heard that both Butcher and Sally have demanded a hearing on Samaras behaviour in getting ICT player sent off, but they are not holding out much hope as they think any enquiry will "only scratch the surface" LOL Timalloy
Goodnight ED007 and Mrs E {Ed007's Note - Night Tim mate. Absolutely shocking joke as usual. Are you sure you aren't one of The Krankies? Your jokes are about their level :-)

Ooooft ... Goodnight from me as well - Mrs E

ED007, Mrs E, you know me always willing to look at the most serious stuff, just saw Frank Skinner programme on George Formby Appreciation Society. Did some research and was SHOCKED, yes SHOCKED, to find there is no official Krankie Fan Club, ED007 with all your contacts and expert computer skills, I implore you to set up a website where all we Krankies fans can pay homage.
Fan Dabi Dozi LOL Timalloy
PS on the football front, just saw Given with a howler to put Spurs 2-0 up {Ed007's Note - No chance of that mate.}

Tim..what's your predictions for Wednesday & Saturday. I can't help but be a nervous wreck ?! - Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree1

Mrs E, think positive. Although we are not firing on all cylinders yet, we are slowly coming back to winning ways, nobody likes injuries but it is better getting injuries earlier in the season than later. Once Izzy, Brown, the two Wilsons, Mulgrew, Cha etc all come back we will be OK. Look at Rangers even with only Naismith injured they are struggling, if big Jellyfish goes down they are doomed. LOL Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Mmm...will feel more positive if we sign a decent centre half in January ! I hate having to rely on other teams picking up injuries, would rather do the job ourselves. When's Izzy back, is there any news at all Ed ? - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - He is ahead of schedule but there is no sign of a date of a comeback yet.}

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Nov 2011 19:49:43
Good Evening Mrs E, just saw your reply about the "big hoose", I agree most of these morons probably see it as a "home from home" with better cooking ha ha
No my suggestion, put them in their Rangers tops and leave them in Bairds Bar. Hope they know the Celtic Song LOL Timalloy

Believable0 Unbelievable1

I'm feart around about the barras never mind with a Rangers top on ! Everyone knows the Celtic song.... I see the Pogues have recorded a version for the songs 50th anniversary ....aww that's nice isn't it lol - Mrs E

Here's the latest installment from Castle Greyskull:

An Edinburgh law firm has become the latest company to raise court proceedings against Rangers FC over an alleged unpaid debt.

Fyfe Ireland solicitors said the action was over non payment of fees for legal services by the firm to the club.

The hearing is scheduled for Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

Earlier this month Rangers agreed an out-of-court settlement with pension advice firm Capita Trustees which had been suing over an unpaid bill.

Rangers has also faced other recent court action by creditors.

All for the sake of £3000,they will be having a whip-round next.

Jungle Bhoy.

Rangers will settle tax case for 7.5 million
ruling 26th january.
the tiger - still beyond reproach

Agree1 Disagree2

Good to hear ! Now you know when Celtic win the league it won't be because of Rangers 10 point deduction.... Glad thats cleared up

Agree1 Disagree1

Ha ha "Tiger" even your nickname is wrong. If it is in homage to a certain golfer, then you are most certainly not beyond reproach, and as a rangers fan doubly so hail hail Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Tiger , dont talk pi5h , the taxman doesnt settle for any ammount other than what is owed , where did £7.5m figure come from ? Rangers cant settle bills for £thousands never mind £millions my man .

Agree0 Disagree2

Bill will be settled for 7.5, end up at 8.3million after fee's. mr whyte is the only secured creditor. so he gets paid. mr whyte has informed hmrc if they continue with their case he will put the club into administration and they will get 5 - 10p in the pound of what they are owed. 5p in pound = 2.4million. why would hmrc not take an offer? its hmrc who have called for case to be adjourned until jan 26th and not anyone at rangers to allow them time to consider as there is no gaurentee they will win court case. rangers would rather pay some rather than take a chance in court.
the tiger - beyond reproach! {Ed007's Note - Nonsense.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Have you heard otherwise ed7? you read too much nonsense on kerrydale st site.
i have been robust on this for months and we will have to wait and see now. until then see if you can keep your support under control with regards to what they are singing, see if your manager and his assistant can stay sober and see if you can try n catch the champions.
the tiger - still beyond reproach {Ed007's Note - I don't use Kerrydale Street, why should I?? Exactly how can I personally keep the CFC support under control or any the other rubbish you have came out with there? Even if Rangers do win the big tax case (remember it is only the penalty they are questioning, they accept liability for the £2.8 million), Craig Whyte has also said there is a £10 million 'black hole' at the club, can YOU sort that out?}

