    singing

    Assuming of course that it was a rangers supporter.
  4. well said!!!
  5. You're too young for golfing!
  6. Au revoir et bonne chance, Fernando - ne jamais revenir.
  7. bien fait RST.
  8. i cant believe it took two people to write it though.
  9. nbm are so blatantly corrupt. they should be ashamed.
  10. i agree with you gazza, actually. whats the difference between chelsea and celtic? one is obviously more of a rival, but only by degree.
  11. agreed!! i like the idea that "on our day" we can win in style. thats something we haven't had in a while.
  12. I'm not the biggest fan of international football, to be honest - I've got no real interest in Scotland, so definitely Rangers for me.
  13. I thought Prso looked pretty jaded against Motherwell although his goal was obviously superb. Its amazing that with such little cash, and relatively little time, PLG has transformed the squad into such a state where it almost seems like there is cover for every position -- now especially upfront where we were so lacking last season. This obviously comes from having a fixed formation and idea of how to play, but PLG doesn't strike me as the kind of manager who will change for change's skae - so I think he'll probably start with the same eleven.
  14. The SFA crack me up. They really do. This whole think stinks - reactionary moralists. I know, I know, its about how we react now - but this whole things just so fascist.
  15. Agreed - can't believe Hutton is getting a bit of a hard time. He's a powerful right back who has been a stand out player against Celtic over the last few seasons when he's played. Just needs a good run of games to get back to full fitness and sharpness.
  16. LOL! barry
  17. I agree, the RCC couldn't be further from the truth on quite a lot of things, I think. Perhaps historically there has been some issue between the masons and hte church regarding plots and what not, but certainly not nowadays, from what i know of the freemasons.
  18. I dont think its an issue of pedantry - what we are discussing here is ignorance, and I think misrepresenting religious organisations just adds to the problem. It is only for the media, and some celtic supporters, that no difference between organisations like the freemasons and the orange order exists. And I still dont agree with the idea that there is no fundamental difference between plastic orangemen and plastic paddies. Providing support for the orange order is not, and never can be, like supporting terrorists like the IRA. Of course, support for the UVF etc is the same, but I think the generalisations on the whole issue are part of the problem. Unfortunately, too many people enact there being no difference between the UVF and the Orange Order, which, I suppose, is why things are in this state.
  19. surely even from a financial perspective doing something like this would be good business for rangers. investing in sheets for words etc may save the club in the long run from fines etc. as an aside, it seems that the RCC's position on freemasonry isn't as rosy as I had thought. there's been some ambiguity over the years but the ancient precedent seems to be "Persons joining associations of the Masonic sect or any others of the same kind which plot against the Church and legitimate civil authorities contract ipso facto excommunication simply reserved to the Apostolic See.". But the RCC's a lot more liberal on these things nowadays.
  20. good point. but i think the ultimate responsibility lies with the fans. we're responsible for our own keep, as it were. and thanks craig - its good to be back.
  21. i still think jab is a good player. he had a hard time in the premiership, but thats been true of a lot of good players.

    Setanta

    my dad just got 25 quid back off setanta for offering a new deal for customers the day after he joined. not too shabby.
  23. Good, then we can lay the plastic masonry thing to rest. As for it making the singers of it "plastic orangemen", then possibly. But an orangemen is something you can be, with legitimate cause, in Scotland. There are a great deal of Scottish orangemen who are good Christians and not at all interested in bigotry. Its doubtful, though, whether they would be interested in singing the sash - but there's nothing inherently wrong with it. As for the comment on the masons, that is typical reactionary catholicism in scotland. I know that there are a great deal of catholics in european countries who are masons and this is true right through the ages. Quite typical of scotland to be a microcosm of all the bad in these organisations.
  24. The sash has absolutely nothing to do with masonry, which is a secret society for members of all religions (and, indeed, non-religions).
