  1. SFA certainly think highly of themselves
  2. It's dragged on so much I've nearly lost interest
  3. I'm sure we can use every penny we can get
  4. And what good has rising above their level ever done us in the past? To get anywhere we have to fight back with the same tactics, maybe sad but very much true
  5. If he gets the loan repaid what else is he likely to do?
  6. At the very least he shouldn't be considered for a role on a select committee
  7. There is a lot of brainwashing within the SNP vote, the election of that embarrassment in Paisley is all the proof required.
  8. John Reid and George Galloway were and still are despicable people. I do respect them more than separatists though.
  9. I'll take one guess at how you voted last week. Any Rangers fan defending that is obviously of the SNP brainwashed variety.
  10. Sweden and Denmark at Euro 2004 would be a more relevant comparison
  11. Hibs were ahead in the Euro place on goal difference but it was still assailable if I remember right, they weren't keen to attack too much and potentially let us score anymore. 3 points was enough for us, hence why the game got played out late on.
  12. Possibly but we'll get no-where if we don't even attempt this kind of thing
  13. Taken from elsewhere: All those who should be contacted, contact details: - standardscommissioner@parliament.uk - Kathryn Hudson: hundsonk@parliament.uk - Gwen Harrison: harrisongj@parliament.uk - cmscom@parliament.uk - Rt Hon David Cameron MP (10 Downing Street, London, SW12 2AA). - Rt Hon David Mundell MP: david@davidmundell.com - Your local MP TEMPLATE TO BE USED: Dear , Unfortunately, I feel it is of upmost importance as my civic duty to complain so early in the new Parliament about a newly elected SNP MP, Brendan O’Hara. It may or may not be known to you that during the run-up to the General Election this year, he was found out to have used a derogatory, sectarian term on a public forum against a group, depicting Glasgow Rangers fans as ‘H***’, which received extensive media coverage as detailed below: - http://www.express.c...would-be-SNP-MP - http://www.therst.co...-brendan-ohara/ - http://www.heraldsco...er-us.124710295 - http://forargyll.com...-snp-candidate/ Using the word ‘h**’ in the derogatory manner in which he used it could be interpreted as a criminal breach of the ‘Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012’ which is punishable under Scots Law. I also believe his actions to be in serious breach of the Members of Parliament ‘code of conduct’ under the following areas: ‘6. Members have a general duty to act in the interests of the nation as a whole; and a special duty to their constituents.7. Members should act on all occasions in accordance with the public trust placed in them. They should always behave with probity and integrity, including in their use of public resources. IV. General Principles of Conduct 8. In carrying out their parliamentary and public duties, Members will be expected to observe the following general principles of conduct identified by the Committee on Standards in Public Life in its First Report as applying to holders of public office.[1] These principles will be taken into account when considering the investigation and determination of any allegations of breaches of the rules of conduct in Part V of the Code. "Selflessness Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. Integrity Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might influence them in the performance of their official duties. Objectivity In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit. Accountability Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office. Openness Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands. Honesty Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest. Leadership Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example." V. Rules of Conduct 9. Members are expected to observe the following rules and associated Resolutions of the House. 10. Members shall base their conduct on a consideration of the public interest, avoid conflict between personal interest and the public interest and resolve any conflict between the two, at once, and in favour of the public interest’ For these reasons I do not believe O’Hara to be fit and proper to serve as an impartial representative in the best interests of all in his constituency or the wider UK electorate as a whole and should either be invited to stand down triggering a by-election or sacked with immediate effect triggering a by-election. I have recently been lead to believe that he is keen to apply for the Culture, Media and Sports Committee. Using derogatory terms like ‘h**’ to describe football fans following a particular team means he will not be able to make impartial decisions or give impartial evidence on the committee by holding such bigoted public views. To retain the integrity of the Parliament I believe any request from him to join the Committee should be rejected for the aforementioned valid reasons. I do hope that you are aware of the severity of this situation and that you will act accordingly on behalf withholding the integrity of the British Parliamentary system. Yours Sincerely,
  14. McCoist and McCulloch dear god
  15. Something like a prawn cocktail or potato skins would be great. Don't want to come across as fussy!
  16. Bit off-topic but I'm surprised he hasn't travelled back for the play-offs.
  17. Not been able to get on here much lately but I will come along to this one if still possible
  18. I'd have put Ferguson in ahead of Wallace based on his form until we gained this momentum, now obviously wouldn't be the time for drastic changes. But still what's the harm in having an extra body when he's registered to play for us already? Someone could break a leg the next game for all we know.
  19. The belief seems to be that he wasn't allowed to achieve anything
  20. And even then he's scored three goals
