WTF?!

Did I really just watch 12 seconds of that?!

I personally see no need for exams, why not just judge it on course work? English & French were my top two subjects from day one at school, I was in the ‘Credit’ classes in both from third year and was getting high marks to show why I was there.

On the day of my exams, I didn’t do so well and those are now my credentials. Not the previous…[Read more]

You can have mine then.

Well in America we tend to have this perception that art causes bad behavior, especially in impressionable young people; as if teenagers didn’t care about sex before Elvis came along, or that the teen gang phenomenon can be traced DIRECTLY back to Tom and Jerry beating on each other in cartoons. The plain and simple truth is…

Not a care in the world?! Aye, in an ideal world :roll: Age 20 all I wanted was to be off the dole and back working.

How could I forget about Mortal Kombat? I used to throw sickies to get the day off school so I could spend all day trying to figure out which button combination performed which fatality with which character :lol:

I think now it’s highlighted more because of the content of the games, the beating people up/killing people angle has reached an entirely new level than it once was.

As you pointed out though, these sort of games have been around for years – certainly my childhood and teenage years were the years when consoles started to get big and…[Read more]

I reckon we’ll see the same tactics next season, but he should have a bit of money to spend in the summer. If he can keep McGregor and Cuellar then he doesn’t need to worry much about the defense, but I reckon he’ll bring in some flair players.

I’m sure he’d love to have a bit of balance, but he doesn’t have the resources at his disposal.

First 5 words are probably accurate.

Maybe Im wearing my Green Tinted Glasses but I remember Celtic’s Final as a pulsating, ding dong feast on a warm night, a great advert for attacking Football, even though we lost.

How about this Final? Is Smiff going to abandon this dire Footy and put on a show for the watching millions?…

As much as there may be demand, I’m not buying into name calling.

You must’ve actually fallen asleep cos they did have a few chances to win the game in normal time late on. I take it that does meet your standards of ‘sometimes’ or does it not count cos you never saw them?

Nobody rattled my cage, where’d you get that idea? Wait a minute – :lol: (look, a wee laughing face to show you that I’m not furious as you so want to believe)

Rangers did attack ‘sometimes’ Next you’ll be telling me how you define the word ‘sometimes’ and telling me how it doesn’t apply to Rangers.

Didn’t exactly play attractive, attacking football for 90 minutes though. And I don’t recall stating that Scotland were trying for a 0-0. I was pointing out that Scotland, like Rangers, did what they had to do and rode their luck at times.

Interesting to see the Fiorentina manager slamming Rangers for their tactics, as Messi did. It must have…[Read more]

People already generally have a poor opinion of scottish football, if one of their teams reaching a European final by grafting & grinding out results by doing what they have to do makes the reputation even worse then I’d be surprised. And some just won’t be swayed regardless.

When we beat France, who were the better team? Who gave a shiny shyte?…[Read more]

Every team sets out with a different strategy. That’s like saying anyone who watches Man United when they’re playing their very best football assumes that every team in England play that way. And we all know that’s not the case. Anyway, how many teams in Scotland are an advert for attractive football?

A neutral who knows nothing about football…[Read more]

Should be a good one – meeting up with Ricksen and Advocaat again. I thought Fiorentina were unlucky, they had some good chances but Alexander didn’t actually have that much to do. Was stunned when Vieri missed from the spot, bet Ferguson’s a relieved man :lol:

Though the ref made some bad calls in the game. How come, if Mutu went down looking…[Read more]

I haven’t!!! Don’t know how the hell the Gers got that one but right now I couldn’t care less. Say what you want about boring football, negative tactics – doesn’t matter a jot now cos it’s been effective and that’s all that matters.

:D :D

Wishing that I hadn’t agreed to work Friday & Saturday night – I was asked but realistically I couldn’t very well say no, wouldn’t look good at my next appraisal. Yesterday was my only day off (which I had without much sleep because of a sore throat) and now I’m on for six dayshifts and I’m shattered after day one because I was coughing most of…[Read more]

So not only are you expecting her to lose her job, her career for disobeying orders, you also expect that she should risk her life. Its not in the job description im afraid.
