cyderspaceman Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 From The Scotsman Neither was there any sign of a comeback for fit-again striker Steven Naismith who was back on Scottish soil following his summer switch from newco Rangers. Can NOBODY get this right? He left Oldco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Buddie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Isn't ginger that other lot? Sorry, let me explain, mibbe "ginger" as used needs translation for our Oriental cousins (in Fife, Dundeh, Eberdeen, Edinburgh, etc), "ginger" in the Wild West is a generic term for fizzy pop, so Coca Cola, Irn Bru, Vimto, own brand lemonade, etc, would all be options in the question "Gonnae gie's a slug o' yir ginger?". It was not meant to refer to the actual tint of the material used to manufacture said glass container.

Or went to school? What school did he go to? Might have a bearing on his judgements in later life..........no, I shouldn't do that, might descend into the kind of pish we had here yesterday...don't bother to answer. According to one very authoritative documentary I saw on the origins of Christianity, he had a very serious speech impediment.

stonedsailor Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Similar to the current government of Syria putting down their rebellion or Egypt etc.? You have to put perspective on it - if you are Scottish then they were freedom fighters. If you are an uneducated colonialist, then I can see how you would view it as something to be excused. Much like your own club, many lowland Scots sold their soul to the English. Rose tinted history forum for this pish. You've been listening to too many Corries' songs, it was a civil war, not a war of independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I hate to disillusion the Orc hordes, but this is unlikely to go the way they hope. Prince Albert did not become King Albert - he became King George VI. It has been mentioned the Price Charles is likely to take the name King George VII after his grandfather. (King Charles I caused the English Civil War and as a result is responsible for the only time that England ever experimented with being a republic, and King Charles II was a closet catholic (NOT a good thing in English politics at that time) and a compulsive womaniser. So there is some informed speculation that he might choose to be King George VII instead (his names are Charles Philip Arthur George.) Seems unlikely Prince William will become King William given the connotations. Why? I thought Wills was a gay icon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely Prince William will become King William given the connotations. Yes, every Charlie has proven a proper Charlie, and every William that's sat on the Westminster throne has found himself involved in some sort of spat involving the church (William the Conqueror, Papal banner at Hastings; William Rufus, accused of occult dabblings; William of Orange, "Glorious Revolution", Papal Banner at The Boyne, unratified Treaty Of Limerick, etc; "Silly Billy" the Fourth, end of the Church Of Ireland's mass tithe fiddling). William V will probably come about simply because Wills and Kate is such a good "brand name" to sell our Royals to the rest of the world. The severe wrong footing that Sinn Fein got from the Queen last year also proved that even in the island of Ireland the whole British monarchy issue isn't as much of the big deal it once was except with an ever shrinking band of wackjobs. Martin McGuinness said mischievously on Question Time a few years back that wouldn't it be funny if he sometime in the future found himself as First Minister Of Northern Ireland shaking hands with a King William directly descended from Charles II (which Wills is, via his mum). If he and Ian Paisley can end up being labelled the Chuckle Brothers, anything's possible - like Rangers going bankrupt and being thrown into Division 3.

Tommytommybrolin Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why are there all these references to religion, Ireland, flags and the monarchy? These have nothing to do with football. It is sad to say that absent any real developments in the thread it has been hijacked by those of a certain persuasion in the Strathclyde region to perpetuate the types of obsessions and attitudes that give the rest of Scotland and Scottish football a bad name. This thread needs to move to the 3rd division or the Sevco-Celtic thread where it now appears to belong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeHectorPar Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 According to today's Herald Ibrox has been declared unfit for Div3 purposes as it has four stands, floodlights, toilets, and a flat pitch. Rubbish! Everyone knows the pitch automatically tilts in Rangers' favour. Plus, 3 stands are to be mothballed, floodlights will be too expensive to use and there will be no staff to clean the bogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
