  1. All gate money, sponsorship, tv money etc pooled and split equally between the 42 clubs. Seems fair. Success then comes down to competence and ability - a meritocracy.
  2. Didn't we give them a section of the Main Stand once, moving the season ticket holders?
  3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-68721208
  4. I see your lot are finding it tougher to win a league on the pitch instead of voting yourselves champions.
  5. Seen a few articles now as the blazers get their pet journos to start nipping away at the Ultras in Scottish football. They can f**k right off with that as our Ultras have been sensational, transforming the match day experience for everyone. They are what supporting football is about - passion, energy, joy and yes - a frisson of danger and excitement. I don't mind the smoke bombs and flares. At the start of the season I thought the drum was a bit naff but I was absolutely wrong on that one. I love the banners, flags and songs "MCIVOR!!" But they're looked down upon by the suits who will no doubt try to control them, ban them, drive them out of what they wrongly consider their turf. I hope that we, as a fan owned club speak up for our fans and prevent the wankers in charge squeezing the joy out of the game.
  6. Does that qualify them for a star above their badge?
  7. When we were getting French in 1st/2nd Year, our teacher told us French kids put chocolate on baguettes. When my family took their first ever foreign holiday when I was 14, I remembered this and made a beeline for a supermarket (Supermarche). A bar of Dairy Milk on a buttered roll isn't the foreign delicacy she made it out to be.
  8. Col said they sat down before the start of the season and worked out what they needed to do to win the division. Let's hope they do the same again. None of this "hoping to compete" or "consolidating", we're in it to win it. The majority of the squad will be the same, with the shared experience and winning mentality and they've shown that it's not about having the best players*, the second best squad on the third best budget absolutely smashed it through desire and hard work. Now do it again. *there's barely a player in our team I'd swap for anyone else in the league though.
  9. Fair enough - took it from this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-68655579
  10. Isn't that what some MP is suing about? He apparently made a quip about Trans folk, a complaint was made and the Police investigated. They decided it didn't breach the criminal threshold but they recorded the incident. Later, the police referred to it with a number - effectively, the guy was now on a list. The police have also said they will investigate every complaint and presumably record the results. No idea what is being done with this list but as it's a public record, I presume other agencies will be able to access it.
  11. Just watched the game again. Mackie playing keepie-uppie in midfield Col with a magnificent trap then later, a cheeky back heel. The outrageous dummy from Alfie that sent two Montrose defenders clean out the park
  12. That was fucking mental! What a night. What a team. What a bunch of fans!
  13. Nah, I think they're probably safe now.
  14. For once in your miserable Tory country bumpkin lives, do the right thing and at least shit-fest a draw
  15. Quite a sing-song on the train just now. Choo-choo motherfucker
  16. Was literally the first thing I thought about when I opened my eyes this morning.
  17. Actually, Doddie Weir is a good shout. Notsomuch for his playing career but for his legacy.
