  1. Leagues that aren’t listed there are the top ten nations by population (except Romania, which is listed), Norway, Sweden, Belarus and Portugal. Norway, Sweden and Belarus each have a 16 team division which by my calculations is 30 games. I think Norway and Sweden have both had a decent variety of winners, don’t know about Belarus. Their European coefficient is shite and they don’t get an EL place now. Portugal has 18 teams (34 games) and for a country twice the size of Scotland is no more competitive, basically a three way OF. Other similar ish countries that have a split are above and below us in the rankings, although I don’t think any are quite as uncompetitive. Evidence is limited but I’d say that there’s some suggestion that fewer games could improve competitiveness in terms of more winners, possibly, but could come at the expense of European places. Of course, none of the leagues above are starting from where we are. I’d guess that if we wanted a competitive title race we’d have to do something radical and way outside the bounds of currently plausible. Pissing about with numbers of teams won’t change the major weakness in Scottish football. Having said that, I don’t think it’s particularly broken. Sure it’s shite that it’s hard to win anything but the whole culture, spectacle and experience is very entertaining.
  2. I had an agency job there as a “hygiene technician” and one of the jobs they asked me to do was to clean the inside of those silos. You get suspended in a harness and scrape the sides. I politely declined that exciting development opportunity.
  3. Apparently they prefer appeals on a designated form submitted by email and we sent ours by gorilla gram.
  4. I stepped off a traffic island to cross a side street as a taxi started indicating to turn into it and kept walking. The c**t sped up and took the corner as tightly as possible so I had to jump to avoid getting hit. Them doing a hard stop might not be a worst case scenario.
  5. The hero has a climactic fight with the baddie and puts the baddie down. He then goes to the distressed damsel to comfort her but wait!… the baddie’s not dead, he was just unconscious and has now recovered! He’s standing over the hero covered in blood and away to shoot/ stab/ laser the goodies. But wait!….. suddenly the baddie collapses to reveal the hero’s mate who got put down earlier standing behind him with a smoking gun/ bloodied sword. phew.
  6. How is exploitation at odds with Tory values? don’t worry if you can’t answer, it’s a trick question.
  7. Presumably by means of the census being filled in by an idiot or a prankster.
  8. Scottish football forum new member. 2 posts. Gender thread and far right thread. One in defence of Farage fanboys. Haven’t read the gender contribution but I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that it’s not on the side of trans rights.
  9. Trade description act here. He's intact at the end, she just argues with him. No destruction was involved, sadly.
  10. 42/349 speak Welsh. One person works in agriculture or Fishing. There's one terraced house.
  11. Don't wear trousers in the house or you won't get the benefit of them when you go outside.
  12. There's a national shortage of auditors at the moment so it's unsurprising that no one wants to take on a high profile, difficult, wee job with shite records. It obviously isn't a great look for the party but it's also not any sort of condemnation.
  13. the desire for a member of the current first-team squad to die.
  14. I've watched that a few times now. "Lahk thev woon the weld coop" I am so embarrassed
  15. I have in my head, on the basis of very little fact, that Goodwin was responsible for all signings from England and the recruitment team for all the good ones. Probably unfair.
  16. Sometimes i think my life would be less stressful if i was the sort of person that planned more. Then i see the mess that anal retentives get into when reality disturbs the routine and realise it's a grass-is-greener scenario.
  17. Also, no real reason to have fixtures out on Monday morning. They'll be out.
  18. I’d guess they need to get the club’s input, Sky’s approval and probably run them past plod too. Add into that that many people will have had Sunday off and spent a significant amount of time sleeping, eating and going to the toilet since then, and I don’t think the whole 48 hours will have been fully utilised on this incredibly urgent and time critical emergency situation.
  19. Hopefully it’s more a case of him having input rather than taking on the whole task. But his recruitment is a complete unknown quantity
  20. Is Robson going to be looking at squad building for next season now or will we see how the next few games go? No need to jump the gun other than planning is there? doubt he’d be tempted to go for one of the other three prem jobs that are currently filled “until summer” because I reckon he’ll back himself to get ours.
  21. Enjoying the new series of Beavis and Butthead. Apparently my sense of humour hasn't advanced as much as my hairline or waistline over the last 30 years.
