  1. I was referring to the DAB that launched a smoke bomb at his heid.
  2. That wasn't very Partick Thistle-y of him
  3. Ties are not clothing, so not it will not.
  4. The 8th was the winner here. Class day in the drizzle. RIP the Derry surges
  5. Maybe our pitch would be better if the establishment wasn’t out to get us. Sad, really.
  6. Cheers for the covers, here's the point we promised.
  7. It's mental isn't it? There seems to be so many of them and they all just stood about looking at each other.
  8. Why do the Netherlands wear orange when their flag is blue, red and white? I wondered.. So wait, their justification for using orange kits is that it is a nod to their Dutch players... who in turn wear it because of William of Orange?... What?
  9. 28 years in the 2nd tier from 1932 to 1960, minus 4 for the war where they no doubt embarrassed themselves as well. were*
  10. Still laughing as I type this. Thank you.
  11. Vázquez' celebration of slapping his arm like he was trying to find a vein was hilarious and unexpected. Are there rumours he's on the gear? I hope that's added to FIFA
  12. Conversely, my Gran would censor by way of spelling out the word P-E-S-T when referring to me misbehaving, despite it not being a swear word.
  13. Kelly Clark has been keeping Gauld out the squad for far too long now it's a fucking DISGRACE Tierney just on for Sociedad. Good to see.
  14. My Gran would say "effing and blinding".
  15. Your use of 'they' implies the same people who are blaming the problems on another country (nobody is doing that) are the same people who were the oppressors in Ireland. I'm not sure why. My use of Ireland referred to the whole island and asked whether or not the absence of the country and thereby these divisive but ultimately galvanising differences in identity in OF fans would have changed the Scottish football landscape and how. It's not serious, just a ponderance of an alternate reality. It's fair to say these issues have acted like a shot of steroids in the arm for both clubs, with it forming a stronger bond in the minds of fans as they feel they have to protect cultures and uphold traditions which are under attack from the other side. Things that fans of any other club simply don't consider when supporting their team or thinking about football. Hmm, Celtic still would have been formed* by Irish immigrants and I'd imagine there would still be anti-Irish/anti-immigrant sentiment? Would Rangers have still taken on the role of Scottish representatives of the British state without Protestantism? Like @Jacky1990 I wonder how much of it is, truly, down to religion or if that's simply just another weapon to use when attacking one another. *Actually, I realise now the basis for which Celtic were formed and so perhaps they wouldn't have existed without religion. I wonder how the absence of religion would affect the numbers of Irish immigrants, how they were perceived and whether or not a football club representing them would have come to be? Without religion I'd still expect them to have become the "fierce" rivals they are today, that's why I said Ireland and not religion. But then again, who knows? Without Ireland, Celtic wouldn't have existed and Rangers would have had no reason to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe Queen's Park and Partick Thistle would have become the OF and a poison in our game.
