    As much as I hate to say it the title is deserved. Congratulations to those of you who aren't behaving like arseholes tonight. Where are Police Scotland?

    Not allowed to do anything as it's all just high jinks by ra peepul apparently. 

    Despite every single one of them should be getting £60-£10,000 fines.

    You and i both know not one of them will be touched.

    Sad day for justice system.

    There’s so many names connected with Celtic that I can’t help but laugh about whenever I think about them tonight.

    Players like Brown, Griffiths, Lustig and Tierney all passionately goading opponents over the past decade. Whether it be celebrating in opponents faces, tying scarves to goalposts or jumping about with police hats and megaphones it’s brilliant to know that it ended like this for them and they’ll all be gutted.

    Then there was mouthpieces like Tommy Sheridan and Tom Boyd who all spoke regularly about “the ten” and the chant about Brendan Rodgers being here for 10IAR. Well he’s neither here and neither is the 10 :lol:

    For me personally I think back to the way Celtic conducted themselves against us during the Nov/Dec 2017 ‘trilogy’ where they got two penalties for nothing and couldn’t bring themselves to admit that they got lucky. Then their players and Rodgers jumping about celebrating being handed a 1-1 draw at Fir Park. I remember all of that today as their dream died.

    As I said, it is just so, so satisfying seeing arrogance put in its place.

    Oh....

     

    The Queen is to make a televised address to the nation on Sunday.

    Her Majesty will deliver a message to mark Rangers winning an historic 55th title, which this year falls on Dundsty, March 7.

    This will now be an annual celebration observed by people all over the Commonwealth in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Americas, the Pacific and Europe.

    Usually, there would be a service at Westminister Abbey to mark the occasion, however this won't be going ahead due to the pandemic.

    Instead, Her Majesty's speech will be broadcast on Sunday, March 7 in a special hour-long episode on BBC One at 5pm.

     

    The Queen will be too busy working out to make Meghans upcoming car accident look like it wasn't meant and really was an accident to worry about congratulating Rangers!

    Congratulations Rangers. After a decade of pain and ‘the banter years’ this must be a glorious moment for you. Make sure you lap it up, drink in every sweet second of it.

    And never forget the sheer arrogance of Celtic and their fans over the last decade, they lorded it over you and everyone else in the Scottish game and thought that 10IAR was theirs and a formality. Well you have just put them right back into their box and this Motherwell fan is extremely grateful to you for that.

    Enjoy your night, safely of course.

    YATP

    Sycophant.

    Motherwell fan my arse.

    Nobody I repeat nobody loves another club they claim not to support that much.

    I don't think it's an effective form of governance, if you mean specifically referendums on issues like Independence then I think you'd have to be quite thin between the ears to not understand why returning "No" every 4 years and spending lots of money on doing so and sucking all the political oxygen out the room to do so would not be good for anyone, do you want your MSPs to spend half their time campaigning or actually creating policies and implementing them etc..

    You can change your mind on these issues every 2 seconds if you like, doesn't mean the whole country should rerun votes based on your individual indecisiveness.

    To be honest the MSPs I want will never be elected or get the chance to implement policies.

    By the same token these we voted no/leave suck it up types do my head in.

    I agree with you every 4 years is probably too often but by the same token those saying we shouldn't get another vote because we lost is equally ridiculous.

    Arrest a few and it will start a riot. You know this. It's about managing and mitigating the situation and ensuring it doesn't turn violent.

    There's a clear difference between 40 middle aged hippies lying on a road, and 5000-odd, mainly young emotional and exuberant football fans.

    Surely lawbreaking is lawbreaking no matter which form it is in?

    So to prevent a situation you should sit back and do nothing?

    5000 people broke Covid regulations and are caught on film.

    Surely there should at least be retrospective arrests for those identified then?

    Ok, I'll shorten it sightly, but I'm only sending the asked question. emoji1787.png

    An electorate votes every 5 years based on the policies of those putting themselves forward to be voted on.

    If the people of Scotland don't want an independence referendum, they wouldn't continue to vote into a majority a party with that as their flagship policy.

    That they do, democratically, should be enough to see it happen. Arguing otherwise, because you don't like that outcome, is arguing against democracy, regardless of your view on any policy, independence included (we could be taking about anything).

    It's literally how democracy works.

    What the result of that referendum might be is irrelevant, as is what the result of any vote might be before it happens.

    But the fact remains, if an electorate returns an independence supporting majority IN ANY ELECTION that is a mandate for a referendum IN THAT PARLIAMENTARY TERM.

    The electorate have decided that, as is their right. It IS NOT the right of an incumbent government, SG included, to decide that for them.

    We can argue that electorates are stupid, that's a different discussion. emoji1787.png But ultimately that's how we decide things, so we shouldn't be able to choose to just not do the things we don't like. That's how Brexit happened. Stupid idea, but the electorate voted for a party who said they'd do it, then voted to do it. Lots of people don't like it, but they have to suck it up, that's how democracy works.

    If you think it was OK the Tories having the Brexit referendum IN THAT PARLIAMENT having been voted in on that mandate and you think any different for any other elected government, regardless of parliament or timescale, thats not a democratic position. It's objection based on a like or dislike of the policy.

     

    Correct until this election I have never voted SNP before.

    I have accepted it is the only way to keep the vile Tories out of Scotland. 

    I also realise by putting my x in their box then I am nominally supporting a referendum.

    also me: the police should baton the shit out of everyone within a 5 mile radius of ibrox stadium today. just in case. really go to town on them.

    There were 5000 law breakers outside Ibrox.

    Not sure why 5 mile radius is mentioned.

    There are 50 cells in Govan

    Fill them and the rest will fo pretty quickly.

    Nope. I did not say baton.

    They have these things called handcuffs maybe try using them.

    I am left wing but that does not mean I break the law.

    What part of 5000 people blatantly breaking the law is ok with you?
