  1. In fairness this is a hole you dug yourself.

    All that anti Tory "what about the poor" stuff whilst admitting you accepted the tax gain they handed you and spent it on your grandkids.

    Its plastic socialism at its most hypocritical.

    Nobody blames you for being like the rest of us. It was funny at the time however to see you nailed like that.

    Of course nosferatu doesnt understand the concept of a joke. He thinks if a thing is funny once it will be funny twice a day for life.

    So look forward to him adding this to the list of:-

    "fat, lazy lonely lowly paid lecturer"

    "you spent all Christmas day posting on here"

    "how does ernie fund public debt"

    and the all time classic

    "summer football means we will be forced to play January to December".

    ^^^^ touched a raw nerve

  2. Yeah Lappin and Sutton would be fantastic additions. They might be getting on a bit, but I still think they would both do a job in this league.

    Would love to see Simo whip in a ball from the left and big Johnny get his napper on it to stick it in the pokey. Smells like 2006, smells like the league title.

    I think we scored ONE goal where Sutton headed in a Lappin cross in the space of the 18 months they played together.

  3. We're actually still in the season just now... Last Premiership games during the week, play off going on just now, cup final still to come.

    "summer football" would entail starting in January and finishing in December.

    You'd have the possibility of key end of season games, play offs, cup finals, etc, being postponed. You'd have the possibility of games at the start of the season being postponed. You'd miss out on games being played during Xmas and new year which traditionally draw big crowds.

    The idea is ridiculous.

    The clubs know it's ridiculous as well, hence why it'll never ever happen.

  4. The improvement in the likes of Webster, Shankland, Watson and Mallan has been remarkable since Rae came in.

    "Remarkable" is taking this a bit too far.

    As TC points out, we failed to win a single game out of 6 against the top 4 after Rae arrived, including 4 defeats.

    All we did was finished above the likes of Queen of the South, Dumbarton & Livingston! We still failed to finish above Morton and still finished in the bottom half of the Championship!

    All Rae did was make us slightly less worse than we were under Murray!

  5. This while thing sunk to a new low yesterday at Celtic Park. Just over a week ago the victims families confirmed they could never endorse moves to bring standing back to football ground. Yesterday, no doubt enticed by a free junket members of the justice for the 96 took to the pitch at Celtic Park to take the applause of the support in a move clearly designed by Celtic to gain some sort of endorsement for their retrograde attempt to reduce safety standards at football ground by installing 2700 "safe standing" spaces.

    I guess there's not many that could do crass in a more classless way

    Agree with you there Stuart.

  6. St. Johnstone did something similar with Stevie May.

    He did well on loan at Alloa but they still weren't convinced.

    Then, despite him only having a year on his contract left, they put on loan to Hamilton.

    This allowed them to decide whether he had a chance in the top flight. If he failed then no loss. If he succeeded (as he did) then they could offer him a contract knowing that if anyone else signed him then they'd be due a development fee.

    My guess is that Aberdeen may do something similar here.

    If he's a major success at St. Mirren next season then they can make a decision on offering him a new contract. If he's not then its St. Mirren who have paid his wages.

  7. Dundee United get docked 3 points for fielding a couple of ineligible players in one match while Rangers get docked NO points for fielding loads and loads of ineligible players over the course of a decade.

    mmmmmmm...

  8. Clubs living within their means eh... Boo!

    But St. Mirren were living within their means even with that bid.

    The bid was funded by raking in huge amounts of cash selling players.

    It was also in the days pre Bosman and when the gap in wages between the rich and poor, the gap between Scotland and England wasn't as great.

    St. Mirren broke the Scottish transfer record back in 1979 by outbidding Celtic both on the transfer fee and in wages.

    Unthinkable now - but nonetheless, we were still living within our means back then!
