    My only concern is that surely we only have space for one more loan after this one? You want to get player tied down on 2 year contracts if possible and with loan players there’s always the risk they get pulled away in January due to injuries at the parent club or if someone else wants them. 

    International loans are booked differently iirc. Almost treated as a transfer, with a deferred fee from memory.

    No, I am a nerd who is really into the mechanics of elections (though I hate politics). The various Boundaries Commissions get a ton of criticism that's almost never justified or informed.

    Here's a better area for criticism (though it's not the Boundaries Commission's choice either): constituencies aren't made up using population data, or adult population data, or even the population eligible to vote. They're made up using numbers on the electoral register. Young people, those who move around a lot, homeless people, those in poor health, single parents, ethnic minorities and others are all less likely to be registered to vote. So the make-up of constituencies automatically has a right-leaning bias. Also, with 16 & 17 year olds and immigrants eligible to vote in Scottish Parliament elections, those boundaries are closer to neutral.

    FWIW putting Strathallan in Stirling makes it more likely the SNP will win the Perth & Kinross-shire seat, which is much more marginal than Stirling, so it probably helps the SNP overall.

     

    I genuinely don't know, but is the Uni campus in the Strathallan area that's been added?  I know most will travel home, but there are still some students living there over the summer.

    We didn’t put the Somerset road end on sale so no one bought tickets to stand there so we haven’t sold enough tickets to justify giving Ayr fans the Somerset road end.

    fucking hell. 
     

    The statement has somehow made things worse.

    Lets make the new stand all black and white is fairly pointless.

    move all tickets sold in the north terrace to the SRE, sell the SRE to Ayr fans and give Celtic fans the north terrace. We make money, piss off less folk 

    and have all the pics of the opening of the new stand just be a pile of Celtic fans?

    No, you replied with a fairy story that is completely untrue, based on one visit over a period of 13 years.

    You moving the subject onto Aye signing a player we’d have preferred to have kept is mere deflection, but you know that anyway.

    nah you're right I made it all up for reasons known only to myself.

    For about 15 minutes after the game. And of course, while Morton allow away fans to move freely between the stand and the Wee Dublin End, some guy in a hi-vis specifically chose to pick on you, conveniently giving you an argument ten months down the line.

    Sounds a bit far-fetched to me.

    Likewise, Morton have provided cover for the Ayr United fans my entire life.

    I replied to a post calling the WDE a great place, giving my own opinion.
    You're the one sniping away that I dared criticise an open hill of concrete with wee seats nailed on for being a shite state of affairs in 2024.

    Us signing Oakley really has rattled the f**k out of you boys 😂

    Mr Jobsworth at M&S in Waverley station yesterday.

    Rushing so had to get a sandwich and a couple of cans of G&T for the train north*, been a long weekend. 

    He insisted I had to show my ID before he could approve the alcohol, I thought he was joking. He was not, I understand check 18 /21 /25. I had to hand him my driving license. I was traveling using my Scotrail Club 50 tickets, I'm 54 FFS in a couple of weeks, I have a son older than the bampot I was dealing with so a bit of common sense please, or use of your eyeballs and brain.

    * I am well aware of the irony of someone pedantically sticking to the rules on alcohol sales whilst I was about to break them by having a drink on a train, but again please, a little common sense

     

    better than the feeling of defeat when the wee lassie just glances at you and hits the 'visibly over 25' button

    So you hadn’t been to Cappielow in 13 years, and on the one occasion you did visit you were exposed to the elements- the elements on that August day being sunshine and a light breeze?

    And despite other Ayr fans being in the far-from-full away section of the main stand, you were denied entry when fans of other teams that get both sections can moved freely between them?

    Come on, with respect, you’re talking nonsense here. There are plenty of sticks to beat Morton and Cappielow with, most of them justified, but you’re just making things up here.

    Quite a hill to die on.

    it was pissing of rain and I was told I couldn't go in by a guy in high vis
