Thousands of Russian fans are marching before tonights euro2012 match v Poland to mark independence - some Poles see it as provocation- so things are getting violent. Anyhow...

KTO DZIS WYGRA MECZ?! POLSKA! Polskaaaa!!! Trzymam kciuki!!!!

Are you inciting violence Ally? Suspect

Or just picking sides? Suspect

Lots of violence before the game

Thought this sort of stuff stopped years ago.

by Pettytyrant101 Wed Jun 13, 2012 1:20 pm

I dont think it ever stops it just moves country. Ten years ago it was England fans doing this sort of thing. Now its Russians and Poles. Depressing really.

Well my team are dead. Gone. Liquidation with a new-co replacing it. Crying or Very sad

More than a 100 year sof hostory swept away. Crying or Very sad

And no guarantee the new-co will be allowed back inthe league. Crying or Very sad

Depressing times for a Glasgow Rangers fan indeed.

LOSING AGAIN Rolling Eyes

by Ally Sat Jun 16, 2012 12:30 pm

It is very hard to watch halfpenny kick at goal without saying 'aww, his little face!' or sighing 'angel' (winning again! Very Happy

)

The angry Scots rugby team (ther is no other sort) are going well- thats the aussies beaten (you were quiet about that one Orwell? Suspect

) and now Fiji. cheers

However on a sadder note, much sadder, bordering on suicidly depressing, heres how the Scottish Sun covered the demise of my beloved Rangers. Crying or Very sad

I'm still in a state of shock I think....

by Mrs Figg Sat Jun 16, 2012 5:12 pm

not exactly subtle. Shocked

by Ally Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:15 pm

Polska!!! Bialo czerwonych Polska!!! Bialo czerwonych!!! (Gotta win this game apparently verses the czechs) Very Happy

Similar thing I remember happening to Odra Wodzislaw in the polish leagues a few years back, perhaps not as big as Rangers, but its always a shame especially for the fans and espiecally when you're related to one Very Happy

Did Ozhobitstan pay Scotshobbitland? What? Oh that game that is rough and makes no sense! Wasn't watching. Sleep

Rangers dead? Bring in an (affordable) salary cap. Even up competiton. One or two teams with money winning every year (and finally going broke) is crap. Soccer players get paid too much anyway. Even things up - end the greed - give the game back to the fans. Pick the "Tigers" as your team. Hooray!

From the BBC

'There will be no Scottish or Northern Irish players in the men's British Olympic football squad when it is announced on Monday.
BBC Scotland has learned that manager Stuart Pearce will list 18 players from England and Wales. '
(note- only 2 are Welsh-so more of a token gesture really most likely because one of the stadiums games will be played in is Cardiff in Wales)

Yeah way to go reinforcing the Union guys! Rolling Eyes

Team GB my arse! Evil or Very Mad

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Jun 30, 2012 11:09 pm

Murray is through to the next round at Wimbledon! cheers

Nice one Andy. Means your British still! Very Happy

Well, either you have token players in there which everyone will moan because they are token players, or you pick the best ones and everyone moans because not everyone is represented!

Try living in a sauna with loads of pissed off Italians, its no fun at all.

by Lancebloke Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:43 am

I could imagine living in a sauna woudlnt be too fun.. doesnt the steam mess with your electrical things? Do you have to use the toilet with those italians watching? Shocked

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:23 pm

Well, either you have token players in there which everyone will moan because they are token players, or you pick the best ones- Lance

We do have some international quality footballers you know. Extremely Crabbit

by Lancebloke Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:36 pm

Really? I thought Ally McCoist retired years ago?

by Ally Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:27 pm

Don't forget Stephen Dobbie

(((he is the only Scottish player I've heard of)))

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Jul 02, 2012 4:14 pm

What about Bannan? Plays for Aston Villa. Or Allan Mcgregor, he is an excellent goalkeeper. Whittaker, Wallace and Mulgrew are quailty defenders.
And like it or not there is a political dimension to this at this time, no point pretending there isn't, and this is bad politics making the Great Britain Team almost exclusively Englishmen.
I would have got behind a British team, but an all English one?

And Coisty is managers of what is left of Glasgow Rangers. Talking of which look how many good Scottish players have gone on to be great mangers- Alex Ferguson being the most obvious.

by Ally Mon Jul 02, 2012 5:21 pm

Did any swansea players make the team? I think its fair to say that England has better young players in every positon than northern ni, Scotland and Wales
