Ive told the cabinet they're brilliant, so maybe it's my fault. Maybe a few home truths need to be told in terms of whats required. Too many boiz oot there, nearly men. We nearly goat there. Come oan, weve all read the book eh politics. Ive read it for the last 35 year. Wear yer heart oan yer sleeve to go and win an election and hopefully theyll learn fae this the day. Hopefully they can bring it next time, we've goat a good record, hopefully we can go and pick up the votes. Itll no be easy, labour are no mugs yi know (lol), theyre no mugs, theyve goat players.

I take it you're not a fan of Man City's 18/19 away kit either?
Don't let that get in the way of your agenda, though.
Come and see for yourself.

It's all kicking off. Someone, somewhere, has fucked up royally.
The Prof has spotted that the info sent in about his course is all incorrect. The handbook sent in isn't the one he wrote. In addition, under "course textbook" is listed "None" when in fact the whole course is based on a book he wrote. He's raging. Utterly raging that such a monumental f**k-up happened. He wants to know who did this.
So I checked my course and a similar thing happened. Someone made a "handbook" that is 2 pages long, full of spelling mistakes. My actual handbook is 17 pages long. Of my 8 Learning Objectives, only 3 are listed.
Honestly, we're overrun by fuckwits.
We've requested that the submission be withdrawn immediately.
Not a Python course by any chance?

I once bought my sister-in-law a lush bathbomb set. Forgetting that she only had a walk in shower.
Weirdest gift i received- I was extremely drunk one night, got a taxi home and was talking so much pish on the way home. Before leaving the car, the driver handed me a book and said "I think you will find this very helpful". I just took the book without looking, went into the house and passed out. I was wakened up by my ex demanding to know why i had brought home a book in Scientology! I gave up the drink for 6 months after that!

First day back after summer at my sons old school. A parent finds a used needle in the grounds of the school, parents are shocked and fuming. One parent starts screaming at the headteacher. He kinda lost himself when he screamed "THIS IS GRANGEMOOTH. NOT A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, LIKE CROATIA"

Watching 90% of Celtics corners hitting the first man/side netting. Maybe Derek Adams has a point.

FWIW I didn’t think it was a handball. Player seemed to have his arms down by his side. But not a single Hamilton player appealed the decision, which I thought was strange.

Can see it on FTV. Accies and Falkirk fans at the corner flag fighting. Stewards seem to have sorted it now.

Given the way you've collectively had a cranial detachment over what is a bog standard method for selling away tickets one can only imagine the Heads Gone we'll see come 5pm tomorrow once you've lost

I think only Raith Rovers have brought more than 100. We don't even open the away stand for most of them.
Oh come on that's incredibly naïve. If you draw Rangers, Celtic (or anyone else who would more than fill the away end) at TFS in the Scottish Cup do you honestly believe FFC will sell the tickets to their support directly? Don't be daft. You'll give them their allocation and leave them to sort it out.
Sometimes you dont even need to open the home stand either.

Something I've always wondered when it comes to this scheme - how on earth were Rangers fans not able to do the same for their club back in 2012? I genuinely don't understand it. Their support, even at £1 a skull, could have dug the club out of turmoil yet it never happened. Is it possible that, with the vast majority of fans not being from Govan and only a certain percentage being even Glaswegian, that the support simply didn't have that deeply personal connection that only a hometown team can provide? I refuse to believe that they didn't/don't care about their club and it's something that's always puzzled me.
Most of their "fans" have never stepped inside Ibrox. They prefer to sit at home watching an illegal stream whilst wearing their fake Turkey tops. No chance were they ever going to put a penny into Scottish football.

I can probably clear that one up, given that it’s old news now. The story is false.
Sibbalds contract was up in the summer of 2017. He was 22, had just won player of the year and had seen the likes of McGrandles, Fulton, Wallace & Kingsley move on to better things. Not unreasonably, he wanted to do the same. But there was no interest in him from anywhere that he wanted to go. I think there was an offer from Sweden which didn't appeal and he went on trial at Luton, but no offer was made. Any buying club would have had to pay us compensation.
In the end his best option was to sign another contract at Falkirk. It was a one year deal with a one year option. That option lay with the club. He struggled at first in 17/18, as many of our players did, but he kicked on after Hartley arrived and finished the season as one of our better players.
In the summer of 2018 the club could have compelled him to stay another year, but he preferred to leave and Hartley didn’t want anyone at FFC who wasn't fully committed.
There were stories being made online at the time that the club had screwed up the paperwork and our option had lapsed. That wasn't true. The football admin person at the time was a close friend of mine and he vehemently denied it, and he was backed up by several directors and staff whom I spoke to afterwards.
He simply got an offer which gave him a chance to showcase his talents on a bigger stage. And undoubtedly for more money. He would have been a fool to refuse, even though he’s a genuine Falkirk fan. Eventually the day comes when you have to put your own interests first, just as Crunchie did when he signed for Chelsea.
I heard it was the councils fault and they took a share of his earnings from Livi

Is there something going on with Eck MacLeish? Don't want to speculate but is it a brain issue or alcohol or something?
