But the football team is Pollok.
-
A few interesting ties there with upset potential. The Wasps, Lichties, Accies, Stenny, FC Edinburgh and Albion Rovers may need a performance.
-
Aye, the correct decision IMO. Colpie has had the sense to sniff the coffee and move on, end of.
-
I think you're having a pop at the wrong target here Moonster - the main chancer and buck-chaser in all of this is unfortunately still very much in place. At least credit Colpie for coming on here and facing his critics, and it's probably the first and almost certainly the last time anyone from within the club Boardroom will lift the lid on anything down there. Credit too that he didn't take long to realise what he had got into and got out pronto.
-
Maybe Colpie was sought out and sold a vision by Andy Hosie which turned out to be not quite what it seemed. I mean it wouldn't be the first time - ask a certain Norwegian who is desperate to exit.
-
Colpie can defend himself but if you are looking for chancers then look no further than the two characters behind Cognitive Capital. Maybe this was a genuine attempt to invest money and take the club forward but there was then a quick realisation that they risked backing a deuce when they saw how the club is run. Who knows? Here's another theory. Dalmoak has died a death and maybe Cognitive are looking for an exit door, but at a price. Maybe they thought Colpie fitted that bill but it all went Pete Tong. Who knows? Come back and tell us @colpie

Better.....and we have an interest in Monday's draw.

Next temporary leader of the Conservative Party PM
Frank Quitely replied to Granny Danger's topic in The Politics Forum
She wasn't even the worst Home Secretary as it turns out. -
We haven't scored in open play for nearly five hours - what could go wrong?
-
Judging by the behind-the-scenes re-emergence of the guy below it looks like the hard-right Eurosceptics are working very hard to sandbag Truss as some sort of puppet Prime Minister who will dance robotically to their tune. His past proximity to Lynton Crosby should be an immediate red flag for anyone of remotely liberal thought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Canzini If this IS the case then short of Gove and whoever having the cojones to take them on and dethrone Truss then the nightmare for the British electorate may be about to trundle on.

The last UK Cabinet Minister who did that flew back to his P45.
-
I was told he will miss the cup-tie unless there is a successful appeal.
-
Yes he is, and for the record who are these match winners?
-
I'm sure that was a local decision.
-
I'm afraid you have a malfunctioning board that got shafted for 35 grand in sponsorship by the club owner. But good luck to Joe, he's got a low bar to beat

You may be underestimating the innate political conservatism of a great swathe of the English electorate, whether they stay in England, Scotland or Wales. NI is its own basket-case. The only thing which will shake their Tory conviction is if they themselves begin to experience financial hardship, as they traditionally don't give a flying f**k about others as long as they are all right Jack. Not all certainly, but not a few either.

UKIP and their ilk are the foot-soldiers. The much more decisive influence over Tory policy in recent years has come from once-niche libertarian economic organisations like the Institute Of Economic Affairs and the Taxpayers Alliance. And whilst a lot has involved private lobbying, they owe a debt of gratitude to the BBC in particular, with the likes of Mark Littlewood of the IEA appearing so often on TV and radio that the public gains the impression that he represents mainstream political opinion. With their philosophy now stalled at Government level it will be interesting to see the next moves from these creeps. They won't be going away that's for sure.

Dumbarton v Albion Rovers
Frank Quitely replied to Sweet Pete's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
'We've had great chances' and 'didn't give up a lot of chances'. Really ? Other than Ross McLean sidefooting past the post in the first half I'm struggling to think of another clear cut chance from ourselves. Rovers cracked the post in the first minute, then scored from open play and were denied both by a manic goalmouth scramble and a fantastic second-hand reaction save by Brett Long. Was I at a different game ? -
Success is judged in May so the answer to your question is no.
-
Well we're basically talking about one Director from a Board of three, and my gut feeling is that based on what I'm now watching, events on the park will begin to overtake whatever sentiment, hope or wishful thinking is in play. We have been going backwards recently and there is little to suggest that anything is going to change radically under the current set-up. Kicking the can down the road is a very poor option IMO.
-
I wouldn't be so sure. His position will be under scrutiny precisely because we were relegated and there is an expectation that we will at the least be in the mix for promotion. That is now looking weaker by the week and in case anyone noticed we are no longer top of the league. A cup-tie this Friday at Cumnock has gone from a novelty away day to a potential fright night. With two points from twelve we have lost our way and the Manager has resorted to selection and substitute bingo. At the moment I have no other ambition other than to avoid being sucked towards the lower end of this division - folk can quote stats all they like but I'll trust what I'm watching.
