Haven't been on here for a while.
Does anybody know if His Holiness will have anything to tell them on Saturday in his annual address?

As it's Christmas though instead of UPPER CASE i shall relent, they are scum.

Ah, I just remembered that fucking banner - SCUM!

His holiness will lead his followers in a hymn dedicated to the cunts called qui in irrumabo sunt homo United!
 
Are we still awaiting the outcome of the illegal ground entry and fixture cancellation or has that one been put to bed nicely by the authorities !?

Agreed. But you should put Manchester instead of homo. You know it makes sense.

Thick bastards have thought for years that the
Latin name for Manchester is Mancunium and not Mancunia. Mind you it's not as if they are locals. Not sure why they think that Republic is spelt with a K though.
Like scousers they love their silly slogans on their banners.

Not wishing (a) to divert the thread from the usual invective against the Red Filth and (b) to be a pedantic s*d (yes, I know Mat et al, I am one!) but if I might suggest to anyone contemplating a banner (!!) that they take into account:

‘Irrumabo’ probably isn’t the correct Latin to use here. It means ‘I will face-f**k you’ (and quite aggressively/violently, whether or not the recipient wants it). Learning Latin at school, we came upon a book of naughty Roman poetry which gave us all sorts of insights into swear words and Roman attitudes to sex. It included such gems as ‘Carmen 16‘ by Catullus, dedicated to his friends Furius and Aurelius, which starts with ‘Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo’ (ie ‘I will sodomize and face-f**k you’) and it’s regarded as one of the most obscene lines of poetry from any age.

Probably better to use ‘futuo’ (meaning ‘to connect with a woman’) as in (I think) ‘Quis in futuo Mancunium Unitum est?’. Given that the majority of the crowd over at The Swamp are graduates from The Halls of Academe, Oxbridge/Rhodes/Erasmus scholars all, they’d soon spot any potential errors in vocabulary, case or tense used and turn the joke back on us, a satisfaction we clearly wouldn’t want to afford them, would we?!

Btw, as one Blue has mentioned regarding learning Latin ‘not being a waste of time’, I’d reply ‘Indeed!’ - I think it was Robert Heinlein who said ‘Each generation thinks it invented sex. They’re wrong.’ and that’s true from reading the various naughty poems/writing collections from different generations.. one of Catullus’s fellow Romans, Martial (no, not that one at The Swamp!) has, amongst his canon, the memorable fragment ‘Mmm! What am I doing? slurs Lyris, feigning shock./ I’ll tell you you’re doing what you always do/ Even when you’re sober,/ Sucking c**k!’. A case of ’Plus ca change, c’est le meme chose’ as we used to say growing up in Hulme..

Again, apologies for being a pedant. Happy Christmas Blues, wherever you are..
