  2. Digitalism - Back to Haus More of a mini album really. No frills German House. Quality
  3. Massive job for a manager with zero transfer market experience. Hopefully he'll be well supported.
  4. I don't get it. They'll still be there when it gets light surely? And judging by the sky dish it's south facing ish?
  5. I think he's young enough for compo to be payable but we'd have to offer a deal and risk him accepting. Can't see anyone paying so we'd be stuck. Has he been that bad?
  6. Under contract next season (442) Roos (Lewis) McCrorie (Richardson) - McDonald-Stewart- McKenzie Duncan (Morris, Roberts) - Ramadani - Barron-Besuijen (Hayes) Miovski - Duk(Bavidge) McCrorie reportedly on way, Vinnie under option, presumably looking to sell Barron, interest in Miovski and Duk, Stewart shite, so could be. Roos (Lewis) Richardson - McDonald- vacancy- McKenzie Duncan (Morris, Roberts) - Ramadani - vacancy- Hayes Vacancy - Bavidge Loans ending: Gorter Pollock Scales Coulson Shinnie Clarkson Mislovic Markanday Try to get Shinnie and Scales permanently, Pollock and Clarkson for further year OOC Kennedy Watkins McLennan (i think he's still on loan) Campbell If we lose either or both Miovski or Duk, keep Watkins as cover. Thank you and good luck to the others. Hope our scouts are busy
  7. ^^ what they said. Didn't like the look of his cv when he signed. Looked like he'd had his chance but found his level. but it's looked more like he was a championship player who was just down on his luck than the league 2 standard player i'd feared. The fact it was Swindon didn't help. Keep them coming.
  8. A certain David Robertson was barefoot in Pizzaland in the late 80s/early 90s. I should have known then that he was a no righter.
  9. So cheaper tham lamb or premium steak mince but not budget mince. Going to try in a chilli.
  10. Tooted my horn at the three pickets at Companies House today. That’s my radical lefty activism for the week done.
  11. There was one of these under Johnson, can’t remember who it was now-some sort of Covid job I think, where the conclusions were identical but it was reported as the report exonerating the appointment because no actual conflict was found and the committee filled in the right forms. Can only conclude that any half decent spin doctors recognise the Tory party as a lost cause and have jumped ship.
  12. Those two for me too. Excession probably shades it.
  13. While still full of interesting ideas and quality prose, I’d say inversions was the book I enjoyed least out of his sci fi brand. Still better than most stuff by most other writers though. It reminded me in a lot of ways of one of the plot threads in The Bridge, the one with the castle.
  14. I dislike the idea of B teams playing against proper teams in general. The fact that it works elsewhere (if it does work, and isn’t just tolerated as the way it is) is kind of irrelevant. We have our own football culture and each club should have its best 11 on the pitch at their own level. I don’t see how this would benefit our younger or fringe players. Loans to other clubs put them in a better competitive environment. I don’t see how this benefits our finances. Currently, if we don’t have a, say, right centre back good enough and ready to step up from the youths we just don’t have an u25 Rcb in the squad. Now we’ll have to fork out for filler, potentially taking a player off a fourth or fifth tier proper club. I understand this was the clubs main issue previously. For LL or HL clubs trying to get into the league this arrangement sounds like purgatory. As far as pros go, watching the reserves used to be an occasional pleasure. More games to watch would be a plus. Also, Hearts would be bound to get relegated and have a legal tantrum again, which would be a laugh. On balance, it’s a big no from me.
  15. The one where he makes a sandwich on the bench is brilliant.
  16. In terms of numbers, probably some guy in China or India that we've barely heard of. I'll go for Rama.
  17. That’s a terrible metaphor. Surely the fox would have been hungry before going into the hen house? And now that it's in there it would have eaten the hens and would be full? Maybe it would have preferred the eggs actually. Nutritious and less likely to fight back. I don't like foxes. Sneaky wee fuckers.
  18. Agreed. Better standard of football plus valuable life lessons that they won't get from playing with their mates against another team of mollycoddled trainees.
  19. It's not just Old firm money though. From the dons point of view we'd potentially be voting to replace, say 7,000 away fans for top half games with less than a thousand and have probably an even bigger drop in home crowds as well as less telly money, catering, hospitality etc. and fewer games too. No way Dave's going to give up upwards of half a million a season so we can play in Dumfries and Ayr. Other clubs may rely more heavily on away gates, not all OF.
  20. This is true. But It shouldn’t lead you to conclude that everything he’s against is automatically without any fault. The first article does make some reasonable points that should be obvious. But, I don’t recognise their description of the current reality being that trans stuff is forced on kids. I also have no way of knowing how accurate their account is of the process and lack of support for kids who transition. If their description is accurate then it’s obviously a bad situation. This is where the ability to trust the source comes in. If there’s reason to doubt the veracity of the accounts then why should the conclusion be right? I have no prior knowledge of the publication but the emotive straw manning doesn’t ring true. The second one, presumably the first article about mental health, makes two major points: the original study was ideologically driven to incorrect findings; the original data shows no improvement in outcomes. I think the first point is pretty clear and hard to dispute and should be a big concern for anyone. Irrespective of the source. Their second point is a bizarre non sequitur. They run through a whole load of variables that aren’t included that should have been, adjust for only one measure and reach a conclusion. Using data that was too shit to reach a conclusion with. That’s disingenuous, and exactly what they’ve been complaining about. Tldr: there’s a genuinely worthwhile point in one of the articles.
  21. Couldn’t do that, the nearest tree was a plane.
