Ooh, tell us more....astronaut? Ninja? Stuntwoman? Oh.

just a bunch of fitba fans who despise arrogance and cheating

Was my girlfriend's birthday yesterday, made her breakfast in bed, gave her all her presents in the morning before we went to work, took her out for a nice meal, got home, told her she wasn't allowed in the living room (with the implication that I'd bought us a new TV that we've been looking at), lit a bunch of candles, told her to come through and proposed, to which she said yes. Yesterday was a good day. I am a very happy young man.

How can this be? Remember, we were an embarrassment because he was punted for not being good enough for being financially sensible. Safe to say, life after Starks hasn't been great for him. My sympathy is limited given his outburst.

What actually happened, was the case against fell to bits when it was pointed out to SPL law team, that the rules did not allow for retrospective action on improper player registration, outwith the current season. The players' registrations had to be challenged in the relevant season. In other words, although there was no doubt cheating had occurred, no action could be taken unless they were caught at the time of the offence. Therefor LNS had no option but to rule accordingly. Essentially, they got off with a wee slap due to a technicality. A bit like getting off with a criminal offence because the crucial evidence had been obtained outwith proper procedure. A fkg technicality. Everyone knows they were guilty as charged.

I think Juan was enough.

Just got an email inviting me to an interview for nursing bank (as a healthcare assistant) a week on Monday

You really need to calm down young sir, just go with the flow and remember that while everyones opinions are different, that doesn't make them lies.

Washing windows creates an electro-static charge that attracts dirt to the other side.

Indeed. These marches are absolutely driven by hatred and intolerance. The "Apprentice Boys of Derry" marching through Stirling, being a prime example.

What's worse? Being found to have broken the rules but effectively arguing that there is nothing in the rules to say that breaking the rules is against the rules. And therefore keeping your ill-gotten baubles, getting it directly and firmly up everybody else. At least for now. or Getting the appropriate punishment having the trinkets removed, a ceremonial de-bagging and a clean fresh start. Of course option a) sounds like the ticket but look where the shambles are now. By not having a catharsis the greed, arrogance and unjustified pride in permanently stained success remains. Which continues to be their undoing. When things have calmed down, years into the future. When pundits are comparing total victories: Celtic 93, The Rangers 94* there'll be that wee asterisk after the current currant total. Followed by the famous Aberdeen on 95 of course. That pause, the acknowledgment that for a period of just over 10 years, every goal, every victory, every kick of the ball was invalid, has been cheapened and sullied by the greatest shame every to he perpetrated to the Scottish game. On reflection, most reasonable folk wouldn't want want anything to do with these accomplishments. Or the thing, the institution, the club, the company, the holding company, team, shirt, badge or nest of unholy vipers that still cling to these empty and worthless 'achievements'. But then i'm not one of ra peepell and i wouldn't feel smug about a victory that has left you tarnished, broken, humiliated and rigorously pumped of all your money.

You seem angry?

You sad f**k

I think for us to be within any shout at all of getting Brian Graham back we'd need a change in manager at Dundee United. McNamara obviously fancies him (or at least, he did) and I doubt he'd be so easily prepared to cut his losses on one of his own signings so soon.

Just finished my final ever uni exam

"Should anyone here present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace".

You see Tedi i knew it would get this response. The handicapper was a Buddie and gave me three shots LESS than my official handicap but like Rangers i overcame this injustice to triumph.

Would be happy with that if it's McGurn, Watson, hill and anderson

He thinks he is funny and imagines us all spitting fury at our screens. It's kinda cute. Also if a lie is repeated enough times idiots start to believe it - it's possible he's going for that as well. ETA well done on the golf btw. Trying to teach the girlfriend at the moment - I have discovered I am not a teacher.

Welcome back tade

How can he when they're your white goods? You've got TFM!

The UTTT. Sorry Max, I value your opinion and all that, but I'll have to defer to the knight of the realm here, oldco Rangers used the EBT scheme to sign players they could otherwise not afford. Sorry here's the full quote from Andrew Thornhill, the lawyer representing the Murray Group, “Because the whole point of the remuneration trust was it enabled the club to take on players that it otherwise couldn’t afforded (sic) to pay if it had to pay the grossed up wage. “This was Sir David Murray’s way of putting it. It was a way of getting hold of players you otherwise couldn’t afford. “So the last thing the club would do is say to a player: now, if you don’t like having remuneration trust we will pay you gross instead. It just couldn’t afford to do it. It wasn’t an option.” They recruited players they otherwise couldn’t afford.

RTFM.

And if the Callahan government had not betrayed the people of Scotland in the 79 referendum there would have been no withdrawal and no motion of no confidence. Anyway, the Callahan government were already over 4 years into their term so an election would have been called that same year anyway and if you think Labour would have won ANY subsequent election then you're an idiot. Perhaps you should actually read up on the events for yourself rather than just unthinkingly parroting what you hear from other unionist non-thinkers.

Look mate, I mean no offence but I just don't know if I'm ready to have the maddest Celtic fan on the board, standing up for me.

Not necessarily. That the old club cheated is fact. That they gained no advantage is only his opinion.

