There's a man that only shops from the the top peg at Slater's.

I think the problem is we do understand your jokes

Perhaps, but I suspect it's more about fans, players and managers (myself included) not understanding all the ins and out of the current rules. In particular the "excessive force", "out of control" and "handball" interpretations that crop up every week. EDIT: works better when I include the quote.

Presumably they thought it was worth a punt to have him available for our game. Even if the chances were slim to none. Although McInnes was claiming he didn't even think it was a yellow, he was maybe hoping there was some VAR get out clause.

Appeal denied. Vassell out for this game.

Last time I had an internal job change (in the same team) it took nearly 4 months for my employer to sort it out. If proper discussions didn't start until Monday (or even Sunday) a few days to negotiate and have lawyers draft and review contracts is nothing.

You can park on the pitch, although that might damage your tyres.

Which new manager do you think we could hire where we wouldn't have to "hope it works"? Negotiating a contract for any manager will involve them asking for things and the club deciding if they accept. It's hardly holding a gun to anyone's head when the club has other options and can easily say no.

If I had to choose between McGhee (first time) and McCall's style of play that led us to top 3 league finishes, or GA's long ball style in the 2nd half of last season, I'm in the McGhee/McCall camp. Likewise, if I had to choose between the first half of the season that Robinson was playing hoofball vs the 2nd half where he revamped our style with Hastie/Scott/Turnbull I'd choose the 2nd half of that season. Imagine if we tried to play the long ball game when we had Russell. Cooper and Coyne in the team? It's a strange phenomenon in Scottish football where people think your only options are to play a passing game and fail or play long balls and succeed. No wonder our game struggles to develop. Also, if you're expecting young talent to be developed by coaching them a long ball game, then there isn't much future for the academy. Kettlewell has stripped things down to basics due to circumstances and that is understandable. Even then he's talked about adding layers to it once the team has found a bit more confidence. Horses for courses and all that, but if any new manager wants to play Livi-style hoofball permanently, they wont have me watching.

Looks like Killie are appealing Vassell's red card.

Certainly something other managers have remarked on in the past. The sooner we mathematically rule out relegation, the sooner we can start contract negotiations.

If you're talking about Declan Gallagher, I'd say it did because he often talked about how wrong it was, how it changed him, and showed some genuine remorse. I have the same thoughts about Martindale at Livi. On the other hand, if we're talking about Paul Quinn's conviction for assault and subsequent behaviour, but still making him captain, I'd say that was a terrible decision and - if you can be bothered to search my posts - one I complained about on multiple occasions. As I said earlier in the thread, there's politics and there's politics. I have good friends whose politics are very different from mine, but I have no good friends who are racist.

Would you be OK with someone who said they hate black people, would never have a Jew in the team and gays should be euthanised? If not, then you also have a line you think that shouldn't be crossed. The challenge for anyone is where to draw that line. We've set ourselves up as a club who serves the local community so it would be a bit incongruous if we hired a manager who was opposed to the causes and people we support.

You'd have to be a total maddie to think they'll be no jokes about his name....... Ah, got it - the implication was that I missed the dead wean joke. I thought the implication was I didn't get the joke in the kettle posts. Not sure if that's a whoosh or just a confused old man, but I'll take it as a whoosh BECAUSE I'M NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE WRITING ALL MY POSTS IN CAPITALS YET!!! LOL.

I feel like we should handicap clubs with plastic pitches. You either lay some turf or you start every season at -12 points. Entertainment will be lacking, but hopefully our recent wins will have us playing with a bit of confidence and on the front foot.

Looking at the highlights tonight, I think Spittal's goal is the first time I've ever seen the tactic of loading up the left side and hitting it long from the kick-off actually work.

Whoosh implies I missed something amusing. If someone satisfactorily explains the "joke" I'm ready to listen. I guarantee nobody can, because it is literally not funny. So have at it. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Agree. There's politicians and there's politicians. I'm happy to sit down with you and argue the toss about social housing policies or banking regulation and still have a pint and be friendly. There are some issues, however, where there isn't much room for nuance. I wouldn't, for example, want us to hire a racist.

Jokes are funny. This doesn't even rise to the level of pun. It's like someone has failed a word assocation test for "kettle" but keeps repeating it. Nobody felt the need to write "ham" every 4 words when Hammell was in charge, but "kettle" seems to have induced some sort of mass psychotic event. Maybe Derren Brown is recording a domestic appliance special I'm not aware of, otherwise I can only assume Russell Hobbs has paid some influencers to start posting on football sites. I'd rather watch Mrs Brown's Boys Kettle Special episode than see more random kettles on here. This is a serious matter that deserves serious consideration.

Beat Killie - Kettlewell gets the gig. Lose to Ross County - fans slate the Board for the Kettlewell appointment. Beat Rangers - Kettlewell retires.

I agree it's difficult to keep up with the rules, but in this case I'd guss it's because when a team scores they haven't been denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Whereas a stupid handball is still a stupid handball.

Jokes are fine. It's the random kettle references I'm happy to do without. It's about kettle time to put a kettle stop on the mention kettle.

I hope it's McCann purely on the basis that I don't want to read any more kettle references.

I imagine we fancied Jack Ross.

Jambonuses all round. Take your pick...
