Looks like they've bottled out from making a decision.... Season starts in just over a month, chaps...

Italy ream our asses and are two places below.

Indeed, thought he'd died years ago until he popped up at the beginning of Goblet of Fire.

Welcome to the world of science funding..... How co-incidental is it that the Tevatron in the US suddenly started finding hints of the Higgs boson just as it was shutting down ??? I dont believe any of them or their data. I made the same point on the global warming thread.

Prefer : SIS (Saints in Stripes). Maybe too close to SISA. or : SISSQ (Saints in Stripes, Sash or Quarters) or : SNS (Saints, Not Scousers)

I can well imagine that the whole "we're not going to allow Rangers back in" stance by some of the SPL clubs was simply playing to their fan bases and that when push-came-to-shove, they were always going to vote yes with a heavy heart. In that case, how to punish Rangers ?? If the turkeys really do vote for Xmas and give a definitive "no", I think this indicative of the mentality north of the border which in a couple of years time is going to lead to Scottish independence and shortly afterwards Scottish bankruptcy. They seem to struggle with the realities of situations up north...

This doesnt surprise me at all. They want their pound of flesh, but know what side their bread is buttered on.

Well, I am wondering how they will manage without Rangers too, to be honest. Quite frankly, with all the points-scoring, petty revenge and childishness going on up there, the whole house of cards deserves to come crashing down.

Go fill yer boots. Take the p*ss out of someone then go whining to the mods like a cry-baby in the playground. Superb.

I imagine he is referring to the fact you bothered at all, not the amount of effort involved. Actually, I being to feel sorry for you; clearly something is missing from your existence. You carry on with the "fat bastard" jibes mate, if it brings something to your sad life, and every time you do it I will remember that you are a dumb animal in need of love and attention...

This, really. And I get abuse about being the sad billy-no-mates with no life. At least I have no time or inclination to do this to someone on here, however much they've annoyed me.

Well done for going to find that. A thread started in humour, a bit of fun, is used to bash me over the head at very opportunity years later. What a bunch of sad f**ks you are. The size was a screw up by my mother who bought and posted my sash shirt to me. My size is XL, which considering Umbro tailoring means probably L from other clothing manufacturers. Look, you lot can take me to task for my opinions and outlook as much as you want. But this hack is getting really tedious.

Yep, touche. I leave myself open as fair game. Thats what your persistent irritating puerile "nah-nah-ne-nah-nah" posting does to me. You must be VERY proud of the level of discussion you instigate on here.

You must be about #1 troll on here nowadays; if anyone positions themselves with a strongly-held opinion, you come along and sneer at it and post a contrary comment or some specious little factlet as a leading question that in your opinion completely blows apart their viewpoint (often it gets nowhere near doing that). Thats Ok because you are not "aggressive", is it ? Leave it out with the whiter-than-white garbage. You are dull and tedious.

Be quiet, Pillsbury-Dough Troll.

I see you are just the latest person to become obsessed with me. Really, you just make yourself look stupid. As for "morbidly obese" - please tell me how on earth you know that. You know nothing about me, just like I know nothing about you. Yes, I am not rake-like, but my Umbro size is XL, which is probably L in other clothes labeles. You've jumped on a moronic bandwagon of easy, lazy abuse about something you know nothing about. I am getting quite fed up of my opinion being greeted with variants on the "fat bastard" theme. Mods, surely this constitutes abuse ?

Right, of course. Makes sense now. The Scottish FA and SPL need to be seen to be punishing Rangers (first division) but not too much (lowest division) otherwise they suffer financially. If it is only one year (first division) they may be able to stall over the various TV rights agreeements and reduced gate receipts may be survivable. I assume this is where all the sh*t from Celtic is coming from about just stripping their titles from the history books; put them back in the SPL with such punishment/humilliation and Celtic still get their money.

Bothered.

Well, today is the day...maybe. Apparently there are 3 possibilities : 1. Back in SPL, many sanctions. Lots of opposition 2. In First Div, some opposition 3. In lowest division, massive opposition from SPL because of "huge damage it does the over 41 clubs" according to the CEO of the SPL. Personally I would stick them in the lowest division as a matter or principle; does anyone understand this "huge damage" argument ?

Surprised it took over 100 posts; Stargate is my absolute favourite; I like the sci-fi link to archaeology and the history of humans on Earth through religious belief.

Big Trekkie, me. Love TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY (got them all on DVD for my retirement). Some really brilliant stories within that lot, the best is an episode of TNG called "Inner Light" which makes me cry bucketloads everytime I see it. Also the episode about Data's daughter. Couldnt get into Enterprise, mainly because I found Jolene Blalock's Vulcan interpretation really annoying, a real caracature of the Vulcan personality. From the films, I actially love First Contact as a stand-alone film, dont care the impact on the Borg canon. Its by far the best ST film; by far. The lead up to the Enterprise-E joining the battle and then the deflector dish battle are just superb. After that I put the films in order IV, II, VI, reboot, III, VII, I, IX, V, X Also massive Stargate fan. Richard Dean Anderson is brilliant in the first 6/7 SG-1 series, his caustic wit makes the series. Also love Rodney McKay in Atlantis, such a compley personality that on one levelis bloody annoying but bloody brilliant and his colleagues love him (but wont admit it). Couldnt get into SGU however, just too much of a deviation from canon for me. Also got all the DVDs for my retirement. Still love Star Wars out of loyalty, but scared to take the plunge into Blu-Ray territory to see what bastardisations Lucas has done now. Lots of great one-off films out there - Colossus: Forbin Project, Capricorn One, Silent Running, Event Horizon. Still a lot out there I am not up om, such as Battlestar Galactica re-boot. Missed opportunity due to cancellation : Space Above and Beyond. Absolute Crap I Could Never Get Into : Dr. Who. Really dont get the fuss.

If it gets them moist, whats the problem ?

Maybe the mods arent quite as thick as certain people on here and realise that if I am offensive (which is nowhere near as often as the bandwagon impression gives) it is quite often under extreme duress. Maybe they also actually read what I wrote and take it at face-value as if someone other than alpine_saint was writing it and are not straining at the leash to be abusive.

Brilliant.

Works for me. Bye-bye Overseas Aid Bye-bye Invalidity Allowance Bye-bye unlimited immigration