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Nov 2011 19:15:39
Hi ed was really disappointed with Terry Butchers reaction to the red card at the weekend,which was never a red card,but what annoyed me was when he said it was the turning point in the game(maybe)but when Ross Tokely was sent off against Rangers which def.was the turning point as they got a penalty.(2)that were soft, and his reaction was nothing like it was against CFC,i dont buy into the conspiracy crap but it makes you wonder why his reaction was so different.MACCA {Ed007's Note - I said on Saturday it was a ridiculous decision. Run of the mill pi55 poor refereeing standards. It was the refs mistake and Samaras was probably as shocked as anyone else by it.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Aye Ed Samaras was so shocked he clutched his face and rolled on the ground in pure disbelief! {Ed007's Note - He was trying to cover his face so that nobody could see him laughing probably. It was the referee that made the mistake. Anyone with any sense knows it was never a red card, but it wasn't Samaras that sent the player off was it?}

Agree0 Disagree0

"but it wasn't Samaras that sent the player off was it?" So are you deffending Kyle Lafferty then Ed since so many Celtic fans have dragged that event up? {Ed007's Note - Who am I defending? I am slating the standard of refereeing. Did you actually read through things before coming up with a daft question?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Canny believe im agreeing with ed7.
the ref got it wrong. only person that agreed with the ref was chesney strachan. but what does he no
the tiger - still beyond reproach {Ed007's Note - Shock horror Tiger :-)

Agree1 Disagree0

Well he knows how to win three league trophies in four seasons ,one league cup, one scottish cup twice into the last 16 of champions league...signed players like nakamura ,boruc,brown,big jan, mcdonald,hartley,robson...oh and he won almost everything there is to win as a club player!!!!...ok he did have his faults but he brought a great deal of success to an ageing (spelling) martin o,neil side!!! all in all a great celtic manager.

or is it because he is not celtic minded????????

Chalky Bhoy!!

Agree1 Disagree0

Well theres the Rory Fallon red card (later rescinded) , Ross Tokely (got the ball) Rangers get a penalty when struggling to break Inverness down , Lafferty (twice feigning injury) getting Mulgrew and Brown sent off for nothing , Lovenkrands doing likewise to get Thompson sent off a few seasons back , Rangers fans have a cheek even moaning about decisions going against Inverness CT , Butcher should think before he makes stupid statements , he has shown himself up for the Rangers supporter everyone knows him as , Anthony Stokes was shown to be onside at the 2nd goal .

Good Evening ED007, just been reading all the posts on both sites (Celtic/Gers) have you seen unamed bears post 14.45.45 today, not very complimentary to yourself and the ED002 does not exactly back you up. (by the way ED007, just how do you get your head up your "Erchie" as unamed bear said, just curious? ha ha)
To a more serious bit, I always thought Germinator as one of the decent bears, but his posts today were just sad, again the "it wisnae us, it was a big bad boy" argument comes into play. Germinator you condemned it eventually, after knowing you were in the wrong.
All the brave bears reading this, Celtic fans have had a lot to endure both on and off the park these last past 2 years or so, but you NEVER see the Celtic fans attack people's house or make threats, sadly this is becoming more endemic in certain misguided Rangers fans mind, Germinator, I can say if this had been a Rangers players house attacked, we Celtic fans would have condemned it full stop. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Ed002 does not like the way the rivalry between the clubs stems from religious/racial intolerance. She is a delicate little flower when it comes to stuff like that and HATES editing this and the Rangers site when needed.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Had a wee look there out of morbid curiosity...Ed you are a god by all accounts ! anyway, why would a Rangers fan post on a Newcastle page about Gary Hooper ? - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - It can be a burden, but I have learnt to live with it over the years ;-) Now you see why I am not allowed to edit the Rangers page? Some of their fans seem to have taken a disliking to me for some strange reason. How it is my fault that his posts weren't getting on the Newcastle page I have no idea, I very rarely do other sites apart from Man Utd unless it necessary as there is nobody else around and to help keep the pages moving. Some very strange people out there, is it a full moon?}

