The entire world knows it's strictly correct to call it the Netherlands, while still using the term Holland. so misunderstanding is pretty unlikely. ?

Holland isn't "in trade talks" with China. Holland is looking for trade opportunities in China. If it finds any, that trade will be conducted strictly in line with EU trade rules. Holland has absolutely no freedom to establish trade agreements with another sovereign state.

You can say that but it wouldn't be correct. Some exert more influence than others but the US has no legal right to the instruments of government in Holland. The EU does. Vassal state doesn't come close.

Holland can't take a single decision with respect to its currency or its trade policies or its borders. All they've left it with is its own language ... as long as it doesn't try to use it outside it's own territory. Govern itself? That's a joke.

Holland doesn't govern itself at all. like all member states, it takes decisions within a narrow framework agreed with and sanctioned by the EU.

Well done for making the effort but ... it's adolescent shite.

Where are all the Gersnet ScotNats? I think a balanced appraisal requires the perspective of the other side. Come on guys, speak up for Susan Aitken, you know you want to.

The key to dealing with the SNP is to force our point into public notice. People like Adam Tomkins are essential in this.

You're right but no one said you can't be Scottish and British. The point is that being SNP certainly makes you anti-British. The SNP is not Scotland, it's merely a bigoted anti-British hate-fest.

Well done to all involved and everyone who contributed.

I think it's time to put the EL in proper context. Financially and for the morale of the club it was important to qualify for the group stage. Now however I think the domestic league has to be our primary focus and the EL is for enjoyment only.

So what do you propose? Drop him from the team and put him on the market? Every player on our books has flaws and from time to time will cost us points. Sure we need to take him to task and do everything we can to change his wilder side but he is what he is. He's a long way from getting sent off as many times as Bud Johnston - and I don't remember anyone want rid of him.

We've been so long in the wilderness, we have a tendency to panic at the slightest problem. How do you solve a problem like Morelos? That's a question for Celtic to answer, if they can.

The only time I've ever had problems with RTV has been at OF games, including once when I never saw any of the game at all - nor did I see any apology or explanation.

I think Hampden suits Scottish football. Both are on their last legs, seen better days and have little future.

Good morning DMAA. I think there's a difference between challenging the media and building a record of their bias, as you mention, and some of the posts I've read that seem to suggest (pointlessly) seeking a reconciliation with the likes of the BBC. As I said in my post, I'm all for taking on these bastards. What I don't feel comfortable with is fans proposing a compromise or "settlement" that effectively gives credence to their conduct, because we somehow "need" the BBC. I don't think we do. This is a marvellous topic, one of the first I look for. Mostly it doesn't involve "whining" and so long as it remains as entertaining and informative as 26th presents it, I'm the better for reading it. But that's not the same as saying I think we should be sitting down with the BBC to find a resolution - which I think was what I was trying to describe as whining. I should try to be clearer but sometimes posts are made in a rush.

Correct. Instead of whining about how badly we're treated and fretting over how we might persuade the BBC to look on us more favourably, we should be stepping up our efforts on and off the pitch. A successful Rangers lording it over Celtic is the best revenge we could ever get. Until then we should be taking every opportunity to ridicule the PQ mob, both as a club and as a support.

Couple of months ago I'd never hard of Osijek. Now it's my favourite shopping venue.

It's already not that ?

Pleased to see only one Rangers player will be denied a much-needed rest. Otherwise, utter disinterest.

Who cares where a player comes from, what his nationality, colour or religion is? I only care whether or not he is available at a reasonable price and has the skills and commitment to make a positive contribution to Rangers.

If you vote for the SNP you can have no complaints when they show their sectarian credentials. The SNP hates Rangers and those Rangers fans who delude themselves by voting for the SNP are an embarrassment to themselves and a liability to Rangers. By all means be a brainwashed fool, just don't pollute the Rangers support with your stupidity.

It will come. Very few organisations are turned around overnight and fewer still reach their peak without setbacks. The key to success is knowing where you want to get to and continually applying pressure in that direction. It will come ... but the support needs to learn to be part of the journey and stop bickering every time there's a bump in the road.

This is getting into dangerous territory but .... I agree completely.
