  1. although I know britain has artificially stacked the place with people since the Falklands war I still believe that its up to the islanders. even before the war the islanders obviously wanted to be (puke) british. Up to them and no-one else. It was once said that Argentina should send a boat of women over to the island and that theyd all be Argentinian in a generation.

  2. I get annoyed by people alluding to religious bigotry at the Fitba as a Scottish problem.In my opinion its a peculiarly Irish problem. Until immigrants to Scotland from both north and south of the emerald isle decided to give us the gift of involvement in their own particular struggles, im pretty sure most of the West of Scotland couldn't give a flying funk that King Billy won a battle or that 'Sean South did indeed hail from Garryowen. Unfortunately there were enough Neanderthals on both sides to buy into this narrative and use the very limited information they possessed as an excuse to batter the sh1t out of each other at every available opportunity whilst the men behind the wire and the hands across the water back in the Ould Country carried on with their protection rackets and general gangsterism. Sadly they managed to brainwash too many of the more dim-witted persuasion to continue what they began in the guise of the Old Firm. I think that its only when the hordes who catch the ferry or fly over from Ireland every weekend and pitch up at Ibrox or Parkheid are encouraged to go and support their own local teams and gie the rest of us peace that we will make any progress in this area.

    Oh dear, there were more anti catholic societies in Glasgow at one point than actual Catholics. I think you're kidding yourself on a wee bit. The backlash against Irish Catholic immigrants from indigenous Scots was what led to segregated schooling in the first place. Scotland would be a better place for being rid of all intolerance, that goes without saying but to blame it all on the Irish of both religious persuasions is wrong.

  3. Neil Lennon was primarily disliked because he came across as a bit of an arse, rather than anything religious. In my opinion.

    Religion shouldn't come into football.

    Haha! Brilliant revisionism. Neil Lennon is an Irish Catholic Nationalist. A lot of Rangers fans hated him for this, don't kid yourself on. Scott Brown is the same kind of in your face player that Lennon was and whilst a lot of supporters from a liot of teams hate him in the same way they hated Lennon ( but deep down secretly wished they played for their teams) Funny how Brown, so far has managed to escape numerous death threats, assaults and letter bombs.

  4. Ronny picks the players, motivates and a coaches them. In fact he's okaying the offer of new contracts to some of them right now.

    Every coach makes mistakes but you can't keep making the same ones over and over.

    He's lost me.....Ronny out!

    Aye, you have a fair point but tbh I like the guy. I dont think he's a bad manager but I do think we have some very ordinary players. Although, every time, if we can bring in a better manager then we should do it.
