    lost 4 years of my life to playing roulette in casinos daily . In the Grosvener casinos there are on average 4 wheels on the go at any time , and at least every couple of hours one of the wheels will be on a run of 12-20 of the same colour. Any hard gamblers will back me up on this .

    15 out of 17 coin flips...you could probably give that a go every day until you die and you would fail.

    Another bunch of wee huns, I will enjoy stuffing them almost as much as Hearts on Sunday. As for being drawn away again lets face it, these games are more fun that way. Atmosphere at home would have been the usual morgue.

    :50:good on ya mate .
    I know this isn't on topic but i always take any opportunity to say to any young people that to begin gambling will be the biggest mistake of your life . Robs you of everything in the long run ; relatonships , money , your time , your morals , your dignity . Every day is a battle . Winning 21 grand boxing day 2008 was the worst thing that ever happened to me as it started 4 years of complete and utter stress. I was in debt by the summer of 09 and have lost 4 grand in 4 spins once . Stay away people.

    Back on topic , the club have missed out on some serious gate money being drawn away 13 times out of the last 15 !

    It can't be rigged because we like away days. Great logic

    it looks dodgy. but if the smaller clubs are benefitting from large gates and tv money then i can live with it.

    To be honest I prefer a premiership team away, how many times have we * ourselfs at home to a low league side and away. Better atmosphere as well tbh.

    Is it not in the SFA's constitution that Celtic must play all cup ties away from home while the famous Glasgow Rangers with their wonderful 142 year history proudly intact get to play all their cup ties at home?

    If not it's about time it was. The SFA must be wasting a fortune on electricity heating up those balls every time there's a draw to be made(allegedly).

    i heard they use a golf ball for us whilst the huns have a ping pong ball.....

    joking aside, prefer the away trips, better atmos & we seem to be playing better away from home this season as well

    it looks dodgy as *

    look further back mate

    it could be the freemasons giving the rangers all the help they can get with mostly home ties whilst trying to make things as tricky as they can for us and it does look that way when you see the amount of away games

    as for the entertainment its probably a better game and atmosphere playing these sides away and they also get the gate to help them

    how many cups have we won and them won in the period ?

    I get how it looks dodgy, and I obviously wouldn't be surprised, but I watched that draw the other day, is Owen Coyle in on it as well then?
