  1. Oh FFS, calm down and get off the offended bus !!! He meant returning to Porkhead FC and if we weren't looking for the slightest mistake to jump over the OP would see that.
  2. Don't buy it now, they have suspended new purchases of Premium Elite as they are about to bring out Black Ops II and it will likely change when that happens
  3. Got my seat activated. Hopefully there to see a Div3 team pump the big boys from the SPL !
  4. Why do we want to re-visit a song which has got us into so much trouble in the past. At the recent home game, when the crown break into "Follow Follow", you can noticbly hear the supprt lose it's voice midway through the song because most don't know the actual words, only the "sectarian" add-on. Singing TBB's will be exactly the same, old habits die hard (or not at all) and there will ALWAYS be those who will sing the wrong words, that will then be twisted into "ibrox sang the sectarian lyrics" and that will explode into the same old witch hunt and no matter what we say, it will be played out exactly like that. Look at the weekend with Man Utd fans singing "It's never your fault, it's never your fault, always the victims, it's never your fault," aimed at Liverpool fans, now thier trust states that chant had nothing to do with Hillsborough and all to do with recent squabbles ... do you beleive that, I know I don't. Who needs enemies, when we appear to be more than capable of shooting ourselves in the foot and using our own gun & ammunition to do so.
  5. This might interest you .. I met with a business aquaintence of mine, who informed me that earlier this year, he was invited by his bank (Clydesdale) to a seminar regarding how to reduce your tax burden, this seminar was all about EBT's and their practical use in business today. I find it interesting that the main sponsor for the SPL is actively encouraging SME's to examine and utlise this scheme, while sponsoring a league who actively particiapte in persecution of companies who partook of this scheme. A side note, his accountant told him not to go anywhere near the scheme.
  6. Just what I was going to say, a break can heal quicker that ligament damage
  7. Excellent article and points well made. I do believe the RFFF could find a solicitor to aid in the defence or legal advice for our support and how they are treated, both at away and, disgracefully, at home matches.
  8. I was a Scotland fan, I attended almost every home game for the last 2 campaigns, both World Cup & European Championships. However, I now have a real feeling of 'Disconnect' with the set-up behind our national team. I now struggle to match up my passion for Scotland and my passion for Rangers. How can I sit beside a support that seemingly detests the fact that I support Rangers, how do I correlate my support for Rangers with the backdrop of a national organisation who seems hellbent on destroying that very club ? For me, my only way is to support my country from afar. I can't bring myself to goto a Scotland game, I hope one day that changes but for now I will be a passionate armchair Scotland fan. I will always want them to win and I can't understand anyone who wishes otherwise, even through our recent history, I will support EVERY player that pulls on the dark blue be it a Rangers, Celtic or a player like Naismith, when you pull on that Blue it covers all sin ??
  9. Surely we have a police office or lawyer amongst the members on here, they must be able to clarify the legal standing of searches etc at the stadium.
  10. Hold off on any laptop until Windows 8 is out, which should be soon, when that happens you will pick up a Win7 based laptop very cheap
  11. #thisisfun is a great hash tag that has, as Darche said, came from WATPPodcast. It is something that highlights how we, as a support, are actually enjoying the SFL and our journey back to the top tier and we are not moping about, in a depression about sinking to the bottom tier. Also, it gets right up the noses of the SPL fans, for that alone it's worthwhile.
  12. The Dalek thing, I get the reference but I've never heard it before until now. The 'wasp' thing ... What is that? I've not heard that either.
  13. Wow, 3 pages in and my first 'are you sure you're not a Tim?' reply. Btw, the answer is YES, I'm sure I'm not a Tim. I can totally understand everyone's point of view and I'm glad most can see where I was coming from, even though you don't agree ... that's what debate is about. I suppose you could say he saying things like that to drum up potential investors and, yes, the press report could easily be written in a different context from the way the cme t was delivered, however I still find the idea of gloating Or celebrating this while it still affects small local business' a bit seedy and beneath us, as another said, a little humility goes a long way.