Thats great news about the new T.V deal, more money aswell hopefully that will ensure us a new better sponsor for the league. Who said scots footy is dead??
CB67

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Its a terrible deal!
Now we know we are going to be subjected to the same boring 4 games a season against each other for another 5 years. It would be great if fans of all clubs in the SPL could stand together on this. I have checked out fans forums of a few of the SPL clubs and the concensus seems to be for more teams playing each other 2 times a season. I also think we should bin the league cup and bring in a winter break.I like the idea thats been mentioned of a British cup but i can't see the EPL going for it.Whats your thoughts?

Good news at last for scottish football, just seen the TV deal news. That said we probably have been held a little to ransom over them but we dont really have a choice. All round good news tho IMO.

Makes it easier to get a sponsor too. Lets just hope the money is spent wiseley by all who get a piece. albeit prob quite a small piece to be fair. £80 mil over 5 years, could be worse, but could be much better when you look at revenues generated in other nations, but we are a small product as a whole at least we will have games on telly for 5 more years,

This however raises the question. Do we really need a TV deal in scottish football? Surley we could focus clubs on getting bums on seats rather than bums on sofas and sky raking in money from subscriptions (although they would do that anyway without spl games) We could go back a little in time, get people back in the stands first, make the gate the clubs money line, rather than them waiting on the tv money. Get our stadiums full and thriving, then get our clubs on tv on a regular basis. Our clubs need punters week in week out to support the team and help the club out more money wise and instill a bit of frugality into a lot of clubs.

Anyways, it is a guranteed income of just over £1 mil a year if shared equally which it wont be. Surley a full house every 2 weeks gives them more than that oover a year? That in my opinion should be the priority of our league not selling out for tv cos we feel desperate! Get the fans back into grounds first, then go for tv!

TV has ruined football in so many places, scotland being the prrime example due to the EPL doing a deal with the devil.

Evinguu

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Evening, Evinguu, you Evinguu, Me Timalloy, sorry could not resist it.
Yes good news about TV deal, hear it is worth more than last deal so well done Mr Doncaster. Heard a certain owner of a seedy south side club has asked for £3000 in advance as he has a "little local difficulty with a law firm" (YES ANOTHER ONE ha ha) This "Billionaire" sure has problems with his cash flow, think I would change accountants, if he can find someone to work without pay LOL Timalloy {Ed007's Note - What ever happened with his threat to sue the BBC? That is nearly a month now and no papers have been served that I am aware of.}

Agree0 Disagree0

He's dealing with it in the same way celtic were going to ban the poppy banner bohys! atleast our problems keep yourselfs looking in the other direction, rather than being happy with cracks being pappered over in your own clu. back to world class again i see. i think i'm correct in saying celtic have not beat a 11 man team since the beginning of september!! :o)
food for thought.

badboybob {Ed007's Note - What has that got to do with anything? you don't publicly threaten to sue an organisation like the BBC (a corporation owned by The Crown) then not do it, unless he was advised not to as the information broadcast was correct, or he couldn't afford lawyers. You come across very childish at times, needing to twist things around and take conversations off at a tangent that suits your own means and adopt a 'but you done this' attitude, rather add anything constructive.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Aw naw...he's back ! I heard that on the radio phone-in tonight & as DJ and Roughie said 'what's your point' ? With the exception of Saturday, every send-off has been justified. Celtic can only play what's in front of them & if players in the other teams choose to pick up 2 yellow cards then they know the rules - Mrs E

Right Bhoys this is an important week (as every week is and will be until May) we need to demolish the pars (would help bigtime if we got a good few goals too, can't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to.)
That would take it down to 7 points,then on Sat beat the saints (by a good few goals also) taking the points down to 4 and the goal differance too,which would pile all the pressure on the "shame". As I said after the Aberdeen game with that wee cheat Naismiths injury they'd struggle (which was obvious against the saints on Sat). If Jelavic got injured they'd be so finished so mon the hoops this is our chance to get our season going again bhoys.
Mon the Hoops!! Hail Hail
CB67

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Totally agree i would rather haf long term injuries (not that i would want any our players injured)at the start of the season which happend rangers are startin to pick injuries up probably at the wrong time just as our long term casualties are due bak never no they could come bak like new signings hopefully,stef1967

Agree1 Disagree0

We had a bad game, as many teams do there's no panic. Yeah we have missed Naisy but we have enough players to cope with the absence of Naisy. Take your best player out your team and i'm sure you would struggle. Beat Dunfermline and St Mirren by a few goals I would just concentrate on winning the games, you cant take any team for granted now. Old Firm will be a massive game which could kill your title bid off altogether or bring you right back in it.

