Who said "other than"?

Is that a serious question? If so. .. i truly don't understand it. Why would we NOT budget for a manager for the year?

I did use it... albeit for soft drinks as I was driving... but aren't they more profitable anyway? It was ideal for catching up with friends pre-match.

Can anyone explain the fixation with increased childcare provision and tell me how it will improve matters? Genuine question.

Depends on the "they". SIMSA is trying... but personally I feel a large investment in a temporary measure is a misuse of capital. Nobody is willing, it would seem, to say how much this venture cost. Pity... healthy discussion and debate works better with a free flow of information. THE BOARD, meantime, hasn't been open and informative. If office space is being built... who commissioned it and who is funding it? Is the vision for the generated income short medium or long term? Investment HAS to be targeted... especially when funds are limited. I'm just personally struggling to see the value of a sizeable (I guess... they won't say) investment in what might be a one-off venture.

Hmm... i love the way the referendum was NOT about him... and yet it was... so the personal opinion of the driving force behind the whole independence movement suddenly now doesn't matter.... except that every other opinion of his has been quoted ad nauseum this last week or two. Selective? Christ no... that's the domain of the bad BBC that caused the defeat in the referendum. We all accept that now.

Still answering questions with questions! You will no doubt know the answer to that already... but may I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply by the soothsayer Shull!

Why? Wasn't bad manners to ask me to contribute? Is there a reason you are behaving like a Labour politician?

Bad manners to answer a question with a question! Just curious.

Can I ask what the total outlay is for this?

One does ones best.

I didn't say you did bud. Read back. This whole subject arose because someone else did. We are unanimous in criticising Strachans thoughts on the lower league clubs. We seem to be unanimous in supporting his right to free thought and speech... even if he is wrong. We are unanimous in appreciating the improvement he has made in the Scotland team. This was once one of the very few happy threads on the forum... seems to have been reset to default misery!

So sorry... I didn't realise that comparing someone to Hitler and questioning what he said were one and the same!

FFS stop being fair and sensible... Make up an answer and swear by it, irrespective of factual content or level of ludicrousity! (made up word... you can do that on a forum)! Gordon Strachan is Hitler reincarnated and once the authorities find out, Scotland will be docked all their points. Boooooo GTF Strachan. Oh for the good old Burley days!!!!!

Totally agree that you are entitled to your opinion. Totally agree that he is entitled to his. Totally think that the use of the descriptive "dick" was a tad misplaced. Of course he was out of order with his thoughts about our lower league sides... laugh it off... it has absolutely no bearing on the incredible job he is doing as manager of our national side. Would you prefer Bertie back?

That is his opinion which he is entitled to. I was commenting on the job he is doing as Scotland manager... which is worthy of praise.

Utmost respect for the job he is doing . In Gord we trust. Very quick to give Stuart McColl credit for the set play that led to the goal. .. what a gentleman.

Hmmmmmmm... Different exchange rate overseas in Bute?

Was that the wish of every individual player or was that imposed to appease the fans who gave them a hard time when they last had a poppy on their shirts? I'm in favour of personal choice... is Celtic?

Errrrr... why not remember them with respect during the 2 minutes silence? Surely it can be personalised. That's the beauty of silence.I've been to many a funeral where a minister has prayed and asked people to recall their own personal memories in silence... Aside from one phone ring tone... interestingly enough Depeche Mode and Just Can't get Enough on a Celtic fans phone... I have never heard it abused or disrupted... not even by atheists. Likewise... at humanitarian funerals... even the Christians have been able to respectfully observe a silence.

Oft... i got a twinge there. Phwoooaaaaaaaaaaar. ;)

He signed the three strikers to learn from Thommo... who he didn't appoint as a coach!!!!Alanis Morissette could learn the TRUE definition of "ironic" here.

No they didn't. Thistle wanted the win more snd worked harder to achieve it. That is what hurts.

thanks for the warning! Mind you.... ... ... ... It might look better in Gaelic!

Time up. Should never have been appointed. And whilst we are at it... How long is Stewart Gilmour going to bask in the glory and safety of being "the man that saves Saints"? Just go Stewart. Thanks, and all that... but you are now asphyxiating our club with your apathy and inactivity which has now permeated every level!!! Go. Please.
