After this first 7 minutes of the second half that scenario doesn’t seem that unrealistic. This is a shadow of previous Rangers teams. I will delete this post if it ends up 5-0 at full time.

Kenny Miller is wasted up in that commentary box, the guy is confidently diagnosing hamstring injuries from 50 feet away.

Wonder what Eric Hitchmough would say if he was here eh? ‘Look guys stop arguing over which version of The Office you like better…and I don’t agree with that in the workplace!’

Liking both shows… means less.

The Clifton Suspension bridge was built for people like you, the fact you can drive cars across it is a bonus, so do the decent thing…and leave the keys in your ignition so someone can shift it afterwards.

Sliced bread, innit?

This bugs me too, I am dumbfounded as to where people started getting taught to indicate right when going straight through a roundabout where their exit is directly infront of where they entered from. There is a section down at the Phoenix retail park in Linwood where you have dual carriageway along with 3 roundabouts in quick succession, and I regularly see cars with their right hand indicator on whilst they sit in the left hand lane going straight through the roundabout. What part of going straight would make you think you need to have your right side indicator on?

It makes Big Bang Theory look like a masterclass in comedic delivery. That’s basically it, yeah.

‘Yesterdays phone in only yielded 3 calls, that was my mistake I think panel beating was too narrow a topic… …so today we’re going to open it out and ask ‘What is the best thing?’’

Well when you reduce it to that, yes it’s just attaching banners to lampposts, but I think the goal of the project is to connect the area around the stadium to the club, and give us a bit of presence in a town thats well known for having more than its fair share of Old Firm fans. I really like the idea, if you had every lamppost along Greenhill Road displaying pictures of our history and achievements along with the club colours it would definitely make that part of the town feel more ‘St. Mirreny’. I was down at Stamford Bridge a few years ago and they had similar banners to what the fan group is proposing, and they went all they way from the tube station to the stadium. If anything it allows visitors to find the stadium easier as you just follow the banners. On a non matchday you could go down Underwood Road and drive in to Ferguslie not even knowing there was a Premiership teams football stadium 500 yards away. It’s not exactly the Maracana so something like this would be a good way of putting our own wee mark on the area. Massive well done to the guys volunteering to put this together in their own time too, I know they’ve been responsible for some of the excellent murals under the stands and the stadium is a far cry from the breeze block shell it was when it first opened.

First sensible thing I've heard you say all day, well done. There is an episode of the US Office where the admin staff play basketball against the warehouse staff (because that is such an everyday, relatable occurrence that I’m sure takes place in companies all across America), and I was told by a couple of guys in my work to watch this particular episode because it had so many funny moments in it. I genuinely think I could have smoked 3 fat weed blunts before watching and not even smirked at a single ‘joke’ in it. That was the first episode of the US version I had ever watched, and as the episode finished and the end credits started to play I don’t think I’ve ever been as angry as I was in that moment; angry that someone I trusted had told me to watch it, angry that a not insignificant amount of people had taken the time to actually produce the episode, almost certainly at great cost, but mostly angry at myself for watching it when I already knew what kind of ‘comedy’ was waiting for me. I actually caught the last 10 minutes of an episode a few nights ago when I was waiting on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ to start, and Catherine Tate seemed to be a thing in the US Office. I’ve genuinely met cats that are funnier than her, and not even particularly funny cats.

To be fair the UK and US Offices aren’t comparable as you say, completely different styles of humour, but no one can convince me that in those 2 series of the UK Office that the character development, depth and relationship arcs can be in any way compared to however many seasons there is of the US Office. That could very well be down to the inability of a US audience to understand that kind of awkward humour, where the joke actually isn’t found amongst the dialogue but within the situation the characters find themselves in. I do actually have Comedy Central on my TV and I’ve watched the odd episode of the US Office, and whilst I may have slightly sniggered at parts of it, or stretched my mouth in to the shape of a smile after seeing something that humoured me, I maintain that people who enjoy the US version over the UK one are of a drastically lower IQ (and I can back that up with evidence). If anyone wants to sit through 200 odd episodes of the US Office watching Michael Scott acting out a scene where he inadvertently leaves a voicemail on someones phone like some kind of modern day Laurel and Hardy sketch, or watching a scene where ‘the black guy’ in the office does something that is stereotypical of a black guy, then who am I to tell them not to. It’s just not that funny to people who have a 3 figure IQ.

That one on the way down meant Warrington would be doing well to continue. Didn’t think it was a controversial stoppage either, Warrington was gone, and if you’re not able to turn and face the referee on the count of 10 then you can have no excuses when it’s stopped.

Fucking hell. That’s a grown man as well. Can’t even give him the defence of being drunk or high on drugs because it’s about 12 hours later and he’s not deleted it. Imagine typing all that out and clicking the send button without thinking to yourself ‘Is this ok? Does this seem like the sort of thing I should be posting on the internet?’ ‘Shagfest’ That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. Mortified for the guy and his family.

It’s either from Oasthouse or an audio of one his older books, but there was a line in it that genuinely still has me laughing every time it pops into my head. I had a look on Google to see if it’s quoted anywhere but it doesn’t seem to be. Alan is talking about bumping into a guy that he used to go to school with and gives a bit of background explaining the boy had behaviour issues etc, but the line was ‘he managed to mix a warm, friendly handshake with a genuine mental illness’. It might not be as funny written down but when I heard that for the first time in Partridges voice I was in hysterics.

Your devotion to The Office quotes across this forum is commendable.

That’s exactly what he done, and for once we seen a Scottish official using a bit of common sense and allowing the passage of play to continue. He very nearly blew his whistle but managed to catch himself in time. Unfortunately Walsh then decided he seen a foul in real time (which although still a terrible decision I understand that he only gets one look etc.), but inexplicably a different official with access to slow motion replays didn’t alert him to the monumental f**k up he made. That could have been an easy win for the refereeing team, a quite obvious case of no foul being committed and the VAR overturning an onfield decision. Back slaps all round from the fans, pundits and suits at Hampden Park alike, a job well done. But no, thats not how it goes down in Scottish football instead the incompetence of the refereeing team is laid bare for everyone to see. £850 quid Walsh pocketed on Saturday btw, nearly half of an average persons monthly wage for a few hours work. Can’t help but feel that money could be put to better use.

Love how they both grow in to this the longer it goes on

Todd? Seriously?

Yes it was the same game. Wads of Monopoly money was getting thrown around the away end whilst the Rangers fans held up their red cards to liquidation. Just thinking back to that time it’s actually absurd. They tried to stop their club getting liquidated by giving it a red card They tried to give a financial process a red card. What possible outcome did they imagine would come of that protest? The liquidators sitting in their office the day after the game ‘Well that’s us not liquidating Rangers anymore, did you see what they’ve went and done?’ ‘No what did they do?’ ‘Only went and gave us a bloody red card. Phone Brian tell him liquidations no happening. The Bears have won’.

Had the pleasure of being in the away end at Ibrox when the home fans held their famous ‘Red Card to Liquidation’ protest, where all the Rangers fans held up a wee bit of red paper before the game, for some reason. I’m not an insolvency solicitor by any means, but if my team was on the brink of liquidation because of unpaid debts I would think money would be of more value than wee bits of red paper. I still chuckle away to myself every 6 months or so when I remember that was the sum of their efforts in order to save their club.

‘I could change it, I could just say big cock and not mention the colour.’

Frank Smith having a go at the working class doesn’t seem like a great PR strategy.
