No idea why the big ‘G4S’ branded tarpaulin needs to be so big, but the other one isn’t segregation, it’s just Aberdeen fans running up the white flag.

f**k Rangers.

Yes that me as @Eednud said, went on to break the record of consecutive appearances for the Loons to this day. Captained them for more than 5 years during a very successful period. A solid left back if there ever be, probably be playing in the Premiership on todays standard. There is a program that I do have (in my sister loft) of him on the front cover, flying into a tackle. AND, if you look close, you will see his tadger in full site. Nobody notice obviously before published, but was all known by the full time whistle. He suffered a cardiac arrest last year shovelling snow on the front path of his house (a fit man, no drink or smoke) at the age of 60. He had a quadruple heart bypass operation (as I posted on this very thread, with photos of him during his career), he never woke up and was in a coma for over 1 month (which I never posted about). During covid time, the hospital let my sister stay with him (git c***s) as they thought it was over... He is in recovery, not full, but can kick a ball in the back garden with his grandkids, and he has a smile on his face. I met him when I was 10 years old and watched many of his games, why I'm a Forfar fan. That man is my hero!

@Jacksgranda Please add one grandchild for me. Born at 6.30 this morning, weighing in at 9 lbs (my step daughter is tiny, 4 foot 11).

10 for Wednesday

My dad passed away between Christmas and New Year overseas. Whisky was always something we shared (along with football, pubs etc, he was the man's man), with him convincing me to try again after a bad teen experience. Having recently arrived back with things over there in order, I picked a couple of particularly meaningful bottles to bring home, that I'd gotten him years ago and he had been saving for me visit before opening. One or t'other will be cracked on his birthday later this year to salute him, I'm sure a few of my pals will join in the endeavour. Gutted I didn't get the chance to try them with him though.

Glasgow Rangers, "Billy" Kirkwood, and all their bigot fans can smoke my Falkirk Wang.

10 for Wednesday, looking up this week…redefining a yo-yo team!

Government bonds, diverting money from nuclear bombs and submarines, useless aircraft carriers, Crossrail and HS2 type projects that only really serve London, a monetary policy to suit the Scottish economy rather than the South East of England, there's a long list.

Not sure anyone would shite it against any twats who call it "soccer" m8.

@Shannon @Shanner @Darvel legend @happy @coolerking83 @coineanach @Bcassells @passbackdave @Fredeye @Broomhill Ultra @beith19 @Kenny*******Powers @funky monkey @93glens17 @Spyro @dagane Right, the trial didn't work. Thanks to those who posted but I did only post the fixtures on Monday morning and put a parameter of 14 required to post, only 13 of us did. The postponements and the fact that no-one correctly predicted a score makes it easier to just scrub this round. However... As this whole thing was a way to garner more interest and posting in this section of the forum, I think we should predict on midweek games where available so I propose the following formula. I will post on a Thursday with the midweek games (Tuesday or Wednesday) for the following week and again on Monday with the Saturday games. As most people will log in at the weekend, that will give ample opportunity to predict. Basically, the fixtures will go up and be counted regardless of how many make predictions. Obviously, the weather will be a factor at this time of year but it's worth a punt. The postponed matches from this week have been rearranged for next, so I'll make a new thread for that now. Thanks guys.

Super Sexy 10 for Wednesday

Can anybody explain what the deal is with this shit? This was from last nights Hearts vs Aberdeen match. Is it just me who think that this is an utterly ridiculous amount of segregation? The white square is particularly bad - it just looks awful. The columns down the left, there's no need for 3 of them. One would suffice along with extra stewarding if necessary. There's a good few hundred seats covered up that both Hearts and Aberdeen fans could have used. Who is making these decisions to install so much needless segregation, is it the club or the police? It never used to be this bad, you only need to look at highlights from a few years ago to see that this didn't happen. St. Johnstone are guilty of it as well, we also cover up a block of seats nearest to the away end - something that never used to happen. It's a ridiculous carry on. This isn't Leeds vs Millwall - it's St. Johnstone vs Motherwell, mate. In England you don't get segregation like this, even between supporters who bitterly hate each other. As a fan of Scottish football, this stuff pisses me off. We should be trying to cram as many folk in as possibly to games like this, promoting the game and making it a noisy spectacle. More fans = better for the atmosphere. Covering up seats like this and trying to keep opposition fans apart also takes a bit of sting out the atmosphere. It would appear the authorities are hell bent on making attending football matches as miserable and boring experience as possible, whether it be the alcohol ban, overzealous stewarding and policing or stupid shit like this. Please share any examples of stupid segregation you have come across.

