  1. P&j saying that's Michael Ruth leaving when his deal ends this summer. Is Ryan Duncan ready for the 1st team squad?
  2. Hibs are quite far behind but still have an outside chance if they can make their managerial appointment spectacular.
  3. I think there's a delicate balance to be struck between not giving these twats the attention they clearly need and not letting nonsense go unchallenged. Sometimes, though, it's hard to resist a childish insult.
  4. If i was commuting to London (and plenty do from here), the pre tax cost of a season ticket would be bigger than the pay cut they're offering. I'd take that deal.
  5. Don't worry. The good old private sector wealth creators will provide much needed investment capital and step in to the breach.
  6. All legitimate gripes. But what Benny is proposing is at least feasible under the current system and probably better than monoculture forestry, sheep farming and grouse moors.
  7. I saw a good Who tribute band in the late 90s but i don't think they're still going and i can't remember what they were called. Also a Steps tribute band called "step ahead", which i remember being at Charlies, but that can't be right. It's anecdotes like this that make me think i've arrived at middle age.
  8. Aberdeen and St Mirren both avoided automatic relegation on Saturday too.
  9. You're underselling an epic battle for eighth here.
  10. We need to replace the two centre backs and the two centre mids that are out of contract in summer with potential first team starters for those same positions. Similarly, anyone else leaving needs backfilled with quality. We currently need at least one additional starting winger. We need back up/options at right back, striker and that attacking mid/second striker position we have Watkins in. That's 8 absolute essentials. It would be good to upgrade our squad options from Kennedy and McLennan as back up wingers and we shouldn't be relying on an ageing Hayes as one of those options. That's 11 new players that we really need to be decent. That's before even thinking about replacing Ramsay, Ferguson, Lewis or Ramirez. I hope our scouts have been busy.
  11. David Bates is only 25. Yours for £100k. Although i'm sure we can give you more than that if necessary.
  12. He's gone before the next election. They'll want the next one to have not been in long enough to take the blame for the government's record. Probably after next year's local elections.
  13. That's nice. But you seem to be suggesting that their research supports a political party's stated policy of encouraging marriage. It's not obvious that it does. Thanks for the tacit but clear admission that you don't understand what you're talking about.
  14. Do the authors of these papers deal with the question of whether single parenthood causes or exacerbates problems or whether it' s just a correlation? The American lists a whole number of covariables, like alcoholism, age, criminality that are more prevalent in unmarried couples and says that there's little evidence that Bush's marriage programs worked. She also recommends higher benefits for single parents. I assume you're on board with that? The British woman has a load of studies published, so i don't know where to start. But that quote just says that income doesn't fully account for difference in outcomes. If you could link to her specific study that would be great.
  15. Or alternatively "decent publicly owned housing stock" policy. This hasn't arisen because of bleeding heart liberals splashing cash on an over generous benefit system. It has arisen because of economically right wing dogma against public ownership.
  16. Predictions 4-2 the dons. At least one red card. At least 2 ridiculous dives. Multiple heads gone. Almost no competent defending.
  17. They only charge £3 if you ask for it the right way round.
  18. Substitute "Hacken" for "Galatasaray" and this covers us.
  19. He's going on the sex offenders register for grabbing Ramirez's testes. Allegedly
