    I've heard about people becoming almost 'addicted' to lows in the way that some folk get addicted to highs.

    i think its more that you think about others more, and other peoples feelings but in your depressed state its only about you.  cheers for pointing out am not crazy saying that

    Scotland v Republic of Ireland

    Maybe he (like me) objects to the circus around the poppy appeal for the exact opposite reason. I have no objection to the principle of supporting a charity that looks after soldiers who've been abandoned by the country they fought for (although I think the government should do that themselves), nor is the idea of remembering the lives of people who died in wars something I'm against. The reason I hate the poppy appeal song and dance is because most of the people who go for it seem to have no care at all for non-Brits who've died over the years in often pointless wars.

    I hear all the time about how we should all respect the lives of our brave soldiers, but where is the British remembrance day for the deaths at the hands of the British empire which was responsible for more deaths than the Nazi's? What about the people who died in Ireland because Britain colonised it and violently tried to hold on to it? Even the potato famine was largely Britain's fault, where is our remembrance day for that? If we're asking each other to be extremely specific, please tell me exactly what you do to show remembrance for all those deaths? I'd bet it's f**k all, and yet you complain that McLean cares more about his countrymen's lives than the Brits? A big trend I've noticed with British nationalists is that they only care about their own, what better example is there than the poppy appeal and the nothing else appeal?

    I never even gave an opinion on McLean as far as I'm aware? I just don't subscribe to the theory that anyone who doesn't wear the poppy is a big, bad evil b*****d. I'd never ever wear one, and whilst I'm giving an opinion on McLean I thought his open letter was a classy way of explaining his side of the story (not that it ever should've needed an explanation).

    I have to agree with this.

    Someone with Italian or Indian family supporting Italy or India wouldn't be sniffed at. I support Scotland over Ireland but I couldn't give less of a shit about others like me supporting Ireland. Folk need to get a fucking grip.

    That's why I used the phrase "hardline". By hardline, I mean cunty.

    Well that post had words in it

    I would like to state on the record that this is a magnificent thread.

    Main Stand being enlarged after the sale of Ian St John and Pat Quinn. The framework shown is the same nowadays and the floating box at the front of the frame is where the TV cameras and commentators go.

    The Knowetop end, that is now the Davie Cooper stand. I can just about remember being able to look over it (from the Main Stand) and see the Ravenscraig works before the new stand was built.

    Apparently the Davie Cooper stand was a scaled down version of the away stand and the architect allegedly forgot to make the front overhang thing smaller and is the same size as the one on the away stand :lol:

    East stand with optional roof seating. All there to see the Pride of Lanarkshire.

    Loving the fact people are watching the game on top of the stand
