Yep, I had a typo. It happens more and more to me these days, as for the rest, well it's just your usual pish & lies. You can try and rewrite history but you have shown yourself to be a bully and you attract a small number of jacket-holders with your emoji-filled pish. You are a proven liar and a troublemaker who claims people will be frightened of you if they ever have to meet you.
But you seem happy in your wee world, despite all this. I can only hope you get all this crap out of your system so that you can be reasonable in your real life, i do fear for those who know you once you are deprived of this outlet though. That might mean you have to be an insufferable wee prick in real life instead of just in your online one. Let's see how well you get on once that reality (it's a thing) arrives.

Hikarious.
Again, selective memory as the forum members you mention had many other members who "went after" them, as you so eloquently put it.
Time you had a wee nap, you're losing the plot.
You sobered up yet?

Surely that is all the more reason just to completely ignore?
What’s the point in continuing to get angry over this?
On that I shall kindly excuse myself from any further discussion. Life is way too short.
Maybe you didn't subscribe to the forum at the time when Shull and the Phantom Bantam were pals. He is more than able to look after himself but to watch the way those two went after Antin, Isle of Bute Saint, Lord Pityme and a few others with their incessant baiting was less than edifying.
I don''t think Antrin is in the least troubled by these guys, more that it amuses him to point out the nonsense levels on a forum he used to enjoy posting on. If he thinks we can get back to the very enjoyable debate we used to have then he is sadly mistaken, that's all I'll say. People who wouldn't say a word to you in real settings are revelling in the anonymous hard-man schtick and they love it too much to let it go. They actually think every lost poster is a wee victory for them.

Spelling alert.
If your going to wade in on someone's behalf try to get the spelling right and stop whining about violence while throwing out your veiled threats.
A typo, not spelling. look up the difference.
Show me a veiled threat that I made, you were the one suggesting that someone should meet you but they would shite themselves. Too much rats piss in your cave on Saturday night certainly loosened your tongue in a most unpleasant way.

@antrin you seem utterly broken by two internet aliases.
Two individuals you have likely never met. Nor are you likely to ever want to meet them.
You have them on ignore which is great, but I’ve absolutely no idea why the rest of the forum needs to know this every week.
Do you send photos of junk mail you receive through your letter box to Royal Mail?
You seem to be a very intelligent individual. I’m really not sure why these aliases continue to upset you.
I hope everything is ok with you. I sincerely mean that despite any previous heated discussions between ourselves.
It’s just that this is very odd behaviour for a guy in the later stages of life to get upset about.
You should be aware that one of these individuals offered to settle their differences with Antrin in a boxing ring a few years ago, a classy touch to offer violence to someone who was already a pensioner and who he would never have me or wnat to meet (sic)

1.You know when you buy a ST that some games will be moved
2. if you got an early bird ST then the fixtures hadn’t even been compiled when you bought it
3.The game has been moved due to European football,nothing to do with Sky
NO
I take your point, but the announcement does mention sky sports. Even if it were to be a Sunday game due to Europa league, Sky would still move the kick-off from 3pm or to an empty midweek slot.

Are they going to reimburse people who bought season tickets with these games included who now can't go because Sky don't give a f**k about them.
Ticketing and refunds are all down to the home team, maybe the club should offer an optional partial refund, a voucher for someone else to attend in your absence or a guest voucher for someone to come with you to a future game where there is likely to be room.
That might be costly though but maybe for a small extra sum the club could recognise the realities of live televised games and the impact of guaranteed date & time changes when we play the scum in Paisley. European ties are one thing but we know Sky and maybe others will be there for at least three home games every season and the kick-off times will be changed to suit their schedule even if the date isn't.

If you are going to bully someone on another's behalf, at least get the spelling and grammar right

To summarize the overnoght postings on this subject
"Don't delay leave today
Get out now while you can
Don't be daft leave your half
To the hard drinking man
And if they start knocking
It's just the booze talking
They've got the Malt and Barley Blues" -

