I genuinely hate this culture of feigning offence simply to try and get somebody in trouble. Cowardly, playground mentality. Basically what I'm saying is: f**k Off And Die, Sevco Franchise.

So what will the reaction be if/when Falkirk fans start chanting "You're not Rangers anymore?" when they play, with several tear-stained complaints directed at Falkirk from Sevco fans after the game? Will the chairman put another grovelling apology on the club website? "It has been brought to our attention that our fans were making some inappropriate comments about Rangers during our cup game. We have already apologised to Rangers FC and would now like to apologise to the many Rangers supporters who have been in contact with the club. Falkirk FC are treating this incident very seriously and we will be handing out banning orders to all supporters involved in the singing, pending a full investigation by the club. Martin Richie Chairman"

I'm fairly sure our stadium announcer made similar jokes at half-time recently - it may even have been the Falkirk game! You have my sympathies, it's light-hearted banter and nothing more. I hope Thistle decide to troll the fuckers and they are referred to as Sevco/Newco at the half-time scores forever more. In fact, going one further, I hope the next time we play them we really rub their noses in shit with the Sevco references in the programmes, on the club website etc. It's a minor thing, but if it causes even a few of the more fucktarded supporters to choke on their big macs in mock righteous indignation then its worth it. A farcical decision.

It's seems only fair that the tradition of pishing ourselves laughing at Liverpool's ineptitude should crack on this season. 0-3 down to a West Brom side that have also missed a penalty. How long do we give the Manager before KKKenny is called back in to "save the day" with another tedious mid table finish?

Hi Falkirk Shop, Put a hold on that sale. If you see the Chairman tell him it's his fault.

I aint got no beef with Rangers going tits up - I just think it's funny that one of the playground bullies got a smack on the nose and is now sobbing away in the corner telling everyone they'd better watch out once he gets back onto his feet. I'm enjoying a good point and laugh at his torn face though and all the additional petulant outbursts are just making it all the sweeter ! Having said that I'm well aware that yon big fat bully will get back on his feet and once again he'll nick everyone's sweets and dinner money !! FWIW - cause it's not all about The Rangers - What has got on my tits about this 'saga' though was the vote to get The Rangers into the SPL, the shenanigans and lies intended to scare the SFL chairmen (some of whom cracked ) into admitting them into the First and then the wee waltz that The Rangers enjoyed right into the Third without any other applicants being considered. Add to that the 'Pravda' style reporting and you've got a whole raft of fandans, most of whom were unattached to 'Rangers' who deserve to be ridiculed !

That is an absolute disgrace. Firstly, there is nothing remotely offensive about what he said. Some of the Rangers fans, who weren't even there, may not appreciate the humour but tough on them. Are these the same people who would buy a Frankie Boyle DVD and then complain about it being offensive. Secondly have any of these mortally offended sensitive wee souls ever been on the blower to their beloved club or e-mailed their chairman to complain about the songs and chants that come from their fellow supporters. Nah, though not, so its selective then this being offended by words. Also, on what grounds has the guy even been suspended, as I find it hard to believe there is anything in a contract which suggests he is not allowed to show a sense of humour. Hope he gets a decent employment lawyer to take the club to the cleaners. There is quite clearly no place for enjoyment in football any more. Fans can't stand without a little Hitler telling them to sit down. They can't shout because it upsets other people. Mascots are being complained about for standing in front of visiting fans with bars of soap or driving cardboard box tanks and now stadium announcers can't call a company by the name with which they registered at Companies house. No wonder the game is dying on its arse. And finally I hope that the wee cliping whingeing bastards who complained get their comeuppance soon. Karma man.

Cleaning out cupboards recently and came across a box full of old Raith videos, it's mainly stuff that either myself or one of my older brothers had recorded from Scotsport/Football First back when the first division highlights were shown on TV on a Sunday morning. I've decided to convert them to digital form in order to preserve the footage long term, and I'll be sticking some of the more memorable games on YouTube so they can be enjoyed by others as well. I'll post a link in here every time I upload a new video, first up is: From the same season I'll also be uploading our late win away to Hamilton which kept us in the first division, and maybe a couple more. The following season saw us challenge for promotion under Peter Hetherston and there are lots of good games. Hopefully brings back a few memories for people.

