I can't help looking at the smiling faces celebrating a goal by a lavishly paid player and thinking that not one of them has yet heard the phrase "The Banter Years".

Was following the updates on my laptop on Tuesday night, and when he scored I exclaimed the fact that "I love big Caulks" and the missus gave me a very strange look. No idea why though.

Happy Gregory Tade day folks.

Albus goes outside and within minutes is usually back at the patio door wanting back in. The other day let him out walked through to the kitchen to be confronted with this.

I think that's pretty much exactly what I said. Minus the seethe.

The most successful Falkirk manager of all time. Embarassing the way some of our supporters talk about him.

Disappointingly no T on the glass, but it’s definitely T in the glass. I’m fucking elated!

I've mellowed my retrospective opinion to Hughes considerably over the past few years, but this was largely a myth put forward by a media who saw us play once or twice per sesason. For a good chunk of Hughes' time as manager we were a dull side to watch, and so heavily reliant on a 67-year-old chain smoker that any time he didn't play we were abject. Look at his record: First season: Ochilview. I can't fault him much for this, it wasn't his fault that he didn't know what league we'd be playing in until a couple of weeks before the season. Second season: Promotion. First half of the season was excellent. Second half, we signed Alan Kernaghan to play alongside any two out of Hughes, Campbell, Sharp and James and played hoofball for four months. Third season: Finished 10th. Didn't win a home game until May. Took just 9 points from home games all season. I appreciate the aim of that season was just to survive, but I'm answering specifically about your comments about "quality of play" and "passing opponents off the park". Fourth season: Finished 7th. A great season. Fifth season: Finished 7th. Again, a great season. Sixth season: Finished 10th. After inexplicably deciding that 7th wasn't good enough for a club like Falkirk, Hughes and the BOD got swept up in pushing for 'the next level' and gave him a king's ransom which he then utterly wasted on his dross mates like McNamara, McCann, BoB. Should have been relegated that season, we were comfortably as bad as ICT and only Higdon's sizeable backside kept us up. The cup final run masked how terrible we were. Hughes knew what he'd done and got the hell out of dodge before we appointed the hapless May who took us down. By my standards, that's two-and-a-half good seasons out of six where you could put forward an argument for the quality of our play.

Today is Thank f**k The Scottish Media And Everyone Else Apart From Killie Fans Will Finally Stop Touting Sir Steve For The Scotland Job Friday. I was starting to get a little worried, tbh tbf.

In fairness your back line needed surgery to their derrière after we ripped them a new one at your delapidated excuse of a stadium.

Impinging upon my daily shitposting. An outrage.

My wife tweeted me saying "3 girls in the office got Valentine's bouquets - they're absolutely gorgeous." I replied " That's probably why they got bouquets I've to get my own tea tonight.

Can I be the first to smell shite?

I can’t believe that olympic athletes are also interesting in shagging.

Maybe people were working or had prior arrangements? I'm sure I speak for a few on here though you are an arsehole and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Tbf, you came on here quite recently chatting shite about not wanting to associate with the people who go to the 200 club. You also rather embarrassingly thanked your alter ego for a pint.

We don't have " a" mentalist. We have several.

Saints fans won't give a damn, but seems he was interested in the gig but wasn't getting it. The Barnsley version of McG was on their forum throughout saying that a Portuguese guy was their first choice and the press hadn't picked up on it. Maybe Ross intimated to the board that if it was a choice between the Barnsley offer, and the status quo, Barnsley would have got him, hence the frantic meetings and the new contract offer making him your highest paid manager ever. Whether he'd have taken the Barnsley gig over the increased St Mirren offer, nobody will ever know but seems more than likely his decision was getting made for him and he was happy to receive the extra rewards. St Mirren won't be that bothered. The fans delighted he stayed, the club covering the costs of the increased contract by increasing the compensation required when he does leave. It's been a good story to follow, and obviously from an outside point of view, fans of other clubs hoped it would help make the run in a little more interesting.

From the outside looking in, America seems mental. f**k staying there. Shitehole of a place.

And Leeds in a European semi.....

I remember we played English Champions Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 95. Not a f**k was given.

