  3. VAR.

    VAR is a shambles and should be got rid of, brings nothing to the game, instead of clearing up controversy it muddies the water even further . It breaks up the flow of the game and leaves fans and players alike confused and bewildered.

    Yes , I know it’s humans that make the ultimate decisions but for me I’d rather discuss the performance of a useless, incompetent or biased ref in the pub after the game rather than said ref, how many more arseholes in a wee office somewhere, multiple camera angles , stupid offside lines & replays and even more baffling decisions .

    Saturdays Motherwell game was a beauty ….. to disallow ‘Wells goal after the ball shaves off a jumping players arm which he Knew nothing about then refuse the same team a Penalty after Shinnie blatantly hits the ball with his elbow is beyond belief !  What f**king good did the cameras and slo-mos do there 

    keep yer pitchside monitor, yer  ref doing his ‘it’s a TV programme ‘Charades crap & a couple of guys hiding in a wee office . Costs money we don’t have & delays the game unnecessarily.

    VAR has ruined the game with the offside by a baw hair decisions at times your sitting wondering if it worth celebrating a goal incase you look like a bam when its disallowed ( especially when you know Collums involved in our games) .Between VAR and the handball laws it’s just feckin up the game , go back to refs and linesmen feckin it up without electronic help.

    It might be sh!te decisions by the on-field @rseholes but at least it's cheaper sh!te without paying for the hidden sh!ts.

    So you're all still on the fence then?

    Where do Celtic play ? Peebles ?

    "A" pattern still continues, just not the same one.  You just drop the cup bit and now it's "Win and keep a clean sheet against teams not from Glasgow."  If we win against Livi but don't keep a clean sheet then the pattern becomes "Win against teams not from Glasgow.  If we draw it becomes "Only lose against teams from Glasgow."  Etc.

     

    The whole point was to show Elvis' pattern stuff up for the nonsense it is.  You can find "a pattern" in almost any set of results.

    Yeah, I see a pattern, we score and keep clean sheets in cup games and league games against teams that aren't from Glasgow. If it continues we will win the Scottish Cup and only lose another 3 league games by the end of the season.

    See what I did there? "Patterns" mean nothing.

    Or maybe they mean something - the pattern continues. :thumbs2

    The Uefa Nations League draw takes place on Thursday February 8th 2024 in Paris, starting at 5pm UK time.

    Who would you like to face?

    Pot 1: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Netherlands


    Pot 2: Denmark, Portugal, Belgium, Hungary


    Pot 3: Switzerland, Germany, Poland, France


    Pot 4: Israel, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Scotland

    No easy games but, for me, Croatia, Hungary and Poland. Only because they are the ones I know least about, so I could be totally wrong. [emoji1787]

    Do you see a pattern with those results if it continues we are getting beat on Wednesday and winning  on Sunday would prefer other way around.

    Or too use another anology, that toe nail looks a bit infected, best just cut the leg off just in case. 
    No, it would be "that toenail might be infected, best take this medication just in case, even though it might not be."

    Or, put this sun protection on, it might prevent you getting skin cancer. You might not get skin cancer if you don't put it on, but if you do it's too late to try and prevent it. You might still get skin cancer even if you do put it on, but at least you tried to prevent it.

    Can’t see Baccus moving this window. His agent will probably have a PCA in place already.

    Baccus and Strain may share the same agent. Can see both moving on next season. 
    Strain may well stay in Scotland at a higher wage paying club.
    Love both to stay in Paisley but just being realistic. 
    Can't see any of them with us next season. 
    If I could choose just one of them to lose it would be - the agent.

    It may have had an effect on the issues in the New scientist article (aerosol quadrupling) however the Washington times article is concerned with the Maunder Minimum which would not be related to CFCs in the atmosphere. (See below) Given the amount of different experts telling me about the different catastrophes which are going to happen in the future, you can see why people of my generation tend to be sceptical about man made climate change.

    The Maunder Minimum - being the lack of sun spots (and having a minimal contribution to the mini ice age) - ended in 1715. More sun spots (as we've had since then), in combination with a depleted ozone layer (caused by CFCs etc), would allow more UV through and potentially cause more warming.

    Everything's linked, no effect (positive or negative) stands alone.

    If man made climate change is not real it still does no harm to the planet to act as if it is. If it is real and we act as if it isn't, then we have potentially f**ked up the planet (at least short-term (geologicaly)), f**ked ourselves and also many other living organisms.

    Why look after your house if you're not going to look after your street, your neighbourhood, your town, etc? It's all linked, no man is an island, blah, blah blah.

    How would you feel if a smoker blew smoke in your face and, when you complained, they said "I don't believe all that science stuff that says it's bad"?

    Anyway, enough of this.

    I thought (obviously in error) that if people wanted to read the full article they could access it themselves. You could just have taken my word for it in the first place. 
    A link would have been helpful in that case. You originally never mentioned the (missing) headline, just mentioned "warmest January" as if it was your opinion on what you had posted (i.e. the screenshot).

    Not at all.

    You posted a screenshot without the headline then made a comment that referred to the missing headline and, seemingly, expected people to know that you were referring to information that wasn't presented.

    Then, instead of just saying "oops" and posting that screenshot of the headline, you double down on your error by trying to accuse someone else of not reading properly and missing the "first line" - you know, the first line that you never supplied.
