  1. Are you for real, they've been treated with the lightest of kid gloves in this case.
  2. No, that means the majority of money thought Wlad would win from that point.
  3. As far as I know the bookies don't mark the cards.
  4. plus -2 for that round across 3 cards.
  5. AJ is a young man and Wlad was rattled much later into the fight, how was Wlad doing fine on points?
  6. Do we need brain injuries and the like to satisfy people, Wlad was beaten by the time of the stoppage, Joshua had wrested back control well before the uppercut.
  7. While I agree with some of your post, Joshua hardly landed any of his final flurry of punches on the target.
  8. I've heard it all now, the guy that stops his opponent and comfortably wins more rounds isn't the better fighter on the night. Hibs were lucky today as well.
  9. p4p all time great my arse.
  10. I'm not one for blowing my own trumpet.
  11. Depends whether you're planning to f**k her or marry her.
  12. I think she mentioned Killie and playoffs.
  13. Ruth dominates everything Tory in Scotland.
  14. That's the good old fair-minded MSM and PCS for you.
  15. You appear to be the one that's unwilling to countenance short term pain for long term gain. As are all the issues you've been pointing out. I've heard all these arguments in 1998 when employers paying a quid or less an hour were shouting from the rooftops about how a NMW of £3.60 an hour would cause 1000's upon 1000's of jobs to be lost, they were wrong then and they're wrong now. That's business. You're having a laugh. Who cares, that's life, evolve or die. Again, who cares, perhaps we should have stopped all these innovations that apparently haven't happened and just kept VHS video recorders and wind up mobiles so folk could just stay in the same low level job for life. I'm not asking anyone to vote for me or my views and I was voting Tory(Reynard and myself against the rest on here) until I converted to YES, I certainly can't remember the Conservatives campaigning on an idealistic lefty "moral high ground" grabbing bullshit manifesto in my adult lifetime.
  16. Assumptions are all we have, it's not about whether Gregg's think they could get away with, if all companies in that sector had to increase prices for the same reason we're discussing the downside wouldn't be too drastic unless you're suggesting we're all going to stop eating shite for lunch. As for vulnerability, how many small independent competitors are suffering from vulnerability due to some of the advantages of scale and tax laws etc that companies like Gregg's enjoy? Small companies have less wiggle room when it comes inadvertent things happening.
  17. You don't half talk some pish, I'm very much pro business, unfortunately an awful lot of economists,CEO's,MD's,MP's etc only take notice of the parts of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations that suit their ends and totally ignore the sections that would involve increasing costs, in no way did Adam Smith promote imbalance such as we see in the UK today. In your Gregg's example a 5% price increase would undoubtedly result in a drop in demand, how big, nobody knows, the extra income delivered to staff members would see staff members spending increase thus helping to protect the jobs of others and the economy while saving the taxpayer a wee bit on benefits. Giving 20,000 staff an average wage increase of £1,000,a 5% price increase and a 2.25% dip in turnover would more or less leave Gregg's standing still with a happy more loyal workforce.
  18. And you'll be fine if Greg Tansey goes down lightly in the last minute of your match on May 20th to relegate your team. You really can't ever come on and moan about opponents diving at anytime with a mindset like yours.
  19. The things you're bringing up are just bad judgement etc, why the f**k should any government' policy's be framed to take account of someone' poor business sense.
  20. Agreed, I'm embarrassed when I watch an Ayr player doing all that nonsense.
  21. That's nonsense, the media were frothing at the mouth during their blanket coverage the last time a new team was heading for the big league,
  22. I've watched defenders doing a 2 inch push(usually old heads) in the box with no penalty given, IMHO you shouldn't need pushed into the dirt to gain a spot kick, any foul that stops the attacker getting the ball or shooting/heading for goal is and should be a penalty, most ex pros talk absolute crap on this issue. The laws of the game or refs interpretation doesn't always help, how many defenders received red cards when the attackers heel clipped their legs as they crossed in front of the defender, it's a foul/penalty but surely a red should only ever have been dished out for deliberate fouls regardless of where on the pitch it happens.
  23. A flippant way of expressing why taking some cash from those at the top and giving it to those at the bottom helps the local economy.
