  1. The idea of maintaining our history being down to holding on to geewgaws dating back to our first (shared) title in 1891 isn't the point.

    The 'real history' is about, for example, me coming back from Ibrox with my dad and having tea at my grandfather's and discussing the merits of Henderson vs Waddle vs Morton.

    This is nothing unique to Rangers of course. It happens in every footballing-supporting family in Scotland with two or more generations of fans. The younger ones laud players that the older ones say weren't fit to lace the boots of a player of their own generation etc.

    History like this matter much more than baubles and is (partly) what makes setting up 'RFC of Govan' so difficult.

    Great post, especially the second paragraph. It's basically impossible to change your team. It's all the memories of your youth and being with your parents that keep you going back, like a sense of nostalgia.

    If St Johnstone were to go tits up, I couldn't move onto a new club, because I'd always remember things like my Dad taking me to it first as a family day out, watching us put three past Monaco, and thinking Nick Dasovic was the greatest player ever.

    You might have some good times supporting a new team, and get rid of the shysters, but you'd always hark back. Kinda like a lost love I suppose. Something on a true football fan would understand.

  2. a bit random but I've recently been listening to some slayer tunes on youtube. What albums of theirs are worth checking out?

    Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven in that order.

    God Hates Us All gets a bad rep, but I love it personally, so I'd give that a shot after those first three.

  3. Did nobody else heAr the rumour that Pardew is on an odd package cause he turned up with £~2m gambling debts. Ashley cleared them and pays Pardew a nominal salary (I heard £40k but who knows). This was why pardew got an 8 year deal which is obviously unheard of but much more understandable when paying such a low manager salary. No idea if true but its a good rumour.

    I think McCoist, McDowell and limpalot are worth every penny.....

    I've heard that as well to be honest. No wonder Newcastle continue to turn a profit each year.

  4. Cracking line-up for North of the Wall, Morton's season'll probably be dead by then but I'll wait and see if I want to miss Dunfermline away or not.

    Was anyone at Sikth on Wednesday? Absolutely tremendous.

    Really wanted to go, but took my flatmate to bonfire night. Did they play any new stuff?

  5. Joined the gym at my local social club. Works out only £40 a year. I haven't been down to it yet but plan on going today to lose weight and get fit again. Used to play 5's on a regular basis but have maybe played 5/6 times in the last year. The only real exercise I have been doing is walking the dog a few miles a day.

    I am cutting out snacks between meals and fizzy juice ( my really bad habit ) so hoping to shed some weight. Having a wee competition with some of my family to see who can lose the most, the competition will hopefully keep us all on track.

    Looking for a wee bit of advice on what should I do at the gym. Its meant to be pretty basic but has weights, exercise bikes, rowing machines, treadmills ect. Just now I am probably the most unfit I have been in my life and defo overweight.

    I have been reading about intensive 20 minute workouts are better to burn fat ect. Will have a read through this thread too to see if I can pick up helpful tips.

    The 20 minute bit is correct. I think it can go up to 40 minutes, but it depends if you want to burn fat or get fitter, which usually lets you do longer sessions.

    Suggest a warm up of your limbs and then 20 minutes on the cross trainer first as it's low impact on your limbs. Also worth noting that the first time you go, your body will struggle, as everyones does, but your fitness will improve loads when you go back the second time.

    Look forward to hearing how you get on with your session mate.
