  1. Perhaps the fans should do something about the negligence and 'entrusting' officials, instead of giving it crocodile tears when some consequences occur years down the line.
  2. What does the job role involve on a daily basis, and in what bizarre alternative universe should individual schools even be tasked with developing their own inclusivity policies?
  3. It wasn't a generalisation. It was in fact very specific about the circumstances and requests made to the referee, which were fairly dinghied because their entire day does not in fact revolve around your braying club blazers' convenience. Unless you are suggesting that the two clubs simply fabricated some claims to support this 'generalisation' purpose, in which case we can still file your weeks of mewling in the bin.
  4. How much did your bankrupt live event company generate for the cash-strapped local authority? Part-time football does not equate danger to the existence of a football club. Until Inverness from board room level down accept the fundamental concept of actually paying out only what their own income generates and sucking up whatever level they end up playing at as a result, any outside sympathy should be reduced to zero.
  5. None of those three are centre forwards.
  6. Perhaps you could start by actually reading posts for comprehension before embarking on this laughable white knighting effort: Yep, definitely attempting to merely paint a fuller, more balanced picture of events by: • completely misrepresenting the end of independent statehood proces as its inception and • claiming that they lost international recognition because of the enlightened anti-racist policy of, err, massive, racist slave empires like the United States in the 19th century.
  7. No, I think I'll continue to discredit your thick as mince, racially loaded nonsense hot takes.
  8. I can see why the armed forces proved a natural home for you.
  9. Well no they very much are mutually exclusive, because the Haitian state was not in fact set up to be a racially exclusive system from the start as claimed. The 1805 constitution was a reaction to multiple attempts to re-enslave the liberated population by mixed race and white colonialists, most recently by Napoleon and the atrocious Leclerc expedition.
  10. If you're a completely ignorant moron who thinks that 1805 marks either the 'inception' or the 'outset' of the Haitian revolution, sure.
  11. Make your mind up please as to whether you're pretending to clutch your pearls about the integrity of the pyramid, or excluding clubs based on geographic bias.
  12. His performance against Inverness was certainly half-arsed; I think he did as best as could be expected in a thankless lone forward task tonight.
  13. Muirhead was okay tonight and in no way 'sold the jerseys'. He made the wrong decision 70 yards from goal - so did several other players afterwards. His decision-making was likely affected by the fact that he was blowing out of his arse, which is a result of the hee-haw attacking options we had to replace him too. It's ridiculous scapegoating to call that 'lazy' after 85-odd minutes that was anything but. You can fairly criticise the impact of his forward play - against a superior Hearts defence of course - but criticising the effort put in by anyone on the park tonight is bollocks.
  14. We did about as well as could be expected without key attacking players. Our organisation as a team was excellent, but Hearts created the better of the limited chances in the game. Strapp playing as an auxiliary forward contesting high balls in the second half was a good tweak and brought us our best spell of the match - he also did everything right with the chance but wasn't enough to beat Gordon. For the goal, Muirhead needs to put a ball down the channel to play the percentages. If it results in a throw-in either way or even a goal kick, we're heading to ET either way. You can't play the ball into the centre of the park casually and expect to get away with it - though a cynical booking from others could have shut it down too. So much for the hammer-thrower narrative: our play is actually too naive in critical moments. For us to exit both cups by a single goal margin at Ibrox and a SC QF to Hearts is an excellent showing. The team should take huge confidence from that if we can make the playoffs, as we're very much the opposite of some flaky midtable team that gets rolled over by higher quality opponents.
  15. Our organisation as a team unit has been typically excellent. That's the real stamp of quality Imrie has imposed since the very first game. Whether we'll avoid the individual errors that come with large amounts of pressure on average players, we'll see. Time is our friend as long as it stays level.
  16. Not looking like a game for the neutrals with that line-up, but given the key attacking absences we've got it's *probably* our best chance of getting a result. Obviously an early Hearts goal will make it a long night.
  17. Except that none of the first three claims tally with anything in your own club's statement. Make your mind up about what exactly you're still throwing your toys out of the pram about.
  18. Meanwhile, on the topic of abject Democratic strategy and the dotard in chief:
  19. The answer to that question is 'very likely not' because support for Biden is sloughing off among the young (not least due to Gaza) as well as African and Latino American voters. Just because Trump's a wannabe fascist doesn't mean that they're compelled to traipse to the ballot box to vote for an incumbent dotard instead. That's the hostage to fortune that has been created by the abject to date 'strategy' of the Democratic Party.
  20. Looks like the world's shittest Nate Silver impersonator is back on the horse again. The Nikki Haley problem indeed.
  21. How many actual millions of pounds has 'Tom Davies' fraudulently extracted by now as an English Premiership 'footballer'? Even blood diamond merchants from the Congo must be looking on enviously at this outrageous hustle.
  22. Any sign of all those roaster St Mirren fans who slithered along to one sunny evening game in August and confidently predicted that JB's ambishun would be paid back double at such a sleeping giant club?
  23. Nice try, but your loveably crafted dialogue betrays the reality that an area of the pitch was indeed waterlogged - hence the need to 'treat' it as confirmed by the joint club statement. And if both clubs were so confident that the 'soggy' area of the pitch was playable, then requesting a fully 90 minute delay to anyone with better things to do with the remainder of their weekend than placating a bunch of braying club blazers was an utterly moronic strategy. The more generous interpretation is that both clubs knew fine well that the pitch was not in fact playable at 3pm, hence 1) the need for treatment 2) the extensive delay requested and 3) the otherwise non-sequitur reference to the weather forecast (which if the pitch was already playable, would be irrelevant). Very straightforward stuff tbh.
  24. I think that the AV referendum is an excellent comparison point for this. The outcome has very little to do with the principle and a lot to do with the vague and ham-fisted attempt of incumbent politicians to push through something that isn't (rightly or not) a priority with the public.
  25. Based on what evidence and compared to what benchmark exactly?
