  1. It’s never been about getting more decisions right. That was obviously going to be the case. 
     
    It’s about breaking up the play, disrupting the beautiful game, taking away from celebrations & yes, a part of it is, moving controversy because it often doesn’t get it right. 


    Everything you claim about it breaking up the play already happened, celebrations held up cause of a flag already happened. Glad you can admit it gets it correct way more than a few stupid errors, so helping cut out mistakes and causing way less controversy. Most of which is down to more games being shown live than ever before and idiots not knowing the laws of the games and posting shit.

    Now away and enjoy a pint with elvis. [emoji14]
  2. From a financial standpoint it suits us that United are promoted as I understand the agreement reached regarding Declan Gallagher.
    “The towering defender has penned a two-year contract, joining from Premiership side St Mirren after an undisclosed future fee — understood to be conditional on United's promotion — was agreed with the Buddies.” 26 Jul 2023
     
    Depends on the amount, if its less than a finishing place or two at the season end then no. I'd rather a "diddy" club got promoted before them. [emoji6]


  3.  
    Taken in isolation, of course anybody who raises millions of pounds for charitable causes has done a good thing.  The fact is Saville's charitable causes was considered to be subterfuge for his criminal activities nullifies them, as they were purely for selfish gain.
    Firstly, Brand's innocent until proven guilty and as you have stated, these are merely allegations (I'm unsure why you have used quotation marks). Secondly, I find that the timing of them to to be suspicious and perhaps a way for the rich and powerful to discredit him. Julian Assange had sexual allegations levelled at him, which I also find suspicious. It means that folk tend to dismiss the good work done by these people as they're tainted by the nature of the allegations and therefore are immediately assumed to have a poor moral character.

    It's the timing of the allegations that's interesting. 


    So what were these criminal activities, as in your reckoning regarding brands innocence, Saville was never even charged with anything, never mind convicted.

    A lot of folk feel guilty for what has happened to them regarding sexual assaults and it takes then time to find the courage to go to the police to report the attacks.

    The me too movement (a very recent campaign) is there to give victims all the help they require.

    Brand even boasted on radio immediately after one claimed assualt.


    By the way, the earth isn't flat and the lizards aren't running the world.


  4. Also, with respect to the hospitality when we play the Old Firm, I noticed it had all gone on the day it was released, which I would suggest indicates we're not charging enough. Let's milk them for everything we can.


    I know of a couple of companies that sponsor our club and they always purchase the hospitality when two glasgow clubs are visiting. Possibly a perk in sponsoring.



  5. My apologies.
    Application made for funding to finance a build on Club land without the required club permission.
    Is that worse or better than a planning application?


    That's the grey area. [emoji6]

    I'd hate to think that the Kibble's intention was to get the funding then put our club under pressure to sell for the wellbeing of the application and its objectives.

    I have mentioned before. The land is no where big enough on its own for the planned intentions.
