    As a younger fan who wasn't alive back then, how high does the Anglo-Scottish Cup rank in terms of achievement? Was it akin to that of winning the Scottish Challenge Cup, or was it more up there with the Scottish Cup successes?

    This is a pain in the arse.
    I’ve worked in both the retail and food industries, and seen things ranging from “The TV advert said the strawberries were £1” (a Tesco advert, she was in Asda) to someone saying “the chefs did it last time for me” when the same chefs work each day and know fine well they haven’t done it before.

    Exactly. It’s a pathetic excuse for a phrase.

    That just makes it even more satisfying 
    A good guess, but it actually comes from New Latin. De - (out of or away from). Fenestra (window or opening).
    The term originated in Prague in 1618, although there was a known incident in 1419 along similar lines. Oddly enough both incidents started wars. So my advice is if you want to avoid war, don’t throw people out of windows.

    Ah see, I think shite is a fantastic word too. When used in discussion, it gets straight to the point when discussing your feelings on a chosen subject.
    You remind me a little of religious mate of mine down this way. He’s not one for swear words, he won’t even say “poo”. The closest he’ll get to that is by using the word “excrement”.

    Aye wait a minute...
    Ricky likes telling everyone he goes to games. “Faraway” doesn’t go to many games. So this helps Ricky with ammunition to beef up the “I go to games, everyone should try it” while running along with this “Faraway” user to help prove his points.
    Ricky’s been rumbled!
    If Faraway was real he’d have called himself “Arbroath Saint” to be more specific. Most of us other faraways have all helpfully declared our locations.
    Clear and obvious now!

    Cornwall_Saint got a reaction from salmonbuddie in Alex Salmond Arrested and Charged   
    History is also littered with accusations made against innocent people.
    What these sexual assault claims do is destroy someone’s reputation regardless of innocence. Many have had their lives ruined, families broken apart and been labelled a “predator” for life because of false accusations, even when 100% clear and innocent.
    I could claim Salmond touched my cock in 2013, get him taken to court and obviously lose the case as it was nonsense. Some out there would genuinely believe it happened anyway. That’s the point of these false accusations - it tars these people for life even when fully innocent.
    I completely understand your point about the accusations thrown out for lack of evidence, when the assault happened, and I feel for every single victim of such a case. It must be horrific to see the person committing the assault walk free. What I’m saying is that for every case where a victim doesn’t see justice, there’s another case full of lies and deceit to try and destroy someone’s life and image.

    As it’s the first time I’ve gone down this route I’m acquiring help from a guy who’s an accountant. I know it was in the plans to meet up in the next few weeks to sort the figures out (that part itself will be easy enough as I need to take down total earnings before leasing costs anyway). As things draw nearer I will probably end up asking him about this, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer on the government websites for those who only became self employed in the past three years.

    That’s true but it was also at Darkheid so it had a higher chance of gaining coverage from the off.
    My concern though is that everyone still paying £30 to get in while protesting the price isn’t going to change anything, a near empty away end would have sent a larger message.

    In truth I would suggest it be better to boycott a game away to the bigots than an midweek away match to Livi.
    For a start, the media covers anything involving the green bigots and Sevco whereas the Livi v Saints match was barely noticeable. Sending in two guys with a large banner to cover the empty seats displaying a message on pricing would gain so much more coverage across the media. Boycotting the Livi match has had little effect, and wasn’t really going to. Do it on the biggest stage on the game and the campaign has a better chance of making headway.
    I do find it pointless that they’ve attended this game in numbers while protesting the price. As I said above, keep it to two guys just so they can display a large banner, it makes more sense and conveys a bigger protest. We need this campaign to gain ground but we need to hit the right places to do it - if there’s another boycott the best thing they can do is to do it at one of the bigotdomes.