They all deserve to lose their jobs, each and every one of them. Yeh, I know. People of earn a living from the exploitation of sectarianism aren't.

In Laymans terms, You and Hansen are slavering c***s. Hope this clarifies.

Aye. Taking it too far is just criminal:

Oh f**k right off. It was a wee bloke on a tannoy - it wasn't the Arab/Israeli war. I remember when we could take a joke and used to point and laugh at The Sensitive Ones for being so precious. Just grow a pair, eh?

Fuxake, Bennet - I'm agreeing with you too often these days. Can't we have a row about something? Anyway, I came to apologise for the wee, sensitive souls in our fan base who were offended by a little quip made at a game where we weren't even participating. Shame on our fans for being so paranoid and shame on the Falkirk chairman for issuing a public apology. He'd have been better saying something like, "It was meant as a humorous remark. Get over it." I really hope "The Tannoy 1" isn't going to get his jotters. If he does I'd happily chuck in a tenner to help with his loss of earning.

Daughter number two arrived on Friday night. A quick arrival, we got to hospital at half 9 and she was born at half 10. Home now and having a nice long sleep.

It was pretty standard Suarez really, great wee player to watch but has the finishing skills of Ade Akinbiyi.

That Falkirk game was probably one of the Rovers worst ever performances but most satisfying wins. Alex Totten was always bleating about how his teams were always hard done by and this was the only game I ever saw which that was true. A real GIRUY moment.

What's the chances of everyone at the club showing solidarity with The Fakirk 1, leaving Ritchie to man the mic?

People who earn a living from the exploitation of sectarianism deserve to lose their jobs.

Whoever has the PA duties tomorrow night should only refer to the Sevco franchise as "our opponents" and make no mention of any of their names whatsoever.

Just a few, short seasons ago, Liverpool's starting midfield was Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano (now of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively), with Premier League Player of the Year Steven Gerrard ahead of them supporting Fernando Torres, who at that time was arguably the most potent striker in the Premier League. And they had a double Champions League winning manager in charge of them. Skip forward a few seasons and their midfielders are Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, Jonjo Shelvey and Charlie Adam, with occasional cameos from an injury prone Steven Gerrard, who's been living off of past glories for about 3 years now, with Andy Carroll up front and a relative rookie in charge, Rodgers only having managed small clubs previously and only getting his first managerial post in 2008. Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Enrique, Suarez, Borini and Lucas is a decent spine of a team, but only if they can add half a dozen players of real quality to complement them, and even then they'd have zero strength in depth and would have to fall back on the likes of Carragher and Downing. Players like Adam, Downing, Shelvey, Spearing, Henderson, Carragher (nowadays), Cole, Carroll, Kelly, Brad Jones (I put his first name in as noone would know who I meant otherwise, he's that famous) et al will not get them anywhere near the level that they aspire to and that their fans demand. A look at the following link illustrates perfectly the position that Liverpool are in: http://www.liverpool...team/first-team There are very few quality players amongst that lot, and precious few experienced players to call upon when they need to freshen things up. That's not to say that guys like Charlie Adam and the rest aren't talented, I happen to like Charlie Adam as a player, but they're not the calibre of player that renowned teams with a famous name turn to to lead them to trophies. Until Liverpool can or will have a complete sweep of their playing staff and build a new squad from the ground up then they will simply continue to plod along and fall further and further behind the Man United's, Man City's, Arsenal's and Chelsea's of this world.

Of course it`s lies. The only possible penalty could have been for `bringing the game into disrepute`. How could this announcement possibly come under that? The Falkirk Chairman really is an apologist and an apology is`nt he?

Does anyone seriously think the SFA would've fined Falkirk over this ? Really? Stadium announcers regularly make light-hearted fun of things: it's part of the remit, tbh. It really does astonish me that a club like Falkirk is so eager to please Rangers supporters (for an easy E-mail inbox and to supposedly safeguard gate income) that they bullet a volunteer official over it. EDIT: And an apology too.

I think a "Ritchie, Get tae.." chant is imminent for the Sevco game.

I don't know what's more pathetic in all honesty... Rangers fans, for complaining about him, or Falkirk for actually siding with Rangers fans who complained about him by suspending him. It's as bad as the folk who wanted Sammy the Tammy sacked or charged, frankly.

