You're on Pie & Bovril within sixty minutes of the full time whistle telling us how great it is, I think we can read between the lines.

Again, if twenty Hamilton Accies fans try to stand up at Inverness, they're harassed by Police Scotland to within an inch of their life. A full end of Rangers fans sing a sectarian song through a minute's applause for a Hibs chairman and f**k all will happen / even be acknowledged.

Deep down utterly meaningless to Celtic fans as well, all they care about is stopping Rangers fans from enjoying this ultimately hollow feeling. Vice versa.

A gathering of bigots.

There is, and today provided a huge amount of evidence as if more was needed, absolutely not one fucking shred of doubt that Scottish Football would be a country mile better off without these two "clubs" and their "fans".

Aye and get it right round Rangers too.

In 6 months time she’ll be right

Just read back to the stuff about the minutes applause for the Hibs chair and the Hunfans' response. What an utter, utter class vacuum they occupy. No wonder they howled when their manager showed a shred of decency.

Yesterday may not have been great but if you'd have said to me afore St Mirren, "yer getting 7 out of next 9" I'd have laughed my head off. Reset and prepare for Ross County now. Let's go at them.

Get it right up every single person associated with that disgusting club

Got to feel for Rangers fans here. The nearest subway station is miles away.

It appears you think a fan paying less will have different interests than a fan who pays more. I would have thought both would have only one interest, which is for Falkirk FC to be successful. How much they contribute to that is irrelevant. Everyone pays what they can afford. Neither are going to get any any dividend from what they put in so why would they have different interests?

A tense day ahead at Tannadice tomorrow, as manager Charlie Mulgrew has face-to-face talks with primary dissenting troublemaker, Charlie Mulgrew. Oh to be a fly on that wall.

This last Union Bears one has actually fried my brain a little bit. It says "congrats" on the advertising hoardings and their end is filing out, so we can safely assume that's a photo taken at full time? In which case, did Union Bears manage to find out what Bhoys Celtic were going to display at full time if Celtic won (we set the standards banner)? So, as a killer response, Union Bears brought along another banner which mentions Celtic's paedophilia, just in case Rangers lost. They actually brought along a banner to the ground which would only make sense to show to the world if you thought your team were going to lose. That must be the famous winning mentality I've heard so much about from Rangers.

Sad to see Fox Hounded out.

Nope but take the rest weekend off for being a pain in the arse.

Totally disagree - as an old timer supporter, it’s tremendous to hear this amount of noise and accompanying vocal support throughout the game. Getting back to real crowds and chants last heard maybe in the 70s and adding a positive vibe which must help the players. I’d be happy to see additional instrumentation added - it all adds to the sense of ‘occasion’. I would suggest attending a game is not the place to nurture a delicate state of health. Without them too many of the ‘mature’ section of the crowd are just too quiet or reactive which means too much sombre silence.. More needed, much more

DC United 3-2 Toronto; 25/02/23 Att: 17,397 Very decent game to kick-off the new MLS season in the capital of the land of the free. Wayne Rooney's DC United perhaps just about deserved the win against a Toronto team with two Euro 2020 winners in Insigne and Bernadeschi. DC United scored two late goals to win the game including a winner in the 98th minute. Hibernian legend Victor Palsson provided the night's Scottish link and had a relatively solid game in the DC United defence. Decent atmosphere provided by the supporters section and there has been a couple of minor updates during the break to what is a cracking little stadium. $29 for the ticket with the obligatory extra $10 of Ticketmaster fees taking it up to $39 for the cheapest seats. $14 for a tin of Heineken, which is seen as something almost exotic round these parts. There's almost nowhere that does hard copies of tickets in the US nowadays in any major sport, which is a shame.

The sooner the c***s f**k off out of our game the better. There will be mewling drivel about "Armageddon" but it will be the same pish we got when Rangers died. Didn't miss the blue pound then, wont miss the green pound either. f**k off scummy c***s.

What's the plans tonight mate? If it was my team I doubt I'd ever forget tonight and then all the celebrations in the town tomorrow. You must be planning something huge.

Just popped into say I hope you have a fucking horrible day.

There needs to be a cut off. If 2 players go for a header and one accidentally lands on the others knee as they land and breaks his leg, is that a red? It feels like cards these days are based on the result of the tackle more than the actual tackle, especially with VAR then showing slow mo, zoomed in, replays and pausing at the point of contact. You lose all context.

Fans of other clubs coming onto match threads to be complain about commentary by a Falkirk fan, for Falkirk fans. Lewis Connolly, you are doing something right Definitely offside btw.

Could they not afford “24 trophies in 11 years is beyond the pale for any healthy domestic competition and we need root and branch change’?

Yup, mere baubles in their trophy room. f**k me, Thistle have been living off a league cup win for over 50 years

Rangers just haven’t been the same since they died.

