Simmer. You ought to give the Sons support bashing a rest. Our 'percentage of bams' will be no different from any other small club.

Presumably you've never been to Ibrox, Parkhead or Central Park? Perhaps you should find a new club to support if its that annoying?

Machine Head - Liquid Rooms 31/7/14 Christ!

It's cringey patter aye but home games wouldn't be the same without it - I get withdrawals if I don't hear 'crapped it ref!' every second Saturday. I also admire the guy's commitment to continue with a rant long after everyone else has settled back to watching the game. It's commendable enthusiasm.

Having looked through the albums that I've picked up this year I can't help but notice a distinct lack of metal. Anyone heard anything decent so far this year or is it the case that we're going to get an overload of top quality riffage later in 2014? Stuff i'm looking forward to: Triptykon - april Vader - May Agalloch - May Opeth - summer Mastodon - summer At The Gates - 2014 Machine Head - 2014 Wolves in the Throne Room - 2014 Tool - ???

Presumably Ian will be giving some thought to who stays/who goes at the end of the season. His list should look something like this: Keep Turner (already signed) Kirkpatrick Graham Megginson Nish Fleming Gilhaney Agnew McGinn Linton Coleman Lumsden McKerracher Prunty Punt Phinn McDougall Smith Grindlay Ewings McLaughlin Shug Ronald (Also no point in Ian and Jack registering as players) Current Loans Miller Kane Thomson

All joking aside though, where the f**k is this plane?

Seriously though, where the f**k is it?

What a shambles Morton are. Destined to finish rock bottom of a league featuring 3 part-time clubs and Raith Rovers. Their fans must be mortified.

Bands/venues who don't post/tweet stage times in advance of gigs. Bit of information sharing makes life that bit easier.

That truly was a 'curl up and die' moment.

In all probability but I reckon there's still a few queries that it would be interesting to hear Ian's thoughts on, e.g. are you finished as a player?

Feeling amongst the support is overwhelmingly positive. He's a predator: 6 goals/5 games. He's also a work horse with a seemingly endless amount of energy to chase and harry the opposition. He's also an intelligent player who employs neat touches and is very aware of where his team-mates are on the pitch. You've potentially got yourselves a real player.

For anyone who missed tickets for the Barras gig (me), they've announced a date in the Corn Exchange 14/8.

Mogwai crushed my face tonight, stunning stuff. The new songs, whilst fairly average on record, were excellent live.

As stupid as you looked when you ended up at the shunting yard twice?

Can't believe you made the same mistake twice tbh

Completed my first ever 10k last night and amazed myself in finishing just under 56mins. Was convinced it would take me over an hour. I had no real expectations (other than losing a few stone) when I started running at the beginning of November but now considering entering a few races in 2014 to try and get the time down.

Luck? There's nothing lucky about where we are.

Really need to get the topic title changed. Keep the alliteration though.

Would love to see a bit more ATPB in the set but its still a solid group of songs

Just spotted another 'minute's silence' classic in the highlights from the St Johnstone v St Mirren match. In trying to ascertain exactly what the f**k St Johnstone's mascot is, I noted that some joker has been having a ball on the Scottish mascots Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_football_mascots#Scotland

I reckon Martin will go onto have a very solid career in the 2 lower leagues - he has the attributes. Not quite good enough to cut it at our current lofty heights though, as others have noted. Meanwhile, Murray could do worse than having a pick at Butcher's leftovers in Leith to get some more squad cover through to the end of the season.

We had a poll in my work today. 31 colleagues took part. Results: Yes - 3 No - 28
