them and gets on with things then why should we question it? On the flip side if someone gets through these things without finding a faith then why should we question that? What is worse? A militant religious person or a militant Athiest? Both want you to think their way and get angry when you don't I liked Jim Jeffries' idea- Wake up in the morning. Read the sign that says 'try not to be a cunt' and then go about your day
  20. As I see it religion's big failing is it is all about how you interpret whatever holy book it is meant to be based on. And once you have a 'belief' you tend to get very Arsey if someone dares suggest that you have based your life on nonsense. All too often it is used as an excuse for you just not liking something. Go back a few hundred years and Christianity was the scourge in the world with 'the crusades'. Armies descending on far off lands to convert the savages to the one true god (and also nick whatever they could for their leaders). There are far right christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindi, muslims who will all carry out terrorist attacks given half the chance but because of 911 the Muslim faith is the demon of the moment and with the current media facilities it is very easy to make you think anyone who so much as looks at the Koran is going to blow themselves up. The worlds media is controlled by the west and the west is predominantly Christian, Jewish or non believers and you cant demonise your own kind as that isnt profitable (Shutting their eyes and ignoring Israel's antics for the best part of 70 years). At its best religion can be a wonderful thing that can bring happiness, hope, inspiration and comfort to people At its worse it is the destroyer of worlds
