  1. I saw it on fezbook pretty much after the HIVs game. Presumed it was rubbish and that normal service would resume the following weekend...
  2. Regardless of the above, I think (and hope) he needs to grow into the role a bit more. There have clearly been times over the past 6 weeks he's been posted missing. A rallying call in the press is fine, I just hope that it's followed up with a result on the weekend!
  3. It's also a lie, i've known plenty of people who have watched scottish football in holland. In fact they had a better view of it than the fuckwits in England. I know it's about the quality on the park and entertainment for the fans, but I do think the image of the game is important.
  4. Saw Michael Grant just posted this quote from Andrew Driver on Twitter. Can't say I disagree with what he's saying. Probably why our sponsorship took so long to sort out and given to away for pittance.
  5. Arsenal getting absolutely pumped by bayern, looks like there is a dons flag in the corner too. Arabs sound like they're on for a beating by hibs too. Hopefully they continue that form into the weekend
  6. I thought the same when I read that stat tbh!
  7. Don't think there has ever been a warmer welcome on here, thanks rocket
  8. Hardly getting excited, more like I'm trying to understand what the fuck has happened to our team who went 8 games undefeated and taking maximum points whilst only conceding 3 goals. Just because you love his beard.
  9. I see Rose has joined forfar on an emergency loan today
  10. Won't be getting too excited until something happens. If at all.
  11. Absolutely a must win game. We can't beat that shower of shite, then whats the point they need to forget about the start, That's in the past and now irrelevant. We've lost too much ground, it's time to start again.
  12. 7 goals in 6 games!

    Drugs

    Don't get me wrong, I know hoping the money would be used correctly by those in charge is wishful thinking because unfortunately, human greed would take over. It shouldn't be a reason for it not to go ahead though. It is ridiculous that drugs are given special status despite alcohol and tobacco being equal if not worse in their effects and consequences.

    Drugs

    So, it seems like Ireland are on point with their latest legislation, allowing same sex marriages and now looking at legalising drugs. Personally, I think that this is something that should have happened here as it would allow a) the government to take away profit from the cartels / gangs and allow them to tax it, much like they already do with alcohol and cigarettes b) allow them to get sufficient monies to help those with the addiction. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ireland-to-decriminalise-small-amounts-of-drugs-including-heroin-cocaine-and-cannabis-for-personal-a6719136.html So a question to you DTer's, is this the right route for us? Will Ireland see an increase in substance abuse?
  15. Agreed and if you think about it, the bonus for anyone finishing as high up as they can should be the lure of European football. The Tims could make plenty of money from finishing top if they actually successfully qualified for the champions league, they just fail to do it Would an even financial playing board make some more boring to watch? I'm not sure.
  16. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/1331865-spfl-sides-to-share-record-21m-prize-money-payout-in-201516-season/ I didn't bother with the lower leagues. But septic getting pretty much double what second place is ridiculous (positional prize money). Albeit is only about £800k more in total.
  17. Every one of those goals was unavoidable. The only person I dont blame is Ward as technically, all 3 goals were very, very good.

    Saw it on Sunday. Thought it was ace, apart from the song. Was a bit disappointed that monica belucci had such a short role though.
  19. I don't think I'll buy it forever, Rico. Not sure when I'll stop but there'll definitely be a time. I'm guessing when as you rightly say that the WW2 veterans have passed. The fact that there have been a few conflicts since that I disagree with that are now supported by the purchases of them lessens the financial attachment I had to them, but I think I'd still wear one out of respect. Granted it will probably leave me open to criticism but everyone has their own ways of paying their respects.
  20. Seems like a relevant time to bump this thread. What a difference a few months make. The only things which still apply to what I mentioned at the start of the season is Ward. Our centre half pairing (which ever one it seems to be) has been so inconsistent since the slump started. I think ED touched on the preferred defence Logan - Quinn - Reynolds - Shinnie It's certainly a line-up i'd be happy with and like to see stuck with for a few weeks to allow them all to form a partnership. This chop and change isn't doing anyone any good. Least of all the fans! Regardless of whether Logan leaves in Jan or not, we need someone to cover that position. McLaughlin is useless.
  21. That the astroturf pitch near the school? Think I played the Glasgow Uni medics there once. Hopefully the game yesterday was just a set back!
  22. http://www.northsound1.com/localnews/listen-mcinnes-on-celtic-defeat/#.VjdpJPo6uBM.twitter McInnes on the game
  23. Rightly or wrongly, that's how I see his position as well. More attacking than defensive and should be playing almost in that "no 10" role. We just need a no nonsense leader behind him.
  24. No I don't, but I don't think I need to answer my opinions to all and sundry. I get where you're coming from but it's not something that bothers me.
  25. Personally, I do. Out of a mark of respect for those who have fallen. I discount recent conflicts though.
