More likely to Be an English problem when the Tory/UKIP coalition happens!

Do you find Hearts annual Remembrance of McCrae's Battalion depressing?

I've never given it much thought, though I did actually think putting a line about it in the 2013 version of the Hearts song FOH put out was out of place.

I'm am about as anti religion as Richard Dawkins these days; the Glasgow divide depresses me at heart because, in my 'umble opinion it is a divide over a God that probably does not exist and even if there is a supreme being it certainly does not conform to religions that were created by man.

Then take a bit of time to think about it and come back to me with an answer.

Well done to the entire defence on helping getting Forster the record.

A good result today, just a pity who scored the first.

I take it you don't like Griffiths? Guy might be a bit off a prat off field but he scored a great goal today. Stokes looks better with him in the side.

I don't want people who make racist remarks anywhere near Celtic.

Like you said he scored a great goal today but I never cheered it.

It is kind of ironic as jill1812 said similar things about Goodwillie when he faced court charges and I couldn't understand the stance she was taking.

Jill had Goodwillie tried, convicted and executed before he'd confirmed his name in a courtroom.

And we need to remember that Goodwillie was never found guilty in court just as Griffiths was never, as far as I am aware, found guilty of a criminal offence over his comments.

I'm just drawing a comparison.

Thumb is quite good entertainment value, but I'd suspect he'll crumble under pressure. If I was a betting man I'd bet that in the first Newco v Celtic match, he'll be the first red card. God knows how he avoided being booked for that goal celebration.

Congrats to Fraser Forster

Not sure when they add the minutes up whether it includes injury time or is it just 90 minutes ?

Thank you

My brother was of the opinion that the reason Edwin Van der Saar was ahead of him was down to Fergie-Time

Unless there is a cold hard conviction i think its really difficult to find a moral position to hold when it comes to footballers. Personally i get myself all tied up in knots with stuff like this!

I agree with you there which kind of argues against my own point!

I've never believed in the footballers as role models pish. They are just as human as the rest of us.

It is just a shame some humans are arseholes.

Exactly. The problem is does someone only become an arsehole when you read about it?

Ryan Giggs was the perfect role model for about 15 years and held up as an example to all whilst all the while he was playing in the shallow end with his sister in law. Who knew? Who cares? Does it matter?

Player x can make a racist comment and on the face of it i agree with you, wouldn't want him near my club, but the reality is player y who is a hero could be a klu klux klan member in his spare time and we know nothing about it. The reality is we don't know any of these people other than what they do on the pitch.

Once again I completely agree with you.

We have no real idea what goes on behind closed doors.

So Martin O'Neill stands in the way of Gordon Strachan - I think it'll be between Ireland and Scotland for 2nd and 3rd place - which is enough for the playoffs.

Pie and Bovril thinks its a great draw

My problem is we have players coming through but they wont get a game.

It will be the long term many campaign failures like Brown, Hutton, Morrison etc who will still make up the team
