    We lost this game last week as soon as they beat Thistle we were on a sticky wicket 17 league  games without a win play us next and as usual we oblige. 

    If I was a betting man my money would have been on 1-0 for Livi.  It's just us, we always lose to the team that gets relegated.

    The weakness of the assistant referees to get involved in helping the on field ref with key decisions in the game is baffling at times especially when the incident is clear and obvious and invariably directly in front of the assistant. It seems that all assistant referees only involvement is with ball leaving pitch and offsides. Given the latter is now VAR decided for goals it seems they receive a huge amount of cash for fcuk all. 
     

    Er, they are miked up and talk to one another all the time.  Just because they don't fanny about waving their wee flag doesn't mean they haven't contributed.

    should we not be happy that a robust system is in place to deal with rape complaints. 

    Seriously?  The system is as robust as a poppadum!  One accusation about the woman involved and the whole thing crumbles.

    Saville was never even charged with anything, never mind convicted.

    Only because he was "protected" by all sorts of establishment figures.  I doubt that there is anyone of my age that watched TOTP from the beginning that didn't think he was "dodgy old bastard" and shouldn't be surrounded by young girls.

    Not all shareholders are St Mirren supporters 

    And not all shareholders are keen on fan ownership.  Don't you think there are factions within SMISA as there is a thread running on who did what, and to whom, and who supports this and that and it's all so tedious.  I thought that when I retired I left behind petty office politics!

    The La Scala, I'm sure I attended a wedding above it when I was very young?

    I think you mean under the La Scala.  Next door to the cinema was the City Bakeries and if you walked through the shop you entered the tearoom.  There were stairs leading down and that was the Cafe Riche (a part of the City Bakeries), a very popular town centre venue for wedding receptions and funeral teas.  The bridal party and guests (and the mourners) all had to walk through the shop to get to the venue.

    You had to either get a moble bar in or do it yourself.  As my Grampa had 5 daughters the family did it themselves.  I was a waiter when still in Primary school.

     I'll, as usual, pass on the flu jag, no real need. 

    Is this another self diagnosis?  It makes you think why people bother training as doctors.  I worked with a chap who had attended Fettes, Edinburgh Uni and Oxford where he got a first.  He was as near to genius as anyone I have ever met - but if he ever went to the doctor he carried an armful of files detailing every doctor's comments and his own comments on his visits.  Afterwards he would spend his lunch hour at his desk correcting the diagnosis.  He sadly passed at a comparatively young age.   Be warned young man.  :spud5

  7. Just noticed a new Italian Seafood restaurant on Bridge St.  Il Pescatore - it has a chippie take away but it would appear to be a restaurant.  As yet it doesn't have online booking so you might be lucky.  Call 0141 611 0907.  If you do go can you post a review on here 'cos I like a good fish restaurant.  Ta.
