Aim Here

I'm sure he'll have Lodz of sympathy in his home country.

Mathematician Michael Atiyah has proved his last theorem.

Vine's career is actually somewhat impressive, in a quantity-over-quality way. He's actually played at something like 23 different clubs in his career, everyone from QPR down to Hartley Wintney, whatever that is, and including two spells of playing for 4 different clubs in the same calendar year, though obviously a lot of those are at the arse end of the English League pyramid these days.

114 years, ofc.

Allan's in the last half season of his contract so there's no point in Celtic loaning him out. Anyways, we need Morgan to provide a better rhyme for 'Horgan' in the 'That's Entertainment' song.

Another rule quibble - does the 'Shakespearean Hitler bonus' become negative for folks whose birth date is larger than their age? It's possible to pick an 18 year old who then goes and dies on their birthday on the 31st so that the bonus tally is 19-31=-12. Do people get penalised for that, or will you cap it at 0?

Just a couple of rule queries in order to get these things clarified beforehand. What is the situation regarding folks who die 12 hours either side of New Year? If someone in Australia dies at 11pm GMT on December 31st 2018, which is well into 2019 in Oz time, do they get counted for the 2018 or 2019 Dead Pool? Local time is 2019, but the 2019 competition hasn't technically started yet. Are these counted in one year or another , or is this some form of Dead Pool Limbo where nobody gets points? Or all-inclusive, where the person dies in both years? Also, regarding astronauts - if someone dies in outer space, how is their local time of death calculated? The obvious date would be the date and time of day at the corresponding point on the earth's surface if you project from the Earth's surface outwards to their place of death? I'm guessing that the probability of an astronaut in orbit dying within 12 hours of their birthday is very small but there have been space-based fatalities, and NASA has sent up a 77-year old John Glenn before.

No danger of that. Joey Barton was #28, which was posted in February. Since then, 10 months later, we're waiting on #19. At this rate, we're due to see the finish on Christmas Day 2020.

Hearts is already on the case, what with finding £2 million under the sofa every year, and with their fanbase apparently having been the result of a live action remake of 'The Boys from Brazil'...

To be fair, one of their fans did...

I'm not betting on Sevco making it to the 10th anniversary, never mind the 150th.

again i may be wrong but was the boy that launched rockstar games an abertay student? i would probably be better googling it! I suspect that David Jones, who created DMA, predates Abertay's days as a video game trade school (he was the guy behind the venerable Lemmings, remember) and the Houser Brothers are Americans and unlikely to have come over to study in the likes of Abertay. Maybe Jones studied something at Abertay that wasn't video games, though.

as saod i was very young last time i was up there so sure you are right. wasnt GTA mostly made in dundee? It was, then DMA was bought up and became Rockstar North and has since moved around various sites in Edinburgh - they were near the top of Leith Walk until a couple years back and are now neighbours with the Scottish Parliament.

is that from arthurs seat? last time i was up tgere i was a child so memory is hazy Far too close and low for Arthur's seat. If that's Calton Hill in the foreground, my guess is that it's the roof of that office building where they used to make Grand Theft Auto.

Levein likes his mindgames, and parking the bus in a must-win game is the very *last* thing an opposing team will expect. Tactical genius!

That, plus his taxi to hospital kept driving half a mile up the road while he was stood around on the pavement looking clueless.

If the rumours on .net are correct, he was shot in some drug gang thing shortly after he got out.

Easiest way would be transfermarkt - https://www.transfermarkt.com/stevie-mallan/leistungsdaten/spieler/331089 The answer is 4, two in the Europa League and one each vs Killie and St Mirren. (Edit: Actually 5; there was one in the Accies game that hasn't hit transfermarkt yet).

Regardless of what Tom Farmer says, Hibs as a company are about 115 years old. The papers of incorporation for the current Hibernian Football Club are from 1903, as you could easily find out from a simple visit to the Companies House Website. At first glance, I don't see any filings relating to liquidation or similar circa 1991. The incorporation filings can be found at https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC005323/filing-history?page=12 . Whereas the filing history of The Rangers Football Club Limited (formerly Sevco) begins on the 29th May 2012, as per https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC425159/filing-history?page=4. The links on the pages are to scanned versions of the documents that matter, which reside in Companies House. Those pretty much overrule anything that Walter Smith, Tom Farmer, Dave King, Craig Whyte, anyone on Pie and Bovril might want to say on the subject.

Has Neil Lennon ever had a bad word to say about any other manager? He's must have tribute to pretty much everyone in the Premiership by name by now, barring a couple of new faces he hasn't got round to yet.

From somewhere down south, I'm hearing rave reviews about some wee felly who just started as the number 7 for Aston Villa. He apparently played a blinder for them and seems to have had a hand in pretty much everything going on at their end of the highlight reel tonight. Maybe Celtic could put in a sneaky wee offer while the transfer window is still open.

One tenth. And we no doubt needed £50k three years ago more than we need £400k now.

Makes perfect sense, thanks to the economics of football. Because they have, by far, the largest income on pretty much all fronts (match attendances, merchandise, TV income and competition income), they can act like a normal business and try to make a profit for the owners. They're the one team in Scotland that won't make a significant rise in their income by buying better players. Celtic just needs players good enough to guarantee a league win and participation in the CL group stages - spending more in order to go further in the CL is a big, expensive gamble, and not likely to be worth it.

Which word there is misspelled?

The Sportsound commentator starts ranting about it being a 'complete disaster' as Livi manage to sneak a meaningless consolation goal against Celtic deep into injury time, before regaining his composure. How hard do they expect Celtic to win this season?
