Just found out I've got a job after seven months out of work. Really chuffed! :-)

And sevco are most definitely foundering..

http://www.sneps.net/OO/images/1-The Orange Order in Scotland since 1860.pdf Page 4 when the membership of the OO peaked, page 29 for Pope visit, 1982. Seriously if you don't think the membership increased because of this visit then you're being naive. http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/hstrike/summary.htm Again if you don't accept that support for Irish Republicanism increased in Scotland due to the hunger strikes then you're being naive. The hunger strikes ensured that Irish Republican movements had their active and tacit support increased. There are many articles to support that.

so if you did not know a date was mentioned why were you so sure it took place in parkhead a few months beforehand?

I love it when Rangers and Celtic fans stick up for each other and their traditions. Always nice to be reminded that they're two cheeks of the same arse.

Love - Alone Again Or

Never mind the fitba, keep guarding them walls.

No, the signs actually read 'Chateau du Lait' - makes all these furriners think it's dead posh.

I ride Lorraine Kelly at least once a week, if not more.

Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music

I've only ever managed anything similar to that on one occasion. During the Marine A case I responded to some EDL lass who was saying he should be considered a hero. Went to bed and woke up to 40 notifications of utter right wing seethe.

Moody Blues - Go Now

We were talking about our favourite MILFs on a work night out a few years ago, one of the guys said Lorraine Kelly was his. Few months later it came up in conversation again, and he was a bit evasive. We finally got it out of him that out one of his pals had met his old dear for the first time shortly after the works do, and the first thing out his mouth when she left the room was: "Wow, your mum looks exactly like Lorraine Kelly..."

To be perfectly honest, I just don't really like people all that much.

Folk that moan about people who moan about people who post on here listing their reasons for disliking someone on a thread that says "People You Dislike For No Reason". c***s. Erm, I mean uh, I can't think why I don't like those people.

Lana is fucking tremendous. Utterly tremendous.

Hyde FC were the worst team ever in the Conference last year but their Twitter account was the best of any football team as they took the piss out of themselves even when they got pumped every week.

Fleetwood Mac : Green Manalishi

Time Machine FC.

Lee McCulloch is an official founder member of Rangers? That makes sense he was there at the start.

Anyone using any sectarian insult is a dick. My point is that without knowing anything about their background you wanted the actions of these people to be used as a condemnation of Hibs football club, you don't even know if they were Hibs supporters. And you are trying to paint me in a dark light?

He's not suggesting for a moment that it does. He's quite explicit in not doing so. He's saying that the existence of the OF clubs has enabled such regrettable instances to occur. Why do people keep wishing to argue with others about things they've not said?

With all the arguing over what is and isn't sectarian... The McPherson Report , commissioned in the wake of Stephen Lawrence's killing, defined a racist incident as one which constituted words, behaviour or actions perceived by the victim, or a third party, to be racist. Applying the same logic to the Arse Cheeks' "traditional" behaviour, the question really is, why continue to behave in this manner when you clearly know your behaviour is unacceptable to the majority of society? Deflection from both sides has been the order for the last couple of days. I see it as a simple fact that, without these two convenient beacons, the sectarian issue in Scotland would have died out in any significant numbers decades ago. How often do you hear the "I'm just a football fan" shite from supporters born miles away from Glasgow? Glory Hunters? Why don't they (later generations at least) follow Man United or Barcelona, then? At least they're competing for the big prizes, and they're as relevant to "just a football fan" from Inverness or Gretna - or Belfast, or wherever else they come from to get on the ferries.

"..hold on, is it that time already?..."

I'm presuming Baldy McBald and Lanky McLank haven't been asked back, so it's all meaningless. I just wish God would give names to all the animals, so to speak.

Of course not but because your club has/had for years marketed itself as a Protestant club it unfortunately makes its supporters an easy target and makes bigotry more widespread. Same goes for wearing Celtic colours. Without the Old Firm we wouldn't have widespread bigotry like this.

For me the songs are a wee bit different. In my opinion reffering to Arab blood is an example of football rivalry and nothing more. I doubt there used to be a gang of Dundee fans that went out looking for United fans to kill. The Billy Boys is obviously much more sinister but you know this.

Where does the olive part come in? I get the beef but not the olive. I like olives, and I like beef, but I can't help but feel I've been lied to.

Apart from use the division that already existed for marketing purposes. Both clubs exploited sectarianism to the max. They didn't cause the problem but they have helped fuel the fire for many years.

How fucking weak willed do you have to be to let the support of a football club direct your social and political views? I'd hate to have no mind of my own.

And that'll be why nobody is "blaming" them for its historical origins and development. If however, you wish to claim that there's no link between the issue in its current form and the associations of our two biggest football clubs, then please press on. Be warned however, that doing so will make you look ridiculous.

My problem is a centuries old problem is being blamed on a club that is only 2 years old

The Skids - Into The Valley

and how he had to find sanctuary in Yorkshire (land of the free)....

I had a dream I had to carry Aaron Muirhead over a long and unstable wooden bridge with a huge drop into water underneath. With him on my back I hopped across the bridge and when I completed the crossing he gave me high fives and grabbed me in a headlock for the banter. Aaro's my boi.

John Bishop. Utter, utter bell end.

The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

People on this forum spelling 'Kopparberg' as 'Koppaberg'. It's very petty, but it reminds me of daft teenage girls or Londoners mispronouncing words (e.g. proper as proppa/pwopa (nawty)).

Elizabeth Windsor has never been the Queen of England. The last person to hold such a position was Queen Anne of England, who on the coming into force by Parliamentary ratification of the Treaty entered into by her and Anne, Queen of Scots, ceased to be either of those and became by the fact of that Treaty, Anne, Queen of Great Britain.

You could maybe find a forum somewhere on the Internet for that, then. This is a football forum (or "fitba", as some of your fellow fans call it). As for "this country" including Yorkshire, the Tykes still need a Salmond Tribute Act before they even get a referendum. You could pick whichever period you want - as you're no doubt aware, religious intolerance is not the sole preserve of the various Protestant sects. ETA: The last line above kind of explains why a lot of people capable of independent thought avoid organised religions - of all stripes.

Think I speak for most non-OF posters when I say we will never understand the 'bigotry/sectarianism/hatred' element. Our rival is St Mirren & I don't hate them. (Even when bricks get launched at Cartsdyke) It's a natural rivalry. Without coming across as self righteous, I respect them Sadly we don't play them as often anymore. But I'd rather have a pint with the Paisley Buddies than a bitter OF fan anyday.

Aw Jesus. Are you both now seriously claiming that lodge membership etc would be greater, were it not for the existence of Rangers? Don't be ridiculous. Members of such bodies would be viewed far more widely as the sad inadequates they are, were it not for the existence of a football club which lends such bonkerdom a perceived legitimacy.

7/10. Better than expected there. Luckily I name off the US Presidents in my head when I'm on the job to stave off my arrival at the Billy Mill roundabout.

Is that right aye?

So, she goes to a hen night. There are penis shaped whistles on the table, they have a naked butler they all get selfies with and presumably they've dirty danced all over the shop. I shag ONE FILTHY PROSTITUTE, and somehow 'our marriage is in trouble'. Fucking sick of women and their double standards.

He's in tears over a dot lol Is that your way of challenging me to fisticuffs? (lol)

I would imagine they would celebrate any " victories" against the west? Do you recall the whistling and cheers during and after 911? Check the video's and get back to me.

COME ON EVERYBODY WHO PLAYS THE NEWCUNTO F.C. IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
