Sadiq Khan wants a special deal for London if NI gets one!

Arlene Fraser on the TV right now saying it's not on and that NI will leave on the same terms as the rest of the UK and laying into the RoI government!

I saw an item on BBC's Breakfast Program last week about a new business park somewhere in NI that was attracting attention from companies who reckoned that they could benefit from being within the Single Market on one hand while still remaining in the UK, so some people were making a smart guess!

So your ex-Chairmen are implying Tulloch would like to develop the land and leave you to move the stands to the nearest convenient location - scary.

If Bairstow had to withdraw I reckon England would call up Jos Buttler.

Yeah Jezza may be a Saint but it's clear some of his supporters are well versed in the Dark Arts.

Sorry my post wasn't meant as a dig - just saying that the money the BoD eventually got was based on the money they put in. To the best of my knowledge none of the outgoing BoD are rich and I wouldn't have wanted to see them leave with nothing but they did have the kudos of being custodians of the club for 20 years and they were lucky enough to get their initial money back. They dodged the old trap of how to make a small fortune from a football club...........

Well it worked for our BoD - they got £1M, about £8 a share which was pretty much what they put in according to 10000hours frontman Richard Atkinson. It may end up being more if SMiSA buy GLS's shares which AFAIK is part of the agreement.

Well she was ambivalent about independence at times - remember the stooshie after NS outed her about supporting IndyRef2 during the pre-election TV debate. Let's spin it as part of a London led initiative to get rid of her and install a Corbyn friendly leader up here - works for me,

Not much bothered about KD - she misjudged the mood of the party over Corbyn and made a non-aggression pact with the Tories in the last GE, she's off the greasy poll and looking to find a post-politics career, good luck to her. There are other factors here like whether she was going to get a senior post in the new ScotLab setup, if not and she wasn't happy to return to the rank & file then maybe she's best looking towards her future. I'm sure she won't be the only semi-detached politician at Holyrood. More relevant is how mediocre a politician her successor Richard Leonard must be if he can only beat Anus Sarwar 57-43? ************* Interesting that KD's partner and SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have supported her online at #TeamKez! Time for a defection?

Yup - from the OS....... Nice to see the concern shown by one of our aromatic friends from down the road, though!

Word is Harry Davis is fit and in contention for a place on Saturday!

Erratic. Mind you when the shit was hitting the fan in his first and last seasons he had the balls & the nous to change formation/tactics and drop players like Grainger & Harkins till he hit a successful formation - on both occasions shitfesting our way to safety something I wish his successors had been able to do. Took us to our highest league finish in a generation and we played some nice football at times especially in the first "quarter" of his second season (2011/12) but for the bulk of the time his sides were about as exciting as Gus MacPherson's. Mind you he's a legend for the 2013 League Cup campaign with the 3-2 s/f win over Celtic being another highspot in terms of performance. After 4 seasons opinion was sharply divided about whether he should get a new contract but just about all Saints fans agree the way he was "let go" was shabby. ********* Wish him & Clyde all the best unless we meet in the Scottish Cup!

When has that ever worried a politician?

Sod's Law - when you get relegated the less committed fairweather fans are the ones to go and you're left with an increasing proportion of "utter ragers" until you eventually get to Barnstonwoth United levels The Morton thread on this forum is a prime example of this...................

The return of the nasty party............... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/oct/12/labour-accuses-tories-of-reviving-dementia-tax-after-ministers-property-remarks Not looking forward to Thatcher's Children running the country.

You could throw in Heath and that makes all of them in the last 50 years!

Yeah what's been posted on here is quite mild compared to the GM.org site!

I live in Ayr and for the first time ever was not doorstepped by Labour during the campaign and there was no Labour representative at the local polling station on the day. I don't know enough to say Labour put up a joke candidate but there is little doubt in my mind that she was a "sleeper".

Erm, didn't we win those games?

Hope not. I'd be sad to see him go but I doubt we could hold him back if Killie chose him for the job, however it'll cost them.

Ruth Davidson in saying something sensible shocker! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-41454566 Pity she can't follow through the logic of this statement in the rest of her speech..............

Reports just coming in that the man wot won it for Trump died just over a week ago. Fake news? Gotta be ripe for conspiracy theorists............................ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41422827

Less than a year since Jack Ross was appointed by St. Mirren and he's already up to 20th on the list - sign o' the times.
