    Tidal Bay and guess the year wrong today. 8

    If you read the article it goes on to say the third biggest "active" derby, since the Dundee Derby, Ayrshire Derby, Renfrewshire Derby, Lanarkshire Derbies, etc aren't being played this year. Seems fair enough to me, even though I'd say our rivalry with Falkirk is bigger than any with Raith.

    Why? It says in the post that Chelsea lost 90.1 million - that will be well within the sustainability margins. For all Chelsea's crazy spending, they always manage to sell off academy graduates for decent money, and those players aren't amortised in the same way signings are so they make decent "profits" on them as far as the books go. Amortising the big spends over 7, 8 or even 9 years will also help and now the PL have banned that, nobody else can do it. The issue they'll have will be in a few years if they can't sell any more academy graduates or they can't recoup any of the fees they've laid out on the likes of Caicedo, Fernandez, etc.

    On the The Rest is Entertainment podcast he does with Marina Hyde (which is actually really good), he was saying that he wanted to do a show where you had the same people for a week so there would be more of a narrative to it but nobody thought it would be a good idea. Until Taskmaster. Then suddenly it was a great idea and so got commissioned.

    With that rumour and the one about Todd Boelly looking at an American basketball coach for Chelsea to have a "Ted Lasso effect", we could really be in for some banter years.

    A pleasing 10 for Thursday.

    It was so annoying that our early play - first ten minutes or so - was full of zip and passing and movement, but as soon as we didn't take advantage of that early pressure and Airdrie got back into it, we started looking long. Absolutely pointless "tactic" and played into their hands. At least on the plastic pitch at Starks we don't need to avoid any boggy or marshy areas but I worry what Raith will do to us, especially if we don't score first.

    8. Year and country.

    Easy Raith win. We looked dead on our feet at times tonight and so many of our better players were either out of form or feeling the effects of Friday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday. Benedictus might be back, Kane might be back, Ritchie-Hosler might start, but there isn't much from a Pars perspective to be positive about for Saturday. So your social media guy can get the crayons sharpened and you can all relax.

    It was a nice hit although it bounces up perfectly and was a bit of a swinger tbh. And it came from our free kick on half way that we wasted through a terrible Hamilton mishit, and woeful defending when we didn't ever look like winning the second ball. Too many players not at it today (McCann, Todd, Allan, Summers) and missing Kane massively. Glad I won't be at Stark's on Saturday now. Back to square one.

    Todd absolutely trying too hard. Not the only one btw. We need to calm the f**k down. Not sure about the red card. Initial thoughts were that a yellow was correct but we'll see how the footage looks later. We have resorted to aimless hoofs now after a promising start. Hope the confidence isn't that fragile that one goal turns us back to shit.

    We were well on top early doors but let Airdrie into it and it wasn't really a surprise that they scored. No surprise it was Todarov who scored either. Both teams looking to play football and it's a decent watch, apart from McCann jumping about 10 seconds too early for every header which is making me quietly seethe.
  13. Salvo Montalbano
    Airdrie win the toss and turn us around. Didn't work for Ayr... And we probably should be one up already!

    I know, and certainly their contributions would have counted towards whatever state pension iScotland meted out. Just keep hearing folk talk that way (including my own parents) who genuinely think that "their" money just gets put in a bank account somewhere for them to then take money out of monthly at a later date.

    That's not how pensions work...

    I know you don't need much seating but it would have been nice if the first row was raised up a bit so you could sit there and have a decent view.

    I was much the same last year with Florence Pugh? Never heard of her but she was in a film and that meant every second post was about her. This week I've had lots of Sweeney but also some guy from Saturday Night Live who I'm expected to know despite that show and a lot of American stand up in general being utterly shite.

    Haven't three of his four wives been Muslim, including one of Palestinian heritage?

    Another one I thought had died years ago.

    Monarchy shite wrong again. 9.

    Get this thread locked until after the Airdrie game please. We have an important game first and it means less chance of the thread descending into Morton v Falkirk levels of shite posts.
  23. Salvo Montalbano
    Didn't see the game live and have no skin in the game whatsoever, but IMO the Celtic penalty was a nonsense (their player not only instigated the contact, but changed direction to do so), the red card was in the "seen them given sometimes and not other times" category but was correct, the Hearts penalty was a nonsense but the correct decision under the current laws and guidance. Certainly nothing worth the Rodgers meltdown but I get it that he's deflecting from his teams current malaise and his own underperformance as a coach.

    As long as its a cracking own goal like that trialist did when Airdrie played us a few years back. Think it was Airdrie anyway? Trialist came on, got announced as a trialist on the tannoy, scored a brilliant OG, got announced again ad a trialist on the tannoy, all within about 5 minutes. Quality cameo.

    Tough game in store as always but I think we look better playing the 4-2-3-1 and obviously having Todd fit makes a massive difference to how we play. Assuming everyone got through today unscathed I think we go with the same team, possibly Jakubiak for McCann although Lewis had his best game for a while, especially in the first half. Good to have options at last. Not sure if I'll make it or not but hopefully I can get along and we can keep this mini run going.
