  1. You guys likely to be hanging around after? May pop in on return from the match
  2. Ignore him, he just comes out with this shit to keep the Huns on the tv and in the papers.
  3. now see if I had read the accompanying story:
  4. Did the organising committee outsource this to a local Primary School? Our mascot for 2014
  5. Amazed nobody has commented on the fact they failed to pay some players again http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/hearts/190931-hearts-face-possible-signing-ban-as-spl-board-meets-on-wage-delay/
  6. Aye I wrote a lengthy email to DST instead of completing their poll as it was a waste of time.
  7. Enjoy http://www.channel4.com/news/kelvin-mackenzie-doorstepped-by-channel-4-news
  8. Perhaps we should be playing more of these youngsters in the first team, they don't seem to have any worries scoring goals:
  9. Sevco fans: you're just here to see the rangers. Qots fans: you're not rangers any more.
  10. You can watch live on alba, not on the radio as far as I can see. Just found out Kyle was sent off for an elbow too but the ref evened things up and both down to ten
  11. I'll be ok but looks like 1000s will be shafted. Sure the Belgium police will be delighted there will be 1000s of ticketless fans wandering about Brussels
  12. Worst performance of the season by some margin. Seemed to have forgotten we are allowed to pass the ball on the ground. Hayes and Fraser were quiet but it was the middle of the park that was disappointing. Think we perhaps scored from our only attempt on goal but would need to check the stats. Smith deserves to start on Sunday for that goal alone and brilliant to see how delighted he was to score, and fucking ridiculous he got booked. Must do better

  14. Another good win, 4-1 this time vs the Jutes http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20120911/dundee-u20s-1-aberdeen-u20s-4_2212158_2916451 Dundee U20s 1-4 Aberdeen U20s Low (13 mins), Smith (33 mins), own goal (44 mins), McManus (69 mins); Boyle (54 mins) Date: Tuesday 11th September 2012 Venue: Dens Park
  15. Would be nice to have someone below pension age coaching the first team but apart from that welcome back Jocky
  16. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/12/hillsborough-truth-about-causes-of-disaster?intcmp=239
  17. Interesting read from WSC back in 1989 http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1152-september-2012/8991-post-hillsborough-disaster-editorial
  18. Of course Hillsborough brought about massive change but this is about actions the police took that directly resulted in more lives being lost (opening the gate, not allowing treatment/medics for those needing it, standing on the half way line as if policing a riot and not a disaster). The constant going over of this tragedy has been as a direct result of, the now proven, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, efforts to smear the names of the 96 who died and the complete lack of accountability despite 2 previous enquiries. What these families have been through is nothing short of a disgrace. That it has taken successive governments over 20yrs to uncover this scandal is a disgrace. That perhaps as many as 41 lives could have been saved but for the actions of the emergency services is tantamount to manslaughter. These other disasters were never met with the same level of corruption nor were the significantly exacerbated due to the actions of the Police on that day. There is no justice in knowing yourself what went on and seeing the improvements to grounds and to policing (although given Tomlinson, De Meninizes, Lawerence, etc there are still massive issues with the culture of policing). There is no justice when the there is no official recognition of the extent of the corruption, lies and smears coming from those who are meant to protect us. Indeed this report still isn't justice, it is a vindication of what many have said and believed for 20yrs but that makes it all the more galling that it has taken this long to expose. As for corporate manslaughter, my understanding is that such a prosecution would be against South Yorkshire Police and not one individual, but there must be questions about prosecuting individuals for tampering with evidence, especially given that some hold very senior positions in the Police force today.
  19. and a wider point from Alex Thomson Can we add Iraq and Leverson to that in the coming years?
  20. Exactly. It saddens me that anyone, esp a football fan would express that view. This isn't someone slipping on a wet floor or falling off a ladder. This is more akin to a drunk driver driving at 100mph crashing into someone and killing them, running away then avoiding justice for 20 odd years by way of a cover up. Yes that is an accident, the drunk driver didn't intend to kill anyone, but surely nobody would argue he shouldn't face justice. Here we have a horrific accident that was caused directly by the decisions taken by the Police, which was compound by their continued strategy of treating football fans as hooligans rather than the victims of this horrific accident, who wilfully prevented fans and medical service from assisting those who were dying and then proceeded to blame the fans for the disaster. Furthermore there was a systematic process to pervert the course of justice, and orchestrated smear campaign and 20 odd years of cover up. Significant crimes were committed and it probably isn't going too far to suggest a case for corporate manslaughter. The Police, then as now, were busy treating football fans as criminals simply for following their sides rather than is individuals that deserve their protection and help. If this had happened at the Theatre or a Concert there would have been a very different outcome, but because it is football fans the public, powers that be, and sadly seemingly some football fans find it easier to blame the innocent vicitims Gie yirsel a shake And to suggest revealing the truth behind Hillsborough lessens the importance of other disasters, many of which were investigated and brought about significant change is just frankly bollocks.
