That's good, we've got a real chance now

Extremely worthwhile exercise, saw some fine fitba' at times, low key affair at others but good to get another opportunity to the see that young team (Motherwell that is) and for them to get some more game time in before next Saturday. Beating Man Utd to win a trophy? Defo worth it.

Same as Pompeys away only in Claret with Amber pinstripes.

Did Hughes no' read that article then? He's looking to better himself when he leaves us FFS.

And it obviously has as Aberdeen fans sitting in the next stand have confirmed our fans did not use the sectarian version. This hack and McGhee are over in the Main Stand, how can they say with more certainty what was sung when they are so far away? Basically they hear what they want to hear to suit their purpose and fuel the fires. If anyone really did sing the f****n version it would be clearly stated on here, guaranteed. we're not like OF fans who try to cover things up, might try to justify some questionable actions but many of our own fans are quicker to stick the boot in than our enemies. Paedos still OTT though

I'd agree with that, we now have a squad to speak of. Time will tell of course on the quality of that squad but reckon, on the evidence thus far, we are in a better position than this time last year. Ups and downs will follow of course but I'm impressed by what Gannon has brought to the club, both in terms of personnel and the general good feeling about the place. Long may that continue.

To be fair to him I thought it looked like he was tripped accidentally by the defender. Whether that warrants a 'nalty is another story, personally I say no but I've seen them given and defender punished which is just wrong.

Not his failure I'd say. Wisnae very good ah'll grant ye but................. Whooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair that's probably the only version of that song he knows

Did Nevin advise him it would be a good idea to kick our fans out of their seats to maximise revenue/accomodate OF fans? Perfectly capable of fucking up on his own accord but agreed, lately he's been making correct decisions mostly. Long may that continue

Well if the sceptics don't turn up and miss out on a good day they'll only have themselves to blame. You either fancy it or you don't, my kids are looking forward to it cos Man Utd aren't normally going to be anywhere near Fir Park, good enough reason to go in my book, we don't need petty reasoning against it cos it won't change opinions will it?

You've just pissed 15 of them off then cos there's only 27 left viewing I have to use my complimentary first Cup game season ticket on fuckin' ICT, refund!

You've just lost the argument, time to close this thread when folk start talking this much pish I'd say

Hmmm, 83 to 161, seems a minority to me but remember this board is hardly representative of our fan base as a whole. All that does is say that 2/3 of the membership of this board who can be arsed to vote think it was OTT. Transfer that to the overall fan base and I think you'd find an overwhelming OTT vote considering many of those involved in the chanting probably voted here. Don't kid ourselves it's a very small minority who deem this acceptable.

Mebbes only the wan 40 Grand

Time yet, just let us get the League Cup draw oot the road first. Priorities n' a that.

Way it's worded it seems it was off but resurrected. Same £40K looks like

How can we concentrate on that when the transfer deadline is looming?

True statement but don't compare our moral standards with tabloid journalists, like to think as a support we're way above that comparison. Ach scheisse typo grammar fascists

Express report today suggests Hammell has knocked back Dundee & Accies preferring to stay and fight for his place. That's more like the noises I want to hear. Also Klimpl to Dundee seems to be back on. Hmmmmmm

But generalisation included me cos I reckon it was OTT. As I said in my original offering Everyone knows what I used to get up to and therefore what kind of standards I set are definitely up for scrutiny but I'd think more of someone who jumped on the track and chapped Magoo on the brew to be honest. All boils down to shite banter in the end this is the lowest form and I include the similar chants at Shellic games. Remember glass houses and throwing stones and all that.

Self righteous? Moi? Fuckin' Hell, last week I was a bigot, today I'm a self righteous pontificator. Really couldnae make this up.

To be honest I don't think we have

Never mind the actual words used, generally the banter is pish of late. Cringeworthy songs like the paedo one and Marky Reynolds one for example but am too auld tae get involved so cannae really say much but the youngsters need tae learn fae older fans what is and isn't acceptable. That hasn't been the case whereas years ago we learned from the older guys. These days they have to make it up as they go along. A bit of common decency used tae run true throughout our support, sure we've had wir bangers but we also had some self respect which meant we avoided crossing the line in certain areas. In my view this one crosses the line, not for the vile disgusting reasons the media make out but for our own reasons of acceptable behaviour. Some might think that's a bit rich coming from me cos pretty much anything goes in my book normally but it all comes round to your own standards, if you think chants like this are acceptable in the current climate then a section of our fan base is going off on a different tangent, no two ways about it. We can be crude with a bit of humour to make it acceptable, I don't hear that much to be honest. It's just crude for the sake of it mostly. Puts Ice Rink up there with Stock, Aitken & Waterman some of it.

In this context it's completely different to urge or advise. As for me being level headed, well that's just your opinion, I offer no defence
