Frankie 8,151 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Today on the main site, The Crimson Forehead (don't ask!) makes his writing début. Can't be often someone like Thomas More is quoted as an authority on Scottish football but his historic words do see strangely salient. Enjoyed best using the formatting nuances of the main site. http://www.gersnet.co.uk/index.php/news-category/current-affairs/788-thomas-more-s-utopian-blues 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Potent stuff. The best read I've had on the ongoing farce of sporting integrity for a long time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,473 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The Crimson Forehead, love it. You won't read a better piece on Rangers or Scottish football this month. There are some superb lines in that. Well done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,836 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I hope the Crimson Forehead will prove to be a Man for all Seasons? Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I hadn't heard the phrase Crimson Forehead before. After googling it, I wish that was still the case. Edited August 8, 2017 by Bluedell 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,429 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 When I read of these epistolarians and bloggers, official, semi official, completely unofficial, and the corps of fellow travelling football writers, I can think only that Shakespeare, unsurprisingly, has each and every one of them nailed (and in The Scottish Play, forbye): Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,429 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We've certainly suffered the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.' See what you've started? MacBeth was clearly a dhim. MacBeth: Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart? Doctor: Therein the patient Must minister to himself. MacBeth: Throw physic to the dogs; I'll none of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