That was Rangers, wasn't it?

My weans are away with their mother this week so I've watched a few films online. Two worth mentioning.: A French film called "Leaving" or, actually, 'Partir' in French. In truth it's pretty dull, slow and predictable. Posh woman leaves her wealthy surgeon-husband to get rode rotten by a much younger Spanish builder. It is saved by having many scenes of the delightful 50 year old Kristin Scott Thomas in the skud. Visual viagra for those of us in our 6th decade who have a penchant for skinny, neurotic women with wee tits. 1/10 mostly but 7/10 for KST's very suckable nipples. I also watched Pulp Fiction for the first time in more than a decade. Is it OK to rate it 1,690/10? One critic said, "I'm not sure I've ever encountered a film-maker who combined discipline and control with sheer wild-ass joy the way that Tarantino does." Samuel L Jackson must be one of the coolest blokes to walk the face of God's earth and the, "I Shot Marvin in the Face" moment is the only time in history that you're allowed to laugh at someone, well, being shot in the face.

It's a shame they can't post just the bikini shots. Would save a lot of scrolling through the rest of the pics.

What a Joke. How can anyone involved in any way, shape or form, nevermind a club chairman, "APOLOGISE" to these scum. Like seriously, an apology?? The stadium announcer made a light hearted joke about the team that refers to itself as the now liquidated Rangers Football Club. This was the same joke the stadium announcer at Firhill used on several occasions the week before. Whether you think it's childish or irrelevant or my personal view, funny ... IT DOES NOT REQUIRE AN APOLOGY. Martin Ritchie has embarassed our fans today. I work in Glasgow where 80% of the office are support 'The Rangers' and before tomorrows game, I have actually been enjoying the banter .. mainly because I can see through their deluded pompous pish this time, and see that they actually think they could lose. But this statement today, has given them an extra feeling of importance where they are saying things like, "You're chairmans right to apologise, the stupit shouldnae be callin us that!" Then I hit back with the usual, Facts... You are Sevco but..... to which the response is, again the usual... "Naw we're no, WE ARE RA PEEEPO!" The Hatred I feel towards Rangers is the only thing that comes close to the embarassment I feel about Martin Ritchie's statement. Truely embarassing. Oh and as Kevin Keegan once said, "I'D LOOOOVE IT IF WE BEAT THEM. LOVE IT"<BR clear=all>

The latest trend appears to be putting a screengrab of the weather forecast for your holiday destination, tagging your fellow travellers in it, and proclaiming how many days it is until you go. This, naturally, is followed up with the pint pic from the airport wetherspoons, then, upon return, a massive album from the holiday, which must contain a picture of out the window, in the air, of one of the plane's engines. f**k off.

FFC suspend Tannoy Man for Sevco comments So what, Martin Ritchie Sevco appologist, he's just made it official now. It's a defo only the 4 Pars games for me this season. I just don't care anymore. He'd better hope the Sevco fans spend a shedload, before they go bust again. As I've a lifetime of cash to spend elsewhere. They've got a great record at tribunals, I can't wait for this one.

I was watching a bit of Alan Partridge the other night, I'm always infinitely tickled by this: “That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they ‘Paved paradise to put up a parking lot’, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.”

my 'Ignore' list has grown significantly after those last 5 pages.

Maybe realise you deserve all the shit thrown at you and beg Scottish football for forgiveness????????????

Last season you racked up i believe £14M in unpaid tax (apologies if figure isn't accurate) and if you had paid this tax you would have gone into administration far sooner than you did. Now if you had gone into administration far sooner you would have sold prize assets in the January window and most likely wouldn't have finished 2nd. In all honesty, if you had of sold players like you should have you would have struggled to stay in the top 6. Rangers financial cheating last season was orchestrated on a huge scale that's went massively overlooked. I'd of loved it if Whyte hadn't been there pulling the strings. RFC would've went into administration probably around October still owing Lloyds among other £17M and i bet D&P would not have been appointed. With a more professional administrator, high earners with no value like McCulloch would've been bye bye and assets like Naismith, McGregor and Davies sold in the January window. Do you now see how RFC cheated last season? You don't deserve a penny for finishing 2nd.

^^^canny throw a bottle of ginger

Ok you've proved your point You are a boring tedious dick .

