Reasonable as ever.
I believe that would be the Premier League. The one you got kicked out of.Quote:
"I can't see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches.
"In what league do you win a division and then end up playing the same teams again the following season?"
Aren't the tears of whiny, entitled Old Firm fans delicious?! :)
Some match between Hibs and Falkirk in the Scottish Cup semi final. Falkirk were up 3-0 after a half hour and the Hibs 'supporters' starting leaving Hampden in their droves. Happily the idiots have missed an amazing comeback, 3-3 now and going into extra time. They also had a penalty saved at 1-3. I'm sure Fenlon will get a lot of plaudits for his half time team talk and change of system (going with two up front) if they can finish the job! He'll probably still get slated if they don't though.
It has to be pointed out also that the new Falkirk manager, Gary Holt, is the bulb off a futuristic James McClean!

Edit: What a goal by Leigh Griffiths to win it for Hibs 4-3. You really do have to laugh as those fans who left at 0-3. First time Hibs have reached two Scottish Cup finals in a row since the 1920's.
In the Andalusian derby last night, R Betis came from 3 goals down at half time to equalise against Seville. More that a few of the spectators left at half time.
That result is hardly enough for Fenlon to keep his job, is it? If you finish outside the top 6 in the SPL, it's bad news. Maybe he'll survive if Hibs win the cup?
He won't keep it unless he wins the final in which case they'll build a gold statue of him outside Easter Road!Quote:

It means that many Old Firm fans are whiny and entitled, and throw the toys out of the pram whenever things don't go their way. And that I find it quite funny and satisfying when they do.Quote:

Except you could say that about any big club, not just Celtic and The Zombies. At least 5-10 spring to mind and even one or two in Ireland.
Whilst every other European country whose national team are in FIFA's top 50 must have at least 2 or 3 each.
So that means I'm not allowed dislike the whining that comes out of Rangers and Celtic? It's just as satisfying when it comes from entitled fans of Manchester United, England, or the Australian cricket team.Quote:

Two cup semi finals with a 4-3 result, the game in Scotland isn't goal shy or lacking excitement.
Our forgotten bhoy Stokes, came on as a sub and impressed with heading the winner from 6m out.
That Dundee Utd team had a few talented schoolboys playing for them.
Some of those United kids were really talented alright.
I'd never hear the Tony Stokes song before.
Jackie McNamara hasn't aged one bit.
Neither has Willo Flood - He's looked about 40 now for the last 20 years.Quote:

Cough ... both teams are managed by an Irishman :)Quote:

Gordon Strachan when asked about it at a press conference, said 'it was f*****g ridiculous'.
Kris Commons has retired from international football at the age of 29. Difficult to understand how he has only 12 caps for them given their lack of quality over the last few years.
Difficult alright and very strange how he's packing it in at 29.Quote:

Most 29 year old footballers have young families I would think.
The retirement isn't that big a surprise, the fact that he found it difficult to play consistently for them is. I know he's had a lot of injuries alright, hamstrings, etc.
