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

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

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

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

Injuries? With our physios we'll be lucky to see him play at all

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.

You not been to Plymouth then Mizer?

Took their time but its finally happened BDO (UBIG's choice) in charge instead of KPMG (Hearts Choice)

a quarter final FFS? They never do anything simple do they

Higdon?? Seriously

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)

,

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

erm...points deduction anyone? SPFL get your fucking act together now

Yawn

Some Grafitti artist named Isla Macrae gets disturbed before she can finish and all hell breaks loose

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?

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.

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

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

Another country for Scotland to trip up against http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22657481 Seemingly Jersey are also looking to apply

Get the impression my point has been missed here An attack in which a man is decapitated and his alleged attacker stands on the street and preaches his philisophy gets instant media attention A similar of not more horrific attack for people to witness happens 400miles up the road and gets no coverage whatsoever Differences between the 2 - Victims in both were very different people. One a known criminal and the other an innocent bystander - One was targeted and the other in the wrong place at the wrong time - Attackers in one legged it before the cops arrived. Attackers in the other hung back and even spoke to the public while holding their weapons before being shot by the armed cops. - Police arrested people fairly quickly in one. Cops could almost be accused of ignoring the other - One is to supposedly send a message to the government, the other was to send a message to a rival gang - One carried out in one of the worst areas of a city, the other in a fairly affluent part of another - One was filmed by people, the other if it was those people certainly weren't going to give it to the police or media Similarities between the 2 -Broad daylight attacks in public areas -Same weapons used -witnessed by innocent bystanders If you want to take the debate to 'is one life more valuable than another' then by all means try. It is a very dangerous topic What i am pointing out is crimes like this are happening in the UK on a more regular basis than the media would have you believe. However only certain ones are picked up by the national media A total nutter can go on a killing spree with a gun or knife etc at any point. Usually there is no way of predicting such an event. The media will have people terrified to go to woolwich for months now because 'thats where the nutters and terrorists' are. Young men and women carrying around machetes and killing each other for the purposes of making statements against another gang and with seemingly little or no response from the authorities? That is more scary to me

A similar incident happened in the east end of Glasgow about 6 years ago. Guy was hacked to pieces in broad daylight in the middle of the street. Guy was a well known gangster and had decided to slash one of his rivals faces the night before then made the mistake of going for a walk alone when a car pulled up and within a few minutes he was gone. Local press barely touched it. National press ignored it. Not sure if the police ever got the guys who did it and it was essentially put down as 'just another gang related incident' Fairly ok area of London, victim allegedly a soldier, killers meant to be spouting some sort of religious spiel so straight away labelled a terrorist attack. Media jump all over it. Perhaps im too cynical or have a sick mind but I cant believe that there haven't been similar incidents with the London Gangs in the past. Of course the inevitable death penalty debate will no doubt kick off again
