there could be a case for the ground to be split into sections.
family stand - keep as is.
singing section - let the masses sing!
oap section - some nice comfy seats for the auld yins. A small electric current can be passed through the seats to make sure they're awake every 10 mins. They will need a larger number of toilets than the rest of the ground. Travel rugs can be hired.
moaning section - keep everyone who plan to moan in here. if budget allows then we could have a sound proof screen between the moaning section and the seats next to them. If the game isn't going well, punters can pay an extra fiver to get into the moaning section so they can let rip.
fighting section - charge more for this as we will need some to pay extra for police / stewarding / pr company to explain why we have a fighting section. Everyone in here has to fight someone - if the opposition can't send in some fighters, they have to fight each other. Would actually be better than the local majorettes, or some under 8 team playing penalty shoot outs that normally is papped as entertainment.
scran section - loads of food concessions concentrated around this area. the seat in front has a fold down table similar to the ones found on planes.
Booze section - seat service and a nice selection of beers and wine.
to be fair, if our players are buckling under the pressure of playing in front of 3,500 home fans in a fairly sterile environment, then they're in the wrong profession.
I'm no foreign diplomat, but i would say that the foreign policy when dealing with the middle east needs completely overhauled. ISIS would never be in a position of strength if blair and bush hadn't made the decisions they made. we armed the taliban to fight the soviets, armed iraq to fight iran. Maybe helping and working with the countries instead of keeping them destabilised and in conflict.
That doesn't help with the ISIS question though. Dunno, the country is a complete dogs dinner at the moment and isis running Iraq isn't really an option.
you may say salmond is a loser, but always remember he has achieved more in his life than you could ever dream of. You spend the majority of your life trawling a web site about a team you claim not to even support. Let's reassess who the loser is…..
Teams that operate on a tight budget can't keep making poor decisions as it ends up costing in the long run. So predictable McGowan and Harkins are doing well at Dundee. It's decisions from the top and a duff management team that mean we have to tighten our belt even more.
was it not sometime in the 1920s when southern ireland won independence? You've got a good memory shull;)
Scotland played really well base a few defensive flaps - good signs for the future!

and who could forget this outstanding piece of humanitarianism.
this is a good article on the source of some ISIS weapons plus some more info on what you touched on there. The West' foreign policy is a complete failure and it generates constant vacuums from arming the taliban v soviet union to arming sadam v iran to arming the rebels (including Isis) against al-assad less than a year ago. The people who are suffering as a result are not the west, they are the people on the ground in each affected country. It's something that badly needs reviewed.

i've never walked the whole west highland way, but have done loads of hill walking around the route and tyndrum, bridge of orchy, glen coe, kinlochleven , mamores forest area and glen nevis are some of my favourite areas. keep enjoying the scenery;)
Done a quick google search and this came up which shows the result of the private companies buying into housing stock. There war e2 ways from memory - companies approached individuals and offered incentives for them to opt in to the right to buy scheme on the basis that the property is passed on immediately. http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/private-landlords-seize-right-to-buy-homes/6526526.article
The lack or rent coming in on housing also slowed the volume of developments of affordable, social housing that we are currently experiencing. In the short term it freed up resources to improve social housing, but in the long term it has failed the very people it was meant to help.
they were two points. One about the legacy of taking subsidised housing and putting it into the private sector and the second was private companies snapping up council housing in the 80s.
