yeah well get this: some cunt of a minister for the National Party, who are in government here,has just signed off a huge area of native forest and stuff to be mined...when asked about the area he didnt even know where the area was or even what it was, he just signed it off to be mined because this government is totally sucking the dick of big businesses
like a huge area of pristine native forest, which in itself is a wonderful asset to have and mining it is obscene
fucking hell
That is exactly why i said yet. Do not get me wrong i hate the extreme conservationists that prevent progress, but that is shocking from the perspective that the minister should be fully aware of the area and consquences

Oh dear this has to be the worst lie yet i eagerly await all the attendances and accounts to be compared along with all of the above points
Jackson ye have lost the plot man!

Thoughts and prayers to the poor girls family. To hear of young people losing their life is tragic. A very touching gesture and chin up to all the UB'S

Hmmm can think of a few reasons why NZ is so good
You are lucky the place is magnificent and largely unspoiled yet due to socio/economical and technological factors

She was just a slip of a girl, perhaps 6 or 7 at most. Her starched white blouse with its razor like creases, complimented the perfectly pleated grey school skirt and black shoes, the latter having been cleaned to a standard which afforded a mirror like reflection. She was almost dwarfed by the large wreath she bore, lilies and poppies interlaced by a florist who was quite clearly at the very top of her game. The little girl would soon be relieved of her floral burden as she laid it in accordance with the instructions her mother had given. Her mind turned to the great great grandfather she had heard of only in story, who fell at a place called Thiepval , and an elder brother she would never know, for he died just a few yards from where she currently stood. Across the street on a plain grey and white sign were the words “Omagh Shopping Centre”.
Sometimes the ordinary, the everyday, that which we take for granted, can in themselves be symbols of bravery when exercised elsewhere. Perhaps we should be grateful we live in communities which make no such demands of us.
The recent confiscation of a Red Hand Flag from a Northern Irish Rangers supporter entering Ibrox, and the subsequent furore it caused, only served to emphasise how raw the subject of Ulster remains within the Rangers support. With a significant number of Ulstermen contributing to the Rangers support such rawness should come as no surprise, notwithstanding the shared heritage, faith and history and language between Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Those with longer memories will remember the airbrushing of picture to erase the Red Hand Flag from a Rangers photograph as well as the censure of Zoe Salmon on BBC’s Blue Peter for having the temerity to say “'I'm from Ulster and I'd like to cover a plane with the Red Hand Of Ulster” when explaining a British Airways “Best of British” logo competition.
The enemies of the Protestant/Unionist community in Ulster have sown their seeds of hatred well. And perhaps more significantly, continue to cultivate.
Of course in the broad church, or Rangers family, such sentiment or concern is not shared by all. There are those amongst our support who view the whole subject of Ulster and her trials and tribulations as “nothing to do with us”. Thankfully, a view not shared by the Ulstermen who laid down their lives to protect these shores in 2 world wars; or the generations from Northern Ireland who have supported this club overcoming significant logistical difficulties to follow follow. Nonetheless it does however remain a legitimate position to adopt.
But perhaps not without cost. Having no interest in the political or religious affairs of Ulster may well be proposed and argued as a reasonable viewpoint, particularly amongst an ever increasingly secular support, but does such disconnection and disassociation from the issues affecting a considerable section of our support usurp and weaken the notion of a “Rangers Family” ? Before anyone accuses me of waxing lyrical, many older bears will attest that years ago being part of the Rangers support had a sense of family at its beating heart.
It is a strange anomaly of life that one has to either step outside, or come from outside in order to effectively defend something, whether that be an organisation, an institution or a community of people.
Ruth Dudley Edwards did just that. The Dublin middle-class academic of Catholic background was given warts and all access to the Loyal Institutions in Northern Ireland. Her critically acclaimed book “The Faithful Tribe” not only gives intriguing insight to the loyal institutions themselves, but also wider aspects of community life in Northern Ireland. She completely destroys much of the Sinn Fein propaganda and exposes the true nature of the “residents groups” and their formation. The way she disarms the veiled threats against her for speaking the truth, is well worth the read itself.
I fully accept and understand that there will be those reading this who are genuinely struggling to understand the raw emotion Ulster generates amongst our support. I can only leave you with a signpost however – the words of the late Labour leader John Smith:
“These are my people, and I will never desert them”
Great piece hope your short sabbatical refreshed ye. Is the book on amazon?

