Great to see any reduction. Sadly it’s only 9 fewer than last year. First time since 2013 we have seen a reduction. Wonder though if some deaths were attributed to covid? I believe per head of population we have some of the worst drug rates in Europe. We also have the highest rate of drug fatalities in Europe. Slovakia – a country the same size as Scotland, but with only 19 drug related deaths in 2017. Scotland’s figure in 2017 was 1187.

All of the above!

It was a miracle that Motherwell reached the top 6 and European football qualification. We were responsible for them achieving that goal. Our players bottled it at key games against them. That cost our club a lot of money. I do wonder whether our contracts for players are geared towards high basic salary with limited rewards for performance goals. It was criminal how poorly we performed last season in key season defining games in league and cup. Even this season, the players should surely have been rewarded for qualification from league cup. We should not have been eliminated against three part time teams operating on a fraction of our budget.

In my original post on the subject of multiple home ownership I did exclude landlords where the tenants are responsible for utility bills. I’m referring to rich b*****ds who own multiple homes that they don’t rent out.

Always a risk signing a player at 36. I’d imagine he is still on a decent salary.

Surely an easy way to receive the grant would be via a sign up process where in the questionnaire you are asked if you own multiple properties and weed them out that way? Failure to answer truthfully incurs a penalty of £1000. It just seems wrong that those multiple household owners benefit considerably when they probably don’t need it. Some will argue the cost of implementing such a system outweighs the savings and no doubt they are right, but it just seems morally wrong that these people with many homes gain a considerable advantage.

There are a number of communities in the UK that have been in place for many years and work really well off grid. Swampy has been part of one in Wales for decades. That lifestyle only suits hardcore environmentalists. A new option for those can afford to is known as Passive Housing which use very little energy to heat. A number of projects in the UK already including in Scotland including social housing associations. https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/passivhaus-what-you-need-know/ https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/plans-cleared-for-passivhaus-homes-in-fife https://passivhaustrust.org.uk/news/detail/?nId=947 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xy6eo16ymqkxmq/PHT_PH Benefits Summary_Full report_5.0_Double Page.pdf?dl=0

Were you into prostitution? Was this where you developed your porn scripts?

Am I correct in thinking that all people who have multiple homes in the UK that are not rented out will get £400 grant to help with the utility bills? Surely if you can afford to have more than one dwelling you can afford to pay your utility bills? Obviously this does not affect landlords where tenants are directly responsible for the utility bills. It just seems absurd that the mega rich who own multiple properties get multiple assistance. Surely that can’t be right?

Did you know it’s 56 years this Saturday since the England mens team won the WC? No doubt we will see some reruns of that game the night before this final. I’ve not watched a single minute of this tournament. I can’t see that changing on Sunday as I don’t even watch the news.

Now that you’ve finally admitted your problems I think it’s about time you changed your username to Kenny Rogers.

440ML or 568ML?

The reason for that is that in those days the only mic was in the main stand where the majority of Well supporters were housed. Fans from Paisley took over all the other parts of the ground with another 10000 locked outside. We were massive under Fergie. If only @Captain Sensible grandpa had not fallen out with the great man we would have had two stars above our club crest!

And these were still in the charts. They even have Motherwell colours.

His last word was probably “FCUK!”

At our first home game the following season we played Hearts and pumped them 6-2. That was the season they lost the league on goal difference.

And that’s why I said what I did as they are utter cnuts.

Don’t be surprised if Livi turn up in Paisley with their away kit.

When this thread gets to 2012 will it die?

I think it’s only right that St Mirren win the title, just so that we can get Tony Fitzpatrick in the press proclaiming that St Mirren are destined to be Champions League winners in the next few years.

Remember that Scott was invited to be part of the BoD after he initially invested in the club but was then kicked to side as Gilmour and co decided they wanted to sell the club without Scott and McGeogh. I would imagine there is no love lost between these two after that episode. The only way that Scott was going to get his investment back from the club was by the joint bid with SMISA.

f**k off?

Did he not work for RBS who were responsible for one of the largest financial crisis this country has ever experienced?

Reminds me of this guy.

They have amassed a total of 1 international goals between them in 29 appearances. Billy Dodds managed 7 in 26 appearances. How much would Billy Dodds be worth in todays English market?
