Kyle Reese

Brendan Rogers furiously storming around with a wee ruler in his hand measuring the length of the grass at away venues.

Serial drop-dodgers, mate. Slippery coddies that you are. We just accepted our unjust demotion with dignity and grace.

Now we are getting to the crux of it. For a while the domestic set-up suited this pair of parasites down to the ground. First and second guaranteed every season and a media deal which paid out massively top heavy towards positions 1 and 2. Not a huge amount of money still, not to them anyway. Then a big gap to third and everyone else much of a muchness. The poor financial rewards for everyone else keeps them slitting each others throats season after season and nobody really able to pull away within that ten. It was all about the Champions League money and a twenty to thirty million windfall from the group stages. Money that had another club been able to snatch, would have opened up a three horse race. Now the financials in England have increased so much, even thirty million each season is not enough to compete with the big boys. This might actually prompt some kind of change now because the cosy little system is no longer enough for them. I expect some more squealing about an Atlantic League soon.

I love these threads. Everyone United in utter fucking hatred towards one of the old firm. Brings a wee tear to the eye… glory hunting bigots getting beaten by diddies. Yum!

Well done, Killie.

If that scenario arises, it will almost definitely be serial drop-dodgers Aberdeen who escape; with their knickers roond their ankles!

The substitutions were like a kid playing FIFA.

Never happened, unfortunately. I thought we were utter shite in the second half.

Absolutely. I was just pointing out that despite the general consensus among the Celtic support, their board is often politically the polar opposite of that image, particularly in terms of conservatism. I mean then there is the fact that Celtic are a globalised brand owned by industrialists capitalists…

It is. Apologies for linking this site, but it was the only link I found that had a photograph of the article: https://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/39-the-timaloys-of-paradise-39-celtic-support-1961-t48941.html One of my mates refers to himself as a Tim, and I know a few more casual acquaintances who do as well.

I know loads of Celtic fans who call themselves that. Genuinely surprised to hear it is a banned word on here. I also remember Neil Lennon surrounded by Thai children in a video a few years ago. The title given to the group by the Celtic supporters sharing it was “Thai ****”.

What’s today?” cried Kensel, calling downward to a boy in Sunday clothes. “Today?” replied the boy. “Why, Christmas Day!” “It’s Christmas Day!” said Kensel to himself. “I haven’t missed it! The spirits have done it all in one night. Hallo, my fine fellow! Do you know the football club at Meadowbank? And do you know whether they are up for sale?” “What, the one with the running track?” returned the boy. “It’s still hanging around.” “Is it!” said Kensel. “Go and buy it! I am in earnest. Go and buy it and come back with the man that I may give them the direction where to take it. I’ll give you a shilling for it. Come back with the man in less than five minutes and I’ll give you half-a-crown!”

He looks like a dinner lady.

I meant in business terms. Sure I read about some kind of youth development tie in or something. Obviously quite close geographically.

Are they not quite close to Hibs? Maybe Hibs will do a Duff, Gray and Mercer with them? Dual ownership rules been relaxed recently, I think.

I suspect a lot of your current board do likewise. Albeit probably slightly less unpalatable political views.

I think we will break the hoodoo. Done it with Kilmarnock and St Johnstone at last so why not.

Hamilton for least, probably. Other than relegating Hibs I can’t think of anything that piqued my attention over the years. I find all the fat, red-dished orange order lifestyle a real turn off, so I would hate to live somewhere where that is a big thing. So for that reason Airdrie have to get an honourable mention too. Most is my own club: HMFC. Would be weird to choose any other club. If I had not inherited them from an unbroken line from father to child since people first started watching football in Edinburgh, then I think I would probably still have chosen them as my club. Outside of HMFC, I used to quite like Raith Rovers for various reasons too: The old McCrae’s Battalion connection, the team that beat Celtic to lift the League Cup and then went on to lead vs Bayern Munich. Also liked how Turnbull Hutton was so outspoken about the ‘zombification’ of Rangers and the attempts to insert them in to a higher level than they should. As it was they ultimately did get inserted higher of course, but at least it wasn’t the SPL or First Division. I went off them a bit during the vote to end the season however.

That Mika laddie on loan from Arsenal at Motherwell.

I was asked a question. Apologies.

Hearts supporters and players joined FoH rallies. When we were in trouble however…

They were not needed. We had no sectarian policy at Edinburgh’s original football club. Hibs felt the need to present themselves as a counter-piece to my City’s history and heritage, for sectarian reasons. They literally had a policy of not employing players who were not of Irish descent. Since then, and in my lifetime, they have blurred the lines of sporting rivalry to something that it should not be. Things like fantasising about culture and image… makes me want to puke tbh. Pretentious nonsense, and a security blanket for supporters who have so little to grasp hold of in terms of honours won on grass. On top of that, the way your fellow supporters tried to crash our CVA when we were on the brink of destruction, compared to how we supported your claim to be allowed in the Scottish league, and the Jambos who joined HoH rallies. I despise the actions of your football club. Especially that c**t Petrie. You seem like a decent enough lad though, despite posting on Kickback and pretending to be an HMFC supporter under the pseudo of “Last Laff”. ()
