  1. The principle is they will become better and richer and the gap opens up further. A solution to make our league more competitive is not to help Rangers and Celtic further.
  2. I object because of exactly who they are. Our league is a two horse race and all this does is widen the gap even further. So the proposal is a further 40 odd players blood themselves in the lower leagues to hopefully progress to the big team. They already hoover up kids because of who they are and their "popularity", it is common knowledge but unspoken of how they are limited to the number of kids they can have on their books so have shadow squads, parents none the wiser. They agreed on a SPFL 11-1 voting structure, investigate every option that presents itself to cut loose, bemoan wee teams in finals getting a half share of seats, whinge about TV rights and how they're kneecapped financially against other European teams. Scotland is their home but they'd relocate to Spain faster than a Post Office armed robber. If it is deemed that a Hearts, Hibs, Motherwell, Killie, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd colts entering lower leagues would enhance their first teams and therefore make the top league more competitive then I'm all for it at the expense of the OF. I'm sure the 100,000 regular attendee's from the rest of the clubs that make up 45% of the total OF (55k at Ibrox 25% and 65k at Parkhead 30%) are a sizable lobby group and fed up of their crap. Don't let any trickle down wealth bullshit con anyone, it has not worked in society evident by the wealth gap growing and poverty rampant. Fuck them and the bigoted boat they sailed up the Clyde in.
  3. To be fair Andy I touted Magliore to be a standout when he signed based on the Blackburn fans views and his reported pace. He’s been rank. Let’s be content even Fergie got half of his signing calls wrong at Man United.
  4. Premier league wages, on the back side of a pandemic when you’re a championship player? He’s gonna sit on his thumbs, look skyward and thank his lucky stars someone at FP was out their tits on crack in mid January.
  5. What the fuck are you talking about? Clap for someone who downed tools and like Vigurs. Even the most ironic of our fans wouldn’t revel in that.
  6. The official club press release on the day he signed is usually a good start.
  7. Livvy would potentially have to pay a transfer fee as he’s on contract till next summer.
  8. What about anything we’ve seen in the past or present made someone offer Lawless an 18 month deal? Alexander was just in the door on the 15th of January but I’m racking my brain on this one.
  9. Why Lamie wasn’t on top of him like a particularly contagious Chinese virus I don’t know
  10. Never knew that if you were sent to the stand and serving a ban you weren’t allowed into dressing room at half time. I is schooled
  11. Pretty gutting for the wee fella after all his years of service his last game was replaced after 7 mins injured away at Tannadice. Get we can’t applaud him as you normally would. It just seems a muted end to him time here and undeserving. I would I have given him the captaincy and have the players give him a guard of honour, the added bonus of Dec in the stand with a face like fizz would make it even more delicious.
  12. I wasn't planning on going next season but if that was the line up, I'd be in before the groundsman on a Saturday.
  13. I thought Hibs away, Jordan Rhodes for the buildup and game where we didn't look awful was worthy. Out of all of them, O'Donnell's is spectacular but I felt the keeper was culpable. Therefore, for his service to the club, his imminent leaving, the fact it was a rearranged game they played silly buggers with and the fact it was a total Dick Turpin act that night, Alan Campbell vs Killie (Rugby Park).
  14. We don't know much about a players attitude or commitment, we guess from what we perceive for 2 hours on game day or social media coverage. We maybe don't understand a substitution or a formation change, but most of our knowledge of football is 20 outfield players chasing a ball in primary school on an ash park and of course the internet which naturally makes everyone an expert. We may question a certain players involvement on game day, however we didn't see them for the previous 5 days in training. We may guess what fee a player transfers for or specific contents of a contract, sometimes helped by helpful hints or a loose tongue. We think we can run the club better than those doing so, citing savings or overspends, however we don't know what soft promises or clauses are offered to players to secure their signature. Would the guarantee of income despite injury appeal to players in a "non-contact" sport and make them opt for us over a competitor club? Maybe even take a lesser salary from us because that safety net is part of the package? There's plenty of people who'll buy a telly for £600 from John Lewis because of they can collect today, the customer service and 5 year warranty. And an equal number who'll buy from an online retailer for £500, delivered 3 days later on a 1 year warranty because they'd rather have the £100 in their hippie. Every consider a footballer may be the same?
  15. Queue some roaster asking "Is Jim Gannon free?"
  16. BBC highlights on the website: Missed out Long's goal .... Decided to go with only the goals and missed penalty, nothing else. United's first, missed pen, their second, ......... Devante's net buster. Seems like a shocking oversight. Embarrassing. Can you imagine the seethe if they managed to do that for either of the OF.
  17. typo, it should be 10, otherwise its the same goal difference and then a countback of head of heads or goals scored. Regardless its not gonna happen. If we had some baws earlier this season they'd have been down in April.
  18. Hamilton are relegated unless they win by 19 goals ..... so Accies are relegated. If Killie win as you say and we beat County then they will face the playoff and potential relegation if they fail in that. If we get three points we can only finish 7th
  19. I know Australia is approx 10 hours ahead, but you're 2 hours behind here
  20. Confirms it in the video description
