I didn't expect to feel as gloomy as I did after the game as they've never been a team I've shown much interest in. But it was a footballing fairy tale and would have been ace for Scottish football. It swept me up. However, seeing the meltdowns on here from the Rangers loving BWFC brigade has put a smile back on my face. Thanks chaps. Bit of Karma for turning up to Hibs pre season & giving it all your sectarian shite. Celtic are a proper club, with a rich history and a passionate fanbase. They know how to get over the line. As with Rangers, they have plenty of muppets in their fanbase. Hearts had it in their hands today, no corruption involved, just poor game management. You're one up with a few minutes left to half time. Just get to half time and don't do anything daft. It was clear and obvious according to the current rules, ref gave it and VAR backed it up. The penalty on Wednesday was a disgrace. Everything that's wrong with VAR, not a conspiracy. You see daft shit like that given in the PL on VAR as well. Get fucking rid of the thing please. And let's organise fan boycotts to raise the issue. Not watched a PL game in a while - totally immersed in this title race. FA cup final sounded dreary as fuck. Love live the 'pub league' and fuck VAR night all. see you at Wembley x They are a 10 year project for Tony Bloom apparently so will be worth a flutter next season. Quote

I heard, back when we lost to Sunderland, that it's the queen who decides and Bolton will never get it after we chopped off that blokes head in the civil war, because he was on the royals side Quote

Traditionally you had to have a cathedral to become a city and Salford has one. Preston was awarded city status as part of the Queens Jubilee in 2002 Quote

Until the huge population growth in the 1800's Salford had always been the physically bigger of the two. Quote
Zico Posted Saturday at 23:44 Posted Saturday at 23:44 Strange thing about the Salford thing is one minute you're in Manchester city centre, cross the road, and you're in a different city Can't be too many places in the world where you can do that Got no idea where Salford city centre is though Quote

A bigger barrier than the Irwell though, it has to be said. Quote

Marc505 Posted Sunday at 11:49 Posted Sunday at 11:49 Dunno if anyone's watching this United v Forest game, but the PL has given Fernandes (rat) an assist for that goal! Fixed as fuck. Meanwhile, these new style thick adidas stripes on kits look terrible. Quote

Until the huge population growth in the 1800's Salford had always been the physically bigger of the two. The Catholic Cathedral, built in 1850 has been the centre of Salford Diocese since before that build and is huge at over 600 square miles. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford covers a large portion of North-West England. It includes the cities of Salford and Manchester, most of Greater Manchester north of the River Mersey, parts of Lancashire (including Blackburn, Burnley, and Accrington), and Todmorden in West Yorkshire. The diocese encompasses the following specific local authority districts: Greater Manchester: City of Manchester, City of Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, and parts of Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan. Lancashire: Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Ribble Valley, Rossendale, and South Ribble (including Bamber Bridge). West Yorkshire: The town of Todmorden. Quote
