  1. They are really feeling the pressure now. Hoped for this result but didn't expect it.
  2. As I said to another poster, maybe it's better to deliberately spoil your vote. That at least sends a message.
  3. You could deliberately spoil your paper; that sends a message whereas not actually voting just means the buggers get re-elected anyway. And it is your democratic right.
  4. I think that's all the members of the first Rangers team I ever saw live now departed for the Hall of Fame in the sky.😢
  5. What's in a name? Quite a lot apparently. Some may think this perverse, but I think they should have kept Hitler's birthplace open; we cannot rewrite the past but future generations should show history in all its aspects, good and bad. In fact, I think history should be a compulsory subject.
  6. Yes. I thought Clemente would be good at improving our set pieces. Maybe we need to work at sclaffing a few in!
  7. I agree that the Covenanters should not be airbrushed out of history; much like the Oxford martyrs were burned because of their beliefs. Religion has visited some cruelties upon us no doubt. What I can't quite get my head around is how a religion can be wrong when religion depends on faith and belief.
  8. Here's a synopsis of "Pride and Prejudice": posh girl meets posh guy; she's not interested in him till she sees his house - then she falls for him.
  9. Back on topic, The furore about a cafe says everything about misplaced modern sensibilities. Nothing wrong with a Jacobite Cafe AND a redcoat one. It's history, simple as.
  10. Some of the Mcintoshes were on opposing sides: Ann was a Jacobite but hubby was for George. As you say he's not a doctor of history. A little learning...
  11. Baffles me. The Jacobite Rebellion was more of a civil war than a Scot-Eng thing, with some highlanders on the govt. side. Neil Oliver did a good documentary which I saw recently on PBS America.
  12. Yes. If you're talking about ice hockey.
  13. This idea comes from the prawn-sandwich munchers who have no real conception of the game. I once met a middle class 'fan'. I asked which team he supported. "Oh, I support all teams really," he quoth. No idea of partisanship.
  14. Well, Rangers could do with a 'snapper-up of unconsidered trifles'. Who is the agent for Autolycus?
  15. Was that the old Fairs Cup in 1969? I take it by 'bear' you don't mean a furry animal?🤣
  16. Yes, but do you think Souttar would have been outpaced and out-muscled as easily? Sometimes there's not much you can do and you have to give credit to the forward. I'd like to see Dessers do that to somebody.
  17. Don't care how we win tonight but my favourite way would be for Shinnie to give away a penalty and be sent off for the foul, leaving Tav to give us a 1-0.
