What a disgusting Headline.

"Friendly Fire" is a yank euphemism for killing your own and your allies through your incompetence.

No doubt Hootsmon advertising enterprises will change the headline.

In the meantime, I've saved the HTML.

'friendly fire' along with a picture of Scott Brown apparently being injured.

#1 What did people like you do before the Internet? Did you get your print paper and, on seeing a headline you dislike, fire off (sorry is that an inappropriate war term?) a strongly-worded letter?

To your "point" though. The English language is amazing in that words have different meanings. It's all about context. If Scott Brown had wiped out his own defence with some poorly-aimed artillery fire, then your "point" would have some merit. As he didn't, it doesn't.

#1 i was thinking you were being ironic or post modern..if you were being serious please try the news pages x

#3 Very good Walter, like that one - I claim insomnia myself.

Friendly Fire was the name they used for a rum and blackcurrant in the pub in Queens Street Station

#6- not waxy oconnors your refering to?

#8 Why is it that you tims cant stay away from all your junk this is about the game that Scotland played if you cant talk about stay to hell away or get on a tim site and you can cry together. You are a sick bunch

#8 - think you will find there are just as many unpleasant celtic as rangers supporters on these pages. it shows you up for what you are though, by the way in which you lump us all together.

10 - get with the program dude. these forums never stay on-topic. if i had a pound for every "go comment on a rangers thread" or "go comment on a celtic thread" then i wouldn't be here passing the time instead of working

#8 - Does that mean its ok to sing songs about the IRA then?
You will need to enlighten me on that one.

It all points to Wattie running scared.....

The Scotland (Ex-Rangers) physio decided to send Robson home without consulting with the manager?

As Gordon stated.....who plays and for how long is down to George Burley.....which Wattie feared....thus we have the Rangers manager running scared and declaring his players injured for fear of them getting played!

The fact Rangers want to lie is up to them....what really needs to be answered is the actions of the physio?

The fact Gordon was emphatic on stating Robson was 100% FIT.....hints at a questionable decision by the Scotland physio!

By throwing in the Robson saga it dilutes the focus...on Rangers looking desperate and dishonest!

c v c #9

"Their actions, sectarian and bigotted songs etc... after the good behaviour of Celtic ...."

oh yeh ? If you're in a glass house, don't pick up stones.

"CELTIC face a UEFA probe after European football's governing body confirmed it was looking at footage showing Hoops fans apparently involved in sectarian chanting during their Champions League clashw with Barcelona.
Several videos show fans singing anti-Queen and pro-Ira songs have been brought to UEFA's attention, which has now opened an investigation into the incidents".

Apologies, the first quote is from #8. The second complete with spelling and grammar is from the Daylate Rebel. More detailed articles can also be found in other tabloids. Big Blue Chip will need some additional "sweepers" over the next day or so.

As IF would say...


About time
Isn't it.

#8 what *a r e* you talking about???

Your team is in the dock - no other.

I vote for the ultimate penalty.

Fly the Flag! Fly the Flag!

My word..the Bhoys are quiet. LOL

The only condition is that it must be in the immediate surrounding area of the stadium. There was alleged sectarian singing inside the stadium.

"It will depend on the easiness of having these songs understood and the quest of finding other evidence."

Sorry to disapoint you ladies, but regardless of the fact that Celtic fans are guilty as sin, like OJ Simpson, they will be aquited. Fan Zone is about 2 miles form the Camp Nou.

Bwhahahakakakakahahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!

Nice try though, but try harder next time!

#20 BIG Gers Man

What is astonishing is the media all running with this. Me thinks Big Blue Chip has upset his chums.

Even STV have it FFS!

I can feel and Idee moment coming on......I'm just to busy at the moment to compile and file it..



Good analogy with OJ.... he did finally get his comeuppance IIRC. LOL

Deary deary me.

What a sad little society Scotland is turning into.

Hissy fits all round just because a few simpletons sing some daft songs.

Poeple falling over themselves to take offence.

Like the Utube clips of Rangers fans in Spain, the songs only make the singers look daft & nobody else.

Who cares what songs get sung, its all much a do about nothing.

Remember kids..sticks & stones etc.

21 & 22, I agree wholeheartedly. Youtube is great for somethings, but this trend for drunken idiots putting film of themeselves acting up is the flipside to it.

I started going to see Celtic in the 80's and the content of a lot of the songs during that time was schocking to say the least and it wasn't particularly isolated. In fact, it was only isolated to the Jungle and the Celtic end. I went to away games against Hearts, Airdrie, Motherwell and Falkirk to name a few and found that the OF didnt have a monopoly on digusting offensive behaiour. Possibly, because of this, not much that is sung these days by football fans bothers me in slightest. Too much little girls behaviour from fans at present, grassing each other off and spreading stories about how the other team are disgusting, ugly and hateful and yes, Rangers fans say things about Celtic too;-)....its getting boring now!

#14 - bit of a contradiction here. surely the great conspiracy would have seen robson get picked. by giving him the week off, its to celtics advantage? but wait, it was all a sneaky ploy to make rangers look better. paranoia overload!

it seems to be whatever takes place, it will always be to rangers advantage, and will always be with the compliance of the anti-celtic establishment.

#23

I remember going to Brockville and hearing the disgusting chants coming from the Falkirk fans.

Then I realised they were targetted at their own players!

Falkirk? Its another world!

Falkirk fans dish it out badly to anyone, their team, theo other team. I remember the Norrie Mcathie - british gas t-shirts!...cant really say I was shocked, but his family must have been upset about it.

24 - Dont know whats going on there, but not sure either what gain there is in fabricating a story like this for Celtic. So I assume there is a genuine gripe about how he was treated.

Is this just another SFA balls-up or am i too thick to work it out?

#27

Robson claimed he was fit. The Physio (ex Rfc) decided otherwise and sent him home. BR wanted to stay. He wanted to play for his country. WGS has stated that BR has been training hard and has no injuries. You decide.

You really are a narrow minded windbag.

What possible benefit could Rangers conceivably have achieved by Barry Robson not playing for Scotland if they had somehow magically manipulated the situation? Even a simpleton like you should be able to see that Robson resting for a week is a benefit to Celtic.

The only people who think Rangers are looking "desperate and dishonest" are the deluded Celtic fans desperate to whip up a non story in a blatant attempt to divert attention from the state of their team and what is coming.

Rangers were honest and up front with the Scotland call off. The players reported as required and were released due to injury. You only have to look at Ferguson and McCulloch to see they are not 100% fit, Dailly has a broken toe and McGregor's knees are bound to be sore after the amount of sh*ggin he has done according to the press.

Your smoke screen unlike you is not dense. We see through it.

I cant be arsed to make these long posts, got better things to do the beach club beckons. To cut it short, come one the celts, stand up for the champs. lets put the malingering we ara da people players a nice lesson tommorrow.

Remarkable how the Ibrox Four are all fit and well for tomorrow. Can a player play with a broken toe? I doubt it. Some Doctor. Does he use juju? BTW Barry Robson has been training hard since Sunday as he was always 100% fit. He is gutted at being used as a pawn in Football Politics though.
