    Says you, who call himself a Motherwell fan yet has a reference to Rangers 55th title in his name? 

     

    A glory hunter and a 2 teamer. Despicable.

     

     

    Of course the number 55 could only possibly apply to that item.

    When did Rangers win their 55th title?

     

    A dick and a bit thick. Despicably all too common.

    Here's my list

    Ayr
    Partick
    Queen's Park
    Dundee
    Falkirk
    Airdrie
    Clyde

     

    I can detail my reasons for the above later on, but I'm just about to be seated at Yo Sushi imminently so short on time

    I note you have not given the rest of us the benefit of knowing who you supposedly follow. One of the worst threads in a world of shite threads.

  3. No striker of any note, and still the same faces around who are not good enough at this level - Davies, Iwobi, McNeil (possibly improving), Coleman ( well past best), and I have been disappointed by Idrissa Gueye who looks too slow.

    Patterson, DCL , Mina and Garner never available.

    Lots of 1-0 wins required.

    Fingers crossed

  4. There has been no long term vision or stability at the club for a very long time, Danny Lennon had to work with 4 different Chairmen in his tenure as manager, a ludicrous statement in its self.  

     

    Is that because anyone who gets close enough to the detail sees the scale of the challenge in its current format, and decides against taking on the stressful challenge?

  5. The financial projections for the next couple of seasons are grim and I again come back to us continually being told all the revenue streams we couldn’t tap at broadwood were holding us back. (Remember the mighty Annan and their social club being held up as a model of success). We are selling our own pints and curries pre-match at NDP are we not? Yet still it seems we cannot compete with even the top half of league 2.

     

    Anyone who ever believes that selling some food and drink for a couple of hours every second week makes any difference whatsoever has no grasp on economic reality.  If you owned a social club that had a vibrant business 7 days a week and a pitch to rent out, then you are now having a worthwhile discussion but only trading when the football is on is just laughable.

    It is unsustainable.

    Virtually everyone takes the NHS for granted and that's going to be its downfall.

    Between drug abuse, alcohol abuse and food abuse, we have an army of people who can't do the bare minimum of looking after themselves and end up becoming a completely avoidable burden on the NHS and the rest of society. Many of the same people who are stretching the system to the very edge of its destruction are the first to pepper every online forum with complaints about how the system is letting them down and how it's all the fault of the Tories. It isn't just the Tories. It's virtually everyone.

    Nobody wants to accept any responsiblity for the state it's in.

    I have no idea what the solution is here but I'm not persuaded at all that it needs more money (although I've swayed back and forth on this). That money will just be gobbled up in a million different inefficiences and pay rises, resulting in zero improvement to front line services. We should be able to run a highly effective NHS on £160 billion per year. That's thousands of pounds per year for every man, woman and child in the country. The fact that we can't should be ringing alarm bells everywhere but it elicits nothing more than yet more illogical screaming for ever more cash to be thrown at it.

    We live in a world where criticism of such as the NHS would be shouted down, and the quality of politicians means they do not stand their ground.  There will be many ways to spend the money more effectively, but raising your head above parapet and saying what needs to be said is a lost art. No organisation I know has a budget of £160bn and can't see shortcomings.

    Go to A&E in any town on any evening and you will see the time/money and nurses & doctors patience wasted on the same relatively small, but very expensive, population of drunks, junkies, wasters and tough guys. They soak up time & money that could be used in much better ways. I will not hold my breath waiting for any politician to tackle it though. 

  7. Slightly off topic, and apologies if already asked and answered, but are all three countries automatically qualifying for the next World Cup?

    If so, would that mean a successful bid would put England, Scotland, Wales, N Ireland and S Ireland IN AUTOMATICALLY. 

  8. NHS chiefs in Scotland discuss having wealthy pay for treatment - BBC News

    Who is wealthy? Whoever the yare have they not already paid their tax?

    Should a poorer person who drinks too much, takes drugs, is obese be given free care when a clean living individual who earns above average has to pay again?

    Who would be next? 

    The promises of everything for everyone are now coming home to roost. Unsustainable.

    The Club have not actually stated that they will be recruiting a manager. Are they waiting to see how things go with AM in charge or have they not decided yet? I expect they’ll already have been contacted by hopefuls, so that may have a bearing on their decision. Need to get this one right!

    Yeah, salary saved to cover the redundancy payment. Very possible.

    It’s abundantly clear JIMMY CHOO is either a tiresome troll or a total clown; irrespective I don’t know why we continue to engage.

    Lennon’s record is both abysmal and indefensible, simple. Since scraping through promotion he has offered the club nothing, and becomes increasingly erratic with his signings and “tactics” season on season.

    This is the fourth time now we have been in a concerning rut and calling for Danny to move on, and albeit he managed to do just enough to escape them on previous occasions, it is the fact that he keeps ending up in trouble that drives the necessity for change! Now, before his luck finally runs out and we are relegated.

    Make no mistake, if we end up going down with our current manager, board, budget and stadium arrangement, we are on a one-way trip to oblivion.

    It was clear months go he was a troll. No one is really that dim.
