I notice the St.J chairman saying the media today, that they can't afford to pay players to sit on the bench in case they might need them. Given we had expensive duds like Grainger, Harkins and Bahookie sitting on our bench last season, this will be the path we're most likely going down.

One of the main reasons that a sense of injustice prevails is that within councils they are cutting jobs and not replacing the staff. This inevitably leads to an increased workload whilst, at the same time, people have seen a decrease in their income due to a combination of pension contribution increases and rising inflation. I know I'm going to have to ask my staff to do more this year as we've lost three senior managers this year and are only replacing them with one staff member. This will inevitably lead to more work for me, which will filter down to my staff. My staff are young and enthusiastic and fantastic at their jobs. However, I find myself increasingly trying to shield them from potential "burn out" through physical exhaustion Even with my efforts to protect them, I can see that even they are struggling at times to deliver the quality of work that they're capable of. Also,my mate who works for land services, in another council,has seen similar changes, having lost three managers in the past few years, with no replacements. He is really good at what he does, but he's at the end of his tether regularly working 2 or 3 extra (unpaid) hours a day, just to keep up with the basic demands of the job. On the plus side we have a job, but it's very difficult to stay positive and deliver the best that you can, when there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

TBH I think the club are banking that the likes of Kelly and Naismith are going to get even better this year. Rather than paying an experienced pro to sit on the bench as cover, we will be relying on the likes of Yaqoub and Morgan (?) to step in as cover if injuries occur. Similarly, we'll be looking at younger players like Hughes to step in if McGinn or McLean are injured. I think we'll sign another forward and a right sided CH, who can cover at RB if needs be. I'd like to think they'd be players that are bit more experienced, but we'll get who we get. Maybe not ideal, but as we're going to continue to live within our means, we'll need to get used to it.

Another tit to add to ignore.

It had better not be. We need more than one signing.

But not about Kayal I'd wager.

Sadly too many people don't have the lying thick f**kwit on ignore. It is still highly amusing to see his obsession with us continuing a mere 19 years since SG put the fat dolt in his place.

Have been in Palma since Wednesday. Apartment has a huge secluded balcony plus jacuzzi. Meant that yesterday we chilled out all day and when we felt like a bite to eat we popped down to the tapas bar next to the apartment. Back upstairs for intermittent visits to the fridge for remarkably cheap beer and cava. Furthest you have tp walk for bars or restaurants is 15 minutes. Il corts d'ingles supermarket 5 minutes away. Don't think I"ll ever be able to stay in a hotel again. It has sky and free wi-fi too.

Scullion has been released.

It was Poz's design that was superb. Apologies for consuming too much cava, , cocktails and Mahou.

I had posted a lengthy reply from my jacuzzi in Palma, but it cut out. In essence, I thought the design was superb, and that tje club officials who okayyed the desgins should gtf or explain why they f**ked up so badly.

A pretty expensive watch though, and one, for whatever reasons,we rejected. However, as you say he could excel. Hopefully he'll be f**king shite.

Especially as we're so tight and don't ever pay good money for anyone. Well according to selected halfwits on here we don't.

Not any more. Seems the that her superiors have recognised that comparing your opponents to Nazis is the work of a person with sub-human intellect, who will stop at nothing to desperately seek attention. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-28106688

I think it must be compulsory for the JD designers to be on acid when designing our strips.

According to an interview with him in the media he was offered a contact at Oldham.

Booked in the 54th minute, then conceded two fouls just after that, and was subsequently replaced in the 63rd minute. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25074351 Anyway, Manchester City seem to rate him. Ability wise,I'd rather go on the views of the likes of his manager Patrick Vieira, than a couple of f**kwits from Oldham, who've seen him play a total of three and a bit games.

Apparently McCall, McNamara, McInnes are all pathetic too in your eyes.

To be fair, even the most seasoned Samaritan's worker would be tempted to tell them to GTF.

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Teams/EDS/Defenders/Ellis-Plummer Info on the link suggests he's brilliant in both roles.

Let me guess. I'll wager that he hasn't admitted that he's wrong, yet again.

That should boost the number of people thinking of attending.

Not content with staging an event that allows guns to be put into children's hands and treating war as some sort of circus, they've managed to ignore the rules on non-politicising of the armed forces. Desperate times indeed for the unionists. http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/referendum-news/westminster-propaganda-war-to-encourage-armed-forces-to-vote-no.24607959

He'll be away for a lie down, after over extending his intellectual capacity.