Not being funny like, but if we all get our shit together in the next 6.5 years and become millionaires, we could - as a P&B Hibernian Supporters Collective - purchase Hibs. And then… well, then the world’s our oyster. We all ok with @Hoose Rice as manager?

SEETHING's patter is PATHETIC.

I am pretty sure he just made history by being the first person to come back from two sets down eleven times.

I've actually got a banning prediction league with several other top tier posters. If you haven't been invited it's because someone has you on their list.

Wait, so not only did they allow them into 3 stands they got permission to do a fucking tifo?

I need segregated from you, especially when you come out with pish like this.

It's taken a few days, but to get a bite, patience is key.

Sound of Music?

We're shite so the league is shite is a very hibs thing. Sweet that other teams are adopting their stance.

Eh, this is only happening because the fans boycotted and forced the old board (who said they didn’t want this money) to resign. But aye, sound.

The fact that Craig McGuffie will be inevitably be making a return to a starting berth on the wing has me spitting with fury.

Really sorry to hear, I know there might be more important things to think about but I am sure the club have a fund to help people getting tickets for games if it's not something they can afford. I donated to this fund when I bought my season ticket so I know it exists and think it's still in action. If it's something you look forward to and would like to attend maybe worth sending an email?

Reserving judgement until he puts the famous dark blue on. A lot of Dundee fans obsessing over stats would do well to do the same. * *I hold the right to call him shite and reference previous club stats should he be subsequently dug meat.

I hope we sign someone today so we can temporarily talk about football.

Wrong site to try and find a flight Jim.

The more they need to state how the things their team has are big, the more likely it is that the things they have are small.

Ach, we all see it through the prism of our team. And Aberdeen have been shite at the back all season, so they're probably fed up with it. One thing I've noticed already is Aberdeen (and Hibs) fans giving it the 'this league is so shite' chat. We get this whenever Hearts are better than their teams, as if McInnes' Aberdeen were finishing above Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league in his time there. The reality, of course, is that Aberdeen's recent high league placings were built on a foundation of having a couple of years to play against genuinely f**k all in probably the weakest top-flight in memory with all but one of the other clubs that get five-figure crowds in genuine crisis, giving them the stability and cash to develop and build a solid side that set them up for a few years. That's history now, we've passed them by and I think it's slowly dawning on them. I expect the next Aberdeen manager to suffer from failing to keep up with us too before the penny fully drops. But fitba fans always see it through the prism of their own side. Expect a lot of 'this is the worst league ever' chat in the next few months as we cruise home.

A fixture even Danny Dyer wouldnt attend. ^^^runner.

My Wednesday score was 10/10, 8 was what I knew. My Thursday score is 8/10 though. Film speak and basketball.

I'm sure I've previously seen reports of protests alleging the ref was inebriated. Protests were rife. This from the previous month: Knobs in Football - Alloa Athletic to probe Dunfermline Athletic Alloa Athletic protested against the Dunfermline Athletic, as one of the latter club's players had knobs on his boots, and as the player refused to take the boots off when requested. They also protested on the grounds of rough play. Mr Mackay, of Northern, moved that the protest be dismissed, as the allegations had not been proved. The ten shillings were forfeited. Mr C Campbell, of the Queen's Park, said it was very hard on players to be deprived of the use of their knobs. He certainly objected to English knobs, which were of the kind of spikes covered with leather, as these knobs were very liable to do serious injury.

The myth that an astroturf is an "all weather surface" doesn't help things in terms of fan perception. There is no such thing. I'm by no means an expert, nor do I know what weather Livingston had but if there was wet stuff on the pitch. The wet stuff will freeze if it's cold enough on the pitch. Still not ideal for travelling fans etc though!

Could you not have also managed a little bit of us living in the 80s as well?

I suppose reporters like Nick Robinson (Tory tube anyway) have to ask Union leaders awkward questions "on behalf of the public" but I always feel there's a right wing bias there Mick Lynch was asked this morning "why can't your members just do a little bit of overtime to keep the trains running". To which my reply would be if you're trying to run a service based on overtime then you might have a staffing issue, and then "even the trains in Ukraine are more punctual than the British ones" (to which my reply would be they're nationalised, haven't undergone a stupid and ludicrous fragmentation in the name of privatisation and maybe we should get some Ukrainians in to run the railways)
