  1. Champion's league. Group E: Feyenoord, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Celtic Probably as good as they could expect. And it's been reported they gain an extra £2 million plus because sevco didn't make it. That should stick in the throat of the blue orcs.
  2. My guess? Two thirds right. Or. Perhaps that should be half right.
  3. Perhaps I should have done a fartaway and put an emoji at the end. Now I've said that, read my post again.
  4. I'm not into bookies so I may be entirely wrong but I think you might find that is at least partly to do with early betting by punters.
  5. Seriously? I think Lennon would do a great job. Make sure you share this!
  6. I'll get your last point out of the way. Why should anyone find it more tiresome to ensure the truth is always made clear when the lies are constantly spouted? I find it incredulous that anyone should continuously perpetuate the myth that rangers didn't become extinct. To get onto your other points. The analogy you make about coke and tesco etc is, IMHO, nonsense. They compete with product and price. In football there is NO competition without 2 teams o the park. The reason I brought up the prize money is due to the shareout which is far more generous %wise to the lower league teams than it is in Scotland where, as far as the two @rsecheeks are concerned, is geared up to overwhelmingly benefit the top teams two which, as it stands, (and previously when the "real" rangers were alive), is almost invariably the @rsecheeks. I suspect if that were to change they would be the first to claim unfairness.
  7. Point 1. There is no such thing as the "Old firm". You can thank me later. Point 2. We cannot compare the Scottish scene to England. They are on a different stratosphere though I do believe the profits from TV is shared to lower leagues at the expense of those Sky want to televise. This is akin to sharing profits made from their games. You have to remember that there are hardly any games televised from Ipox and porkheed. It's their away games that are televised meaning, due to this and their own fans behaviour at away grounds, it is more likely that people will watch from afar possibly affecting the smaller club's revenue. That's part of the reason for clubs basically giving up their home advantage to generate home revenue, IF the @rsecheeks are being honest about trying to make our league competitive then even giving a percentage of each game receipts would go some way to redressing the balance. Let's say each club gives 10% of the gate after expenses, to the team who have come to allow them to actually play the game. For clubs of similar size it would amount to almost the same thing as keeping their home gates. I'm not pretending this is the right way to go about it but there must be some way to cover travel costs and paying away staff for actually being there.
  8. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I can only assume you are attempting to interact with me Fartaway. You should, by now, be aware that I have no intention of reading what is likely to be inane ramblings and abuse. Hope this helps.
  9. New figures show the death rate of alcohol related cases is rising. It has been for most of the time since the introduction of MUP. This policy will NEVER stop those who really think they need their fix. All that will be happening is those who want to drink to excess will forego other things to do so which may well account for the increase in deaths. Even worse is those who depend on what little these people have may well suffer too. Education is a long process but it is the only way to reduce misuse. I think the likely cause of the latest increase in deaths is partly the aftermath of covid restrictions which gave more people more free time in solitude causing them to drink heavier and the fact that those on low incomes forfeited nourishment in favour of inebriation. The "do-gooders yet again want the majority to suffer financially in an attempt to pretend they're doing things to tackle something which, for most of us, is NOT a problem. We are going through one of the worst financial crises in many peoples lives and they want to further impoverish the normal working person. A one stop fix is impossible in this, as in many a situation. At the same time, those with deeper pockets will not even notice the difference in price, even if they have a problem,. More punishing the less well off unfairly. It's beyond ridiculous.
  10. It doesn't mean he's wrong though. This "christmas" was fecked by the avarice of two clubs in particular. For the life of me I can't see the logic in a team playing every second week without any income from the game. It's ridiculous.
  11. The away club don't benefit from the ticket sales so ther is no financial incentive for a smaller club to sell tickets.
  12. If VAR was used as it was meant to, ie, preventing CLEAR AND OBVIOUS mistakes, it would work ok. If it takes these idiots five minutes and thirty odd views to decide the ref got it wrong then it is NOT obvious the ref got it wrong,
  13. Absolutely gutted. Was that offside for what seemed a good goal even in the same phase of play? Why would VAR even mention a double touch for their penalty if it wasn't? Aberdeen will be carrying their point up the A9 in a swag bag. Why is it that VAR checks WTF they like? If they check our goal for offside missed by on field officials surely it would be consistent to check for a mistaken foul for their goal. All this apart an almost flawless performance by our outfield players. It's such a shame we were denied by a stupid mistake by our goalie and poor decisions by officials.
  14. Update on my previous post. Just heard that the owner of Chalk autos has apparently bought the Braehead Tavern and is in the process of refurbishing it. Good news for the village.
  15. Up until now it was the case but it looks like things have changed. About time if it has.
  16. Looks like it's going to be jumping both home and away. Hope you see some miserable faces in red shirts on the way back home. A very difficult but, with home advantage, very winnable game. What an incentive to tower above the two @rsecheeks in a lofty first position. COYS.
  17. The reason The Tavern closed was that the owner upped the rent for it to the extent it wasn't viable. The landlord of the pub have moved to a place in the India tyres complex. I only bring this up now because I saw some folk in the Braehead yesterday tidying things up. I don't know if it was just that or if they've found new tenants to take over.
  18. Was it Palace Royale? I remember being there when the waiters chased someone who had tried to leave without paying.
  19. There is probably a release clause in the contract so, maybe not so fantastic I agree with Jaybee on this. We don't have infinite funds so we won't be able to match Hibs on salary. I only hope Robinson is driven by more than fast cash.
  20. Not missing the point though. As for the highlighted part. Faraway being the biggest culprit.
  21. Sorry but he does far more than react though. He's constantly the instigator. He openly attacks people on a regular basis and, probably due to his severe lack of vocabulary, overuses emojis. He is no more than a small nuisance, emphasis on small, due to me using the ignore function to good effect. I only see his sh!te when it is quoted. Stand up for your buddy by all means but don't lie for him.
  22. The big difference is Killie's two wins have been on their horrible pitch. It's a leveller. And they've managed to get another home draw in the next round. We have played on excellent football surfaces and won all three against top league opponents. Our pitch is perfect. Theirs shouldn't be near top league football.
