  1. Look forward to doing it again in January.
  2. I'm in st Andrews with a shite WiFi connection bit it doesn't need the sums doing to realise we're fucked for goals if this is it. Judge it on Sept 1st? Fucking shite.
  3. Well you preferred to sit elsewhere when a singing section was available, so its not about the same thing for you as the people up there, no matter what you say about having the life force drained by choosing to sit wherever you are. Horses for courses. I’ve already covered this. The location of the signing section was a ploy to shift seats that were hard to sell. It had fuck all to do with improving the atmosphere in the ground; if anything it had the opposite effect. The location sent out a signal that supporters who liked to sing were viewed as second class supporters. You signed up to that principle. I didn’t because I believe singing should be an integral part of all sections of the ground, not shoved away into some remote corner of the stadium. It was like a form of apartheid, social engineering that further diminished the sense of spontaneity and togetherness that lies at the heart of football’s magic. One step away from cheerleaders and playing music when a goal is scored. It wasn’t a solution to the declining atmosphere; it was an extension of the problem. A few years down the line and you're moaning about being treated like crap, but that’s what you signed up to. Whatever the intention, Of the LC what it was is the most vocal part of the stadium. As I said, there's always been unofficial singing areas in the stadium, pockets where the radgies gather, if you think the East Stand was as much a contributer to the racket as the scoreboard was going back 20 years, you're off your head, the notion that the entire stadium can or has ever been the spark for those spine tingling moments when the whole crowd does find full voice is cloud cuckoo land. Those moments need the full stadium, but they also need a spark.

  5. http://tt9m.tumblr.com/ Yet another example of somebody from the LC thinking they are a different breed of supporter; that they are the only supporters who feel limited by the realty of modern football. The fact of the matter is a sizable proportion of supporters who didn’t move to the LC are just as passionate and just as vocal. They’ve had the life squeezed out of them for the very reasons this lad is unhappy with his new home but sure as hell don’t need to be told how to support their club by anyone. He explains perfectly why he's pissed off without suggesting he's better than anyone. He doesn't spoil the game for anyone. You've got a real chip on your shoulder about what a LC supporter is like. Anyone that felt the life was squeezed out of them before could have moved to the corner if they wanted...now they can't.
  6. Lady Gaga - Born This Way Come and get your black bin bags, they're on offer till November Heavy duty black bin bags, whether Bi or straight or bender
  7. Oh dear, we should call you fucking Alexis instead. I think my player observations have been canny over the last year or so whether it be Ferguson, Krul, Cabaye.... Unlike someone I know who constantly has a fence between both cheeks. Anyway, run along and get those nails done. You review players like parky reviews films. Having only seen the trailer and depending on how they suit your current argument
  8. And what will that prove? Personally I miss the terraces, if not the lack of a roof and medieval sanitation. Unfortunately, standing is a thing of the past. The lads and lasses up in the LC were given a temporary reprieve from the reality of today’s football. What they’ve lost is what many of the supporters they slag off lost years ago. Yet, they seem to be so self obsessed they can't see they aren’t the first supporters to stand up or the first supporters to have had that option taken away. The poor atmosphere has fuck all to do with the existence or otherwise of the LC. It’s a consequence of a changing clientele, family friendly regulations and an owner that is kicking the spirit out of the club. Nothing is going to change until the money stops rolling in. So if you really want to bring back the noise the starting point is not buying tickets. Your cause and effect is all screwy. The money hasn't caused the game to be sanitised, the sanitistion has brought money in. Hillsbrough gave the excuse to push what had been wanted (all seaters) politically and by owners for ages....and all with subsidies for building work. Me or anyone else walking away won't affect sky subscriptions one iota. Of course the LC is not the be all and end all. The stadium had great atmospheres before it and will have again, despite the crackdown. The stadium has always had a 'hardcore' section though, where those that want to sing know where they'll be together. Whether it was the Gallowgate corner, the k section. The scoreboard. The Leazes or the corner. Now there isn't. That's a shame and its not something we need explaining, but its something that hurts people who've been going and getting moved about for decades. In fact, standing was much worse once we were moved to the corner than it had been since the gallowgate closed. So there is a happy medium to be had.
  9. And a fair few match goers who are there out of habit who feel equally pissed off about how FMA is running the club. There must be thousands who have seriously considered not going who can’t quite give it up. Perhaps the LC uber fans should stayaway, they’re clearly not happy and hate everybody else in the ground. Your clear contempt for anyone from the LC makes your holier than thou posts quite ironic. Like fuck does it. It’s this ‘we are proper fans and everyone is a boring cunt’ stuff I have contempt for. It’s ignorant, disrespectful and delusional. There should be room for both types of fan, as there always has been. You're revelling in the fact radgies have nowhere to go now.

  11. Aye, the atmosphere in the bogs were slightly better yesterday I thought. I saw someone who looked like you, but I thought nah can't be, not ginger enough and not 7ft9. Saw about 500 fat cunts that could've been yee Saw hufty too. Sits near us. Had to bite my tongue, was gonna tell her to lick me blit
  12. “The club requests that supporters do not persistently stand during matches and sit when requested to do so by stewards and other supporters. Any supporters who persistently stand will be identified and sanctions will be taken against them.”
  13. It's only gonna get worse. Who got a letter? http://aggbot.com/link.php?id=14658276&r=tw&c=48
  14. I thought that article was quite informed....until he used average newspaper rating as evidence of good form.
  15. Wide of even being wide of the mark in tomorrows chronicle no doubt.
  16. All from a regime you support for fuck sake! Make ya mind up Andrew. Changing opinion to suit your current argument has drawbacks. CT doesn't worry about it though, prefers to be optimistic it'll become coherent if he hopes for it really really hard with eyes closed tight. He'll be saying what dm astute decision the sacking of Pardew was come the new year.
  17. For those wondering who this guy is... Think it was only you wondering who that guy is. I don't even have sky sports and I know the toothy fucker.
  18. I'm not calling anyone "Davide" It's David. And "Santon" sounds like an exciting development in sanitary towel/tampon combination technology.
  19. I was gonna say its difficult to be negative about our position, but the thread proved its not really. Look where the 3 teams we've played are. Bottom place Spurs are clearly a better team than us. It's a funny old game. My new chant yesterday was the Elvis classic, Don't be Cruel, don't sell Tim Krul.
  20. If that means we're spared a spectacularly dull autobiography, he might just be my new favourite player ever. When I moved into this flat, that book was the only thing left by the previous tennant.
  21. That should really help you a lot, Nile Nile is no name for an OG. I want to see frasier remade with Ranger playing his brother. "Nile, would you like to join me at the met?" "What you chatting abaht you mug, i will shoot up da gaff proppa innit. Come here Daphne, I'm gonna pipe you so 'ard. BRAP!"
