Tyrant

Agree with this. I know the odd Muslim here and there. I worked with one until recently. I liked the guy (even though he was a Tim) but I found myself thinking "what does he honestly make of all this?" Part of me wonders if all this "Those extremists aren't real Muslims" stuff is all an act. I don't know. I blame folk being thick more than religion tbh be honest. My parents were never religious. Not particularly anyway. Not sure if they believe(d) in God but I was never sheltered from religion (which is almost definitely what I'd do with my own child I think). I was never told that certain religions were better or worse than others. I found/find religion quite fascinating in a way but so infuriating in another. I eventually decided that I didn't believe in any religion and that I was atheist. Because surely to believe all the shite that the various religions pedal you'd have to be a thick cunt or bat shit crazy. This point of view has offended many. That's not my intention. I should be more respectful of people's beliefs because I'm a firm believer in people being able to say, think and believe whatever they want as long as they're not harming anyone. I was surprised to hear a modern day account of a man that moved to a new town but because he was an atheist he was shunned and unwelcome within the community. I'd probably think "bible belt America" but no. It was right here in Scotland. Admittedly the isle of Lewis is almost in America but hearing about something like this happening in this country in this day and age was surprising.

Fit are you on aboot? Austria is in the EU!

But it's nae in the AFC transfer window thread?

I wish we were flying under the radar. It seems that all I'm hearing is DM being asked if we can win the league. Admittedly the circus down at Ibrox is helping a little bit but not enough. Derek has answered those questions brilliantly so far.

"But Goodwillie's attitude is shite and sell McGinn blah blah blah" Fuck all that. COYR!

I was worried about the weather murdering any prospect of a decent spectacle. But to be honest I've seen games far worse. We managed to create a lot and as Al said we only took a fraction of our chances. Also as Al said St. Mirren could've quite conceivably muddied our clean sheet record but Brown was alert ahen he needed to be and made one or two smart saves. Considine was a candidate for MOTM the match but I went for Hayes. He was absolutely superb. McGinn and Shankland unlucky not to score also.

Fuck sake guys. That's cheered me right up.

Decades of dos cuntery from the top to the bottom of our club has turned us into easy to please fans! Milne's mission complete?

We've probably been the team most deserving of taking points of Celtic this season. But these things happen. Celtic will drop more points this season I have no doubt. But Deek got it 100% right when he said "Celtic can only lose the league". It's great having a manager who's not a completely dos cunt.

DM McInnes and Ryan Jack have been names as manager and player of the month respectively for December. Whilst it's good that they're being recognised this always makes me feel a bit uneasy because it's usually the start of a downturn in our fortunes! Let's hope we get the 3 points on Saturday and keep going! COYR you reds!

Happy new year dudes!

Agree with all this completely. And the bit in bold is why I get wound up about folk always letting themselves get outraged by the mad rambling of that Hopkins bint. She's built a career or controversy. If folk didn't perpetuate it we wouldn't have to listen to it.

At least now the murdering Christian bastards will have another excuse to go and murder some more of the murdering Muslim bastards. All murdering bastards are cunts.

So if we were allocated 24k tickets and we've only sold 15k surely there are more than 2k left? Either that or my maths isn't what it used to be. MBT, can you clear this up?

Maybe you should be clearer then.

You're talking as if I'm trying to be subliminal. I'm not. What I said is clear. I don't share your point of view that McGinn should be sacked if he celebrated.

Cheap option though. Just hope that deal is sealed soon so that DM isn't linked.

Unless his celebrations were way OTT I'd not be overly bothered about them. Like most of the rest I'd prefer him to concentrate 100% but he went to the game and celebrated his team scoring.. I just can't get as worked up about it as others.

But as manager I've already decided that we're not dropping anyone.

I hope you're right but with all these new deals getting handed out we must be at our maximum budget surely? I thought we were before and I highly doubt those new deals wouldn't have included pay rises. So I'd be surprised if we made signings this month unless players leave to vacate wages.

To answer the question; Yes we can. but I don't think we will. The financial gulf is just too big. Celtic have this month to sign players and talk about signing ours to unsettle them. They have money to throw at the problem. We're unlikely to strengthen at all which I think we'd need to mount a lasting challenge.

I agree that their McGinn and McLean are decent players but I don't believe they warrant wholesale changes to our own lineup. If last weekend's 11 are fit I'd stick with them.
