Do you feel this was an adequate response to this post? Very much so, To some extent, Not at tall, or Don’t know?

If it’s the spelling you’re pointing out, I’m trying to write it as Brent says it, and as is probably spelled by Keith.

Under ‘weaknesses’.. you’ve put ‘exma?’

You’ll get a macaroni pie at a lot of grounds, and the odd cheese and onion bake. No vegan options though. If you’re wanting to give up animal products then stick at it, veggie and vegan alternatives aren’t boring if you give it a chance. Have a look for some recipe books, or even some videos on Facebook which can be good. Even eating out is a lot easier than it was five years ago, for example; more places have more and better options.

Love length.

That song gets stuck in my head for approximately 9 weeks every time I have to buy black bin bags at the shopping. Thank f**k I don’t eat corned beef.

You’re not gonna lose your job, you’re not gonna lose your job.. you know.. you’re not gonna lose your job.

Probably didn’t even notice that until I’d seen that episode a few times. It’s one of the many subtleties you don’t notice if you only watch it first. Watching the Training episode just now, which is a brilliant example of that. The “I think there’s been a rape up there!” line is brilliant in itself, but it’s the image of Gareth still taking notes throughout that utter cluster-f**k of a scenario that really ‘makes’ scene.

We should have a poll for the best episode. ‘Training’ gets my vote. The entire episode is incredible, not a single line wasted. David’s time-wasting and spotlight-chasing antics, Tim’s one-liners, Gareth and Tim’s farmer debate, Keith setting his voicemail for the day, Rowan’s expressions of despair, the agony of Tim asking Dawn our and, Tim finally cracking, and, of course, Brent’s songs. “Well then he shouldn’t be allowed near animals.”

‘...and they’re rubbish compared to you.’ And I say ‘don’t slag them off.’

Young at heart.

The way he sucks in his gut when the woman walks into the room after the speech is borderline genius. I’ve tried desperately to find a Dirty Bertie toy. No luck though. “Come on, come on, baby!”

“Obsessed” patter. ‘Rent free’ has to be the worst phrase that footy banter lads have produced in a while.

Paton perfected the ‘dad that can still kick a baw filling in for his son’s fives game’ role.

“Anyone seen my Austin Powers glasses from Halloween?”

Spineless c**t.

Lying (possibly blind but I need a half hour drive to make sure) c**t

Wonder what garage off the M1 he’ll have been spotted in. I’m saying Shell at Duckmanton services, just south of Sheffield.

“Shouldn’t you have gone for a drive for a wee while to see if you’re safe to drive?” “You’re right, but I’m still not wrong.”

He’s in fucking bits here. Glorious.

It’s just sympathy for people without a job for the foreseeable. Even the highest earners of those who aren’t being renewed won’t be earning much more than the average salary in the country. It’s not sympathy for people who now can’t afford a third home or a new motor, it’s sympathy for people who have lost their income and job prospects will be pretty low. If there’s a valid reason the club didn’t keep them on rolling contracts, at no expense of the club’s, I’d like to hear from McArthur. At this point in the average season, a large portion of footballers could easily unemployed for up to a couple of months, but there’s a very high chance it won’t last long, as another club will sign them up. This season is obviously completely different; every club is feeling the pinch and the players now out of contract face being unemployed for a substantial period of time. If the club had the opportunity to prevent that hardship, even for an extra month or two, they should have done.

There’s a good few in that list who I’d be surprised if they were older than 16/17, and surely haven’t moved out of their family home. As you say, hopefully they come from stable homes and this won’t affect them as much as the ones who are more likely to have kids and a mortgage.

Aye, I wouldn’t rule out a u-turn after getting a bit of bad press.

Paul Paton has replied to the Ayr United headline with a clapping emoji. Perhaps a bit of a dig at Dunfermline for not keeping him and others on the books for another month or so. Edit: the tweet has been liked by Callum Smith.

Only 9 of the 17 listed played first team football this season. One of whom, Stuart Morrison, made 4 leagues appearances. Also included in those 9 is a goalkeeper who was replaced midway through the season and 2 players who were loaned out to one of your seaside rivals. Last season we didn’t renew the contracts of 8 regular first team players. The season before that, 8. The season before that, 7. That’s not including players who weren’t first team regulars or chose to sign for other clubs. Fairly certain this is you losing the fucking place. Fantastic stuff.