  14. I think that if the club had slowly reduced the debt to Zero through prudent financial management then it would certainly be something to shout about (similar in the way the Scum board shout about reducing their bank debt) but to gloat about it, knowing that to get here the club did not pay it's creditors and left many of them thousands of pounds out of pocket ... morally, it's not right. Of course, this was a situation not created by CG and he is performing admirably in the PR stakes but this is one where, I believe, he should tone the rhetoric down and be more humble towards those who suffered and, most likey, are still suffering, albeit at the hands of others.

    iPhone apps

    NavFree ... best satnav app about & it's free. NewStarSoccer ... be prepared to lose your life to that game though. BBC iPlayer ... especially with the latest version where you can download shows to your phone for future viewing. Sky Go .. if you have sky, get this, you can watch anything your sky is currently showing (beware ... if no wifi signal this will eat into your data plan) ** similar is itv player/ 4oD/ Demand 5 ** Find My iPhone ... if you lose your phone, and this is on it, you can log into your apply account on another iphone/ipad etc and find it from that. Find Friends .. similar, only you can track you mates/kids or whatever, if you have to find them TuneIn Radio .... listen to hundreds of station, online (beware ... if no wifi signal this will eat into your data plan) Facebook/Twitter ... if you're into that kind of thing Thats enough to get you started but if you go onto the App store on your phone, goto featured. click on "Whats Hot" .. at the top you can select the box for "App Store Essentials", thats a great way to find apps that are good and what they think are important.
  16. This statement irks me !! While it is great that, as a club, we have no debts etc but is it really something we should be gloating about, considering how that situation came about i.e. Admin Yes, I understand the debt lies with the previous company but to those who suffered under our Administration i.e. suppliers (local & national), they look at us playing in the same stadium etc and benefiting from Admin while they had to suffer the losses, some of which, I'm sure, could ill afford. I am not advocating we repay all our debts from under Admin, even though we are settling our football debts (while the OldCo receives all the monies outsanding to us), that is the way of the world in business. It's a great situation to be in but to "crow" about it .... it just doesn't sit right with me.
  17. Just remember what YOU think of as a massive slight against the club, others would easily dismiss as small dig and not worth getting into. I believe that the media team have done a sterling job of defending the club against scurrilous rumour and innuendO, look at how @rfc_dickson (Andrew) consistently stated the club and it's history still remained, he led that charge via social media (twitter), btw, that's also the guy who doesn't work in the ticket office but constantly gets asked questions about tickets. CG himself has been very outspoken against Rangers detractors, he has defended this club in a much more public manner, far more than either CW or SDM ever did. In my view, the club has been far more proactive in defending the clubs image and dispelling scurrilous rumours but they still have to pick thier battles as we cannot howl at the moon for every slight as people will eventually stop listening.
  18. My link froze just at the first goal, now selected link 2 and it's movIng fine now.
  19. We are certainly keeping the ball on the deck this time. I thought with McCulloch up top it might be more punts up the park, looking for Little to pick up the pieces. Note - holy fuck, that was close for Falkirk.
  20. I was looking again this morning and I caught sight of the chip embedded into the card. I though the chip would be visible so I was confused as to how it worked without one ...
  21. Got mine today, obviously I know that you hold it up to the scanners and it activates the gate but HOW does it work. I expected to see a chip or something similar embedded in the card but it's just a card, so how does it actually work ??
  22. You have likely disabled the mouse pad somehow, get a mouse and plug it in. You can fix it in control panel or go to the system tray (bottom right of the screen) and you should see a sysmbol that looks like your touchpad, click that and reset it there.
  23. Now if you could spell 'unacceptable' that would make this thread more acceptable. Or, if you made your post in one of the 20 threads that are along the same theme rather than make another one, that would be even more acceptable.
  24. lol Ahh well, a serious topic was worth a try. "blame Canada, blame Canada !!!!"
