buster.

PSG in real danger of finishing 3rd in their group. They won't fancy their chances at Ibrox in Feburary !

If you refer to SDI wrt repeatedly getting beaten....they aren't.

That would be an expensive waste of time. It looks more like it's SDI that we can't manage to shake.

At least you are getting more inventive in your weekly offering of the same advice

We've been in a difficult snooker ever since we signed the agreement of spring 2017.

What I think it will be for Thursday......... McGregor Tav Goldson Worrall Flanagan Jack Coulibally Ejaria Candeias Kent Morelos

I'm not getting into the nuts and bolts of that on this thread, Scott. Suffice to say that they are both formidable in terms of lobbying influence/power. They'd both be in the upper half of Pot 1 !

Sounds encouraging but at the sametime we need the teams that start the next two games to be fully at it from the get-go.

Probably. However, the whole issue does need some kind of shake because they carry on regardless and a shocking catchphrase if widely presented and explained as being used to promote awareness and a need for meaningful action then just maybe it could catch-on. Imagine a press conference with hundreds of victims from all corners of the globe sat behind a series of prominent speakers who would command attention from the media. All victims wearing a T-Shirt with 'F**k the Pope' (not the actual word Fuck) or some other such phrase. -------------- What seriously threatens the Israeli government policy isn't Hamas, it's the B.D.S. campaign. ie. to take on the really powerful lobbies and get some form of justice/fairplay,.... you need to take them away from their comfort zone. I use the Israeli example because I think along with the RC Church, you have two of the most powerful three such blocks that exist.

You don't seem to be able to understand much and if what you write were representative of a political stance, it'd die still born.

I must have missed an International campaign against the RC church and how it engages in industrial scale child rape that has adopted FTP as a recognised catchphrase. An effort to shock, grab attention and highlight an ongoing disgrace that doesn't get proportionate coverage. If that was the case, I could understand your stance on this. However, going back to the core issue of this thread.....Ian Durrant used the FTP at a supporters function and when highlighted in the media, instead of using the platform to state a position of protest against the RC church for the afore-mentioned, he apoligised, quote... “I’d like to apologise for my comment at a recent sportsman’s dinner event in Lanarkshire. I meant to cause no offence to anyone.”.......He isn't on the same page as you seem to have latched on to....(because of song ?) If the media hear it sung by our support, they'll describe it as 'offensive add-ons' and won't mention a protest against Industrial child rape. In this, general perceptions are of course, often shaped by the media and it's reporting of x or y. When either of the above happens, you have Nil by Mouth appearing and quickly putting the boot in so as to re-enforce any neutral opinion as to the offensiveness of remarks, link it to sectarianism and we hear nothing about industrial scale child rape. It's you that plays nice with the pontiff if your angle of attack is to to shout FTP because you'll be easily dismissed as a bigot. The difficulty of taking on the RC church and it's extensive power/influence is very high and I don't have a silver bullet. The best way might well be the victims of child abuse themselves forming an international coalition of some sort and looking for general support. Public figures speaking openly about it helps, eg. Stephen Fry's eloquent and passionate talk at a debating programme on the BBC. Had Fry finished with a shout of FTP, it would have been understood by those posh folk in the audience as being in context and justiified...........If you or Ian Durrant are caught on film saying it, you'll be on the front page of the Daily Record.

White Smoke At The Rock by Stephen Watt, DFC Poet in Residence. -------- Interesting concept It sort of gives a football club an indirect artistic license to communicate in a way that could of occasion force home a point of view or observation that may be difficult to censure.

You just don't get it, do you ? Might aswell talk to a brick wall.

Tell me how it helps ?

It's nothing to do with their sensibilities, it's about shooting yourself in the foot. If it makes you feel better, look in a mirror at home and shout FTP all you want (make sure any children aren't filming you) but when you want to challenge the RC church on their part in Industrial scale child rape, better to keep to the point (unless it's in an art form such as a song or painting).

The Tims would love us to keep shouting FTP.

The King of Ibrox Park was good enough to score four goals in the first match I ever attended. Him and Sandy Jardine were my first two heroes.

It doesn't matter what you or anyone else using the term thinks. The fact is that by doing so you make it much easier for our detractors/RC Church to point the finger at whoever it is saying FTP and shout 'bigot'. If you want to address the diegraceful issue of industrial scale child rape, then attempt to push those responsible into a corner rather than opening the door for them to leave.

I don't think it the best way to put your point accross unless you want to give them an easy out.

Thanks for your efforts lads, much appreciated !

That Hibs game certainly tests a theory that I tend to agree with in most cases.

Misc. useless fact I think he was manager of the team (Valencia) when we last took a point from a CL group stage home game.

Reliable as ever, Bill ! I see you are doing more of what you usually shout about,...ignoring me. But then Mr Walking Contradiction has a reputation to maintain. Whilst in the same post, helping to prove an observation I made about you a few weeks ago.....that you are yourself, often exactly what you are calling others out for. In this case "pathetic" has to be pretty much what you'd call your attemped dig towards me. Pathetic Walking Contradiction (PWC)...have you anymore room to fit that in with the description below your username, that incidently you must have happened upon whilst doing some of that contradictory ignoring of me.

Who knows ? Mibbes she knew, mibbes she didnae. The most relevant part of this for me is getting Lafferty back on the rails wrt football, or perhaps that should be preventing him go off them.
