    Is it just me or are the signings we have made so far (Murphy aside) been on the cheap, a free agent and a player from non league, both of whom are about 21 years old?

    To coin another poster. We're shopping in Lidl not Waitrose.

    Last year we found Dipo in the middle ailse. Let's see what we can find this year.

    Stockton Rush seems to have been an absolute weapons-grade fuckwit of the highest order.

    100%. He seemed to cut a lot of corners and there seems to be next to no regulation.

    I still find it bizarre that people would pay so much to go into that thing.

    That isn't working though but for small Tories that don't much care, that's ok

    Aye, much better to waste 3 years and tens of millions of pounds on a new scheme and then defer it for 2 years.

    If only some of those resources could have been spent on improving the much maligned kerbside recycling. Rather than pursuing a supposed silver bullet! 🤦‍♂️

    Damn those evil Tories though!

    The issue here is that it is England that is the outlier.  When a DRS policy was discussed between the nations, glass was included.  England who are years behind us the changed their mind and are now enforcing this on everyone using a bill that they claimed at the time was not about controlling the devolved governments.

    Scotland has done nothing wrong.  As for CSL, they would have claimed it could still work if Westminster had limited it to 500ml bottles of Irn Bru Xtra.

    I've made the point before on this thread, Norway have DRS without glass. Its possible.

    Moreover, why wait until 2023 to apply for the internal market exemption? It could have been done two/three years ago.

    The Scottish Government have badly misplayed their hand. In order to get it done first.

    I challenge the whole concept of a deposit return scheme in any case when we have kerbside recycling. The business model propagated by Circularity Scotland and endorsed by the Scottish Government was based on millions of non-refunded deposits. Where would these non-refunded deposits come from? The elderly, disabled and the poor seems likely. Namely, those who can't easily get to the machines to recycle their bottles. This has never been the silver bullet that the SG proposed.

    The whole concept was poorly thought through and I'm glad it's been binned. Blaming it solely on the big bad Tories is for the oxygen thiefs it is so vacuous it is untrue.

  5. Given Circularity Scotland said the scheme was viable without glass then its hard for Lorna Slater to credibly blame anyone else. She is the minister concerned and should really have fallen on her sword for this debacle.

    Instead, it's all the big bad torries fault for refusing to give an internal market exemption for glass. Hopefully, enough can see throw that particularly poor smoke screen. Lorna Slater isn't up to it, as least Partick Harvie keeps a low profile in keeping with his junior ministerial post.

    Yes, I think some of our fans have delusions of grandeur where our signing prowess is concerned.

    Delusions of grandeur? Without a hint of irony? From the guy who literally said that Salkeld and Fjortoft were proven Championship players. Let's look at their career trajectory since Ayr - one has left football altogether and the other one just got relegated to League Two. 🤦‍♂️

    That's dedication standing out there for a whole week awaiting her return. I see they also got lucky today with another presser to talk about things you can't ask and only she can speak about

    Aye, NS been a lot happier to speak about a live investigation since she got arrested as a suspect for questioning.
