Oh Catherine! Remember, you sing, "we don't care what the animals say". Thus, why does it annoy you so? Of course, not forgetting your personal proclamation on Twitter, 'a Philotherian'. You are an animal lover who doesn't care what the animals say!

Here's my inquiry? Can I have a seat at Ibrox where I have uninterupted views of the sash patterned pitch, a guarantee that no one will be eating eggs benedict, pepperami is not for sale, and no players will soil the sash patterned pitch replete in green boots?

If no one other wants to do the Premiership opener at Fir Park, can I volunteer?

Both Naismith and Whittaker were secondary and tertiary symptoms of the primary cancer that was David Murray.There are tens of thousands of us suffering because of that bastard.

I began a thread on both these possible signings last week. Pushing both over the line is an absolute, it could be the difference on midweek winter evenings in Dingwall, Dundee, .... etc. I fear a similar conclusion to the Scott Allan drama.

I am all for SuperBroxi, provide him with a cape and a big chib. Then, start him up front. We need something, desperately.

I was in Villarreal and FARE targeted our club and supporters. Admittedly, some of our support are desperate to provide FARE with all the evidence required. In Villarreal the problems were organisational, improper stewarding and almost no policing outside the ground, where a myriad of tight streets converged. Inside, all parts of the ground were peppered with groups of Bears. Generally, it was akin to attending Rugby Park. The Yellow Submarine(Villarreal's supporters grouping) had a big friendship thing going with the Yahoos at the time, they had pumped MON's side a couple of seasons previously. A number of reciprocal articles had been published in each club's respective publications, reciprocal visits were organised. We found out FARE were sending an observer because the usual Yahoo suspects had painted them a picture of armaggedon. Rangers supporters were informed NOT to attempt to find the identity of the wholly neutral observer, we were to accept, "he is a sound guy". The Observer's report was damning, he appeared to witness several incidents at the same time inside and outside the ground. The club was fined, we won on appeal, then lost as UEFA appealed. Spiers was crushed on BBC Scotland when the first appeal announcement was made. He knew the neutral observer, "he was a sound guy". It took a decade, but we eventually found out the neutral observer was BBC Alba commentator, Alex O'Henley. At the time, Barra born and bred O'Henley was the Football Writer for the West Highland Free Press. Yep, that WHFP owned by Brian Wilson MP. Yep, that Brian Wilson MP who was/is a Director of ra Sellik. I urge my fellow Bears to support the club and maintain their discipline; however, we and the club must convince UEFA that FARE is not neutral. Ra Sellik have received a dozen straight fines from UEFA, what have FARE said?

"Hearts are a model club". A Pacific Quay mantra these last three years.

The journo involved is Kenny Millar, a BIG TIME Hibby. He is a regular on Cosgrove/Cowan, never misses an opportunity to have a kick at all things Rangers. Alex Rae must be more selective in future dealings with the print media.

Oh Joe, say it ain't so! We have heard those alligations of Joe being labelled, 'Sticky Fingers Miller'; sadly, we have to add, 'False Memory Syndrome' , or maybe Joe just headed the ball too much?

I will not be attending, I am in French froggy France. My heart will be in attendance. Anyways, BBC Scotland have already done the job for Rangers. On Saturday, before leaving, I listened to Angela Haggerty, Cosgrove,Annie McGuire, Jum Spence, and Spiers. All threw in their tuppence worth about Rangers, Rangers supporters, Pedro, and Dave King. Cosgrove and McGuire discussed the Reformation; Annie didn't think it was a good thing, and Stuart revealed John Knox was euphemism for the pox. Indeed, Saturday was several hours of a sniggerfest. Well, Cosgrove warned us a few months past on John Beattie's Media Review. He shares the weekly duty on a Thursday lunchtime for an hour with Eamonn O'Neill. Beattie asked if anyone had ever met the newly appointed Director General of BBC Scotland? Cosgrove answered, "I have met her on several occasions. I have got to say I like her, like her a lot". Donalda MacKinnon 's first actions were to bring Jum Spence back as a full time employee and okay Angela Haggerty's ivolvement as a panellist across the board ie politics, sport, current affairs, ....etc. If you hate Rangers, you have demonstrated it, and played the vicTIM card in the immediate wake; then, BBC Scotland is the place to be.

Aberdeen just want Kenny McLean to feel comfortable whilst playing his last few months with the club.

Maybe, it's the conditioning of my professional life ie no plan survives the first round fired. I would be delighted to secure three points from the first game at Fir Park, then take it from there.

Oh dear, the Record apes the Sun, 'It was us what won it'. Still, at least the Record are reporting the happenings of the last few days; whereas BBC Radio Scotland have ignored events.

