  2. Sin Bin Betting Thread

    Posted

    Cheltenham Festival kicks off today. Of course horse racing isn't everybody's tasse de thé, but Cheltenham usually provides a great spectacle for racing fans with most of the country's (and Ireland's) top quality national hunt horses taking part.

    Tricky for punters though, short odds certainties don't always do the business on the day. No "tip-of-the-day" from me today, nothing leaps of the page.

    Any tips ?

    I worked there too.

    The industrial relations problems at Linwood were caused by both management and the unions whenever it suited them.

    IMO the biggest problem at Linwood was the product. Poorly designed cars, mainly low spec and rotten build quality. I couldn't understand anybody wanting to buy one.

  10. Should John Needham resign due to inappropriate comments?

    Perhaps the gripe should not be about his personal twatter account but his inability to control the club finances since he took charge of our club. 

    Has he not overseen the biggest annual financial loss since the 90s?

    Surely that is more concerning that liking some random tweet on the internet?
     

    One is a consequence of a business/ sport decision that could work in our favour. All business decisions are a gamble.

    The other is an idiotic, immature misjudgement that makes our chairman (and as a direct consequence, our club) appear petty and foolish. Having previously been reprimanded for a similar incident it is scarcely believable that he didn't learn his lesson. Our chairman has become a liability. 

  11. Should John Needham resign due to inappropriate comments?

    As St Mirren's chairman John Needham really needs to understand that anything remotely controversial that he posts on his social media accounts, no matter how flippant his intentions might be, will explode in his face. That is a huge negative against our club. Journalists are not our friends !! They are only interested in sensationalism and they will take every opportunity to print any shite that will heighten their profile and sell newspapers for their employers. And any scatterbrained social media posts critical of either of the OF will attract negative attention. Quite honestly I think this is a spectacular own goal by our chairman. Make that another spectacular own goal by him !! Surely he should have learned from the first one ??

    Yes, this is a potential resignation issue IMO.

    They'd picked up recently mate, only lost 1 from the previous 5 league games and Brighton, who I rate highly, have had a wee wobble.

    Ach, just thought at 7/2 they were worth a wee punt.

    :P

    Good on you. My post was intended to be positive and supportive. Just the choice I would have made myself. Useless unfortunately. Shit happens, eh ?

    Brave or foolish to be choosing West Ham.

    Credit to you for being brave.

    Or foolish.

    :D

  14. FORFUXSAKE REFEREE

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    Eddie Smith. 

    Celtic-supporting referee and brother-in-law of Phil O'Donnell. Awarded Celtic a direct free kick 20 yards out when the Celtic player (Nakamura ?) had blatantly been the offender. The Japanese player scored from the resultant kick and we were robbed 0-1.

    Smith was 100% a cheat that should never have been allowed to referee another football match. 

  16. Radio Stations

    Tomorrow may be my final day as a Radio 2 listener. TB doing SOTS between 6.00am and 8.00am and Liza Tarbuck in the evening are virtually all that's left on that station for me.

    Zoe Ball, FFS!!

    Scott Mills, a f*cking personality void.

    Has anybody got any suggestions for a radio station that might appeal to an aged, intolerant, commercial-hating moron like me ?

     

  24. We Buy Any Car

    in General Nonsense

    Posted

    Buying a brand new car that's a French or Italian marque is a first class demonstration of how to pish large amounts of money away on depreciation. Of course, If the car is white you may get a much better quality vehicle that will actually appreciate in value while you own it.

    :booty