Billyboy1

Agree1 Disagree2

Eh billybhoy we had our best player (Izzy) crooked on the first day plus s.brown our new CH Kelvin.Wilson not to mention our new 2m CF also etc, the list goes on so you should really think about your comment before you post is matey. ;)

Hi ed. I was sicken to see what was on the front of the Irish Daily Star that Antony Stoke girlfriend who is heavenly pregnant was attack by gang or as the star say a mob of hardcore ranger supporting thugs. She was alone in her house and her house was surrounded by a mob. I thought this shxt was sorted last year. Is this the way rangers fans operate if we get close to them there fans go puts pressure on celtics managers and players personal life??Oh or maybe it's those chelsea fans that wreck Manchester. Am sick of this shxt around the old firm. It's a fuxking game of football let's cut out the rest of shxt that's goes for our fans too. Fuxkin sick of it. Bigirishmac. {Ed007's Note - His house was targeted last year as well while his parents were visiting. Hopefully the authorities do their job and find these morons and the court finds a backbone in dealing with this stuff.}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Morons yes .... show me were it says it was rangers fans tho? She wasnt attacked her front window was smashed .. im aint saying that it should have happened but posters like you are every bit as bad as the ragtops wen u think you know something infact u even read it in a very resputable paper and still misquoted and made up your own version ... hope he has CCTV tho to catch the ar$holes tho.

Germinator {Ed007's Note - One of his neighbours blames it on the Celtic/Rangers thing. I think the community in general understand what it is about, especially after the sectarian element of the attack when his parents were visiting:

www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/edinburgh/around-the-capital/stokes_driven_out_of_home_by_yobs_1_1977380

Agree0 Disagree2

Yeah but not a single one of them are hardcore fans .... thats not what a hardcore fan would do and any decent gers fan would have thugs like this thrown away... rangers wouldnt accept these people ... i wouldnt accept thise people therefore are not banded in the hardcore fans category they are soley in the idiots cannot fulfill any dreams of theor own therefore need to try and ruin the dreams of others ...... if i seen one of those people in the streets me and a huge queue of fellow gers fans would line up to serve some justice as we will not tarnish our name ........... can u look at someone in the street and tell how "hardcore" of a fan they are?

Germinator {Ed007's Note - They are obviously local and probably known in their community Germ.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ps thanks for cutting the bottom of my point ed .... very valid point to make .... ps no matter who knows them they are NOT hardcore fans .... hardcore fan_ies maybe but defo not hardcore fans.

Germinator {Ed007's Note - Until and if they are caught we won't know for sure, but I would put money on it being a sectarian motivated attack. I agree with you though that decent minded fans should/would distance themselves from this kind of nonsense. I edited that bit because no one is accusing anyone of being a part of any paramilitary organisation mate.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Your spot on BIM this sc&m should be done to the fullest point of the law, to pick on a pregnant women you really are just alot of scumbags!!
CB67

Agree0 Disagree0

..... ahhh see ed now ur on the right line of thought ... it was a sectarian attack not a rangers one ..... not a rangers attack .... this is where all this crap comes from the quicker both teams remove themselves from a religous stance the better. Im sure these guys might like a drink annol but are not branded as hardcore alchohol fans? the reason i posted the stuff that u deleted was to highlight this very fact if that certain group comitted any attack on a rangers player would u somsider a hardcore celtic attack ? that was the point i was making...You know what i mean ?
all the same hope the idiots are caught (lol almost wrote cleared there!! that would have gone down well eh?!)

