Pie Of The Month

https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/professor-devi-sridhar-with-jason-leitch-preventable-how-a-pandemic-changed-the-world-how-to-stop-the-next-one Devi Sridhar in conversation with Jason Leitch in Glasgow for any thread regulars who fancy it. I really need to sort out what I'm subscribed to since that was emailed to me as an event I might be interested in.

Latest statement from TJF. Board stepping down but I'm not really sure what difference it'll make. The newly elected directors will still need to stand up for what the members want and I can't see a situation where the members accept Low's demands of no due diligence. https://thejagsfoundation.co.uk/tjf-update-13th-april/

Record this morning reporting the SFA are against the Ukraine game being both the playoff semi and NL home game and also would prefer the 1st June over 31st May with Robertson potentially in a CL final and some of the Championship players potentially in the playoff final just a few days before. Apparently we should get confirmation of what's happening this week.

From that statement "Directors of 3BC" = Jacqui Low "Directs of Partick Thistle" = Jacqui Low and a group of her pals she appointed How thick does she think our support are?

I take this back with Smith going off.

Even with a much improved bench of recent weeks we'll get progressively worse with each substitution made. I'd take 0-0 right now tbh.

Our title hopes.

No Athletic subscription so not got any exact quotes but the headline doesn't sound great.

Yes.

This Tory councillor who voted for the Edinburgh ban has the look of one of the homophobe American politicians who get caught being pumped by their teenage male intern.

It's the usual "date X subject to Y" without any indication as to what Y actually is. The 18th is the same day LFTs are no longer free to the general population in Scotland though so I'd struggle to see any justification she can come up with for keeping masks past then but then again most would've thought that ages ago.

It probably is right due to the fact the draw is done from pot 1 down to pot 4 so by the time the UEFA team is drawn from pot 4 there'll be at least 4 and possibly 5 groups with 2 European teams already in them where the UEFA team can't be drawn. The groups the UEFA team can't be drawn into is less likely to be the 1 with Qatar in it so increases the chances of ending up in that group. I'm sure someone with a statistics background could work out exact odds but you always see when these types of draws are made there's a higher chance of certain teams ending up in certain groups. If you keep repeating that draw generator you'll probably find the UEFA team ends up with Brazil or Argentina more times than any pot 1 European team too.

from the Jags Foundation. No AGM, no transfer of shares on time and confirmation they were denied the opportunity to carry out a due diligence process. I'm really not sure if TJF can survive this.

We voted to increase the number of subs just a few months ago and then end up with that.

Turkey put in their bid after all so even if Russia aren't considered there'll still be a vote.

I think one of the SSC emails recently was saying you can get tickets from the Hearts ticket office on the day. The 3 2nd place teams with most points (after the games v bottom placed sides for the bigger groups are removed) qualify for the u21 tournament and the remaining 6 go into playoffs. Going to be a big ask to catch Denmark who have their 4 remaining games all at home.

Didn't realise they had Euro qualifiers in other continents.

The Times yesterday reporting that no other bids came in prior to the deadline and also that none of the host nations will qualify automatically. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-and-ireland-set-to-host-euro-2028-in-absence-of-rival-bid-gdjcvf72b

33k sold including 4500 to Polish fans according to Ian Maxwell. https://news.stv.tv/sport/sfa-chief-ian-maxwell-encouraged-by-ticket-sales-for-poland-friendly

They've opened up more in the East today with plenty of seats together available. Guessing with the North and south lower sold out and the Poles taking up half the west stand it's only the East with any decent amount of seats left unless they decide to open up the South upper

Would suggest Dykes is still coming along unless he pulled out before this and I missed it.

Points for home games are based on purchase, not actually going. I wonder if they'll change it going forward after they installed the electronic scanners for the Euros. That's Polish fans now sold out sections A1-A6 and most of A7.

Apparently Halkett will be getting called up along with Stewart.
