  1. Some start, could be a ding dong this...
  2. Great Off the Ball there. This is our year
  3. So they want us to raise more tax revenue to compensate for removing Barnett. How exactly?...
  4. I thought the Tories were meant to be his main rivals in East Ren? It's probably got the highest Unionist & Zionist contingent in the west of Scotland so no surprises Jim Murphy is so popular though...
  5. All of it. Although he spoke Yiddish as his first language, so I doubt he had too much affinity for Ukraine. He certainly lived a full life!... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Nimoy
  6. Only watched BBC4 myself but from this comment I can now understand what it must be like to be a Rangers fan right now...
  7. Me also, gold & white every time. My missus sees blue/black predominantly. Weird!
  8. I imagine Feyenoord are getting especially hammered if Celtic are being pulled up for a couple of flares?
  9. I did some early research into this back in the 70s coz I could only do it with my left hand (I'm left handed btw). Simply I used my left hand to hold the right hand fingers in the correct position for a few minutes and thereafter I was like an ambidextrous Vulcan. Possibly my pre-teen fingers were easier to train but worth a try...
  10. I'm pretty tall but even the Ayr scum tend to go above my knees...
  11. Agreed those are the origins of the song. Although to me (and many others I'm sure) the use if the term "Fenian" casts the net much further in terms of those who it may offend. However you look at it, it's got bawz aw to do with fitba. And while I appreciate many terracing chants don't, few of those irrelevant songs have such an offensive edge.
  12. Agree with what you're saying Craig, although I was actually alluding to our record at the FIFA World Cup finals which should have been much better...
  13. It's a song having a pop at your footballing rivals, not a very tasteful one I admit, but not grossly offensive in it's insinuations outside of the stadium. The Billy Boys on the other hand is celebrating triumphalism over a minority of the population, who may or may not have anything to do with Celtic. As mentioned elsewhere swap "Fenian" in the lyrics with "Nigger" or "Paki" and does it seem acceptable?
  14. Sums up what's wrong with fitba these days. As long as the big boys get their CL money each year all is well. Champions League - rewarding mediocrity since 1992...
  15. Dimblmblm said it will be a 6 person panel. 4 politicians and 2 writers, one of whom was Val McDermid...
  16. Only saw a quick replay but it looked a tackle from behind, always taking a chance there even if you do get the ball. Willie Miller on the radio was saying it was a tackle he didn't need to make and it showed his inexperience...