We should run a sweep. The Daily Record has a commercial agreement with ra Sellik, they print and distribute both ra Sellik's match day programme and ra Sellik View. When will we see the tipping point ie sales of ra Sellik's publications are greater than the Daily Record's circulation?

Mad Joe made a specific wish in print that it was a pity more of those who had built the Titanic had not sailed on her maiden voyage. A couple of hundred Harland and Wolff workers were on the ship to deal with expected snagging problems. O'Rourke was reported to the Police and was warned as to future conduct. If ra Sellik or indeed, the Sellik Supporters Association sanctioned him, we have NOT been told. Linfield supporters should put Joe's exact words on a banner and draw wider attention to O'Rourke's vile sectarianism. Further, does anyone know the identity of the Sun journo responsible for this piece, please inform. Given O'Rourke's wish reference shipyard workers on the Titanic, a ship built in a Belfast company's yard; why is that fact NOT included in the piece?

Reference change. Why don't we have an end of season award, a singular recognition to the journo/celebrity/politician that elicits the most gratuitous stream of pysh in support of ra Sellik? Numerous contenders falling over themselves to be seen, to be ticking that particular box. It's a wide spectrum; from blawing Peter's cheese to those determined to eternally swim in the warm waters of vicTIMhood. I propose we collate each and every submission throughout the season and all Gersnetters get to vote on the selected top three/five. There will be an appropriate award issued to mark the winning hyperbole . I offer the YO-PEE(Yahoo Oozing Pysh) award. Obviously, the longer the stream of pysh, the longer the tail of 'Es'. Tom English would be a 'YO-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'.

We will start the season away from home, Tynecastle is out because of ongoing construction of their new Main Stand(I believe it will be the last weekend in September before the Hertz can accommodate a home fixture). Hibs are due an opening home game because they are Championship winners; thus, I predict we will begin at Easter Road. Pittodrie and ra Stydome are out because we played first on their sods in the first quarter of last season. I wonder what instructions Peter has issued to Stuart?

I am becoming a tad anxious over the proposed transfers of both Dorrans and Walker. It seems we have been actively pursuing both for over a month. All noises are positive, even this morning I have heard very positive anecdotal musings from an excellent source reference both players. I feel we need Graham Dorrans and Jamie Walker; potentially the difference between a one all draw and a 1-2 victory, up at Dens on a wet and windy Tuesday night in February. Along with Alves, they add much needed solidity to our spine. The anxiety stems from our protracted and ultimately unsuccessful chase of Scott Allan. His ability to both see, and make a pass would have improved Warburton's team considerably. Then, Allan was making passes that hurt the opposition. Our forward players would have been massive beneficiaries. I believe we would have won the Scottish Cup last year, if Allan had started in our midfield. If the monies were not there, then thems the breaks. The nature of the chase, the several offers, and Allan's ultimate destination left a scar. I hope I am wrong, but I fear the signs on both Dorrans and Walker are looking very similar.

I agree, there is most certainly a story to be told. Regularly, he battered Tom English on matters Rangers. Then, Cosgrove began the mantra that Rangers supporters only listened to Richard Wilson. I suspect Wilson is a victim of BBC Scotland's on going policy of careful hate for all things Rangers?

Bravo Joe! I would happily make a contribution to the Fundraising site that sees you whisked off to your favourite big African river, 'de nial' and allow you to swim with the crocodiles.

When McInnes left St Johnstone to take control of Bristol City, he returned to Scotland for 7-8 players. After initially saving City from relegation, his second season saw him unable to save Bristol from the mire. The fans blamed his signings, not up to the mark being the perceived wisdom. Will Derek return to Aberdeen for any signings, possibly McLean or Hayes?

Reference MOH. I suspect we might find a more effective player if we changed his starting position in each phase of play? Like Templeton back in the day, MOH receives the ball too high up the pitch, there is very little space to exploit and not enough space to fully utilise his obvious pace. The wing back option may have some merit; however, I think the majority of balls from defence and cross field diagonals should look to find MOH ten yards either side of the halfway line. He is on life support because his performances when given opportunity last season, were poor.

I remember Tam arriving at the club. His transfer from Motherwell was confusing to say the least. He had been Well's defensive midfielder; indeed, he had been the recipient of several Scottish League caps as a midfielder. I seem to remember a post season Scottish League tour of Russia, Forsyth playing in all three games. Jock Wallace proved correct, big Tam morphed into an outstanding centre half, Dave Smith as sweeper was his equal. The whole raw meat/shire horse pysh emanated from envious Yahoos, Tommy Doc' being a fine example.

Regan and Lawwell were former work mates at Coors. Further, there is history of a long friendship between Peter and Regan's brother, who is a senior lecturer in Irish studies at Durham University.
