Very true. It's not really an "either/or".

Yes, that's poor, but anyone who has seen us play this season wouldn't actually be surprised. It was probably originally drafted as "the difference between a narrow loss and an embarrassing defeat".

My wife does this, sad to say. Her car has "Eco Stop/Start", so when she brakes and stops at the lights the engine turns off. If she lifts her foot off the brake, the engine starts again which she doesn't like, so she keeps her foot on the brake. On the rare occasions I drive it, I turn off the Eco feature before setting off. If I forget, I flick on the park brake and just let the engine start again. As Humza Yousaf would say, f**k the Greens!

How much did Aaron Chapman's ticket cost him?

A Google image search might not be the most valid approach, but he doesn't seem to wear that blue kippah (or any kippah) much, except when he's launching himself headfirst into a crowd of pro-Palestinian demonstrators. I wonder how outraged he'd have been with the Met if the copper had just let him go, and he'd subsequently had his head kicked in.

Paging @Don Diego De la Vega to the semi-final thread. PS Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass

Now THAT'S more like it...

Definitely not to scale, though, it's like they've just squeezed him into the last remaining space like a fucking Smurf or something.

It's pedantry on my part perhaps, but that's the first and only use of the "season-long" qualifier there.

I look forward to watching Brodie Spencer and Mika Biereth play against Aberdeen next week. No, wait...

Is that your prediction for the second half?

How did this absolute fucking gang ever make top six? (And I’m not talking about Dundee.)

Hmm. Living in London in the 80s I went to Stamford Bridge a couple of times. Was stood in the Shed wen they beat Kevin Keegan's Newcastle 4-0, which was funny. However, I also stood in the Shed to watch them play Rangers in a friendly, and they were a bit too friendly, if you catch my drift. Pringle-wearing currants.

I have never hoped so much for a Dundee victory, and I suspect I never will again.

The clearance was also Shane Blaney. By "clearance" I mean "inch perfect defence-splitting pass". Luckily for us, the chance fell to Snake Cadden, who fucked it up with his usual aplomb.

County are only 10 points behind with 6 games to play. They could lose to Rangers tomorrow, we could win our next one, and they could still overhaul us. I'm not losing any sleep over that possibility. Not yet, anyway.

Still 5 games to go of course, but if Shaw scores that we'd be sitting 7th instead of 8th right now. It's hardly Top Six money, but how much is an extra place worth at the end of the season? Mind you, by that logic pretty much every last one of our players has cost us a point or three somewhere along the line this season.

Well done, and you're welcome! Now, do everyone a favour and take 5th place from St Mirren, preferably with the last kick of the ball on the last day of the season.

"Right to Buy" has been a contentious subject for the Labour party in England for some time. (It was ended in Scotland in 2016.) The sum involved here is relatively trivial, and it will probably turn out that no rules/laws have actually been broken. However, one aim is to try to paint Rayner as a hypocrite for taking advantage of the scheme to make money, while supporting policies which would prevent anyone else being able to do the same. The longer this dominates the news, the less attention there is on nonsense like Rwanda etc. It's desperate deflection tactics from a doomed party, but that's obviously all they've got.

Monorails are so last year, it's all crypto now: Billionaire twins invest in ninth-tier football club The freakiest thing there (and there are many freaky things) is that the club is called Real Bedford.

I don't normally mind Steelmen, but I've been avoiding it lately because it's going through one of its periodic phases of being dominated by a small number of people who seem to think they have to post every single thought that flits briefly across their minds, usually followed by "It's all about opinions" when anyone sensible points out that they're talking bollocks.

Well f**k me, that'll teach me to type first and look later!

Aye, only one likely winner, but I suspect the votes will be well distributed given the number of worthy contenders. Wouldn't be surprised to see Casey and Miller pick some up, and couldn't grudge Gent getting a few as well. If Liam Kelly gets anything >0 this season then the fix is in.

Ah, sorry mate. I don't often stray far from the actual football threads, but should have read back a bit before asking stupid questions.
