The last three songs on That's Why God Made The Radio are well worth a listen, even if they might not make many top 5s

I was going to be too lazy to read the article until it occurred to me: I bet the lawyer is taking it on for publicity. Yes he is.
He's obviously been cashing in on it but I think it'll be quite easy to paint that as having been a coping strategy, or merely playing the hand he's been unfairly dealt. Not necessarily true but an unscrupulous lawyer could probably convince him of it.

There was enough evidence that he had a hearing and then received a ban. They don't dish out bans 'just in case'. Most fans were mortified to have a player banned for this, but obviously not all. No doubt we'll be shamed again when Todorov next plays against us.

The FIfe Free Press guy'll be too busy on jambos kickback or whatever, probably pop up with the same after he's read the courier

Musonda would have the attributes for playing base of a diamond and Vaughan would be fine at the front, but there's already one problem there and then you still need two guys with legs in between.
Legit to scoff at Barry playing Vaughan so far back when he didn't need to, but if he has to play in midfield in a crisis it's probably ok very occasionally.
We're short whatever way you spin it

Better than Shankland, Moore, Moffat and McDaid??
If we had a competent keeper that year the league would have been sewn up by January
Think he just meant they were wee guys but Barry Branes had us shelling it anyway

We were on a 25-game unbeaten streak. 2,800 Thistle fans there, the great Chic Charnley, but it just wasn’t to be. I blame our respective clubs’ wildly diverging fortunes on this match. Fuckers.

They can be the 'Scottish Idles' when they've got a PR budget that could build a hospital on Mars and you can't escape them... until then, good luck to them

Much like theres nothing on website regards walk up prices for our league games.Pretty sure at this late stage they,re not still thinking of what price to pitch it at
There's a lot of stuff not happening just now: not emailing season ticket holders to offer them a renewal, not inviting player sponsors to renew, no travel info, no prices and no indication of whether/when it's coming; no food and drink even though other clubs are managing. I know it's funny times, folk might be isolating or ill, and we'll have deliberately lean staffing. Or maybe the club's just got too many fans and too much money, and just don't want any more!

I hope Yoss is still a Rovers man, I had a feeling he binned it when Murray got sacked
That was a very welcome post

2-5 at home to the Pars in their purple and green strip, with Ray Allan in goals. Really terrible experience.
Original Rangers winning 9IAR with a 6-0 win at Starks not great.
Actually this isn't a lot of fun to think about so I'm going to leave it there...

There's obviously a difference between a sub goalie biting a pie and a goalie-goalie chucking one in. But can you define a legally robust rule that protects against one without impacting the other?

It can seem reasonable to let players bet on games or competitions they're not involved in, but insider trading can't be allowed to happen if it can be avoided. I can't see any other protection against this than just banning all football betting by players or club/association staff (or sponsors, even).
If you look at horse racing which only exists for the purpose of betting, is bankrolled by bookies, other sports need to take every action to avoid the market 'maturing' into that dynamic.
Side note, we've all read folk like Le Tissier laughing about spot fixing first throw ins and whatever, thinking it's harmless in the context of a 90 mins match. But to a mid table team in a 38 game season, isn't one game just as expendable?

I've never been involved with any club but like anyone into football you know someone who knows someone at the very least. I have heard of some well known names indulging.
But on the principle of the rules: I support it and it doesn't go far enough. I know you've got your preference, your belief, already and I'm unlikely to change it. But rules on this subject are necessary for the integrity of the game. Why? There are loads of reasons.
Post Bosman, players stay with single clubs for far shorter spells, on average. It's not uncommon for a player to have one season at a club, move to another, repeat and repeat. In time he probably stays with one agent upon whom he relies for the next contract getting sorted. Players having more dependence and therefore loyalty to an agent than to their club can create some unhealthy situations. Agent can influence several players in one game; agent may 'represent' both goalies in one game; liquidity on one game can far exceed the wages, prizes, etc for said game; agents can be and are 'professional' gamblers.
Gambling is addictive. Some people get into debts they can't cope with, and owe people you don't want to owe. Players are human.
Yeah the good old days, common sense, etc etc, but you have to protect the sport as well.

We’ve seen modern twist on half and half and the white with 2 navy bands. So surely it’s time we get a modern twist on this kit…
that's my dream tbh
Much prefer that to having red on the strip. Leave 'red white and blue' to others, ken

I'd have got the absolute fear if someone told me we were getting a Butcher's Apron away strip.... fortunately it's not what I'd be fearing

Well, it's a good day to be a guy who doesn't really care what the strip looks like!

I can't see myself being in the market for a full price football shirt anytime soon, until/unless the bairn starts wanting them at some point - ideally the club ends up with the thing that generates the most available revenue/buzz and I don't mind what it looks like as long as it doesn't make us look like, ken, thunderbird ones.

Season tickets weren't as good value as usual last year, that's fair - but at least they were a tangible product for your money. Tens of thousands were given in literal donations though, with a lot less in return than a season ticket (or a home shirt, or a mouse mat, or a lotto ticket, or any of the other things we buy to support the club). I think we often expect a bit too much from clubs in this respect. If you're buying something, you get the thing - huge amounts were donated 'to keep the club going' so if there are 'thank you' gestures getting dished out it would be strange to channel it all into season ticket prices.

That's a stupid type of censorship isn't it. On a par with banning rude words. Bad person characters doing blackface is different from, e.g., David Baddiel ruining Jason Lee's career while in blackface...

Club doing its best for months to put fans off and stop them spending any money, now making sure there's nothing on the park to make up for it
