Better than any team we will face in Scotland IMO 

Better than any team we will face in Scotland IMO 

Please don’t leave Liverpool Jurgen. 
Couldn't take the heartbreak when Stevie leaves. 

Katic is undroppable right now. Goldson is not and with  Helander knocking on the door there should only be one guy dropping out. However we should not touch it as long as it is working. 

He is fucking immense. 
I hope we keep him for a long long time 

Back at Ibrox the night again, they've a better European attendance record for us than some of our fans ffs.
It'll be the same the night hoping one mwi guy shouts fenian or some shite. I hope to fuck we serenade them with the war songs that they canae touch and make their 90minutes as unjenoyable as possible. 
Daddy's uniform, udr4, No1 platoon the lot. These tramps (most likely a shettleston) in attendance the night are going to be praying we fuck it, I just hope we have a sash bash which will have them foaming but not a thing they can do.
This is genuinely pathetic and not going to go round and round and round anymore, nobody is offended by the billy boys or super Rangers, but we've let these fucking IRA loving parasitic bastard's into positions of power and they're now reaping the rewards. They're lobbying uefa regarding songs uefa themselves even called a societal problem in the west of Scotland in the hope somecunt listens. Uefa now are listening to them and we are fucked due to it.
 

Some of our transfer business has been excellent this year. Some has been absolutely shocking.
Barker, Hastie, Stewart are all bang average or worse. Why were pishing away money on shite like this when we’ve still got the likes of Dorrans, Dodoo, Holt, Murphy, Grezda on the wage bill I’ll never know.

It’s just not such a simple issue. If it was then It would be easy. 
We are currently presented with a simple choice. Ditch the songs or get fined. It’s that easy and we should all rally round and ditch the songs. Thats the end of that simplified issue. 
Next level of the issue is whether we can retain the tunes but change the words to purely football related words because they are great anthems. It seems, bizarrely, that this is not to be entertained. For me this raises questions about the motive for the action in the first place?
But then there is the next level of the issue. Parity. We should not be singled out in this treatment. Others should be sanctioned for the same things. Otherwise it’s victimisation.   
Next level is the fact that this is a societal issue. When is that going to be tackled instead of targeting football fans for the issues in society. But that is for the politics forum
On a whole Other level then is the sectarianism and whether it is freedom of speech or not to denounce fenianism, Catholicism or Protestantism or even Islamists.  But that is for the debate forum
If you are going to just argue on a forum about the first level of the issue then it’s no wonder everyone appear polarised. 

He may well be putting words in ears, however if he spoke to the wrong jobsworth guy, he could end up in trouble a he is the guy in charge of our main rivals.   Very risky for him to be trying that, especialy since his only remit in the job is to help try and change the format of the tournament.
I don't think Liewell has anywhere near the clout he has here, over in UEFA.  I do believe he plays a massive part in the shit that befalls us domestically.
 I think the bigger "coincidence" is this o'hagen guy,  been at the tarriers, hibs, and killie so obviously hates us, and is in a position to actually get us punished.
None of it really matters, we have put ourselves in this position, given them the ammo to use against us and in their eyes, clearly broke the rules.  The fact that the uefa delegate ( that is what ohagen is right?) seems to have a massive conflict of interest probably wont matter to UEFA either.   It might well be something to use in our defence later, if we do end up having to take this to the courts.
It's a fucked situation,  biased bastards have reported us for breaking the rules.  If we hadn't broken the rules though, there would be nothing for UEFA to punish.
No amount of debate on the subject really matters right now tbh,although it has been interesting the past few days
 
The only thing that matters in the short term is we stop singing stuff that breaks the rules. ( no fenian bastards, no up to our knees....., nothing that can be seen to discriminate against their shithole of a religion.)   The rest can be sorted out later, although I feel we may be pissing into the wind trying to argue against UEFA on this.
We should start playing the tarrier bastards at their own game too,  watch their games, take notes of their vile chants, type up emails and send them to FARE, Nil By Mouth , UEFA, etc.    It's the only way to combat them, as we can't win by fighting the system.

I don’t understand why the OP is being criticised for what is a legitimate question. 
I would love to hear Gerard’s explanation for this is and if we had decent journalists in this country I would like them to ask him that question. 
Maybe he has a good answer but it is fast becoming a managerial trait of his that he doesn’t make subs when it seems obvious that certain players are flagging and he makes subs too late when the game needs changed. 
He has my full confidence and I don’t think it has cost us significantly but equally I don’t believe he should be beyond question and I would love to hear his insights on this approach

Fuck me. We as a species have peaked. It’s all over. Millions of years of evolution to get to a point that Newspapers are now carrying stories about a tweet about where a football match is being shown. 
What even is the point

We have four very good CHs all who are pretty young for the position. 
Helander gets all the headlines because of the fee paid for him but Edmondson is a very handy player as well. 
Its a very interesting problem to have and I am not sure we have ever been so well endowed with Centre halves? It always seems to have been a position where the first choice pairing was obvious and we had one solid back up and a youth player. We have 4 very strong first team players and Gerrard has a job keeping them all happy

Gerrard looked proper scunnered with the questions. Must be soul destroying having to deal with the same shite day in day out. 
I would wager that pre-match press conferences are the worst part of a managers job. 

There are hundreds of better examples  tbh 
Our club can't defend themselves ,so it's no surprise ,they won't give a monkies fuck about this 
And bears continue to be divided on how to behave or voice their opinions 
The tired old " don't want to act the taigs " line will be trotted out or used against other bears 
Sickening arrogance to be honest and the reason all bheasts stand as a more powerful weapon when going on the attack with these accusations .
We have apathy and appologists that will always stink out the place 
Like you said .The have been doing it for decades successfully 
 

Not sure how this thread got past page 1. The answer is Flanagan and Polster. That should have been the end of it