Nonsense! No team deserved to win that absolute shitfest of a game.
Obviously when you go behind so late on, you’re going to feel a bit lucky getting a point, but that doesn’t mean we deserved to lose the game. Both teams were shite.Livingston's tactics were to push, kick and lean on our guys at every contact and with the size of their players it is incredibly hard to counter that if you put out a side of comparative midgets. The ref was also scandalous and if he couldn't make a decision he stopped the game and ordered a bounce up, which he usually handled by dropping the ball in front of one player. On one occassion two players tangled while waiting for a free kick and got up, he stopped the game, took the ball 8 metres to the left of where the free kick had been taken and dropped it for Saints to pLay. Why he did't just ignore the tangle and let them sort themselves out is beyond me.
On that basis I'd say that if we had had a strong ref then they would have been 3 or 4 bookings to the bad by half time and they could easily have been risking a dismissal for the persistent fouling.
All that being said, if Dunne was fit then we need his height and pace from the start, and we could have been using Gogic in front of the defence and defending the high line more effectively. We were wasteful on both wings, with McMenamin being naive ratther than uselesll in his passing.
With all that said, anyone who thinks a fit Alex,O'Hara doesn't walk straight back into that team is somewhat deluded. Jamieson also looks like a young man on the verge of cutting loose and REALLY showing us what he's got, we werea different side going forward when McMenamin went off.
The shortcomings of the squad as it is right now have cost us two wins and the ref's haven't helped, meanwhile the team selections seem more set up to suit the manager's philosophy than they are for the opposition's game and conditions.

Trying to buy a ticket this morning but no area highlighted as being available. Last night section M was available but nearly filled but now nothing. Anyone else having same issue.
I'm pretty sure they will open another section if the initial allocation sells out, they really need the money

Can we change the tilte of this thread to "Daily Mail Discards too flimsy for GB News"?
It would cover the subject matter much more comprehensively.

It’s changing all over, Ireland who have been very progressive about minority rights in the past are now backtracking after up roar from parents. I have no problem with drag artists as a form of entertainment, but when you really think about it, it’s a man dressing as a woman for their own sexual gratification teaching 10 year olds about an ideology with no evidence base.
Do cross-dressers dress for their gratification or simply because the feel more comfortable in the attire usually associated with the opposite sex?

I was thinking more of a wellness centre and respite area for distressed local charity executives.

Maybe a pub at the away end is not a great idea.

I appreciate many folk don't like him. However, not all of our support will despise him as you clearly do, so in that respect it's divisive. Besides, irrespective of one's politics, I think it takes guts for him to run the line. I can't imagine any other Scottish politician having the (metaphorical) balls to do it? Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon or Humza Yousaf? Nae chance.
As Father Ted once said "priests aren't fascists, fascists walk around dressed in black telling other people what to do"
He tries to do that in no less than 4 jobs, nice work (sic) if you can get it. I seem to remember him bleating about the pressure politics places on family time, ooh! the nerve! He even cited his family when Ruthie baby resigned saying he knows how hard it is to juggle politics and family (his wife is a cop)
"Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross has been slammed by international human rights groups and Scottish Gypsy/Traveller elders after emails uncovered by openDemocracy show he tried to have a family of Travellers evicted by the local council because their camp was “very visible”.
In the email, released to openDemocracy under the Freedom of Information Act, Ross says “the site has now been occupied for some time and is in a very visible location as you enter Moray from the west.”
He also complains that “it seems to be getting bigger” and asks the council chief executive “what plans you have to take action to remove the Travellers from the site”.
He also spoke against drag queen story time, has he never been to a pantomime? (outside of the one he lives in)
Ross is an annoyance, i don't despise him even though he is an unerringly negative person whose main contribution to political discourse seems to be pointing out how bad everyone else is without having anything to refer to for his own merits. He serves his side of the debate very poorly.

You're having a shocker with your apostrophes today, Antrin.
As for the Old Firm, I would suggest the history is slightly different. Celtic were established as a charitable club to benefit the Irish poor of the city, based on Edinburgh's Hibs. Right from the start Celtic were involved in Irish politics, and Michael Davitt laid the first sod of shamrock at the club's ground.(1) Davitt had been a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and was convicted for smuggling arms. (2)
Celtic quickly became a very successful club and was very fiercely Irish, with the club's fans singing rebel songs and flying the Irish tricolour (some 30 years before Ireland gained independence and it became an official flag) and this annoyed many Scots. When Rangers began to challenge them, Scots from towns outwith Glasgow adopted Rangers as their club, which de facto became an anti-Irish club.
At least that's how I remember it from the various books I have read. I recommend Bill Murray's book on the subject, as it actually explores the social history of Glasgow and the West of Scotland in considerable detail.
Personally, I don't like our club being associated with politics at all - which is why I didn't like the booing of Douglas Ross when he ran the line on Sunday.

Douglas Ross is a wee fat ride and a notably poor football official. Try making a song out of that, though
