    Yeah. That's EXACTLY what has happened here.

    We are convinced that the manager is infallible and have been dancing in the streets at the acquisition of Zach Hemming, an unknown Israeli striker and Mikael Mandron. Roll out the bunting!

    Or...and hear me out, we're not really big on pilloring the management and will wait to see how the new signings perform before deciding if they are fucking hopeless or not.

    You do have very selective reading though, I'll say that. The signings of Hemming and Mandron in particular have been met with a lot of reservations but you still seem intent on framing that as our support loving everything that goes on.

    People giving you deserved stick for wrongly describing the approach as 'scattergun' is not blindly believing that the manager is flawless or belief that every signing will be a marked upgrade - it's just folk telling you that on this occasion, you're talking out your arse.

     

    This is what happens when someone downloads an app and now considers themselves an oracle on football ability. They can't handle being called out on it and start thrashing around like a toddler in a tantrum.

  2. Amazing from Springsteen and his band. Almost 3 hours of fantastic music. It'll be a sad day when they stop touring.

    From what I understand quite a lot of false allegations of rape or sexual abuse result from significant mental health problems on the part of the accuser.

    Also, I can’t be the only person who clicked into this thread expecting some Rab Corbett content.

    Have we got a c reg nissan cherry bonnet snudge?

    Shaughnessy's yellow card 😂. Fucking brilliant.

    Gallagher, Strain, Fraser, Gogic, Main, Dunne, Carson, Kiltie were all incredible today. Stood up and were counted. Only failure in the team today was Erhahon sadly. He should donate his wages to his team mates. 

    Apart from forcing Carson into a couple of stunning saves, Killie didn't look like scoring at all. We defended so well and at times looked good on the break. If Grieve scored that chance I dare to think what would have happened in the away end.

    Shaughnessy's foul was tremendous. As was gogic finally giving McKenzie something to clutch his face over. I thought the Killie TV heads were going to explode.

    When you see the reaction from the Killie player I've no doubt they were targeting him.

    And yes, he shouldn't have reacted, but didn't look like it had anything like the force needed for that to be a straight red.

    The guy definitely made the most of it. However you just can't do that. Ethan was very stupid and he's left us up against it. Even more daft than his second yellow fouling an Aberdeen player in the centre circle last year I think it was.

  6. Maybe we should go in line with the rest of the UK. Bring back prescription charges, stop free bus passes for kids, free school meals and allow universities to charge up to 9000 per year? Surely stopping that waste of money would help us not to have to increase tax?

    I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment here but the issue is that the vote in 2014 was lost because, when offered a historic opportunity, Salmond couldn't be arsed to work out the details of what a future independent Scotland would actually look like. Sturgeon is only now starting to put some meat on these particular bones. That should have been done before asking for another mandate IMO and is a second major tactical error on the part of the SNP.

    Salmond thought flags and sentiment would get him over the line. It was a catastrophic miscalculation and who knows when the country will ever get another chance to correct it.

    That's the difficult truth here.

    Any anger really ought to be directed at him.

    I am of the opinion that Sturgeon should dissolve Holyrood if she can get the agreement of the Greens and that both of them and any other pro-Indy party should insist that voting for them is only about independence for that election. The next General Election is too far away. Before she does that though, she needs the vision documents finished and published for what an Independent Scotland would physically look like.

    She promised a referendum next year. She should deliver it via a Holyrood election.

    I'd agree with you that we need the currency issue be properly thought out. However I'd counter that by saying they could maybe get a big red bus with "f**k Westminster, vote yes to save 500 million a week" that also might work?

    It really is some take that instead of making a case for ‘why’ we should stay in the UK that people on here and elsewhere are celebrating that the people of Scotland are not allowed to make constitutional decisions against the wishes of a government elected essentially solely by the English power base. Lets all just take a second to reflect that people actually think this is a good thing. 

    Yeah folk struggling with huge bills and inflation but still beholden to the very union which puts in a government that has left us all worse off than 2009. While  spouting misogynistic shite like wee nippy or wee krankie while cheering absolute buffoons like Johnson and truss.

  9. Yeah let's vote  Labour the party of the people and who gave us wonderful things such as tuition fees. I think the snp are tired now and need a spell either as a minority administration even with green support, Or in opposition, So let's see a labour Tory and Lin Dem coalition run us. Might refresh some people's memories.

  10. I just think that as long as it doesn't turn out that there's a glut of players earning 5k upwards a week, there's nothing wrong in spending this money to improve the playing squad. As others have said, it's a low cost loan repaid over a long time. Why not use it to try and get higher up the league and thus earn more money? It's not like it's a Wonga loan.
