  1. If there’s a God up there, please can you send Dundee Utd into administration.
  2. The investment needed to re-establish Arsenal as a top four club grows every year and is now probably beyond their resources. The others are hardly going to stand still to accommodate Arsenal. There are years of rebuilding ahead of them. So sad.
  3. According the BBC weather forecast it’s unlikely there will be more than light snow by tomorrow evening
  4. For me the issue is whether pressure can be exerted and how Celtic will cope with it. Personally I think their squad looks increasingly flat and demotivated. We would need to get within three points of them and probably also give them a beating, at which point the panic would be tangible. The problem for us is getting there.
  5. There was me thinking you said "all humans". Oh, so you did.
  6. That's Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Mao and HiroHito forgiven then. Absolution?
  7. It would be very interesting to see how this Celtic team would cope with the pressure if Rangers was in close contention. I think it would be very different from coasting 20 points out in front with no pressure on them at all as they've done for much of the last 18 months.
  8. When did he apologise? Wouldn't have been when he wanted to head back to Scotland would it?
  9. One of the few things in Scottish football that will give me pleasure is seeing Dundee Utd continue to wallow in the Championship for a few more seasons. A truly horrible club.
  10. Sorry, I refuse to just sweep what happened back in 2012 under a carpet of convenience. I said then I'd never forget or forgive and I'll stick to that. This is a topic that would have been better never started, since all it seems to want is special treatment for the deserter Naismith, who showed no interest in our club until he needed a job. I won't be going with booing in mind but wouldn't hesitate if he gave any excuse.
  11. Fighting between Spartak Moscow and Athletic fans leaves police officer dead in Bilbao. Football isn't worth this, they should abandon the entire competition this season.
  12. As a club and as a support we could generate some much-needed goodwill by responding in the right way to this gesture from Fraserburgh.
  13. Good points but I imagine the money (corporate advertisers, TV companies) will follow them when they go. However you label the elite group, they're only elite because of their value as corporate brand-props. And however you reconstruct what's left, it will remain in the poorhouse unless new sources of major funding can be found. Without oodles of income there's a real danger of football becoming a sport again.
  14. I've always thought the idea of an "Atlantic League" was more about style than substance. Why would any alternative to the existing UEFA competitions want to exclude teams from Belgrade, Greece, Italy, France, etc? Is the Atlantic League proposal suggesting that Scottish, Scandinavian and Benelux countries would be excluded from the Champions League and Europa League in order to compete in this new competition? Or would they enter both? Surely what's needed is a change to the existing UEFA setup. The media that funds everything in football would have no interest in a second or third tier product. You either get a seat at the big table or eat off the floor. The real problem is Uefa is controlled by those who benefit most from a product that is closely focussed on the major European leagues ... the dominant media organisation and the corporate sponsors. Advertising is everything, media is the advertising vehicle, only big populations matter, football is simply the bait. Change those perimeters and you might change the game.
  15. Gifs are like whores and personal number plates, their use is occasionally amusing but reveals a need to bolster an obvious character flaw
  16. Thanks, I'm probably not the only one.
  17. No change I'm afraid. Still blank.
  18. No, nothing there. Ive got the "Insert other media" box at bottom right. Nothing at bottom left.
  19. Still the same as it was. Tried logging out and in again, no change.
