    being announced as a 6 figure fee

    Those with a knowledge of a Peep Show will recall Superhans' offer to Jez of a 5 figure sum for assisting in a bank robbery..."well, there's a decimal place after the first 3 figures". This sounds like one of those instances where it's 6 figures total, 4 figures actual.

    They just don't make them like Gowser anymore. A legend at the club that demanded standards and was there with us through thick and thin. We were there for him too, mind you. 

     

    He was there for us...apart from the evening matches when he was tagged. Not sure we'll ever have someone missing from the squad for the same reason again. Impossible not to love the mad b*****d.

    Looking forward to the derbies next season.

    Don't say things like that - you'll only encourage the Tractor Humpers to consider the games between us as a derby. 

     

    I am actually a little sad that there won't be any actual derbies next year because they're generally good fun and a solid money spinner but United being relegated is incredibly amusing.

    I'm a bit surprised that Covid is still being used in this way. I know it's sport and any respiratory issues will be curtains for their bid but in any other walk of life the guidance seems to be that even if you test positive you go about your business unless you feel ill and can't work.

    Exactly this - really don't understand the double-standards unless there are rules specific to Italy. I've got a colleague off work at the moment with COVID but there's not a chance that I'd voluntarily stick that brush up my nose again unless I absolutely had to!

    To give it a positive slant, with Charlie going off with a twinge on Saturday maybe it's not the worst timing.

    Also a good opportunity for Gowser to reacquaint LG29 with the best nightlife that Dundee has to offer.  Imagine the scenes when Jocky lays his eyes on him as he saunters back through the door at the Fairmuir...

    I'm just curious why you think football clubs are a special case and different to other employers. If the lad was a brickie he wouldn't be prevented from bricklaying even if there were females employed by the same company. Any measures taken are only going to effect the employee in question, it's not like anyone else at the club is having their routine upset or being prohibited from certain areas just because there's an employee with a criminal history.

    All employers have the option 'not to sign sex offenders', it doesn't necessarily mean it's the correct thing to do, or what's best for society as a whole. 

    No one pays (at least not that I'm aware of) or idolises bricklayers. Neither do they buy the shirts of the company that employs the bricklayer. Basically and in the nicest possible sense sense, no one really notices bricklayers and what they get up to in their private or working lives (other than the regular appearance of bricks being stuck together).