Regardless of what happens, what a season on the pitch. Think it’s six times we’ve scored four or more in the league in all competitions. I’m not sure how many times I’d seen us score more than four on the road combined before that. I was really worried about yesterday, but these lads are just brilliant and the manager is a breath of fresh air around the club. It’s been an absolute joy to watch at times.

It's a safe bet that the bigots will win this one today.

Edinburgh Livingstone, you just got Cormacked.

Actually thought you were one of the best sides we have been up against this season, if anything it was a great advert for league 1 but when you look at how this league is now half the teams were championship sides up till the last few in namely Dunfermline, Alloa, QotS (bear in mind all got the 500k covid grant as well) plus you have lower league ones that have came into the pyramid structure having money chucked at them Kelty, Edinburgh and in the past Queens Park. You started off bright and after the first goal, thought we were going to be on the wrong end of a doing until we got to grips with it though without being cocky thought we could have had another couple of goals.

We’ve not always been the most vocal crowd. The youngsters and their drum brought loads of atmosphere yesterday. I wouldn’t stand next to it but really love the passion these fans are bringing to the support.

Maybe we could just feel happy for a club that spent the better part of the last few decades in the basement of Scottish football, and enjoy the novelty of Scotland's oldest club back in the top division (if it should happen - "many a slip twixt cup and lip", and all that). I for one would love to see QP playing against Celtic and Rangers (though naturally I'd prefer that if we were there too!) I think any suggestion that QP will crash and burn like Gretna, or that they're living beyond their means, is a little presumptuous. Why not just see how it all pans out, and let them enjoy the trip?

Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid Madrid derby tonight at the Bernabau thanks to my Real supporting pal giving me his season ticket whilst out of town. Strange one for me as an Atleti fan in amongst the home fans restricting myself to an inner YASSS when Gimenez put them in front. Good game all round - some ludicrous refereeing for Correa's sending off, a good performance by Atleti, just unfortunate they couldn't hold on. Good header from Alvaro for the equaliser tbf. The chants of CORRUPTION from the Real fans pretty bizarre too.

It might not be the best decision financially but I would take the cup. I’m 56 and the chances of seeing that in my lifetime after 3 final defeats are diminishing. Cup winners is in the club history forever.

First visit to Patties Road for Edinburgh South 0 Luncarty 4.

Lividforever, you’ve just been wilko’d

Sevco won their cup final in the last round tbf

Presumably pyros are fine at a game these days?

We’re going to miss Dom Thomas for the rest of the season. Surely a custodial sentence for indecency for his role in the third goal.

And they all stuck to there philosophy of playing football the right way, more interested in getting praise from there peers, look at the last 3 weeks. McPake waxing lyrical about us being the best team they have faced walking away with 4 points in his pocket, same with McG lynn blowing smoke up our arse saying how good we are, with his team running out comfortable winners, we As a club and fanbase r so naive and gullible , time to wisen up FFS....

I'll give you an update: the only managers in the history of the club with a better second tier record than Imrie are Hal Stewart, Benny Rooney and Tommy McLean, all of whom won it. The job he's doing is unreal.

Those trousers are so ill fitting and baggy they make Jim Leighton’s legs look straight.

And you think if it was Hibs and Hearts tomorrow and Rangers and Celtic played this afternoon they would spend the last 40 mins of the show focused on the final? Not a chance.

To be fair, the reason for that was an absolutely blatant handball that he was looking straight at, in which the player seemed to lose the flight of it then leaned down and blocked it with his elbow. It was absolutely obvious and he tried to gesture that it had hit the t shirt line, which was just a nonsense. I think we’re right to be frustrated with the red in that we’ve seen a far worse tackle in an earlier game going notably unpunished despite it going to VAR. Phillips isn’t even really making a tackle, he’s controlling the ball, but the outcome is ultimately his foot going into the opponents ankle and it looks horrendous. Just in general I feel like football could benefit massively from moving away from the idea that if the sole of the boot connects with any point above the ankle it’s basically a red card and actually looking at the intent or the overall actual incident. If you’re sliding in out of control then fine, red card. If you’re stretching for the ball and go over the top you’re off. Same if there’s real excessive force. If you're clearly actually just trying to control the ball or you’ve played a pass and there’s nowhere else for your foot to go then maybe mitigate it down to a yellow. It’s shite watching games having men put off for completely unintentional collisions.

From the sublime to the ridiculous.. Kirkcaldy & Dysart 4 Dunbar United 0. High flying Dunbar United crashed to the ground today. They weren't at the races against a well organised, strong tackling Kirkcaldy side. I hadn't been to what was then called Denfield for 20 years (a drab 0-0 draw in the mist against Steelend Vics as I had to ask my mate to remind me) and there's been a good bit of improvement since then. Despite the result I had a good steak pie and a plane came over at one point with a banner to inform us that baby Lafferty is a girl. Some people have more money than sense (Kyle?)
