I remember paying decent money for a house show Raw about 10-15 year ago. Kane was champion at the time and he fought Drew McIntyre for the title. Drew lost and cut a promo saying he'd win it for Scotland one day so it'd be nice to see him achieve his dream. Anyways, the point of this post was that I'd paid decent money to be ringside but because it's all level, I couldn't see a fucking thing as I was about 6 or 7 rows back. Decided to just go into the 'cheap seats' as there were plenty free, and got a cracking fucking view that could have only been bettered by being in the front row. As I was optimising my seat choice, I noticed that WWE had placed several restricted view seats directly behind a pillar with zero leg room. I should have taken a picture as it was embarrassingly positioned and touching the pillar. To sum up, it's no surprise to see WWE rip the absolute pish.

Trying to compare Tony Khan positively to Vince McMahon's on screen character (Note: not the scumbag in real life) is absolutely mental. I personally think this is absolutely fucking atrocious and just becoming a bigger minter week on week but you know what, fair play, before it I'd stopped watching and now I'm interested in seeing where they take it and whether I like it or not, that's all you can really ask of a wrestling promotion is to reel you in.

The Airdrie fan ranting about United fans mugging themselves off could have had me involved in a wee pile-y on if he didn't turn into fucking Sky Sports and say 'Dundee fans'. Roaster.

^^ Arrested in Airdrie IMO.

Nah, they kind of passed it off as the United fans wanting to celebrate in front of the cameras and Billy Dodds passed it off as saying they were thick because the cameras weren't even in. There was a good 30-40 seconds of silence where you knew something was going on though.

United fans making a c**t of themselves at the Excelsior? Seems to be a regular thing that.

United will throw money at it and have enough about them to keep their heads above water provided they punt Goodwin by October IMO.

Is Sam McClelland likely to stay with the DABs or heading back to St Johnstone? Why is he not getting a game ahead of any of your calamitous CHs? @RandomGuy.

The BBC Friday All Time Classics reputation are being fucking tarnished with this game.

I questioned Walton's Premiership credentials in the United thread. Typical he's having a fucking worldie now.

If there's one man that can stop United going into full on party mode, it's Jim Goodwin.

That was some save from Walton.

Genuinely can't believe what an absolute fucking shambles and 'just as bad as the rest' politically in just a few short years. So demoralising.

It's all about having certain amount of coaches etc. We employ someone who's covers a multitude of jobs whereas to get a higher grading you need a specific person for each role. That's obviously not the only thing but one of the factors. I've went into detail about it before but basically Strachan disagrees with the philosophy of it all and we've went down our own completely different path. That's the youth I'm talking about. I'd imagine it'd be the same coach wise for the first team.

Speaking of training facilities... Courier is reporting that we've been given the go ahead to build our own training facilities and complex at Riverside.

There was a tour of our training facilities for season ticket holders at the start of the season and it was said that loan deals from England are largely based on the facilities. Apparently, the top English clubs grade potential loan clubs facilities and judge who they allow to a club based on that which is why we were able to secure Beck and about to secure another player for next season. It could well be an exaggeration by the people doing the tour but our training facilities are on par with some of the better English clubs that would be a potential loan destination ie, middling Championship/top end League 1 clubs hence how we beat a few English teams for Beck, got Jon McCracken in ahead of an English side and was the reason (alongside our partnership) that Burnley recalled Costelloe and Mellon from St Johnstone & Morecambe respectively and sent them to us. Docherty continually points to the fact that clubs will also look at the success that most of our loans have had and take that into contention too.

Sounds more realistic tbf. I was just thinking Chambers because he's went to a middling League 1 side for half a season as opposed to a Championship gig, younger than Beck and we now have a good relationship with Liverpool and are being credited with developing Beck to a higher level and finally and most importantly, the fact that I didn't know any other youth LB's currently on their books.

I always wonder how people quote WWE making say a £1million off a 12,000 seater (no maths went into those figures, just plucked at random) and now I understand why. In the US, during the PPV era, they were charging about $80 per PPV so no surprise to think we'll accept those sort of in the flesh ticket prices. Imagine Mania came to the UK.

State of that.

What position does Callum Paterson play these days and where's he at? I'd honestly prefer him as a call-up for the back-up RB spot instead of Ralston.

We are apparently in for a Liverpool LB that is not Owen Beck but with an apparent equally high potential for next season. Unlikely, but possibility that could be Luke Chambers. What was he like for you lads?

Can't see anyone out with the OF having the funds to prize him away tbh. I believe one of Hearts or Aberdeen offered him a PCA last season before he signed a new deal with us so they can look all they like.

Alas not. They've been given the same allocation they always get, unfortunately. We just sometimes sell a portion of them ourselves to ensure Celtic fans aren't trying to purchase tickets in the Dundee end. We've did this a few times when Celtic are in more, shall we say, 'jubliant' moods.

Vaughan and Hamilton are good lower end top flight strikers IMO (and Vaughan could have been so much more if not for injuries). Rudden is a middling Championship striker. Hopefully you keep him.

Courier saying we're to offer Bakayoko a permanent deal.
