St Johnstone 1-0 up v the blue half of the infirm after 30 mins.

What happened to your live updates?

Oh aye and how did your mugs go this week?

Your lot were lucky.Very lucky.St Johnstone deserved a point at least out of that game.

lol. You will be getting called Arab Harper if you keep that commentary up.  8) If you open your other eye you will see Papac's goal was one of quality

Here's a question for our Scottish friends... why are Celtic and Rangers referred to as the Old Firm?

The nickname 'The Old Firm' originated during the early year of the 20th century when the clubs began to dominate Scottish football and the term in part referred to the financial benefits associated with their frequent meetings.

Good result for us,2-0 win away at Aberdeen.Pity our home form doesn't match the away form......we'd be top of the SPL if it did  :-\

Good draw for Hibs at Ibrox and good to see them go there and try to win.

Celtic and especially Rangers are vulnerable atm imo and if more teams like us and Hibs had the confidence to go to Parkhead and Ibrox and take the game to them instead of sitting back hoping for a draw we'd have a far more interesting SPL.They'd still dominate but it'd be a lot closer.

In Div 1 the filth from down the road have gone to the top for the first time this season.After 5 or 6 seasons in Div 1 it finally looks as if they might be getting their act together.Derby matches for us next season ? Good if it happens but also a laugh if it doesn't.

Win win situation really !  ;D

Video from the early 80's when it was Rangers policy.

The only thing missing from the second video is the scout walks back in and tells him he has another player. Rikki says it cannae bae worse than a catholic. The door opens and in walks an Englishman!!

How did you go with your dilema Arab?

 

[David Votoupal]

When Rangers and Celtic were losing their grip on Scottish football while Dundee United and Aberdeen were in the ascendency in the 80s, the reasons were pretty obvious.

Both Rangers and Celtic were by that time horribly antiquated clubs, run by clique boards who were out of touch with modern football- basically the same groups who had controlled the respective clubs since foundation-and the fact that by that time football was becoming more and more a dynamic business. Sure enough, Celtic continued to win trophies in the 80s, including the double in their centennary year, but all it really did was paper over the cracks.

That's where Graeme Souness and David Murray stepped in, and modernised Rangers. Celtic on the other hand were in serious boardroom turmoil culminating in the near-bankruptcy of the club by 1994, before Fergus McCann stepped in and even then it took some time before they finally broke Rangers' stranglehold.

Rangers were progressively less impressive in the last years of 9 in a row, even with Gascoigne and Laudrup. Some of the football the played was dire, and being regularly shown up in Europe too at a time when it was easier for clubs outside the big 4 or 5 leagues to get far.

And hence, I never rated Walter Smith and never wanted him to manage Everton- God it was such a depressing time to be a Toffee under his watch!

Good story this and sums up what being a football supporter should be all about.......

The storys been all over the DUFC boards.Apparently one of the guys owns a pub in Spain and speaks a little Spanish so he did the communicating.......they even got a photo of him drinking Tenants lager and eating a haggis supper lol (haggis in batter for the uneducated)!!

 

[Arabmariner]

Game against the blue soap dodgers abandoned at half time with us 1-0 down.

How the f**k they went in one up anyway I'll never know.........well I do actually......we hit the bar twice,missed a couple of sitters and played them off the park.

Then in steps the Infirm football association appointed ref and awards a 10 yards offside goal to them.

Not quite sure who got off the hook here!

 

[Teddy Bear]

You need to take those orange tinted glasses off. Davis was level when the ball was played through. Great to see a linesman get it right and actually keep his flag down when its close.

I'm guessing you were clapping the lineswoman's decision against Mrdja on Saturday night. 

 

[Sym]

Why was it abandoned ?

 

[Teddy Bear]

The tears of the 200 Dunder Utd fans water logged the pitch plus the rain didn't help either.

 

[Arabmariner]

2-0 away at Killie (bogey team no more)

4-0 to CCM aswell.

Life is good for another week

Look, I don't mind Celtic, but seriously - show some f*cking respect and leave your secretarian bullshit out out it.  The rememberance may well have been taking place in Britain, but it's a memorial to all those fallen in war.  Grow up.

 

[Arabmariner]

Wasting your breath Serious.

Prats.
