McGregor has been howlin this season.
They could sign Joe Lewis and it's an improvement.

A football hitting my cock was pretty sore. The ball hit the post and soon as I turned it hit me. Was such a hard shot and as I didn't expect it was pretty dam sore.
Remember at the time was close to vomiting. So sore :-(.
Something very similar happened to me.
Playing six a sides, I was in goal and a guy from the other team absolutely rattles a shot in and it flies past me. I turn round to retrieve the ball from the net just in time to see the ball skelp off the bar, come back and hit me right on the nose. It knocked me on my back and I thought my nose was broken (it wasn't).
I got up and everyone else was in hysterics. I didn't see the funny side though, went into a rage and just grabbed a random guy from the other team and started battering him!

I've had much worse things happen to me (fell off mountains a couple of times and got some bad injuries playing rugby) but the two most painful things were...
1) Accidentally firing a heavy duty staple into my finger tip.
2) Steaming drunk and coming home from the pub I managed to fall over a wall with a big drop of the other side. I thought I'd broke my ankle, the pain was agonising. I had to literally crawl to my then girlfriends mum's house, get her up at about 3am in the morning and get her to drive me to hospital. When they told me at the hospital my ankle was only twisted and not broken I didn't believe them. The pain was horrendous.

I doubt United raised that much money. For some weird reason it was a Ltd edition run of 400.
£60 though!

No mention of the new Dundee and Dundee Utd kits that they sneaked out to sook up Christmas money?
For my own warped, twisted reasons I draw kits and this is every kit or kit variation worn by the Scottish Premiership teams so far this season.

Any truth in the rumour that St Johnstone are bringing in Adele to sort things out?

Yeah I've heard that too. Seems very late for the first dystopian novel to be written but maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps earlier books were categorised slightly differently.'The Sleeper Awakes' by H. G. Well definitely falls into the dystopian category and that was written in the 19th century but again that's a book I really didn't like very much. In fact I'd say it was uniquely bad as I've enjoyed every other H. G. Wells novel I've read to a lesser or greater extent.
A book I did like was 'The Hopkins Manuscript' by R. C. Sherriff. Some do but I wouldn't exactly call it a dystopian novel myself, it's about a world set in the 1920/30s that's been destroyed by a meteor. I'd say it was more sci-fi but it has some elements of dystopian cross over.

I thought it was decent. Maybe a little short and didn't fulfil its potential but worth a read. Been meaning to read it again since I read a bit about Huxley supporting eugenics. Having said that it was fairly common to believe in eugenics at the time so perhaps it's not much of a surprise.
Can anyone recommended any other dystopian novels?
Already read 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. Got Slaughterhouse Five & Station 11 on my "to read list" but was looking for some other suggestions.I just read 'Kallocain' by Karin Boye and didn't like it much.
I suppose that's more an 'avoid' than a recommendation.
I've not actually read it but isn't 'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin the 'original' dystopian novel? It seems to be rated quite highly but like I said I've not read it myself.

It really doesn’t seem that long ago that fans across the country (including our own) were, for weeks on end, pretty fairly asking the question of whether Regan Charles-Cook had ever actually seen a football before. A fine finish yesterday, oozing confidence and composure. His rise to stardom has almost been as remarkable as St Johnstone’s fall from grace.
I'm glad you posted that because every time I watch Ross County highlights I think to myself 'wasn't he absolutely shite last season?'
Have to assume he sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads.

How old is the main stand at Tannadice?
For me that is a top two worst in the country for leg room.
The other one would be Ayr Utd.

Hi.
Far as I know the first match at Rugby Park on the synthetic pitch was 14th Aug 2014, a 2-0 loss to Aberdeen.
So I looked at league matches played at Rugby Park between 14th Aug 2014 and 11th Dec 2021 excluding Steve Clarke's tenure and the results are thus...
Played 105
Won 31
Drawn 25
Lost 49
Win percentage 29.5%

All for a new rule where if you lose a goal within 5 minutes of scoring, the game is stopped and the players who lost the lead are publicly flogged.

First half we were okay without being great, but second half we looked like a doomed side, lost all belief.
Game completely died after 55 minutes when we got our second.
Ref might as well blown for full time then.

Interesting how Callum says Kane is his main striker. What's his stats Random? Particularly shots versus minutes, then shots on target versus minutes?
What's folks rough idea for a main strikers stats to be? 4 on target per game seems reasonable to me, below that I'd say they weren't very good.
4 shots on target from a striker would be pretty amazing in this league.
Here's the average shots on target for TEAMS
St Mirren - 4.3
Ross County - 4.1
Dundee - 4
Motherwell - 3.6
Livingston - 2.8
St Johnstone - 2.3

It’s so easy for people who haven’t had to watch the absolute dross we’ve served up.
Its a total inditement of the shower of shite football on show.
Sounds like the problem is Hibs play in the Scottish Premiership.
0 -
One of those surprising but not surprising ones.
Hibs do have the look of their predecessor that went from Top 6 to relegated in half a season but I thought he'd get till at least the cup final.
Got to assume something has happened behind the scenes to lose the players cos it's been a pretty precipitous drop.

I just happened to be looking at world populations and noticed this.
3rd highest population in the world is United States with 330,790,201
the 2nd highest population in the world is India with 1,399,645,363
So the difference between 2nd and 3rd is over 1 billion people which is kind of mind blowing.

This Rangers team are COWARDS. Not cowards. No. Fucking Caps Lock mashed down by a big prody finger COWARDS.
Just in case you haven't fully understood yet they are COWARDS.
COWARDS.
That's like cowards but in big letters. COWARDS.

Gordon losing the plot in the 2nd half was the best temper tantrum at Fir Park since Dougie Arnott ripped the shit out Basile Boli.

Darkness At Noon by Arthur Koestler. (4 out of 5)
In a time when extremist ideology, cancel culture and the suppression of free speech are increasingly subjects of the day this novel seems apposite.
Rubashov is one of the original fathers of the Revolution and has spent 30 years of his life serving the Party. However one evening he is arrested on mystery charges and sent to solitary confinement in a grim prison block. There he is interrogated by his old friend Ivanov and Gletkin, a younger and more brutal product of the regime, who compete to produce Rubashov's confession.
An excellent reminder of how ideology not only destroys individuals and freedom but also inevitably eats it's own originators and followers.

Fascinating fact. St Mirren have worn their away kit more often than their home kit this season.
Also someone needs to tell those Paisley boys that panda's are cuddly not ferocious.

Celtic v Rangers Wed 2nd February
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted
Yet Celtic struggle to break down teams more than Rangers.
Rangers have only failed to score once in the last 55 league matches.
Celtic have failed to score 4 times this league campaign.