Your post would have been valid if Jack hadn't gone down there for an interview. This wasn't 'a rag paper made-up story' blown out of proportion.

If I or anybody else stop to think about it there’s no reason to think that other people who support the same football team will share my outlook, attitude and values. Nobody thinks it odd that Jeremy Corbyn, Piers Morgan, Prince Harry and Osama Bin Laden have all chosen Arsenal and everyone would agree that at least one of them is a c**t. The idea that your footballing allegiance should be a statement of ethnopolitical identity is something of a Glaswegian peculiarity and even then it’s a very broad and vague statement. The closing ranks, circling wagons reaction comes when you forget that

Not a single person in that photo knows where the ball is. It's like a renaissance painting with God at the top.

Thelonious Monk - Round About Midnight

Beach Boys - I Get Around

They might have waited till the guy in the background had finished his pish.

Buddist Monk has made almost 500 posts. Feels like every.... single.... one of them as been on the last 10 pages of this thread.

On the Train

Greenied for the sentiment, but tattie munchers, wrap that sevcoesque chat please.

Hunter, Bremner, Giles, Eddie Gray etc. must have missed the team bus. Either that, or happyaccie is talking complete pish again. I’ll hazard a guess at the latter.

Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Loving Feeling

Cregg, Craig, Latapy, O’Donnell in the middle with Barr and Milne at the back. The season we lost out on top 6 away at Aberdeen was great, the 5-1 away to St Mirren, front 3 of Barrett, Higdon and Pedro was unstoppable at times and had Higdon not got injured we would’ve been top 6 comfortably.

I bet you're the type of guy who moans when they pass it back to the keeper at 60 mins while 2-0 up.

SNP candidate elected at stage 5. Fantastic result as the SNP very rarely win single seat STV votes these days. I don't know much about the ward but for central Scotland and my perception of Larbert from the train I'm going to stick my neck out and say that's shocking for Labour.

Signing Kevin McBride and playing him every week Signing Roman Wallner and never playing him. Didn't like the style of play, deadly dull. Along with the Tent Salesman, spending the club to the very blink of oblivion, from which we have never recovered, and openly boasting about doing so. Whoring and touting himself around for any job going whilst being under contract to FFC. Developing a monstrous ego and believing himself to be far too big for the club. Hughes is a thoroughly nasty and unpleasant individual, to which plenty of people who worked at the club, especially in the latter years, will testify. His utter car crash at Raith, and recent desperate attempts to talk his way into jobs he has not a hope in hell of getting, show he has not changed. He never will. Fortunately he'll never darken our door again, next stop EEP when they eventually empty Clueless Johnston

The Kitten. Back in the 60s he was Mum and Dad's cat and before my time although Mum tells me he was a bit of a character. Dad took this splendid photo and flipped it over to produce two Kittens for the price of one!

Happyaccie dishing out telts to the SS.

Pundits and ex Players banging on about “that Celtic Park European atmosphere” when it’s made f-all difference in years.

Call me cynical. but it's a bit odd that they allowed a photographer onto the pitch during a match.

^^^I raise you, Eintract Frankfurt or Real Madrid, take your pick?^^^

Would have been better for us had he left of course but fucking admirable that he has stayed to finish the job he started. When you think of all the Scottish managers who have lifted their skirts at the first offer of a gig in England, it is a refreshing break from the norm and fair play to him. As for the wee boy line.... a bit needless tbh.

I think we should be applauding a young Scottish manager for not taking 5 times the amount of money he was on to finish the job he started. He'll get his big move in the summer/November at the very latest,

I hope you threw her in the Loch and then divorced her. Fucking portrait mode.

Patti Smith Group - Because the Night

No idea what any of this means, but it sounds jolly saucy. Anyway, on the subject of you upside-down people, how would anyone feel about another Ride Her Haggard cup? For the newbs, it was a cup competition that lasted a month and took place over the weekends. Scotland vs Rest of the World ... I believe Rest of the World won it last time but Scotland might fancy their chances now that the top rated quizzer on this thread has retired. Anyone up for it / not up for it - say, in March?
