  1. And of course there are cringing royalists who are also staunch Roman Catholics. Jacob Rees Mogg, Ann Widdecombe and the ghost of Jimmy Saville ETA: that's "staunch" in it's normal outside world sense as opposed to the P&B vernacular obviously
  2. I'm more concerned about winning the cup two more times so we can catch up with Queens Park The spiders have had gloating rights for too long
  3. I was confused for a moment because Dalry, Edinburgh is pretty cultured and cosmopolitan these days
  4. Don't that sort of people engage enough whataboutery and faux "victimhood" as it is without actively incentivising them to be "offended" As with the offensive behaviour at football grounds act any measures by the SPFL would probably trigger the law of unintended consequnces
  5. We're possibly into double figures left now Irritatingly , after I've booked decent seats in the North stand a block of really good ones seats have appeared in the top tier of the South Stand I should have waited longer
  6. He wasn't clear whether the four weeks of "Teaching him about sectarianism." was trying to teach him how to be sectarian or how not to be sectarian I'm hoping it's the latter but given that it's Ayrshire we can't assume anything
  7. It’s Glens isn’t it thank you for your proof reading services
  8. There’s a few behind the goals but a few random available seats keep appearing in other previously sold out sections which must be returns or something I wasn’t going to go because I thought I’d left it too late to get decent tickets but then I saw a couple of good seats in the north stand appear out of nowhere so I’m onboard
  9. It's a plausible hypothesis that can't be discarded out of hand but I'd also suggest another couple of possibilities... The idea of interfering in the market was always ideologically problematic for Tories and they were always liable to to ditch it when politically convenient The people that make Grant's Vodka have donated lots of money to the Tories in return for them defending their interests
  10. Unfortunately Hearts haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders of late either. We've taken 7 points from 4 but we made pretty heavy going of it I've put £20 on Hearts at 5/1 to go through as insurance, because Cup Finals are expensive days out
  11. More to the point you I and thousands like us are also benefactors I've apparently given them £2,604 so far through a shadowy foundation In fact we're worse than Anderson because after all we are the owners of the club propping it up by subsidising it's losses from our own pocket, we're as bad as Farad Moshiri. The Well Society are clearly at it as well and the SMISA for that matter and Morton Club Together should be ashamed of themselves
  12. Here we only have penalties for clubs going into administration which is like waiting till you crash your car before giving you a fine for drunk driving and if you make it home safely then you're fine That's not to say that adopting the English Premiership's rules wholesale is necessarily a good thing but some kind of oversight might be a good idea. I'd suggest that if your wage bill is over 80% of revenue then the league should take measures. But In the first instance these should be preventative as opposed to punitive, you should be need league approval for any new signings and have to demonstrate that they're fiscally responsible
  13. Although why Sky would want it to kick off simultaneously with Fulham vs Man City is another question
  14. But it would probably have to continue for more than a week before he does that So you're hypothesising about things that can happen for a while and aren't mathematically certain anyway He's not going to like that, not one bit
  15. If ever there was a time to take a risk on showboating with a Panenka Penalty then 4-0 up with your hat trick already secure was the time to do it. Or at least that's might be what Pickford was thinking
  16. Both recency bias and it's counterpart misty eyed nostalgia can both distort ones view but there's another problem to contend with There's an underlying assumption that because it's reasonable to say some players are better than some other players every player must be better or worse than any given other player and therefore there must be a single player that's better than all the others. Which makes more sense in individual sports but is a weaker assertion in team sports where the very appeal is that the whole performance can be more than the sum of the individual parts. Sometimes if two players swapped clubs it would leave both clubs weaker And in an era where players at top clubs are under more and more detailed direction from their managers the "quality" of a player is even more subject to how well they fit that club. Lists of top X players in position Y since arbitrary cut off date Z should probably be treated with the same seriousness as the 100 hottest celebrities
  17. Following this on the radio and I could see that was a penalty Referee’s a joke
  18. well my worries about it being as dull as last time weren’t justified If Livingston could maintain the level of intensity they opened with for 90 minutes they’d be dangerous
  19. There is now the option of swapping the Dundee vs Rangers game with the Rangers vs Dundee game to give the Dens park ground staff more time to resolve the problems
  20. Heads up for @VincentGuerincan you have your illustrations ready for when @10menwent2mowtells us tomorrow that St Mirren can no longer catch Hearts hearts can no longer catch Celtic everybody else ignore this post because the weekend’s not over yet
