Are there different shades of independence?

Maybe the watching of the player, reports from his club and the like has all been done and the training session is to see if the player and squad is a 'fit'. Dunno, just a thought. It can't be decided on a player just rocking up at a training session, can it? Mind you, if that is the case I might trot along.

Thought the head tennis in the first half was quite good. But swirling wind with gusts should really have seen more long, hopeful balls. All in all maybe peak Forfar.

Well, nothing screams "integrity" like telling a fitba forum about the direction of travel of an academic institution, right enough.

When that idiot of a Defence Secretary, Shapps, said 'watch this space' when talking about the Houthi, you could tell he was just absolutely loving the idea. He won't be the only one in government with this mind-set either. As Joseph Heller said, insanity is contagious. What a fucking country. Joseph Heller again: 'What is a country? A country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural. Englishmen are dying for England, Americans are dying for America, Germans are dying for Germany, Russians are dying for Russia. There are now fifty or sixty countries fighting in this war. Surely so many countries can't all be worth dying for."

Words Americans Try to Have Us Adopt thread for this pish.

We're not really getting all worked up about a wee kick-about wind down training session, are we?

The collective noun for trampolines rolling down the street during stormy weather is 'a tumbleweed'.

VAR clearly shows the ball didn't cross the line.

"This week's Star Man accolade belongs to a player making his second debut for the Loons." Now I remember why I stopped putting on a coupon.

If that's not enough time for any who don't want to rush in and make a quick decision, they'll have the remaining 17 months of his contract to decide .

I've not said he's bad, my point is that these are the players being brought in when we're in this mess.

When you're in the position of being close enough to hear the trapdoor to the HL squeaking and where every game is a fight for survival to sign a 'striker' who switches off and who often looks as if he'd be anywhere else coupled with an ex-Formartine lad reeks of going through the motions. The Club is just taking the piss now.

There's absolutely no need for that, anyway. Blessed are the sneeze makers.

But, but, but, it was only 6 months ago this was news "Forfar re-name stadium after entering into historic agreement with local construction company Forfar chairman Scott Murdie says his club's historic stadium renaming deal can help bolster their League Two promotion bid."

Ah, that old favourite. A cuppa tea, egg roll wi tomato sauce, and ... strawberries.

We should pick up 3 points on Saturday due to the 'Departing Director' bounce. *clutches at any available straws*.

Most overrated food has to be turkey. I'd say crab meat is underrated. Hot in linguine or spaghetti with cream or cold in a salad, it's excellent.

Not cheating, but highly insensitive if you didn't shower after disposing of the body after the 'accident'.

There's a TV advert for Wren kitchens and the voice-over is doing my head in. Turns out it's her. She must have a helluva good agent.

I'm all for youngsters proving their merit for inclusion in the team but with no disrespect to Dylan Lobban, if the Manager/Board honestly think chucking in young, lightweight loanees is going to save us, then we're in a worse state than I thought. Unless somebody at the Club comes out with a Statement explaining just wtf is going on then we have to accept the Board is resigned to just bumbling downwards to obscurity.
