North End are winning this. Playing against ordinary teams who have nothing to play for in the double figures months.

You might be correct but his personal authority is shot. Interesting if the Tories would actually want a general election given there is every reason to expect they could go back to 4th party status.

P&B Chess League - Season 8 coming soonβ¦.
invergowrie arab replied to Frank Grimes's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Invergowrie beats @pleslie99 by resignation. Very close game but my opponent giving up a rook fork was the difference. Well played. -
Maybe not but he has fucked it up spectacularly. He has form for making impulsive decisions eg ripping up the Verity House agreement 5 minutes after signing it with COSLA by announcing the council tax freeze and not consulting his cabinet. It's now clear he can't stay on. I imagine he will he sold sooner rather than later, if he hasn't already, that being beholden to Alba is intolerable. Whilst the likes of Forbes might like him to own a WM defeat I think there will be enough MPs in the central belt thinking there is enough time to turn it around or the Humza effect hasn't bottomed out yet.

Hillwalking Thread
invergowrie arab replied to Middleton Mouse's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
The much maligned Beinn Bhuidhe today along the "ugly" new access track. Have to say I throughly enjoyed it. The track has bedded in, at least as far the hilltrack and i would believe you if you told me it had been there 50 years. Had summit views of mountains, lochs and islands so absolutely nothing to complain about. -
Is commitment to the pyramid not a condition of license even at T5? Get them emptied to the North Juniors.

A 16 team league with a split gives a 37 game season. Scottish football shouldn't be modelling our league around the needs of teams like Livingston and St Johnstone who have a business model of selling to away fans. The benefits of OF games are overstated anyway. We get bigger crowds v Dundee and Aberdeen -
Hard to know what to make of the season. Objectively a very good points haul and a very good number of goals scored. It didnt feel like a lot of fun though. Some of the home games especially were turgid to watch. Goodwin and the club obviously had zero goodwill and credit from the fans so everything that went wrong seemed heightened. Players playing poorly were kept in the side too long and conversely (I don't have the stats) I'd be surprised if we went two matches with the same XI before last month. Injuries haven't helped with that and we are a much better team with Docherty than without. It seems very old firmy to whine too much when you win the league though. In most seasons that points tally would have been a much more comfortable winning margin so credit has to go to Goodwin for that also to Raith for keeping it tight. I'll also patronise the rest of you before I go. For all the talk about it being a poor quality championship I think there are 8 good teams in this league - Arbroath and QP were garbage. But in at least one game I have seen every other team play good football.

We are the greatest football club of all time. -
Dundee United 23/24

I'd keep Meekison. He will be on buttons and I don't see a bidding war. I think he is the most talented of the lot and if not for injuries I think would have had more minutes. Mochrie, Glass and Chalmers have all had a chance and are nowhere near Premier League players. -

Could have gone McMann but wanted to spread it about a bit. McMann has looked effective but his stats are meh. TBF Strapp is maybe a reach but thought he was excellent when I was at Cappielow recently and if not for injuries I think could do something. Mind you on that basis maybe Harry Milne a better shout. -

Does anyone else not have strength enough views/don't know enough to pick RB/LB and just Google assists? Walton McMillan Gallagher Holt Strapp Fotheringham Stanton Docherty Easton Moult Graham -
I got aspire lounge access free through credit card and its not like many lounges I have ben in before. There didn't seem to be any discernible difference between there and Spoons. Not that it bothers as I'm not too good for the Walter Scott and its where I would have been quite happily if not for the freebie but surprised if people are paying money to sit amongst loud groups of golf groups and stag dos.

Do they need to work around New Douglas Park?
