Today a lassie described a bit of equipment in her ward as looking like it was from 1982, because it looked “mega old” I was born in 1982, still see myself as relatively young, but according to that young whippersnapper, anything from that time is ancient and should be chucked on the scrap heap. The way that kids see anyone over 30. As below.
Are these kids from Glasgow...?

Edinburgh City 1-0 Montrose in league 1. Original game was abandoned due to high winds and Montrose were probably hoping for high winds to return to get this abandoned as well as they played poorly tonight and never really troubled City who played well and deserved their win. City Ultras were not allowed into ground tonight due to noise complaints so instead moved to the waste ground closer to the houses who complained.
Noise complaints at the Stadium.. what a joke of a place. Did they put the Zumba class off?
Think I'll bring my kazoo down at the next game..

Almost every redesigned club logo being circular. Now, I know fine well that Brechin City's logo is indeed circular too, but I prefer the old classics. Perhaps it's the 'copycat-ness' of it all that's my actually PTTGOYN.
It's to f*ck up that p***k the Lord Lyon (see the saga of Airdrie's badge).
If it's round its like a clan badge so you can get away with it. Anything that's a shield shape has to be matriculated (registered) as a coat of arms. Queen's Park's shied was matriculated in the early 20s as a 50th anniversary gift. Hibs current badge has also been matriculated and you can see the certificate in the main entrance at Easter Road.
The English equivalent of the Lord Lyon doesn't seem so picky.
Badge of the old Airdriedonians. A shield shape so you'd have to give the Lord Lyon a big fee to get it matriculated. When the new Airdrie wanted to revive it they were told to stump up.
Some Tippex was purchased and the badge amended to...

I don't think reserve sides do any harm at all and given the long history of reserves in the EoS, I don't think there is any level of opposition from member clubs as long as it's done correctly and with respect (which was lacking with the shoehorning of the B sides into the LL, but ultimately the LL member clubs voted for it).
Livingston B will play games at the main stadium, so bring with them proper facilities, same with the Gala application, and they'll start at the bottom. I don't see any reason not to allow them to join as long as they tick all boxes.
Except that Gala's pitch is better than Almondvale's...

No. I'm ready for the match and am going to stand behind our goal when Mo are attacking. All requests for tunes are welcomed...

It’s a good point. No idea why. They often don’t add much at all to the show.
They should either get better guests -preferably ones who actually like football and want to talk about it - or stop getting guests on so often.
I used to like it when they had fans of wee clubs on. Perhaps the Beeb are scared a Dumbarton fan might say something controversial live on air. There are erudite and intelligent fans of smaller clubs on here for example who could go on although Slippery talking about Forfar might be best avoided...

Apparently this mid 1970s song was produced to intentionally mimic the style of music a decade earlier, despite the fact that music a decade earlier was substantially better. This song is a turd in a list of turds - not necessarily because of the lyrics or meaning - just the melody and arrangement:
I went to a match at Central Park, Cowdenbeath, in the late 1980s and that was played on the tannoy for some reason

Was presenting Wishaw with the Conference A trophy and medals tonight so withstood the biblical rain to see the champions turn on the style.

PFI/PPP isn't privatisation.
It is a form of contract where a private consortium will design, build and manage a building (school or hospital). The government pays no big capital costs up front but rather pays a fixed cost over, say, 25 years.
Labour coming into power in the 90s saw that they needed a huge building programme, as the tories had run everything down. The capital cost to build everything that was needed was high, so they went down the PFI route. Hey presto, loads of shiny new buildings.
The problems with PFI contracts arrived about 10 years later. They had signed so many, that by the late 2000s the taxpayer was paying huge sums to these contracts. Other issues came up also: there are various PFI types (BOO, BOOT, etc) and folk signing a contract in, say, 1999 weren't too fussed about what would happen 25 years later. So when the PFI contracts end, some buildings become government property, but others stay with private companies meaning new negotiations, or buying a now-oldish building.
Also, there isn't much flexibility in them. A PFI school in Newcastle closed in 2010 or thereabouts due to lack of pupils, but the council must keep paying for the upkeep of an empty school. If changes to the building are needed (as will often happen) then this is hugely difficult and expensive.
In the UK we no longer use PFI but these are still very common for infrastructure projects (civil engineering and power plants) across the world.
PFI was thought up by some of the Conservative right wing (possibly John Redwood although I can't remember) in the early 1990s. The Major Government didn't take it up though (possibly Chancellor Fat Ken decided it was not worth the candle)
The idea was revived by Blair and Brown and New Labour but the actual costs of PFI were kept off the balance books- Private Eye and others did reporting on what a bloody rip off PFI was.
It amuses me sometimes to hear politicians go on about "crumbling schools" as it makes me wonder how many of those crumbling schools were jerry built by cowboys under PF a mere 25 years ago at 3 times the cost.

Happy New Year everyone.
Welcome to 2567.
Have great one folks
If it's 2567 have
a) Dundee won the Scottish Cup yet and
b) Celtic released a 600 years of the Lisbon Lions DVD?

Today's the sort of day that wins you titles- Broxburn get a point with 10 men when it could have been a far worse result and the potential nearest challengers unexpectedly lose.
Fancy Dunbar to get three points on Tuesday though...
