So I’ve jst seen on the bbc site that today was the annual Mascot race off at Hamilton race course it appears that for the second year in succession the event was won by Dougie Doonhammer who pertains to be a dog so fair do’s possibility faster than a Panda but here are my problems..... 1- How the fxxk can you get beaten by Kingsley 2- Did the bbc use the picture from last seasons race - or if not why did we look like a second rate outfit with our mascot wearing last seasons kit? i demand answers - I blame Stubbs and his rotten recruitment policy we the fans deserve better this post has been written in jest to cheer me up on a gloomy Friday evening ( before I’ve had a beer ) as I fear the worst for tomorrow i know what team il be putting first for a home win on my coupon!

As someone who has coached kids in England for over 25 years I find your question really interesting and I can tell you there is no simple answer anyone who has played the game to any standard will know who the ‘good’ players are! in my experience I’ve had kids both sign professionally for Liverpool and Everton and the interesting thing is they both came from crops of good teams but were perhaps not the ones who instantly stood out as the superstars but what did make them stand out was there ability to listen - do extra on the training ground and work incredibly hard in every session taking on board advice offered this isn’t always something the ‘more talented ‘ players did however recentjy a lad who was the laziest in training and on the pitch but bagged goals for fun started the NPL scholarship scheme for Warrington Town and has destroyed the league - do a move to league club will be in the offing as fans what we don’t see is the effort the players put in day in day out in training and around the club- everyone is a critic and think we can spot a player without knowing perhaps the tactics or tactical constraints the manager has asked of them to be fair to any individual I say four games gives every player to either do enough to justify their position in the team but if it’s blinding obvious that the player on the pitch is useless the manager needs to act immediately i refer you to Ali Dia who managed to convince then Southampton manager Graeme Souness he was cousin of then world player of year George Weah ( sound familiar !!?) who was sent on as a sub and subbed off 24 mins later when it was clearly apparently he was miles out of his depth !

I travelled up from Warrington for the Friday concert of The Last Mile it was a well organised event and it didn’t rain and the crowd were in good voice the band were supported by Donny Munro who played some nicely arranged stripped back Runrig songs as well as his own material Runrig came on at half 7 and played solid for over three hours and just finished with Hearts of golden glory as we exited the area to make the dah ack to Stirling station for the last train to anyone who is going tonight- you will have a wonderful time leave plenty of time at the end if traveling by train

I just read that Muhammad Ali once fought at Paisley Ice rink in an exhibition match vs Jimmy Ellis in an exhibition match apparently he was boo’d by an unimpressed crowd are their local historians who know anything about this?

I refer to my post back in 2015

When will they be released? who do you want and where? as always on an annual basis I’d love a n/w of England tour games v Tranmere / Chester and Southport although id settle for a trip to Sunderland!

Wonderful scenes well done to the organisers and everyone who took part Any estimates on the numbers who got involved?

Get the new strips on sale and capitalise on the feel good factor!!!

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we were a club with just a touch more foresight and business acumen Even though we are heading for the Premier League we still sometimes operate like a small outfit in the commercial sense Rea confirmed on another thread that when the Astro pitch was laid at Ralston there was no contingency plan to allow for depreciation or money put aside each year to pay for the re laying of the pitch at the end of its life span - instead the begging bowl is handed out to the fans via the Smisa monthly spend. just supposing in January someone in the boardroom had the foresight to think ‘we might actually get promoted!’ and in response to thought - let’s get next seasons strips signed off and into production! the fans will be coming through the turnstiles in their thousands and many of them will want to get their hands on the latest / next season replica kit. can you imagine how many units could have been shifted? Perhaps any remaining this season kit could have been sold at half price further boosting the coffers with a bit of imaginative foresight a season ticket / new kit package could have been competitively prized to further tempt the punters But alas I go on holiday in July and I’m sure the prospect of me wearing the kit of our newly promoted hero’s is thin ( unlike my waist!)

I’ve just purchased arabzone all you got to do is download the VPN app i use turboVpn fro apple store once diwnloaded - just click on a country then go back on the arabzone site When it comes to option to pay use pay pal Arab zone then emails you link to the game everyone at the game please make some noise to liven up the atmosphere I’m my front room in Warrington!! COYS

I’m confused surely when the club make a capital investment like the purchase of an all weather facility they factor in the depreciation cost and the cost to replace it ? without knowing the details of how Ralston is funded or the associated cost for community groups - is there not a fund built into the finances of the organisation that already have covered this? i can’t believe any business model would be short sighted to have not considered the long term implications of this my gut feeling is although the replacement of a 4g pitch is important- it should not be at the cost to the fans ?

This game has 4-0 Saints all over it that combined with a Morton draw and its party time

Was at Belle and Sebastian on triple A on March 12 at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester I’ve been privalaged to see most of their Manchester gigs since 1996 but enjoyed seeing them in this venue with its excellent acoustics ( home to the Halle orchestra) saw Embrace at Manchester Ritz on Saturday- they were excellent- the smaller venue suited the intimacy of the gig - some good new stuff alongside some epic classics Next up Pele / Ian Prowse in Chester on Thursday night - full band playing Sport of Kings and other Pele /Amsterdam classics its in Alexander’s Chester a smaller venue so expecting a big sound in an intimate venue

As a regular to that region I suspect your mate spoke Catalan or risked being chased out of town in my earlier days of attempting speak basic level Spanish I was instantly corrected- cue use of translate to Catalan via Google

Is now the time to book my tickets for the Morton game ⚽️

Season 70/71 one game played one point amassed 14 th in the league Ayr were top after scudding someone 4-0 on the opening day of the season

For me his penalty save v United in the televised Friday night game was the moment I thought we can go on and win the league

The sooner the tv companies announce their schedules the better I’ve got a few free weekends and I’m desperate to pop up to Scotland and see the darling buds lift the trophy!

Thanks Shull ordered!

Does anyone have a spare copy of the program for the Dundee United game on 28th December this season i picked the halftime music which I’m sure you all remember and enjoyed! But there was no programs left to buy at the turnstiles I entered or would you suggest I contact the club?

I’ve picked up a bottle of the Lidl Glen Alba 25 year old sherry cask gets a good review on the respected Master of Malt site il be back with an objective review when I crack it open

I heard this too but I also heard the board may or may not have met last night to put out a statement saying Jack is leaving or jack is staying I hope that clears things up for anyone who is hard of understanding

Disciplined 2nd half - great kicking by laidlaw at key moments slight scare towards the end but a tidy well deserved confidence boosting win ahead of the Calcutta cup

Listening to the band Pele ahead of their 25 yr anniversary gig in Chester- anyone remember them!? had a legendary gig at King Tuts in ‘94!!