Germinator {Ed007's Note - I'd have twigged that was a mistake and changed it for you mate, I'd have slagged you for it but changed it. Broxburn isn't that large an area so I would imagine the perpetrators will be known, hopefully the fact it was a young pregnant woman home alone will pull at somebody's conscience to identify them to the police. They obviously knew Stokes wouldn't be there. As CFC were playing in Inverness. They are spouting on about new laws etc, they should make it a law that anyone found guilty of any sectarian act faces a football banning order, that way they can't go to the grounds and tarnish their club's name any further. I keep saying it, but take pride in your club, don't tarnish or ruin their reputation. I find a lot of younger people seem to hate CFC or Rangers more than they actually love either team they profess to support and love so much. Being a bigot doesn't make you a better supporter, from either side. And as I have said plenty of times as well, I hope the spotlight doesn't just get shone on Glasgow, look at the behaviour/singing/chants of fans from other teams as well.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sad sad state of affairs.

Not necissarily rangers fans at play here. Although it is always easy to point the finger! but i wont. I wouldnt put this sort of act past any of the lowlife scum we have polluting our streets! Remember the disabled guy in aberdeen getting a hiding for wearing an England shirt?

Sad thing is people like this will know, whos house it is, and where they are. Its not uncommon for footballers homes to be robbed when they are out, and i think this is a botched attempt as this, they didnt count on the missus being there. Still doesnt make it right. And hope she wasnt too shaken up.

We dont want to turn this latest event into a Rangers Celtic thing. We should ditch that when these events occurr, we should see them for what they are, scum who deserve no allegiance to any of the football institutions mentioned. Acts like this has nothing to do with football, or anything to do with being a decent human being!

Evinguu {Ed007's Note - That's why I say if you are in court and found guilty of a sectarian crime, part of your punishment should be you are banned from every club ground in the UK, even if you are not a ST holder, it would help separate the teams from it.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers Cb67. So I am just as bad as the mob that attack a pregant woman( it's ok ed they didn't give her a good beating just broke her window and sang Christmas carols at her) what kind of a statement is that to make? Maybe they where x-factor fans. To many things have happen in the last few years connected with rangers supporters but it's never their fault don't talk bull. Bigirishmac

Agree0 Disagree0

What are u gibbering about ? no one has defended them they are low .... too low for words ... but they people are not the voice for rangers far from it .... there are plenty of criminals that are celtic and rangers fans doesnt mean that the club back their actions ..... to band that as a "rangers attack" is just plain idiotic as the ed said it was a sectarian attack not a rangers one ... please learn to differentiate.

Germinator

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That's why I say if you are in court and found guilty of a sectarian crime, part of your punishment should be you are banned from every club ground in the UK, even if you are not a ST holder, it would help separate the teams from it.}

Well true, they should be banned from any public gathering in that case then, Gigs town centres, marches etc etc etc. If you are going to act like an infant then expect to get treated like an infant!. Yes i know hard to impliment across the board, but its like the football thing you hve to turn up at a local police station whilst the game is on, do the same for T in the park weekend etc, If these peole are going to prevent others living a peaceful life, then they should be prevented from living a life untill their punishment ends!. say a 5 year ban from all these things. That said, these people aint the brightest so doing this may cause them to act illegaly in other ways. Still would like to see it myself.

If you cant partake in society in a civilised and acceptable manner like the majority of people can, then you should be excluded from it as much as possible!

Evinguu

If rankers paid there taxes, maybe we'd have more police on the street! lol

DazzaBhoy

Agree2 Disagree0

Most of these folk don't go to the games anyway & if they do...can still get a ticket from pals etc. The Clubs need to tighten up how they enforce these banning orders. The only thing they can't do is travel abroad when their team are playing in Europe, they have to hand their passport into a local Police office..its not that much of a punishment ! - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - From what I know you have to report to your local police station during match time.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Doubtful, just more money for the government to steal or hand out to other countries

Magoo {[o]}^{[o]}

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about that either Ed...for the duration of the match ? Not mush point if you can still get in 10 mins after kick-off.

I still think most of the bother comes from folk that wouldn't know the inside of Celtic Park from Ibrox so a banning order isn't going to work - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - If you live in say Motherwell, if you have to report to the police station at 3.30 pm on a matchday, you are hardly going to jump on a train into Glasgow and get to a match in time. When the order is passed you have seven(might be five) days to report to your local police station to have a picture taken that is circulated to all police forces, clubs and British Transport Police. If your are seen on CCTV or reported to the club then you will be arrested. It would still further the distance between the clubs and the problem, and some of them may well be ST holders:

www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2011/07/22120711/3

Agree0 Disagree0

I think thats the only positive, that it distances the club from the trouble..