I was just picking my son up from football training at Bevvy park and a dozen caravans just pitched up on the old rovers training ground at Southerton end....

I love how everyone, regardless of who they support, considers Maxsta to be a daft wee tosser. It's funny.

Don't be too impressed. Unlike SD, I never check. In fact, I regard looking things up as cheating. That however, is why I'm usually wrong.

Sorry, I disagree. First of all, I think the situation with Rangers, is in this country, unprecedented and so comparison with how other clubs' support may feel at times is not appropriate. Let's be honest, how do we get to be fans of a particular club? I would think mainly through family and peer influence, right? I was taken to my first game by my father, at 9yrs old he wouldn't allow me to go to matches on my own or with same age pals, so, as he was a Rangers fan that's who I was going to see. Most of the other kids at my school were also Rangers fans and probably for the same reason as myself. So how many of us actually made a choice that we can honestly say was our choice? I actually had a workmate who was brought up as a Celtic fan - and he really was full on btw - who moved to Perth around 2 yrs ago and I met him about 6x months later at a Rangers v St Johnstone game. He had become a Perth Saint Now as adults, we have all made what we find to be, poor choices and wrong decisions and we try to rectify these, so why should a choice we made at 9yrs old or younger and wasn't even actually our choice in the first place, be stuck with us for life when it is changeable. I must stress the decision has not been easy but the last 2x years have been awful and the continued focus on 'off-field' issues is just too much. My father passed 3 yrs ago and so, thankfully missed it all. I'm no longer a kid and don't feel the need to be tied to decisions, that were made - on my behalf - when I was. There's also 'stuff' that goes with being a supporter of either of the OF, that we should all grow out of too. It's been said to me, that it can be similar with Hearts and Hibs but I've certainly not seen this with my girlfriends's family who seem to mix with Hibs fans socially. They are of course, currently all ripping the piss out me but it's good natured banter and that's cool. Some of the Rangers fans on here are daft weans and some of the others just help me justify my decision really. They're the true cretins. I'm cool with it all.

So me being totally hacked off and disillusioned with all the pish at Rangers, I decide to say enough's enough and give my support to a team, which will actually be my local team by the time that they play their next game, makes me a pathetic cretin. Whereas you are? Aye you just go off and spend your season ticket money, glory hunting over 200mls away. All this pish that you can never change allegiance from one football club to another, kind of flies in the face of the ''support your local team, don't be a glory hunter'' ethos. I gave plenty to Rangers but the wool has been lifted from my eyes and I'm moving on. I love football and I'm not turning my back on my club ''because the going got tough'' or ''the club's going through a sticky patch''. It's a complete basket case and I found it more and more embarrassing trying to defend it. Sure the owners, past and present have been responsible for a lot of it but there have been other major contributions. Stand up and take a bow, the legend that is - Super Ally. What an absolute prat of a man and a total liability as a manager. Where the club is today and where it has been for the last 2x seasons, has plenty to do with his ineptitude and yet he is still revered by the masses. His pronouncements to the press and rallying calls to the support, are almost always a cringe fest. Which brings us to:- The support, with all it's various factions and spokespersons, even those represented on here - including to my shame, me - have been quite ridiculous in their/our sabre-rattling arrogance. Like I said, changing clubs, a big decision certainly but pathetic and cretinous? I don't think so. If we're treated badly by our employer, we change jobs, if our marriage/relationship has broken down, we divorce/move on. Rangers just doesn't work for me anymore. Maybe I've just grown up.

What are you talking about? I fucking love bitches!

Aer Lingus was originally called Cunni Lingus until the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) told them to stop being "so fucking immature".

Thanks for the advice guys but it was kinda futile anyway, as we finally got this wee minx home today after 4 grueling weeks, from this, to this in 4 weeks and 1 day, couldn't be happier

By voting No, you are voting to maintain the set up as it exists at present and confirming that you are indeed happy with how things currently are. I know this greatly upsets you, but that's the truth of it.

There are amoeba on Saturn who contribute more to this thread than you, tbf.

Aokigahara Forest Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around. What Niagara Falls is to weddings, Aokigahara is to suicide. How many suicides does it takes for a place to get that reputation? A dozen? Fifty? More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. After that-always eager to prove they are bizarrely susceptible to suggestion-hundreds of Japanese people have hanged themselves among the countless trees of the Aokigahara forest, which is reportedly so thick that even in high noon it's not hard to find places completely surrounded by darkness. Also skulls. Besides bodies and homemade nooses, the area is littered with signs displaying such uplifting messages like "Life is a precious thing! Please reconsider!" or "Think of your family!" "If you commit suicide here, bears will poop on your corpse." In the 70s, the problem got national attention and the Japanese government began doing annual sweeps of the forest in search of bodies. In 2002, they found 78. But who knows how many they missed? In all likelihood there probably is a hanged person somewhere in Aokigahara on any given day. You can see some of them here. WARNING, NSFS (Not Safe For Soul). By the way, if an entire dark forest full of hanged corpses wasn't bad enough, a few years ago some people noticed that a lot of the dead in Aokigahara probably had cash or jewelry on them. Thus began the proud Japanese tradition of Aokigahara Scavenging where people are running around the Death Forest, looking for dead guys to loot.
