Hi Victor, what Mr Colin McB is saying is that he fully supports the idea of having unworthy topics such as Utter Twaddle and Flirting banished to a chat room. These topics are considered by the esteemed Mr Colin McB to be no better than the urine which he passes regularly throughout the day, and should never be allowed on the same forum as those educationally illuminating topics............... "DINNER" or "WHERE ARE YOU GOING FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS" I do hope this gives you a reasonable explanation, and if you require any further translation, then do feel free to ask. Meanwhile you could engage Mr Colin McB in some meaningful rhetoric by asking him how St Mirren fared on Sunday, and how does he rate Mr Nakamura as an exponent of the dead ball, vis a vis a taker of free kicks. Naw, naw Faitha! I don't mind ANY thread at all, in fact I get quite a laugh from some of them, but when a thread of interest goes off-topic, and is subject to one-on-one chatting, its just off-putting. The Angry Haggis thread is just one such example. Out of around 60 posts, about 6 are on-topic. Very frustrating. BTW, Nakamura is an excellent taker of the free kick. Thats why Celtic brought him on late in the match, in the hope of gaining a free-kick for him to almost invariably score from. Until the 88th minute St.Mirren avoided doing so. However, as Saints were cruising to a well deserved draw, he went down quicker than you could say TORA! TORA! TORA! The referee (the 'Celtic minded' Eddie Smith) had a good view and blatantly cheated by not awarding the foul to St.Mirren as Nakamura tackled the Saints player from behind. Fact. I agree with you 100% about the posts, but I disagree 100% about Naka taking a dive. It's honestly not his style, but the problem he does have is that he is far too lightweight for the rough and tumble o' Scottish fitba.

Oh, really! Post on whatever thread you want - provided you stay somewhere closer to the topic than of late
Of all the communications i had regarding the slippery slope down whic the forum was sliding - none was from Colin McB.
Now, then, the echo's not so bad in here today, perhaps those goalposts with their tastefully draped nets are negating the need for cushions.
NB now that we're "chatting", perhaps the use of the quote facility would be useful.

Not really sure "pretty" is an adjective normally associated with sweaty arsed footy players.....although Ronaldo and Torres, maybe! I dunno stripey tutus might just work....think of the Magpies in pink or white tutus...not working for you? Now think of them in Black n White ones......yep, great mental image!!

Now think of them in Black n White ones......yep, great mental image!!The "pretty" relates to the traditonal tutu - black and white ones are very swish - they sell them in "Hellfire" or "Hellraiser" whatever it's called, just opposite Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow - greatly Gothic - good look
