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 ?

Of course there's a difference !!!! Just being a 'Celtic legend' or indeed 'Rangers', 'Hearts', 'Aberdeen' or any other 'club legend' does not automatically make a player a national 'legend' full stop. In certain cases, a Jimmy McGrory, a Billy McNeill or a Jimmy Johnstone (to stick to purely Celtic examples)then it does. Scott Brown is not in that category. But then that's merely my opinion.

Scott Brown may Indeed be a 'Celtic legend' , in which case say so rather than the frankly purely driven by emotion , statement, "Legend, no more to be said". Personally, from my boyhood days I would cite the two Bobbys, Murdoch & Lennox, Tommy Gemmell etc etc as 'Celtic legends' but I wouldn't insist, as you appear to do, that all other fans of all other clubs have also to accept them as 'legends'.

It doesn't upset people it's just that some people might have a differing opinion and don't consider Scot Brown to be 'a legend' . Are such opinions not allowed ??

You're not suggesting that religion hasn't got a place in schooling are you ? You crazed infidel ! Have a downtick from me .

'One half of' have tweeted tearfully over the loss of an Aussie cricketing great. C'mon 'other half of', it's not too late for some suitably maudlin Presbyterian eulogy for Rodney Marsh RIP. It is tit for tat in Old Firm land after all.

Walter Smith appeared to Chick in a dream and spake thus: "Haw, ya wee fuckin' fanny, tell the world to give Ukraine the cup "
