  1. Taiwan and Hong Kong are great examples as to why this shouldnt ever happen.
  2. The Barca Kappa strips were belters, only thing is they were kinda mesh or something and pulled really easily. Queens park have Under Armour kits and i love that brand.
  3. Well they fall in the highland league boundaries so they should apply there. Want to run a senior team in the North of Scotland? Go to the highlands.
  4. Great point about the east, one of their leagues is 8 teams next season, purely to appeal to the local games for local people types who seem to be so strongly resistant to change. I dont think its 2 years off, I believe this agm will have caused a few of the more progressive clubs to waken up.
  5. Yeh, look stuff like that could be the difference between a player signing or not, if I had club a with a great set up and decent facilities vs club b with not as good and both clubs offering similar money I know who the majority of players would sign for..
  6. Are these lightbulbs energy saving and what is being done to keep the place Carbon neutral?
  7. Thats what to say if the tv licensing folks come round Don’t tell TJ you’re licensed even if it is for TV or he’ll get annoyed. Do they have a bidets? Darvel doesnt seem to have them.
  8. They’d be able to pull 10-20k no problem.
  9. Theres this one guy looks a little like you minus the beard and hair who just wont stop eating donuts.
  10. Have they got a fully stocked bar and dart board? Do they have a bidet?
  11. I was promoted to management over a year ago, welfare being basically my biggest focus, getting folks leave approved, ensuring they get the training or lateral moves they ask for, bringing new staff up to speed. Very rarely do I take time off them if they need away suddenly (you can accrue hours in my office), instead so long as they are all caught up I let them go and do my best to boost morale etc. But f**k me managing people is an absolute clusterfuck, lazy people who moan about staying an extra 15 minutes to finish off a report that they sat on their arse all day knowing they had to do, asking for paid overtime when they got away 30 mins early every day for the last week etc. Then you get people who are capable of doing their job but do it really half arsed and wonder why they don’t get moves etc and come and whine to you about being passed over for a move, then being professional and giving constructive feedback or take the time to build a work plan or organise training/secondments and they either fail to take on the learning or go and act like a fanny on secondment leading to the other department saying ‘ thank fcuk we passed him over’. That said I’ve got lots of really ambitious and keen folk on my team who make putting up with the above absolutely worth it, managed to help mentor one in particular towards a really good promotion opportunity which they’ve taken. Sometimes its like being a primary school teacher with the office politics but when you help make someone better at their job or do something to make work/life balance better and they appreciate it then its worth it.
  12. I think another few months of bullshit will see some of the more progressive clubs take matters into their own hands. Especially if the attitudes of Robertson etc maintain.
  13. I didnt realise that you could make your computer work faster by hitting ctrl + alt + the up arrow button!
  14. Are Kelme the mob who did the real madrid shirts 20 years ago? Thats a blast from the past, shirt looks good. Bankies top is an absolute cracker.
  15. Someone connected to ayrshire Junior football being active on a rangers forum? Knock me over with a feather. However those dressing rooms look superb, little touches like that help attract players and send out a professional message, good luck to them.
  16. Walking about London today the atmosphere was amazing, so many baseball fans. I think London could quite easily actually sustain an MLB team.
  17. Anyone else predicting a breakaway league...?
  18. Thats no a dafty thats a prime candidate for radicalisation.
  19. Ive got absolutely no clue. I think the board believed the west entering the pyramid would happen at the end of the season and went along with it. Im not on the board so have no idea about the thought process or internal discussions and with the greatest respect probably wouldnt discuss it openly if I had been. There is an agm coming up and it may become clearer what the next steps are going to be. On one hand the compulsive in me would have preferred we just went to the east and on the other I worry that financially we may have struggled. Regardless Holm Park should be able to achieve licensing in the coming season and that should make things more positive.
  20. I stopped going to Cineworld because it was a bit of a shitehole cinema. I’ll go back if it means id never run into wings or clerkin.
  21. What Talbot does is of absolutely no influence to Clydebank fans. With the greatest respect to Talbot for the great set up they have and their history, however we wouldnt need to have any one ‘lead the way’ in terms of our ambition, probably in the same way that Talbot wouldn’t care what Clydebank did.