He has the second highest wage bill in scotland.
He lost yesterday to a team of kids and free transfers, He may only have lost 3 games all season, but against part time teams.
Le guen was hunted for far less than Alistair.
He was fecking not he dropped more points and had the 2nd highest wage bill then We lost to St Johnstone in the cup when they were a division below first in history, septic played us of the park, the dressing room was in turmoil and the only one of his team was sasa papac that ever amounted to anything. His style was no good for the game and finally he made a good buck from us and left by mutual consent with a payout
-
We'd have lost nothing bringing him on for Aird and Clark for Shiels with 20 minutes left. Fresh legs would have kept the pressure on but instead we get the baffling swap of Aird for Clark. I do agree he should be used sparingly at this stage but yesterday was a good chance to further his career.
I agree

I think Ally staying is in the best interest of the club but if he gets sacked ill still be there - supporting- and not chucking the dummy oot
This
As for the youth he plays more than any old firm manager has for decades now, when will people see it is a long-term job for all of Scottish football. The tight finances means youth are now getting more opportunities than the previous generations. He can only play the ones he has got and he must win the leagues so whether people like it or not it is a balancing act and before we hear about QOS they do not have 40,000 + fans screaming at the young guns when it goes ti** up
-
It is the reality with social media websites and years of tabloid celebrities have made people obsessed or the keyboard warrior
-
Maybe because the biggest organised religion in the world says its a sin they feel they have to stand up and say we're proud of our sexuality and no organisation run by perverts is going to keep us down
And maybe ye could reverse that
-
I would send it
Actions not words
-
As long as Ally is in the job he gets my support and backing but i think this is the guy one of the other bearettes was telling me about
-
Aye off course it is Britain 2014, we all need to be mindful of the minorities. In fact i think we should change the strips.
The shirt should be a tri-colour design
The shorts should be like the netball ones underwear and skirts for the trannies
The socks should be multi-cultured tied up with rosaries
The football boots should have rainbow laces
Just jesting i thought we already had an open gay in Whittiker
-
To be brutally frank i thought we should have had the league and Ramsden in the bag a decent cup run in either of the others was fine with the squad we had.
-
Oh dear what a shame and it just goes to show how easy it should have been another one of Dungcastors failed predictions how Scottish football will thrive without us it is a bigger mess than when we left it mind you so are we.
-
I think he will get his chance but lets not ruin the young lad, by to much pressure as expectation is high
-
If it is a better deal for the club cool
-
I thought wee Calum Gallagher was the focus
-
Inglorious bastar** are the BBC and septic
-
He has had a good season and won us a few games and played his part in more.
Overall his temperament has been okay he has had challenges that have on occasion merited criminal prosecution
The last few games have not been his best but to downplay his whole season is unbelievable
-
Terrific from him, terrific gesture from a class act.
some on here seem to think he should be going without sleep at night to work on his tackling.
Now there an idea

Rangers Charity Foundation
The Rangers Charity Foundation was created in 2002 and participates in a wide range of charitable work, regularly involving Rangers staff and star players. The foundation also has partnerships with UNICEF, The Prostate Cancer Charity and Erskine, and is responsible for over £2.3 million in donations. As well as fundraising, the Rangers Charity Foundation regularly bring sick, disabled and disadvantaged children to attend matches and tours at Ibrox, with the chance to meet the players.[193][194]
Fair play to him for his off field work - as others have said - a better example than most of our lot - but I genuinely don't care about anything but the football when I judge a player and his displays for months now have been atrocious and I just want him gone. His arrogance on the field is affecting his play because he genuinely seems to believe he is a footballing centre half and he isnt
I have to disagree
-
The guy is a liability as others said more training less promoting. I wonder if all the posters would say the same if big Daly was at chapel doing charity. He needs to improve as a footballer end of.
It is nothing special but a nice gesture
-
It still gets to me all this time on how his life was lost in such a cruel manner It is so unjust and i hope we all remember him for his family's sake always

Constructive criticism is one thing but constant or personal abuse is another.
