  1. Which can't be drunk while watching the game, therefore cutting back on the sales of alcohol considerably.
  2. At the end of last season they were yes, but Hibs had got themselves into a terrible state. You really think Hamilton are going to be a bigger threat to us next year than Hibs would have been? Hamilton have a smaller budget than we do, Hibs would have a considerably larger one.
  3. As I always repeat when German prices are compared to our own... The reason their prices are so low is simply because they are allowed sell alcohol in the stadium. The majority of their match day income comes from the sale of alcohol, not from the ticket prices. Start selling pints with your pies here and ticket prices will drop dramatically. Won't happen though!
  4. Ross County have signed 8?!
  5. Hearts weren't as good as relegated according to many on here and many in the mainstream media. It was the common consensus at one point that they would stay up and catch us in the process. I'd rather have Dundee and Hamilton than Hearts -15 and Hibs yes. Not just that, Partick and Killie look weaker, as do County, St Johnstone and ICT,
  6. Hibs and Hearts have been replaced with Dundee and Hamilton. You seriously think the league's got stronger?
  7. Last year we couldn't even fill the bench on several occasions. The fact is we are a stronger team going into a weaker league. Really don't understand the panic.
  8. They're all relatively successful managers! I think they're not employed because they're getting on a bit?
  9. Do we currently get transplants from patients in other EU countries?
  10. They should bring KP back, but they won't. He's burned too many bridges with the blazers at the ECB, he will never play for England again, KP has a warts and all book coming out in September or so which apparently is going to blow English cricket wide open... Should be quite a read. Prior and Cook need dropped for the next test, probably Bell too, there's really no case not to drop them. Will be interesting to see if the selectors can make those big calls.
  11. What a hilarious collapse I think they're the worst test side in world cricket. This will be 10 tests without a win, remarkable stuff, Cook should have resigned after the whitewash in Australia, yet he's still there.
  12. From what I've seen - 180 minutes against two lower league teams - I don't think he's of the required standard, he's certainly not better than what we have. He looks slow and despite being very tall he lost several aerial battles against the big Albion Rovers striker and Andy Barrowman on Saturday. Obviously hard to make a judgement based on that, but he joined the club on the same day as Caldwell. Ross got a contract quickly and he still hasn't got one, and I can see why Tommy's unsure. On paper the game against Cowdenbeath tomorrow will be our toughest test yet. Would certainly play him in that and then make a decision. If he's still not going to be signed after 4 weeks training and 3 preseason games then we should cut him loose, no point taking him to England when we could be looking at alternatives IMO.
  13. Not surprised we aren't offering a contract to Mevlija yet. He certainly hasn't done enough in either of the friendlies to earn one.
  14. We will be there Getting an 8:45am train from Glasgow to Newcastle, then going to Whitley Bay to check in to the hotel and then quick taxi into Blyth.
  15. Clamped I think Thommo will feature against Motherwell on the opening day.
  16. Rory's won it, fantastic performance, led from the start. I think this lad could win 10 plus majors, he's got it all.
  17. Convoluted bureaucracy it may be, that's not a reason why they won't issue a statement. The fact that they would even have to consider it shows the uncertainty. No wonder the vast majority of business owners doesn't want independence, leaving the EU, even for a short period would be disastrous for businesses here.
  18. India all out for 342 second innings, they are 318 ahead. England need to reach 319 to win, if they did it would be one of the most impressive run chases in history. They probably won't though.
  19. Why won't the European Parliament release a statement categorically stating that an independent Scotland will automatically get into the EU? I will tell you why, because they don't know, no one knows. It's uncertain, just like most of the issues in an independent Scotland. The pound, the EU, pensions... I could go on. No wonder the Scottish nation can't wait to vote no.
  20. Get yourself back on PNB, not the same without you
  21. I was at that game, at least 3 other of the goals were down to him. 1 in particular seemed certain to be going out for a goal kick and he somehow cut it back for an open goal. In saying that, I'm not sure Thomas has it in him to be a first team player at this level. He has a contract to the end of the season though, he has until then to prove me, you and the rest of the doubters wrong. If he doesn't he will be released.
