This was posted on the Talkceltic forum 2 years to the day before the Boston marathon bombing.

 

“Scariest moment i have had really because it seems 100% real even though it was a dream after reading the first posts i think it may have been a controlling dream or whatever but anyway i think it was pretty * up here it is and remember this is a dream haha.

 

I appeared in my home town i live in now Lancaster in the middle of the city centre it was pitch black night but all of the shops were open and the lights were turned on everything going on as normal apart from there was around 100 people on one side and 100 on the other, i was on the right side with two friends i have not seen in years after looking at them we didn't say a word just smiled he was covered in a white cloak just stood staring then next minute his eyes wen't deep black and he started talking in some * up language like he was possesed.

 

Then everything seemed to freeze then bang bang bang the shops lights wen't out one after the other untill there was complete darkness.

 

Everyone screaming could hear kids cry but the intire sky was like a bottle green colour and the sun seemed 10 times closer and it was pitch black, so i have started running all i can hear is screams and the sound of the bombing sirens and police sirens.

 

I being to run around in the direction of my home the same way i walk home everyday yet the building had been knocked down years back and replaced the old buildings were all still there so i'm still running trying to get past hundereds of people then i look back up to the sky and all i can see now is green smoke in the air with the pitch black sun still there then people infront of me start dropping like flys one after the other until i see two people infront of me drop then finally me.

 

I drop to the floor i can feel my organs collapsing and i'm choking on the smoke, then i wake up out of my sleep but i still can't get out of the dream i'm still there yet part of me is telling myself i have woke up.

 

Still in the dream i can't get out of it then i see about 5 figures all stood above me with deep black eyes and i'm screaming at them for a code or an answe for some reason, they cary on staring not saying a word then they start talking in the same * up language again.

 

I'm still screaming asking them telling them i don't understand.. then they say BOSTON,BOSTON

 

Still on the ground i scream at them what the * do you mean ?

 

BOSTON THE ANNIVERSARY.. IT'S COMING.. when it does you know the answer to be one of the free!

 

BOOM.. wake up for real dripping in sweat even though part of me felt like i had allready woke up ages ago but * me you can't imagine how real it all felt.

 

I have really tried to understand just what the * this dream was and just what the * the whole Boston thing meant i think the last bit was the scariest still trying to work * out never had a dream like it.”

The quote is a few posts down. Can’t find the original but I remember reading it at the time and then it being brought up after the bombing.

 

I remember reading this years ago and was trying to search for it recently.

Proper freaked me out at the time.

It’s very eery and got me because it couldn’t have been edited and was so descriptive.

In the Botswana Premier League they have surely one of the fiercest derbies about between the police XI and the prisons X1.

Bet that gets a bit heated.

I’m not against it, I just think the vulnerable/elderly should be shielded and allow everyone else to go to work etc. So many people are on the cusp of losing their jobs (if they haven’t already) and the untold damage mentally will go along with that. I lost my job due to covid and it was a grim time. These stop/start “lockdowns” will probably end up doing more harm than good 

When we’re all elderly we’ll probably face a pandemic as well, I hope the young people of the day don’t share your attitude.

I lost my job too and it’s horrible. There’s nothing nice about this. But letting it run rampant through the population would make it a lot less nice.

Hang in there, I’m struggling too but global pandemics don’t last forever. Just need to keep going.

Sometimes I just can't understand why folk take to Twitter to post such wildly differing posts such closely timed together. 

Is it a real person?

There was a tweet in April from an account who seemed like a real person claiming their doctor husband had died of covid and when they Investigated it the account turned out to be an Eastern European bot building a political narrative and ended up getting deleted.

The tweet about the husband was 10 mins after a tweet sounding a lot like that.

That case always looked to me like it was something quite simple like that. They maybe drank some dodgy knockoff vodka, went a bit mad through exposure and then local wildlife picked at the tasty bits like eyeballs. Or they got battered by a yeti.

I think the car crash injuries and radiation burns would suggest otherwise.

there was an interesting thread on another forum I read that suggested some of the pictures released by the local authorities were edited and some of the pictures and examples used were pretty convincing tbh.

Look at the sides man u and arsenal have been putting out. Youngsters and reserves players and a couple of first teamers.   Lot of english sides would give it a miss if possible.  The really big sides in it dont give a feck. Likes of braga and feyenoord might but their hardly major forces in european football these days.The fact that Kluj put our champs out the champ league qualifiers says it all about where we are. Until we're getting sides into the champ league consistently again we've got nowt to crow about on a european level.

Porto played in the quarter finals of the champions league last season and Lazio are chasing the title in Serie A and they never won a game against our sides in 4 attempts.

its English clubs loss if they don’t care about a prestigious European competition but the Spanish, Italian and German clubs definitely do.

Well funnily enough our European participation has led to a  second champions league spot and potentially an easier qualifying route so I’m sure you’ll enjoy seeing our champions league participation which doesn’t fit your negative view of our game.

As I said lot of clubs put out reserves sides in the europa league. Noone really takes it seriously apart from nations like us.  It's a bit like the challenge cup  noone takes much interest till you get to the semis or final. 

Absolute guff. Can tell you that every side Rangers have faced in the Europa League this season have fielded their strongest side and some actually rested their players in domestic football to prepare for the ties. A quick look at Celtic’s opponents would tell you they faced opponents strongest teams too. Scottish football has competed relatively well over the last 2 seasons and is flying up the coefficient table.

Considering Tavernier hasn’t even played in Scotland for a full 4 yearsTav is probably still trying to work out how Amido Balde managed to play for Celtic for minus 2 seasons.

Why on earth do ex-pros feel the need to trot out this garbage at two week intervals?!
They were relegated, and Hibs have passed up on two good chances to get promoted, hence why they are not Premiership sides.
If they get promoted, which it looks like at least one of them will, then they will be Premiership sides.
Why is it such a hard concept to grasp up here that some clubs go down because they're just not that good. You don't hear it in England. Leeds and Forest and Villa aren't "premier league sides in waiting". Pish.
Another thing has been the consistent over-rating of our championship since the 14/15 season. Players who have performed well down there have come up to the top flight and been shite, but when has that not happened?! The shock that Waghorn, Tavernier, McKay, et al can't cut the mustard has been strange IMO. How many times has a player been signed after performing well in that league, and ended up being shite?! I could name you hunners!!

In fairness with regards to your Championship argument you won't get too many leagues in Europe where the side promoted to the top flight finished 3rd and then 2nd/3rd the following season.

And the national cup final was contested by 2 sides from the second tier as well.

Can see your point in regards to the annoying stories being trotted out though.
