Glasgow Red

looking at their run in i think they are toast whichever manager they get. Adios ya wee janners!

This. There are fine margins in football and sometimes these gambles pay off and other times they dont. I don't think the club should stop taking punts on loans because other clubs have definitely used loans to help them get out the champ.

the bogs in the old east end were pretty special. It was pretty much a wall. you did well getting in and out without getting someone else's piss on your leg or shoes!

id love to see a stat on how many teams regularly win 3 or more championship games on the trot, it cant be many? most football fans of clubs in the champ are miserable because winning regularly just doesn't happen often.

Who would want to be a goalkeeper?

Im still looking for 1 spare in upper lansdown if anyone has one.

April Fools gets earlier every year

That was miserable!

I disagree with this I think. My jam is rock and roll but that doesn't mean I haven't respected and looked forward to headliners from other genres in the past. Adele, Elton John, Dolly Parton, Jay-z, Beyonce, Kanye west, the prodigy, stormyzy, David Bowie. All artists from genres I dont like at all but at least respected and had a buzz about because they are icons from their respective genres. This years lineup seems like a shit show in comparison but I'm old and grumpy so maybe its just I dont get the kids.

Do you have any proof of this? Otherwise I'm not really sure how you can say I'm wrong.

I dont remember too many people at the time being upset with his sacking. We had been awful for months before. Just as bad if not worse than Mannings last 6 games. People need to learn to have perspective. Fair, you did!

Steve Cotterill was sacked because he was about to get us relegated from this division. The amazing League One season seems to alter peoples memory.

Amazing so many people jump to the defence of the police and their tactics given their track record in recent years. Im pretty shocked!

Private security guards are not allowed to put their hands on people pretty much period. So I'm surprised if this a common thing. They will likely get fired for doing so.

Yeh, lets leave it. Though a day will probably come when policing is far more authoritarian and you change your mind. Its a slippery slope for sure. And the beefed up police and dog presence is a relatively new thing as others have pointed out.

If stewards are manhandling people they are most probably breaking the law. Its a weird comparison.

In fairness i did kind of backtrack on "privacy" when someone else pointed it out.

Sounds like a cop or ex cop?

Sad to hear a fellow fan thinks I should stay away from going to see my team because drunk on power cops want to shove their dogs in my face. Not really a nice way to say it but I do think you have bootlicking tendancies here, sorry mate.

Yes! And this is where most of the arguments in this thread fall down. End of the day, the scrutiny and surveillance football fans come under is just not fair or subjective compared to other events where plenty of drugs and anti social behaviour happen. I dont even think many would disagree with that. Its obvious.

Fordy you are kind of proving my point. This is how coppers can think, you are now suggesting I was doing something wrong! Oh dear!

"I know nothing im just sat here looking at pretty colours"

I know this is a joke but the obvious difference is that would be out of choice

Sorry but id rather run the risk of being with what you describe as "tanked up bellends" than being made to feel like a criminal for no reason. If that's the trade off then I 100% stand on the side of not having police treat good citizens like that. No accountability for our peers? what are you talking about? Ever heard of the criminal justice system? There are other ways to catch and treat people breaking the law without making the vast majority feel uncomfortable. The playbook here is always the same. People like you defend it as harmless. But we all know that if I had put up any kind of objection (which i would have been within my rights to do) to the dogs being put around me I would have been jumped on by 10 old bill and searched, maybe even arrested. Its only harmless until the slightest provocation or innocent objection and they treat us like animals, wise up!

You serious? Were you there last night? I travel through airports a dozen times a year and cant remember the last time I was approached by a police officer this way.
