  1. Depends what you want from it, really. There is no profit/loss included in there for example. Although I'm sure I recall the expected loss was about £250k, with the cup tie at Ibrox pretty much preventing a disaster. Just over £105k was spent on termination payments (this was provisioned in the previous accounts) We recieved a £144k R&D tax credit. No idea what for! The football club is still technically insolvent, probably will be for.the foreseeable. John Sim is no longer the Ultimate Controlling Party (in fact, there isn't one now). On a happier note, the amount of cash in the bank increased from the previous set of accounts.
  2. Yes, but they are basically goading Labour to try and get them to commit to reversing it when they win power. In the meantime, try and stymie the backbenchers.
  3. No point continuing to get wound up we've missed an opportunity - Dundee Utd have done the same today. That could've been much worse.
  4. A reminder that Dylan Corr's only senior experience before signing for us was with "Celtic B". I'm not saying we shouldn't give him game time, but there is a reason that he hasn't filled in despite our issues in defence. Is it really as simple as saying that wouldn't have happened if Kwith Watson didn't go off injured? The defence looked a lot more solid with him back in the picture, but there we are chucking away a two goal lead without him. If he's going to be out for any length of time again, I sincerely hope we wan somehow afford another defender from the slim pickings available. For me, Dabrowski has to take a lot of the blame for that, for chucking away an entirely avoidable goal for the equaliser. There is no excuse for it.
  5. I am sorry, but that's twice now we have shat the bed from 2-0 up against the worst team in the league. We've exceeded expectations this season, but that is an absolute disgrace. I'm livid with the lot of them.
  6. If you keep shitting the bed against the worst team in the league, then frankly you don't deserve to win the title. Disgraceful stuff.
  7. Absolute fucking idiot. Another bedshitting job against the worst team in the league.
  8. And Simon Danczuk, who had to resign after he was caught messaging a teenage girl. Obviously he has now washed up at Reform. This particular constituency really does have a liking for complete reprobates.
  9. A good night, albeit not really due to ourselves. Not really much that can be said about that - a poor game of football and I can't remember either goalkeeper being troubled. The positive is that we got a rare clean sheet and the defence actually looked like a proper defence, which isn't something that has always been true this season. It just seemed that a bit of confidence and, above all, attacking prowess, was lacking. Too many punts and in particular to Vaughan in the second half; what is he going to do with them, exactly? If we were going to go down that route I'd have left Hamilton on and at least given us two big forwards to aim at.
  10. He does, but a challenge like that from Smith is not going to help our case. Need to keep the head.
  11. Yellow is right, but the very kind of challenge that a ref handing cards out might just decide is a red. Silly.
  12. Some of those players are on seven year contracts.
  13. I agree that Hamilton is much better in the air, although dropping Rudden to the bench would be exceptionally harsh given he's scored in our last two matches and assisted Vaughan for the second yesterday. I viewed his loan as very much the back up or replacement for Hamilton, but I think he starts if fit.
  14. FA desperately hoping for a Liverpool winner to save yet another apology letter being sent out due to VAR.
  15. Nice to know that you can annihilate your own player without consequences.
  16. That's 30p Lee's future career after Parliament lined up then. He's been "cancelled", so off to milk the MAGA grift it is.
  17. I really hate James Lowe and his gurning puss.
  18. I don't think that's right. There's always (rightly) some suspicion when a politician's views change, but in the real world this is actually very natural - viewpoints can and do change. Liz Truss failed spectacularly on the biggest stage and she became a global laughing stock. I do think that at least most of the stuff she is coming out with are genuinely-held views as she seeks to paint herself as a victim and avoid the realisation that her downfall was entirely of her own doing. She obviously hoped that Kwarteng would have to carry the blame for it all, but she was the PM and not him; she can't abdicate responsibility when she was in charge and his actions were in accordance with her approval. The stuff about trans activists bringing her down is right out of the alt-right playbook and I don't think that's something that she does actually believe. Perhaps I've gotten that wrong, but it does scream of playing to a certain audience. I do however think her economic policies that were universally derided are genuine views that she possesses, and that she is authentic in her continuing support for them. She is convinced that she was right and that other forces, which she paints as sinister, destroyed her. Her failure has radicalised her.
