People who think 'class' is important or even exists generally aren't worth bothering with.
This should be on the things the middle classes do thread surely?
This is the thread for inadequates to look down their nose at the less fortunate/ jeremy kyle scumbags.

Are there any top-league clubs who haven't yet provoked an Ibrox #STATEMENT by flinging Rangers about like a wet tracksuit?
We've had a couple I can think of off the top of my head, Hibs - Naturellement...
Anyone else?
I don’t think our club has as such.
However, the personal seethe caused by McInnes was on behalf of and concomitant with the club.

Abbreviation for sandwich; it's two bits of bread with a non-bread filling.
Surprised you haven't heard of them to be honest.

Butter shouldn't be kept in the fridge - you can't spread it otherwise. Oh and 'spreadable butter' is for the lower classes.
I agree with you on yoghurt.
Butter is for cooking with and should be stored in the fridge. It spreads adequately on toast (if you are a pleb and don’t use a conserve) and shouldn’t be spread on cold bread at all. If you are making a sannie use mayonnaise.
I can’t believe people don’t know this.
on yoghurt, is it possible that the colleague was culturing his own and needed to maintain ambient temperature?

The Game by Ken Dryden
It's a shame a vast, vast majority of professional athletes are comparatively uneducated.
The vast majority of the world ‘s population is comparatively uneducated compared to people that are more educated than them.
Sport is a profession in which you are less likely to be held back by a lack of education.
You’re also less likely to do an Accounts degree or finish that HNC in hospitality if you already earn a 6, 7 or 8 figures in your early 20s.
So compared to professional writers (for example) they would be less educated.
My point is that, really, it’s a shame that so many educated people are unathletic.

Just looking at Aberdeen League Points stats since 3 points was introduced in the Scottish game from the season 1994-1995 (Hopefully correct info below).
36 games a season
1994-1995 - 41 points
1995-1996 - 55 points
1996-1997 - 44 points
1997-1998 - 39 points
1998-1999 - 37 points
1999-2000 - 33 points38 games a season
2000-2001 - 45 points
2001-2002 - 55 points
2002-2003 - 49 points
2003-2004 - 34 points
2004-2005 - 61 points
2005-2006 - 54 points

2011-2012 - 41 points
2012-2013 - 48 points
Derek McInnes
2013-2014 - 68 points
2014-2015 - 75 points
2015-2016 - 71 points
2016-2017 - 76 points
2017-2018 - 65 points (4 games still to be played)The reason I've done this stats is to wonder why minority of Aberdeen fans want McInnes out when in the 24 years apart from 2 season from Jimmy Calderwood we have got nowhere near the points total that Derek McInnes teams have achieved?
I suppose some arguments will be that for a few seasons it was a weaker league and many will be unhappy with our record against Rangers/Celtic in last few seasons. Some may also argue that the football this season hasn't been the level of the last 3 or 4 seasons. Others may also go on about only 1 trophy won since McInnes come in.
I've got a feeling this could be Derek McInnes last season in charge of us but I feel he has done a fantastic job and don't think there is anyone out there that can do a better job at present
Can't agree with your closing remarks. I think there probably is someone who could do better.
The chances of us finding and employing such a person are tiny though.
Interesting comparison with tangoman though. If i remember rightly he was sacked because of his shit cup record. Should we have stuck with him because he was our best manager (according to miniskirts) for 15 years?
I would stick with DM myself. 10 years ago a top four finish and two semis would have been a rare treat, not a disappointing season.

That's the point, how long do you think it takes to make a football club. They came up through the divisions and are now bobbing along in the top six. Along the way they've lost millions of pounds and although they've spent millions. they've no where compared to the **** , who in last 6 years have had no debt, made millions and spent millions and built a team on a good strong foundation. Properly run there's no reason why the **** shouldn't be able to compete for second place eventually. But I cant see them ever competing with the ****.
why is "dons" asterixed?

It was SFL division 3 they were admitted to, which they won and were duly promoted. The following season the SPL & SFL folded, the SPFL formed, and SFL league 2 became SPFL1 so they never played in League 2.

A new fans group has been set up. Only £90 to join. The more the merrier imo.
Follow Rangers SHAREHOLDERS LTD
The committee members are delighted to announce the launch of Follow Rangers Shareholders Ltd. We are a wholly independent, not for profit group aimed at increasing fan ownership in our shared love: Rangers FC.
Follow Rangers has several aims:
- To provide Rangers fans with a method of directly owning shares in Rangers.
- To challenge those who continually seek to undermine or to destabilise Rangers.
- To work alongside any groups or individuals who have a genuine desire to help Rangers FC succeed.
While we acknowledge and appreciate the hard work undertaken in the past by fan group volunteers, we believe there is a desire among Rangers fans for a wholly independent supporters' group which will stand up for them.
For further information on Follow Rangers, please see the following:
Web: http://www.followrangers.com/
The main man’s other company is called Broomloan systems. Looks like a genuine fan trying something constructive.
I hope i’m wrong and that watchdog in 18 months features tearful orcs trying to get their money back from a url in Uzbekistan.

I'm making my way through The Expanse series of books by James A. Corey. Just started book 4.
I watched the first 2 seasons of the TV show before I started reading the books, but i've overtaken where they are in that now.
They're really enjoyable and I hope the TV show gets the chance to go where the books have.
i've only read Caliban's War and don't know how typical it is, but it read like it was a hbo type serial in draft.
I didn't know there wad already a show so may have to have a watch now.

The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread

I think that the gist of the campaign is fair enough. They are saying that the football authorities should do more, not asking for new legislation or anything.
Sure the embra clubs are not as bad, but it's whataboutery to suggest there is no issue there, although Stokes leaving helped.
The legislation is awful. "perceived association to a religious group" is horrific lawmaking. I'm still not convinced that arseholery should be criminal.
I think that a proportionate effort from the football authorities reduces the need for the shite, OTT and hard to enforce legislation.
Being banned from a sporting venue seems a fairer and more constructive punishment for causing offence than jail.