Still Game was excellent.

It wasn't really

Fixture: Sauchie Juniors 2-1 Camelon Juniors Competition: Dechmont Forklift South League Cup Group A Date: Saturday 18th August 2012 Goal Scorers: Purdie, King

I love reading Red and White Kop. They're so much like Celtic supporters.

Well the wean's been home for a few nights now, and she's a wee gem. She gets up two or three times a night for a wee feed and a change. I'm having to do it all as it takes my wife too long to get out of bed because of her stitches, but I don't mind. She's great

I'm 36 now, so when the whole oasis thing kicked off, i was 18 years old, hitting the pubs and going to gigs. they created a scene built around being young and wearing smart clothes. my neighbour works in musical instrument distribuition, and whilst he's not an oasis fan, he and every guitar store around Britain acknowledge if it wasn't for them and the scene they created, a lot of guitar shops would have went out of business. Put it this way, how many people in Britain play a double cut away Epiphone in a band these days... ask yourself why. as for the music, i tend to split their albums up... like i do with the stones and their rhythm guitarists, i look at oasis and their drummers... and the alan white era wins it for me. when you look at how DM came onto the music scene, nothing was going to touch that, it was fresh, rough and anyone could play it. Noel has said himself that he changed his songwriting for WTSMG as he had to write more ballads, as ballads are where the money is, if you get in with the geeks and saddo's you make yer money... and he did. BHN is a mostorous album, riddled with multiple layered tracks, because they had the money, and the charlie, to do it.... when you strip it away, there is a great mix of DM and WTSMG on it. SOTSG, they are starting to tire, but there are some belters on there, and by this point they had nailed it as a live band. Gas Panic through to Roll It Over are belters, every one of them. When you look at the fact that this album had no Guigsy or Bonehead album, you need to have some admiration for them. probably due to that tho', the keyboard really starts to take prominence in the music, and ultimately, they never moved on from that. HC: if it wasn't for Little by Little, i really wouldn't fuss with this album, you've probably heard all the songs somewhere before, by this point. I've just looked at the track listing for DBTT and theres actually some great songs spread right through the album, but by this point in my life, i had switched off from their music. When DOYS came out, i really couldn't have cared less, i had heard a couple of tracks but really didn't like it, or want to spend any time liking it. then a few weeks back i was in a discount book store in the Paisley Centre and they had it for £1, so i thought, why not... turns out its actually a really great album and would probably still be getting played if i hadn't just bought the Teenage Fanclub back catalogue. as for beedy eye? they can Foff, i have no interest in hearing them, watching them or having an opinion on them, other than, from the bits i've heard, are absolutely fckin sh!te. NG's HFB's? got the album and love it, think it's got some great songs on it and he has built a great band around him, if this had been the 3/4 of the next Oasis album, it probably would not have got the credit it deserved, but NG has relaunched himself and has done a good job of it. and for reference? Ocean Colour Scene wipe the floor with Oasis. one of the best bands britain has produced both musically and lyrically in the last 20 years. You probably won't see a better live band just now, either.

Cats. Hammers

I've hidden most Sevco fans now. Their shite is unbearable. The Ian Black fiasco last night was a lot of their final straws with me.

See these folk who put up a photo of a soldier cuddling their child and the caption: 'Like this if you want to see them reunited', and it literally gets tens of thousands of likes.... that rips my fucking knitting. 1. It's his job, no-one drafted him or forced him out to whatever country he is serving in under duress, he's paid for it and well thought of. 2. If he wasn't there he'd be away from his child at another army base within the US anyway. 3. Why like it? How will you ever fucking know if they'll ever be reunited or when? You don't know who he is, where the photo was taken, when it was taken and the context of the picture. Stop clogging up my inbox with shite like this and photos preaching to me about how beautiful a deformed child is. I. Don't. Fucking. Want. To. Like. Any. Of. This. Shite!!!!!

A Pakistani lassie who regularly posts utter shite just put up the status "I'd be ruubish at trying to lose weight everytime am back from the gym or do any form of exercise I'm starving after it and have a proper feast!!" Not the worst status in the world but one of my pals replied with "Just kid on its Ramadan." Shit is going down.

Beat me to it. This thread must be bumped on every 19th day, of every month, of every year, until the end of time.
