  1. I think this is a bit misguided. I'm with you to a degree inasmuch as the rhetoric and tone of the recent commemoration of the granting of (some) women's suffrange has been irresponsible in creating a dynamic of triumph over men - this, to me, completely overlooks the class element of this story which is still a factor now. I'm not convinced either that the establishment graciously granted young men the vote due to "risking their lives on the battlefield" - rather an institutionalised paranoia that this country would be next in the firing line of fervent trend of revolution gripping the continent at that point in British history. Your last sentence is baffling to be honest.
  2. To be fair, there was nothing he could have done for that one against Hamilton - made a few decent stops in that game as I recall. He's a young goalkeeper who hasn't had many games in his career and that's probably pretty apparent in his game. Great distance and accuracy from kick-outs, although he uses them too exclusively - lacks confidence to make a quick release. Definitely made a couple of mistakes against Aberdeen and Hibs, and I'm not sorry to see him leave - but who knows, maybe he'll come good.
  3. How is it an away game at Kay Park? Bags not getting it if it goes in the pond. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Pie and Bovril mobile app
  4. It can increase risk of fire. Unlike your outrageous reign of terror with the telly volume, which just increases your risk of dying alone.
  5. I can't see a direct quote from him where he says Gerrard was a plodder. Must be missing it.
  6. So it seems he doesnt say anything remotely like this about Gerrard. Between this and the "Killie will win the league headline" from a couple of weeks ago it seems the BBC are plqying up to Daily Express levels of clickbait.
  7. The absolute state of her. Clutching her diamante fucking white spirit adamantly offended about something or other. You can't possibly want to back up this kind of trout just because you nominally support the same football team. Surely.
  8. Boom. Livi fans hitting the ground running here. Welcome aboard lads.
  9. Decent finisher....................
  10. What a fucking monstrosity - might be teetering on the border of "Ah'll no be back" country.
  11. What the f**k is a fan zone? Is it just a bar? Christ, I'm too young to be the oldest man in the world.
  12. Must have been the Ipswich Town day oot - fairly certain that's Alan Brazil to the right of picture... Must have heard the bell for last orders.
  13. Think that's the right decisions all round, although I'm surprised to see Mouanda leaving - I'd heard reasonable positive things about him. Wouldn't be adverse to seeing all three loans returning next season. And as you say....no mention of Mulumbu...
  14. Certainly a divisive figure, but how he was ever able to argue out an impaired debt us still a mystery to me - undoubtedly gave the club a second life.
  15. If that's the trust's representative I called that a year ago.
  16. This is a rhetoric that you hear all the time on this subject, but to my mind can be an extremely damaging line that's used to cover things up that organisations would rather not confront. It's not necessarily a point-scoring exercise to state that an organisation's response to a sexual allegation is inadequate. Of course it's not acceptable to suggest that Rangers, or Celtic, or the BBC, or the Catholic Church, or any other organisation is automatically complicit in sexual abuse if it happens within their boundaries - but IMO there exists a social responsibility to scrutinise that organisation's reaction.
  17. Nothing like an unattractive lassie singing about sexual harassment to bring the unabashed antisemitism out of the p&b Da' collective it seems...
  18. Every time I hear those fuckers mentioned I feel like Dreyfus in the Pink Panther films.
  19. Lot of United fans definitely not bothered by this shambles....definitely not. Good for you lads.
