Wales have been here before when they moved the march to Anfield in 77 virtually handing Scotland home advantage. They won't make that mistake again.

No we don't, we really don't. Wish we did but we don't and in my lifetime, sadly, we never have !

Either way we would get beat. Best step aside as a gesture to Ukraine, take the world's plaudits and let the Welsh be the shitbags for knocking them out.

Rangers welcomed all over the UK......... Newcastle, Birmingham, Chesterfield , George Square, Manchester..... et ad infanitum cetera....can you hear me , can you hear me ?????!!!

It's also just a 'showpiece brand' that's been marketed within these shores for a century or more. The Old Firm are to all intents and purposes the same entity. Same goals, same psuedo 'history', same half-witted secterian fan base, same symbiotic reliance on and need for each other to survive.

Should be some sort of ointment for that. Maybe just a nice hot soak in a Radox bath ?

Which is still the case without a split....but without it the dream is still open to all (within arithmetical reason). The Split - the 11plus of Scottish football !!!

So with 5 games to go you could be in either sixth or seventh place ? Big wow ! It really doesn't matter. This split garbage is nonsense now, will be nonsense tomorrow and is nonsense forever.

Ok fair enough but "Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day" ? We've got to nail the b*****d on that one, surely !?

Try and find a copy of an Alan Carr(not the toothy comic) book on stopping smoking. Knocks the 'I enjoy it' thing on the head quite convincingly.

I admire the Gilbert and think highly of 'Nothing Rhymed' & 'Alone Again, Naturally' but a song that suggests a grown man is excited at the thought of a 3 year old girl wanting to marry him , however innocent the intention, might today be the subject of 2nd thoughts.

That's 'Glass Half Full' talk and, frankly, it's unScottish !!! Since Mexico 1970 I have experienced Scotland either fucking up World Cup qualifying or fucking up World Cup group stage qualifying. 'Half Glass Empty' is the standard Scottish measure resulting from that experience. We will not, I repeat, not knock a Gareth Bale led Wales out of the World Cup in Cardiff. Therefore it has to be Austria, please I beg you. B

I seriously believe that partaking in Amsterdam's smokey delights make people seriously overrate these wee FEBO things. Strictly for 'the munchies' only.

Appalling I'm sure and doubtless Hearts have more than their fair share of morons but the Edinburgh fixture is not the festival of bigotry that the Old Firm game is. Old Firm fans, all adult ones anyway, at best tolerate the secterianism and bigotry associated with these clubs with a wry shake of the head. The "oh well, it's not pleasant but it's a safety valve, so no harm done" argument. At worst they revel in it . I can't believe any of them truly detest it or why would they support either of these clubs ?

Civillised decency in the 21st century demands that the Glasgow secterian clubs do not meet in a Saturday afternoon Scottish Cup Final, so I damn well hope the draw is rigged !!

No is the simple answer to that one !

And a vile secterian Scottish Cup Final once again avoided.

Postewhatchamacallim could do with a 'mansierre' or a 'bro'.....in a fetching green hue of course.

Which one ?

For nigh on a century they and their pals at Ibrox have gently fanned the flames of religious division on order to keep their income stream flowing. It's the Old Firm business model. However, on reflection I'm wrong and accept they're not a sectarian football club. They are a football club that makes money on the back of sectarianism. Not sure whether that's better or worse. And intensely disliking the Old Firm and all they stand for is not 'seething'. It's actually very liberating . You should try it.

But we aren't talking about Hearts, we are talking about the pampered, preening, entitled, arrogant Old Firm who lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt by the rest of Scottish society sometime around 1909. And, as I live in a country where two secterian football teams passing around the league championship between them in perpetuity is seen not only as acceptable but as something to get excited about by our national broadcaster.......then of course I'm fucking paranoid !!!!!!!!!

No, any 'seethe' which you may detect on your 'Celtic Paranoiameter', is due to your all too typical Old Firm arrogance in demanding that all of Scottish football and its myriad fan bases accept 'Broony' as 'a legend' when he is no more than a 'Celtic legend' and, it has to be repeated, a fairly minor one at that when set against the great and the good that have graced Parkhead since the end of the nineteenth century. Just accept that just sometimes the Old Firm do not get to dictate to the rest of Scotland who and who isn't 'a legend' and move on.

I'd say you've got a point with that one.

I'd say Scott Brown is getting a decent and we'll deserved level of credit from the vast majority of folk posting here. The fact that the rest of the Scottish football public don't bow down and genuflect before the man as we have been instructed by his acolytes in the Old Firm establishment press is hardly a surprise, surely ?
