Sports teams always underpay for roles like that relative to other industries. They know people will be willing to do it because of where they'll be working.

Four sentences in before the person writing reverted back to just calling it Tannadice. Well done lads.

Someone on this thread wondered something similar recently (or wondered how long the WW2 obsession will last) and I've pondered it myself since I think the rapid expansion of the global population, variety and ease of access to various kinds of media makes WW2 linger more in the collective consciousness than any other one would have. In the past with wars you would have had oral histories with stories and experienced passed down first-hand through people who actually experienced it. Maybe some literature, some limited national press and... that would be it. Since WW2 happened - and even compensating for it being the largest scale conflict ever - there have been a lot more people to experience the aftermath and pass down the personal knowledge of it, plus the endless possibilities of increasingly realistic and accurate media depictions of it in films, TV, video games, whatever. Effectively the impact and legacy of the war was and remains more widespread than any other conflict, there have been more people involved in it still around, and there's been a much greater scope for media coverage of it and media depictions of it after the fact. That's before getting into the apparent collective national inferiority complex of The British that saw 'their' greatest triumph followed shortly by the breakup of their Empire and a continued dwindling of their global influence/relevance. On the other hand, the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1 is the last I remember hearing about it on the news, so there may yet be hope for an end of poppy shagging. I'm sure the resident qualified historians can tell us whether what I've said makes any sense.

Lads I've watched Frasier repeatedly on Channel 4 for about ten years, if you thought The X-Files was annoying you've no idea. Dr. Cox from Scrubs is in Frasier:

Now if you want to admire someone topping up their bank account, this is how you do it:

He has the GDP of a country behind him.

You can still get paper receipts there and in Fopp. You say "no thank you" and they print one.

I've just realised what I'm reminded of when a politician repeats an objection to something while another one is talking

Ah, I see why he's suddenly being linked with a move away.

It's a Corbyn supporting sex worker I'm afraid

Two P&B favourites together at last

If I had this complexion I would absolutely not be moving to one of the hottest places on earth for a job which is predominately outdoors, no.

I'm starting to think we might not win the Euros.

Listening to the radio I don't think you'd actually realise they were talking about an actual match if you didn't know.

Sportsound had clips from Scotland fans being asked about the team and joined Flower of Scotland halfway through.

"Five year contract"

And if he married Zsa Zsa?

Uhhuh.

For a journalist of forty years Mike Edwards' Wikipedia page is very badly written.

Week 22 update Pretty sure there's nothing this week. Happy June.

Quality Saturday night, this.

They certainly had a go in the first half. Maybe they retreated in the second in the hope of containing and nicking something but I don't think they just rolled over.

Ah well.
