  1. Why dont the Dundee/ Angus teams just join the HFL.
  2. No they have a Chairwoman. Hearing from reliable sources that it will happen, however im hoping for LL2 so we can apply for that and escape the junior shit show.
  3. Just to clarify, Clydebank FC doesnt have a chairman. You’re entirely wrong. But also Clydebanks fans voted to join the EOSL and havent voted for any alternative. Im quite alarmed by the lack of any development and don’t particularly have any faith in the SJFA being able to do anything in time for next season. Id rather join the EOSL myself.
  4. You think it’ll pass on tuesday? Without any significant change? Im tempted.
  5. Thank you for that! I tried to google it and just got a lot of shite off twitter by way of an explanation. Sounds a bit stupid.
  6. Whats this ‘Bye felicia’ shite all the kids are hitting out with about?
  7. My reaction too, give them advice that sorta seems right but will f**k something up for them.
  8. I know its absolutely mental. I have a lot of contact with asylum seekers, ive met maybe 1/2 who were ripping the arse out of it but the hundreds of others were just grateful to have a safe place to sleep. The gratitude of these people despite the racism and hate they are exposed to just goes to show how bad their home really must be.
  9. Taking the ‘beautiful food’ in alky pubs further, I once had a colleague who when I asked for really good recommendations for an upmarket place to take the mrs for our anniversary suggested Tony Macaroni. I said ‘oh i think id maybe be more looking got a Michelin star type place’ and she asked ‘Is that a pub?’.
  10. Yes lots, also Facebook can provide ‘targeted posts’ to buyers which dont even resemble adverts.
  11. Either these are a new confection or my local shopkeeper is an international arms dealer.
  12. Yes, but these morons dont seem to understand that democracy is not a speak now or forever hold your peace type affair, its organic evolving and when material circumstances change we have to re-evaluate our decisions. Every single accepted model of decision making in the business/public sector world has some form of ‘re-evaluation in light of new information’ type part, this is because its normal and natural to be able to change your mind. If its undemocratic to re-run votes after we’ve already had them then lets just get the Whigs back because they won the first general election, it would be undemocratic to vote again. People in the UK who think that an advisory vote should be held as final even in light of the absolute economic clusterfuck that brexit is proving to be are utter moon howlers who shouldn’t actually be allowed to vote in the first place. Its like people’s minds have been taken over by lemmings. I know Tories are quite sadistic people in that they like the old BDSM and a bit of austerity but f**k me its absolutely astounding that anyone with a brain cell (who doesnt have a vested interest like JRM moving all his money) thinks Brexit is in any way positive. Utter whompercunt thinking and absolutely inexcusably stupid.
  13. Huge country, limited number of major league professional teams. The colleges represent the areas/states and its quite strong in places with no pro sports teams like Nebraska, Austin etc. My team UCF target the locals well, plus they have a huge alumni locally too. The college games are quite a good day/night out, tailgating, concerts etc, they sell it as an overall experience and most of them are family friendly. There are certain aspects of it we could learn from and others that just wouldnt catch on over here.
  14. My mrs works in the NHS and encounters names like La-a, Mason,Rocket and Destiny-Jesus all the time. Im not particularly bothered if you believe me and im familiar with the snopes article however i’ve no reason to doubt my mrs.
  15. And receiving a significantly reduced portion of that back, thats the key point.
  16. Yeh apparently the £60 seats are actually good value etc and some may be the vip padded types. We’ve set our limit at trying for the £60 tickets and if we dont get them we’ll spend the money we would spend going to london etc and just go to new york at some point. When you factor in the cost of everything there isnt a huge difference in cost going to a mets game in new york (if you get a decent deal, so in the virgin/ba sales maybe) and flying to london and paying £150 for tickets each.
  17. There categorically is a child in the Glasgow area with that name, my better half has met them.
  18. Fair enough hand luggage on the way out but I do too much shopping over there for no hold luggage.
  19. Nah there has to be a cut off somewhere and just because the juniors want to join the pyramid doesnt mean they have to get everything their own way. The logic behind the tay boundary is pretty solid, its a decent reference point and splits the country in two along pretty fair lines. Can’t have the highland league representing 1/5th of the countries population and think parity with a league representing 4/5ths of the population is reasonable in terms of promotion. Then you compare the number of clubs eligible for LL and HL and it reinforces it. Having the tayside clubs in the HL redresses the balance and makes the pyramid fairer. The clubs might not be happy at losing larger followed clubs as visitors but thems the breaks.
  20. I agree with pipe dreamer with the exception of the tayside clubs being in the LL catchment, no way should the highland league get parity with the LL unless they have the tayside clubs and north juniors involved. The Tay line for HL/LL definitely has to remain.
  21. Bob Malcolm had a bit of a heads gone on twitter earlier. Proper ‘Im not a racist but..’ stuff.
  22. For once, I kinda think you might be right. But if the brexit bill passes it’ll be a different fish of kettles.
  23. Agreed. The boys actions are absolutely shite, scum bag behaviour but he appears to be a product of his environment. Hopefully the deter strategy gets involved and this boy is helped to become a decent member of society. What is also scumbag behaviour is the lynch mob mentality of people on social media seeking to destroy this boys life for basically being an arsehole as a boy, do they think by posting all his personal details they’ll make the situation better? Madness. The wee refugee guy has obviously been through enough already, but dont see why everyone does a ‘go fund me’ for every victim. Id suggest just trying to encourage a world where people dont act like c***s is an infinitely better way to go.
