My abiding memory of the flying pig was him chucking an aimless Steven Glass cross into his own net at Pittodrie with no-one within 20 yards. Fortunately, he stayed away from gambling and shady characters or it might have appeared suspicious. Anyway, who was worserest: Bossu or Macalamity?

Apologies to mo. I just saw the article again and he is clearly talking about hibs' lead. I don't know if that's right or not.

He might just have been out for a night out and felt rough? Anyway, the gap at the top of the league is 25 points, not 33. That's the gap between 1st and third. Nobody cares about this gap apart from sevconians. 25 is still shite but i don't think that it supports his wearapeepul point.

The SFA is already independent of the English one isn't it? A shining example of how well run the country could be. I don't think that politics should come into football chat but if you really must try to make a coherent point or you just sound like mcglashan.

This is Tango's big chance. I hope for his sake he gets it. I hope for our sake that his time spent touring European centres of excellence hasn't cured his ineptitude.

while I agree with the description, I don't think that the club itself looks like the worst offender on that evidence. What looks bad is the culture of that time and place where marrying a catholic is considered noteworthy. In particular, and on topic, what looks really bad is that rag considering it newsworthy. I get the impression from that piece that the orcs quoted genuinely thought that they were being all liberal and inclusive by not objecting to the marriage. I didn't grow up in an area where sectarianism was a problem and I can't remember articles like that in the P&j. That article has genuinely enlightened me and given me some idea of why the remnants of this attitude are so deeply entrenched among the dense and easily led. Thanks for posting.

There is much to criticise the dumb ned for but his geography is impeccable. Hamilton is in the Weeg.

if the tennant didn't come home you could

when did we last get a fee for an established player (ie: Not a promising youngster)? I think it was Foster at a reported £400k? going by that benchmark we should accept no less than 7 trillion pounds for Hayes.

I have never played football manager but I can't see what point you're making. we don't need to sell for shite money. Hayes signed a contract. I think he would honour it by not sulking if we turn down shite money. if we get offered slightly less shite money then that can go towards a replacement and soften the blow. Why should people not be disappointed?

Can I ask a favour please? I am intrigued to know what piffle the red tops are trying to pass off as news. I am not so intrigued as to make me prepared to contribute in any small way to their advertising revenue and ability to continue with their socially harmful businesses. My request is: Can people please post a precis of the story alongside (preferably instead of) a link? Thanks in advance.

None of these signing suggestions stand a chance of matching the levels of hilarity reached on the previous page by the phrase "beautiful, rural Westhill."

Agreed but I live in hope.

i would. He's a very poor man's Kenny Mclean.

McInnes has a solid record of taking in highly effective wide players so we'll be fine if Hayes and McGinn do go. or we might be in for 6 months of hoofball aimed at the big lad.

Hearts' manager is still in post. They only need a new patsy.

the publisher hints at how they have got the figures for English teams. I assume they use the same for Scottish teams. They use the figures in the accounts. Clearly these are estimates and not based on insider knowledge. Also the accounts are historical so any club not in a steady state (ie newco) won't be at all accurate. they use "intricate calculations" based on knowledge obtained from pfa surveys. there is a pfa document on their website showing average wages by year and division. I expect this is real. I guess that the intricate calculation I to work out average non-first team (and probably non-director wages using the historical pfa data. There should be enough variety in roles and geography that these will be on average pretty stable, with the exception of football management costs. using the published squads and previous periods staff numbers, apply rpi to average non first team salary (historical), times headcount, subtract from wages net of directors and social security and pensions, divide by first team squad size and voila. Average non first team and non-director salaries for the dons, from reverse engineering the above, is £13.7k. This is £1.12m for 82 people. Taking matchday staff and other part timers into account this seems actually quite likely. Two points to summarise: -I need to get out more - you can earn decent wedge for being shite at football

Put it in the honours list. Hearts would

bbc, 5 Nov: "Record turnover amid dons warning" The beeb managing to spin an entirely positive set of results and plans, expressed with a prudent and realistic disclaimer as somehow being mainly bad news. There might be significant challenges around raising £20-£25m for a stadium. That isn't a warning. It is pretty obvious to most sentient humans. Why not just say "Record turnover and profits again for Scotland's most successful* team" *European.

I am thinking of changing my international team. Any ideas? preferably someone who doesn't play in pink.

A former colleague, who had been a dons fan, switched in his mid-teens to c****c because he was "fed-up watching them lose". One Saturday evening, he came in without a coat in the depths of winter to show off his garish new away top and gloat about the doing Celtic had given us that day (I think this was during the Ebbe period). Fortunately, he had to hang up his top and change into his KP jacket, allowing me to soak it thoroughly and hang it neatly on a hanger in the walk in freezer until he finished, 5-6 hours later. He brought it through to the bar, in actual tears, and it was rigid. The moral of the story is: f**k Celtic.

hahaha. unless you count 4 yard sideways passes as brilliant moments, he didn't. I did find giving the vs to the tv cameras childishly amusing though. I did pretend to be outraged at the time, but I wasn't really.

So was Calvin Zola
