A man was at work one day, just going about his normal business when he heard a voice saying "Go home now, go home now". He looked around but could see no one speaking to him. But still he could here the voice "Go home now, go home now". Not wanting to appear mad by asking someone if they could here the voice, he decided to go home, just in case. When he got to the house, again he heard a voice "Go inside now, go inside now" He opened the door tentatively and went inside, the house was empty, as it should have been. Again came the voice "Go upstairs now, go upstairs now", which he did accordingly. At the top of the stairs he heard the voice again "Sell your home and all your possessions, sell your home and all your possessions" At this the man decides enough is enough and shouts out "No I will not listen to a voice in my head", and makes his way out. However the voice is unrelenting and for the next few days it continues "Sell your home and all your possessions, sell your home and all your possessions", until he can take it no more and agrees, at which point the voice stops. Over the next month the man sells off all his possessions, the last of which being his house. As soon as the man signs on the sale of the house, again comes the voice "Buy a ticket and go to America, buy a ticket and go to America", which he duly does. As soon as he gets to America,comes the voice "Go to a casino, go to a casino", an order which he again follows. Once in the casino the voice comes again "Put all your money on red, put all your money on red" Having gone this far, the man had no hesitation in putting all the money he has in the world on the red square. He watches as the wheel spins around and around and can't believe his ears as the croupier shouts out "7 Black". Again comes the voice "Oh, sorry".

I don't see how playing for your school can be of any benefit to a young players development.
LOL at you who had a go at Fear for taking things out of context. If you read the full post it is referring to kids who are signed by clubs that don't allow them to play for there schools. Hence my answer, i think they will be developed far better at a football club than by Mr wilson the Geography teacher. ' That depends on whether Mr Wilson is a protestant or a Catholic, no? Comments like that don't really help now do they  but they can't hurt can't they?..really?  lol you're the best, boldie, always give me a chuckle. Wait til Thomas the Tank engine and the Fat Controller get here, they'll  you.

"Well, no. I don't partucularly care about Scottish football
Old Firm supporter then?  nice post boldie. Still spouting a lot of nonsense & showing how little you know about the situation - to avoid looking like a dunderheid leave things you know little or nothing about alone would be a good move. It was a joke. And I know 'little or nothing about it' because I don't happen to share your opinion about it. The aggressive nature of your post makes your position as moderator a dubious choice.

Nasty songs?
They are tribal songs, i hate their songs they hate our songs, but we love our own songs. UEFA should stick their sanctions up theire arse and leave us be. We've been like this for years!!!! They want to \f\'ck the pope we want to F@ck the queen... so what. We chant abuse at them, they do it back. Celtic & Rangers fan live together, socialise together are friends with each other (tho i appreciate not all) but come match day its all out the window.
Went to a Tottenham match v Wigan bout 18 months ago and some of the sickening racist / mocking of disabled people i heard was disgusting with the stewards and police standing around doing nothing about it. Thats a real problem worth sorting.
Correct me if i'm wrong Celtic & Rangers fans.
Maybe the stadium is somewhere it can be contained.  We english really don't have a true analogy for this down here. Maybe if there was a Christian team vs a Muslim team there would be chants of 'There's only one Mohammed' while the Christians waved their halftime snacks around during Ramadan. At least then there'd be some substance behind the tribal membership. I mean: how many Rangers supporters are actually believing churchgoers? While I was on holiday I did witness two Scots meeting for the first time and one of them brought up football, the other said that he supported 'Partick Thistle'. Someone afterwards told me that he probably didn't support Partick thistle, this was just a codeword for 'I don't want to get involved with any Old Firm debates'. Is this true?

couple of points
anyone born or braught in most there life in scotland and support england or ireland before scotland are idiots and as fergus8 says should be deported
2. mcgeady is a rat... hes a celtic player so as a celtic fan playing for celtic i support him but on an international stage hes a rat and should be deportd also
 As alway, the voice of reason. I don't know what upsets me more, the singing of Rule Britannia or the booing at Miller. Thats an easy one!! Next question? Will the Old Firm teams be able to get a big enough grip on their supporters to stop them singing nasty songs/posting them on forums quickly enough to stop financial/points/other sanctions from the SPL/UEFA? Or are the authorities just sabre-rattling?

Anywaaaayyyy...
Are we agreed that I'm not a silly billy for believing in God?
You are the most sane person on blonde:) Hardly a very high bar.  Tilley for PHA mod. I wonder if you would ever see the Monkey Bridge Scenario in the UK. Seems like the civil liberties argument always gets in the way of Faith v Reason hitting court. They got close with Creationism being taught in schools in the USA; 'We don't think it should be taught in schools' 'Your reason being?' 'It's bullshit' 'That's not a valid reason'. 'I don't think she should be allowed to wear full hibjab in passport photos' 'Your reason being?' 'I can't see her face in the picture' 'You can't see her face in real life, idiot, do you have a real reason?'

I have a Wii with pretty much every game. Play it now and then, whenever I want a short game of something. For serious gaming and graphics I resort to the PC. Command and conquer 3, driver, CS:source.
Wii for show, PC for in the know.
For some reason I never find a first person shooter very immersive on a console. Maybe I'm just so used to the 'keyboard-WASD and mouse' over a handheld controller and also the screen being right in my face. http://www.leechvideo.com/video/view2048455.html

Cos Rangers supporters support Scotland and what separates Rangers identity from Celtic Identity is stronger than what binds them under scottish identity. Sad, but true.
Loved the knife post, classic.
what a lot of pish again mate , please dont post on topics you know nothing about. i'm not getting drawn into a debate about sectarianism , all i will say , is the majority of the Tartan Army are not Old Firm fans. you'll find it's guys who go week in week out to watch Peterhead or Raith Rovers and spend their hard earned to go out and enjoy the big game atmosphere's these campaigns bring. i was in the pub last night watching the game with about 12 - 15 mates some Rangers fans , some Celtic fans , but last night we were Scotland fans , we enjoyed the game together and we partied hard together afterwards , try telling some of them their Rangers or Celtic identity is stronger than the bond we had last night with Scottish identity. ps. i don't think it's a minority of Celtic fans who support Scotland either. fans from either side who support Ireland or England and NOT Scotland , they deserve to be deported in my opinion , but that's another topic. You are entirely right and I am completely wrong. I wish I knew some of the "patter" so that I could engage with you on this matter but I don't so I won't.

not s single policeman in sight and certainly no riot police
nothing thrown at the passing cars
no wonder most of europe wants scotland at the major championships
Thats only because when your false dawn arrives (as it always does) they know your team is a bunch of lucky donks who will easily be rolled over at the Euro Champs  cant argue with that we know we are going to get hammered but we will get hammered twice on the park and in the bar and not one punch will be thrown Thats only because those mofo's from Glasgow have no clue what to do with their hands once their knives have been taken off them at airport security! you will likely find that the majority of the tartan army live outside glasgow Yep..and this is what REALLY confuses me "Celtic fans don't really care about the Scottish national side" I have been told this many a time (Bandit posted something similar on the betting forum yesterday) and it's baffling to me. Why would you not support your national side simply because you have a club side? Cos Rangers supporters support Scotland and what separates Rangers identity from Celtic Identity is stronger than what binds them under scottish identity. Sad, but true.
