But had McDonald scored that goal and they had won the game, we wouldn't hear a dickie bird.

Sums up the situation well. There ain't no level playing field.

Good point. Had forgotten about that.

My hearing is not the best, but it sounded to me as if the version being mainly sung did not contain the word "famine".

The best kind of source.

or the 2 IRA-related banners that appeared at Ibrox at the last OF game? or the pro-IRA songs sung at Celtic's previous game in Inverness etc etc.

Perhaps we should send one to Buckingham Palace to add to their collection?

How did you do that, Jon? The website wouldn't allow me to copy.

I didn't think they were that bad. An improvement on previous displays. Are we so keen to slag off the (Union Bears?) display at the last OF game at Ibrox?

Sorry about the quality of the attachment. Admin, can anything be done about it? Otherwise, you'll need to click on the link.

Celtic were born to keep RCs away from Protestants. Born of bigotry would be more correct. It's interesting to hear what Hibs think about Celtic's beginnings. "The very being of Hibernian was that every penny earned went to charitable causes. Celtic had undertaking no such principles." http://www.hibs.co.uk/news/more.php?id=A956_0_1_0_M

2 minutes, 7 minutes. Easy mistake to make.

Given Van der Sar didn't play yesterday, I presume he has therefore NOT broken Chris Wood's record of 1196 in ALL competitions.

Had a wee look. The financial guy is just living in hope, and not basing his assumptions on anything realistic. Agreed. Haven't bought that rag, or its sister paper in years.

I really think that could work well.

It was printed in the Herald on 27 Jan, I believe.

Let's do it for her tomorrow.

Or left and came back?

Done, although how anyone can think that Larsson's goal is anywhere near Cooper's is beyond me.

Gives the Rangers 18 man squad but doesn't give any other team news. Poor show, Chick. :admin:

Boyd is obviously our most consistent goal-scorer. I'm not convinced about Weir this season though and we could really have done with getting a replacement in the recent window.

He's a focal point of the team and does have an influence as to how we play. Another focal point is Weir, and his lack of speed means the defence can't push up as much which restricts the midfield as well, and would have a similar impact on the team's performance. It's very much a subjective thing and I can't prove it one way or another. I'm not even sure it's a viewpoint I'd hang my hat on. Just raising it as a possibility and a discussion point.

It could be argued that we play better as a team when Boyd isn't playing so the goals may come from places that they don't currently as more movement up front may give the midfielders more opportunities.

"JJB Sports , the sportswear retailer, said its lenders had agreed to extend until March 16 the terms of a bank deal struck in December subject to the progress it makes on the sale of its Fitness Clubs unit. JJB owes HBOS , Barclays and Kaupthing about 60 million pounds and entered into a standstill agreement with the three banks on December 10 and extended to February 12 in January. The extension now allows JJB to dispose of its Fitness Clubs business, proceeds from which could pay off most of its debt. At this point the lenders would then discuss JJB's requirements for permanent financial facilities. JJB said on Tuesday it had received several non-binding indications of interest in its Fitness Clubs business. It also said on Tuesday it had filed an intention to put its lossmaking shoe chains Qubefootwear and Original Shoe Company (OSC) into administration, which together make up the group's 77-store Lifestyle division. KPMG will be appointed as administrator of both companies unless a last minute buyer is found. Stripped of its Fitness Clubs and Lifestyle divisions JJB would be left with a core sportswear retail business." Looks like we could be keeping JJB for a while yet.

Yes, a brain haemorrhage.