I still think they manage to get into the games with the banning orders & being arrested isn't something that bothers them really, unfortunately ! - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - It should bother them. If you break a FBO you get six months in the 'big hoose'. No fines, no appeal just a straight six month sentence.}

Agree0 Disagree0

ED007, speaking of "big hoose" when these morons are caught, I suggest a prisoner exchange scheme, 10 of them for our Wee Pat (Free the Posso One) The wee man does community service at Celtic Park hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Or let Wee Pat and the Posso Posse make their stay as comfortable as possible. :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Home from home for most of these horrible characters Ed. Bed for the night, 3 meals a day & would probs serve less than half than sentence - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - That is very judgemental from such a fair maiden as you Mrs E! ;-)

Does anyone know how long Samaras is out of action for following his assault at Inverness. Ive heard he needs surgery to remove a piece of fingernail that became lodged. {Ed007's Note - They performed emergency surgery when he was substituted, he had split his sides laughing. I'm more concerned about how the referees eye test went.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Heard Mr O'reilly visited him during his hospitl rehab. {Ed007's Note - I don't believe that for a minute, he would never be able to see his way around a hospital never find any private wards or specific people.}

Agree2 Disagree0

I heard Sameras is suing Tansey as he had to get a tetnus jab after having the fingernail removed and his face is becoming infected, apparently he had a little bit of mud under his nail! and sammy is still trying to get used to getting muddy. I heard its in the region of 10 trillion euros hes after! , to help greece out of its predicament!

Why do we NEED to win the league are we going to go out of business if we dont ,no we are not . are we going to miss out of the chance of going into the cl if we dont ,no we wont .
RE: eh? Is this the ambition of the average celtic fan..... ed how many teams do we get in the quals for the CL ..if it is two then the runner up will have a helluva harder draw id imagine. As a gers fans regardless of financial status i fell we "need" to wind the league every year id have thought this is the same for celtic fans but with the agrees clicked maybe im wrong.

Point was if celtic dont win the league it will yet again be another failure and lennon wont have a job meaning another rebuilding process and with no CL money to bankroll it.

However looks like the tic might be up for pushing us for the title and personally id like another 2 attacking players in the squad come jan if we get them and are of decent quality im confident the league is ours if not it will be very close.

Germinator {Ed007's Note - Both first and second place teams enter at the third qualifying stage, if the get through that there is a play off round as well before reaching the group stages. I think it will prove very difficult for either team to reach the group stages unless the draw is VERY kind to them.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yup i agree ed and even if both teams get a lucky draw we both know how well we fare against so clled poor european opposition eh! lol my main point was about the guy saying celtic dont need to win the league .... for both teams the league is a must every year.

If we don't win the league this year..I ain't leaving the house for a month. I can't face it again... lol - Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

Are my eyes playing tricks on me here? Has a Celtic fan just stated that it doesn't if Celtic don't win the league because they aren't going out of business and that even if they finish second they still qualify for the Champs League qualifiers?

Is this guy fo real? He obviously hasn't been a football fan for the long!!!!

Yeah beating Dunfermline and St Mirren is a major turning point? Shows how bad you have fallen you should be beating these teams every week. {Ed007's Note - If we beat them we will have beat them this week, and you don't play the same two teams every week either.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm guessing the last poster is a rankers fan! And did they not draw with St Mirren?

Nah I know man, just making sure u hadn't forgotten.

Agree0 Disagree2

Yep.got beat at home by a st johnstone team who have just drawn at fortress ibrox.lost awat to hearts,which can happen any time,and lost an away old firm game.win our next two games,then we have the advantage of the next o.f. game at home.looking a lot brighter than this time a couple of weeks ago,wouldnt you say?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hear hear mate, least we have players coming back from injury (izzy, Bangura) and players finding form (matthews, forrest)!

While they have a "blackhole" in there finances which could force them to sell. If Jellyfish goes they are totally different team!

I think this season will be a cracker, right till the end.
