Pull My Strings

Certainly there is a distinction between statutory parking fines and private parking fees in terms of enforcement but some of these private fees are enforceable and, indeed, are enforced through the courts.

I think the only prohibition currently is multiple teams with the same ownership competing in the same European competition, but even that doesn't seem to be enforced. Benham used to also own FC Midtjylland until fairly recently.

Good enough in the end. Ayr are pish and we were miles from our best but still should have won by a few goals.

Indeed.

Those clips just show that Adams is an angry little bell-end. Natch. Hardly relevant to Ludo's little story.

* Pus. Did this happen? Unlikely that Adams, a renowned angry little man, would be cowed by an old fanny like Jocky Scott.

Unique that the awful behaviour of an individual in a position of power is conveniently brushed under the carpet? Bless.

I threatened the same when United were sniffing about him. Not sure I would have stuck with it so long. I salute your indefatigability.

Laterz Malky, you fat, racist bell-end.

Fucking hell Rovers, bravo. Also, ffs.

Love the way everyone stands up in anticipation of the shot and then it erupts. Lovely stuff.

I think Tilson's fine as cover in midfield when both Sibbald and Docherty are out. He'll cover the ground and make tackles but he's not going to build play and he looks to be a level below the rest of the team in terms of building play. I think our best football this season has come when Glass has played deeper and been able to play to pick the ball up deep and play passes. We had the same issue last week against ICT when we weren't able to take control of the midfield until Tilson was removed and replaced with a better ball player.

He caught Gallacher a beauty with a swinging elbow. Possibly not intentional but certainly dangerous. I'm not going to argue either way but when you see the replay it's not a surprising decision.

Odd take on Freeman.. I've a lot of time for Freeman but his confidence is clearly shot. He wasn't a weak link defensively today, as he has been quite a lot in the last 18 months, but you'd need to squint pretty hard not to notice how many times he took the safe option, when a more confident player would have gone forward with the ball. Contrast Freeman's performance with that of Scott McMann. To me, Freeman is probably the more technically gifted player but their contributions are miles apart this season. McMann is a guy at the top of his game; Freeman is nowhere near the player he could be, or might have been.

I was impressed with ICT. They were organised and moved the ball well. We had a couple of players a little bit off it but we've played worse and won comfortably this season. Freeman looks like he has PTSD from last season, not sure if he'll ever recover; Tilson is fine as a stop-gap destroyer but I think we could have been more ambitious and put Glass in there from the start (also my feeling before the match); Watt and Moult seemed to be playing a front two, rather than Watt behind Moult which led to Moult dropping deep when really it should have been Watt. No real complaints though. Sometimes you're not at your best and the opposition play well. ICT certainly the best team to come to Tannadice this season and I would expect them to be pushing hard for 3rd/4th come the end of the season.

Yeah, apportioned as £750k for Pressley and £250k for Robertson. Marginally less appalling to think that we paid £1m for Pressley and got Ribertson thrown in for free but that would mean we paid £1m for Pressley and then let the c**t walk for free three years later. He was a good player, tbf, just an awful human.

An utterly pointless signing for us. Think we spent £250k on him from Coventry. Ooft, you'd expect an actual football player for that sort of money these days.

Well, you could buy on your phone whilst you're queuing at the turnstile but there's no cash gates. Dunno whether you can buy away tickets at the club shop. Probably not. You're online, buy it online.

40 seems very young to be considered middle aged. I've got another decade, I reckon, before I turn middle aged. That's predicated on living to 120 though, tbf.

Is he out of contract next summer? They paid a fee to sign him in January this year when they already had an established first choice keeper. He must surely have been considered one for the future but then why give him only an 18 month contract, and then loan him out for 12 months of that? I ken the English clubs can be profligate but that's a very odd way to do business.

Yeah, fair enough. Moult has been absolutely brilliant and his fitness has held up better than probably any of us could have hoped for .. BUT he's played more games this season than in the previous 4 (5?) years combined so it's only prudent to give him a wee rest every now and then. On the bench, so if we need him (as at Starks Park) he can come on but otherwise he gets a chance to rest and recover. Glass has been excellent and is unlucky to have lost his place after his own wee injury. Watt's probably in better form now than he's ever been for us so is an able deputy right up front. Airdrie are obviously a decent team, albeit a bit one dimensional. Might be a long night if we don't get an early goal but we don't need to be chasing these sorts of games away from home. Be patient, hold your shape and they'll eventually give the ball back. I'd fancy us to be better at breaking them down than they are breaking us down. No need to win the possession stats again, just the goal stats.

Once a Dee, always a Dee.

Think he means Asghar. The clown behind the clown(s).
