Any back story on this?
I just remember him being given pelters, as they say, at Parkhead circa 69/70. As a little boy in my Celtic tammy I thought he must be not nice, as an adult with all Celtic regalia long since binned I think he must have wonderful .

Joe Hart....for the peerless Pirlo penalty alone you are Head & Shoulders above all Celtic goalkeepers since Evan Williams. Enjoy your retirement, young man.

Surely he wouldn't be interested due to a distinct lack of "guid honest laddies" ( and lassies in this instance)
Or the lack of opportunity to flash his penis on primetime TV 'fir the banter' ?

It really isn't the place to be for ordinary fans.
The sort of fans that the EPL now attracts are pathetic clowns. The type that react to goals by pulling out their phone and recording themselves pretend celebrating.
Sky told you that the EPL is great though so it must be......
Wait till you hear what Sky tell you about 'derby day in Glasgow' !

Would imagine Ryanair would ban them for life.
I doubt that. Ryanair are the Old Firm of the aviation industry. Happy to tolerate any kind of vermin type behaviour from their 'customers' as long as the money keeps rolling in.

Fair enough point if you're basing it on your form over this whole season but my exact words were "Hearts current form could see them up there".
My point, which I maybe didn't put forward particularly well, wasn't that for non OF teams would get an more an advantage playing Ayr or Morton twice a season than OF teams. It was that non OF teams could, potentially only drop say 2, 3 or 4 points (maximum of 6 rather than 12) against the one of OF by only playing them twice, especially if one of them are in bad form and you actually had a go at them. You're far less likely to drop as many points to Morton and Ayr twice than Rangers and Celtic 4 times.
Let me get this right, you would rather play the OF 8 times a season, likely losing all of them in a normal situation, rather than playing against smaller teams who you would likely beat instead? Yes I know that also means 4 games against Hibs, which is exciting for you guys, but no one else outside your fan base gives a shit. With the exception of maybe Aberdeen, I wouldn't class any of your other fixtures as "big".
Sorry to tell you this but unfortunately due to our game being marketed but utterly incompetent arseholes, there's really only 4 big games a season.
And as for meaningless games, have you looked at the league table recently? You guys have sewn up 3rd, the top and bottom 6 are pretty much a given barring Aberdeen and Hibs actually start playing football again or Dundee and St Mirren shit the bed, and only a miracle of biblical proportions is saving either Livi or Ross County. We're already well into meaningless territory.
But sure, you guys keep doing the same thing and expect different results, think Einstein had a quote about that. Who knows, maybe the old firm will inexplicably get bored with winning, become charitable and decide splitting money evenly with everyone is the best idea and that gap between 2nd and 3rd magically shortens. Meanwhile I'll keep watching my wee team in an actual league that's entertaining and has some real drama and excitement.
Exactly this. This idea that the most boring and predictable sporting competition on the planet is somehow chock-full of 'big games' is the real nonsense. Four games a season does not work. If it did everyone would do it.

After tonight's result you'd have to say yes.
Considering that for all intents and purposes Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic are the same club you'd have to say no.

Coverage of Scottish sport in the Guardian is very, very bad. They did a whole write up of the last six nations and mentioned us once at the end.
They only care about him because he's on Arsenals books.
I'm well aware that The Guardian isn't all that bothered with Scotland my concern would be what if neither is Tierney.

There's a decent interview with Tierney in The Grauniad. He's clearly loving his time in the Basque Country, culturally and in terms of his football. I know his homesickness when he moved to London has been a bit of a theme of this thread, but as he says at the end here he's a bit older now and has adapted to life there well. Worth a read.
Interesting that with the Euros only months away that article makes absolutely no mention of Scotland.

Any reason why they have annoyed you?
They made him watch Baseball ? They insisted the English Premier League was actually a really exciting brand of football ? They reluctantly concluded that, based on current form and historical precedent, it was highly unlikely that Scotland would qualify from their group at Euro 2024 ? They no platformed him ?

Aye once you understand American Football it's an exciting sport to watch. I don't, but I get why others do.
Anyway, my PTTTGOMN is the naming of things after people who have died. At Firhill we have the John Lambie stand and McParland Way. Both men achieved things that we were all aware of for years, but we waited til McParland had died before naming a thing after him. Do it while he's still alive and he gets to be honoured by it for the rest of his life. Just seems a shame to wait.
Two men most associated with industrial strength, if highly uncreative, swearing. Bad , bad, bad Thistle !

Until they are got rid of, sadly there really isn't.

Imagine Celtic winning the Scottish cup and Dermot Desmond gets presented with the trophy before any of the players get near it
Makes sense that those who pay for the trophy get the trophy. Celtic do not win the league or the cup because they are the best but because they are the richest.

I advise you never to engage in comedy. Such a sensitive audience, I’ll hang my head in shame and never watch a comedian again.
Apart from Frankie Boyle.
The first and only rule of comedy is 'be funny'. You aren't.
