Debaser

Wedding Present and Wonder Stuff on Friday, Churches and Twilight Sad a week on Saturday, RM Hubbert next month Adam Ant in June and Placebo in December. The year is shaping up not bad.

Unprecedent demand the statement said - now we are saying that Rangers haven't demanded more tickets, Fund 1 or 2 new players we said - now we know the figures don't stack up. The only way to make them stack up is to twist them to include income from the 2 and a bit stands we are handing over. In addition to all that we have now been told that Rangers will also have an allocation of the West Bank. If funding and segregation is so important why don't the board move ALL season ticket holders to the one stand, not sell any other tickets to saints fans and sell all the remaining seats to Rangers fans? After all why should we deny a Rangers fan the chance to see their team. All this a few days before we could be dragged right back into a relegation battle. If we draw Celtic in the cup (or even if we get promoted in the future) will we be looking to be similarly accommodating? After all the same logic applies in those circumstances even more so given that season tickets aren't valid for cup games. Wrong decision - probably Wrong timing - definitely Wrong way of doing it - undoubtedly.

Point 4 in SGGs email hits it bang on the head, if we don't lie down and give them everything they want they will misbehave. What a defeatist attitude and a reward for years of disgraceful behaviour from old firm fans. That aside this could still be a very important game for us but that does not seem to part of the decision making process by the board. If anyone believes that the extra money will allow a decent extra player (or two!) to come in then they need their head examined. If this pulls in an additional £30k after VAT and costs then the board will be doing well, that translates to a player on less than £20k basic by the time you take NI, pension costs, bonuses etc into account.

Less the VAT on the ticket price, not everyone will be a full price ticket, less extra stewards and police, you quite quickly get to a relatively minimal figure. Considering how close Livi will be to us should we not win on Saturday the decision and its timing are both flawed not only in a financial sense but also in a footballing one.

Can we not just play it at Ibrox and get 50% of the gate or would even our board view this as a step too far. Is Phil being told when to play Penny Arcade or Simply the Best to accommodate the 'unprecedented demand' for it? This decision is a joke.

Wonder Stuff and Wedding Present for me next week too...... Although mine is in Newcastle.

Thought Clarkson gave us something we haven't had all season, Quinn... Mehhh, Cooper......mmmm, Irvine looked rusty and slow, I think the later 3 all fitted in well with the rest of the team. Important 3 points but still not convinced that 4th is anywhere possible.

We were awful for most of the game no intent to try and hurt thistle, Rae seems to be trying to shore up the defence at the expense of any attckomg threat, back to Gus times at best.

Livingston have only scored one less goal at our ground this season than we have at home in the entire league campaign.

If trying to signing McCulloch was the thing behind the scenes that wasn't going Rae's way then I'm right behind the board on it. A cheat that dishes it out but can't take it.

Twilight sad at the Barrowlands on the 12th is next for us.

Saw the complete stone roses this time last year at the ABC and they were fantastic, sorry I'm missing it.

It looks like we sold more of our allocation than they did.

Standing in the Centurian in Newcastle having a pint watching the Newcastle game before heading to the Wedding Present gig later tonight.

I thought we had signed Alex Miller to play right back?

Just added Adam Ant at the concert hall in June to my list of gigs......... We had vouchers to use up.

Really looking forward to it, although I'm not sure the wife is, but it is our wedding anniversary the next day. So she is either coming or watching me nurse a hangover the next day. Was surprised to see that it is already sold out tbh.

Saw them at Oran Mor earlier this year, they were brilliant, gutted to be missing them in Paisley tonight. My gigs for the rest of the year at the mo are: Faithless at the hydro Wedding Present in Newcastle, possibly Glasgow too Twilight Sad at Barrowlands

This is the first paragraph of the email I received. "I can confirm that JD will not be restocking this item unfortunately. The company policy says that you have 14 days for a full refund and 28 days for an exchange. If you decide to return this item after these times you will not be eligible for a refund/exchange." Kind Regards Marietta JD Customer Care There are obviously mixed messages coming out of JD which aren't helping anyone's confidence in what will eventually transpire. I do find it incredible that I am being told that they will not be restocking the kids shirts but as you can see from the above there isn't much room for doubt. Hopefully the person that contacted me after I was asked to do a review of their service has been misinformed.

I agree with the logic totally and don't doubt that if I was to go down and make a scene in the shop that I would get the right outcome but 'legally' they are ordered as separate items and there is nothing that makes them individually unfit for purpose so if everyone acts unreasonably and things got silly legally then I think I'd be pissing in the wind. My main point is one mentioned earlier the season hasn't even started and I'm being told by customer services that the home shirt won't be restocked by the only supplier. I really haven't tried to make an issue out of this, I was fully prepared to wait a few weeks for them to get it sorted and it was only them asking me for an online review of their service that prompted the communication with customer services.

The email also states that it is company policy that a refund is only given with 14 days. Legally I think under the sale of goods act the shorts and socks individually are fit for purpose and therefore there is nothing wrong with them apart from the lack of a shirt to go with them. So 'legally' I don't think there is any recourse.

That is what the email I have from customer services says. I have asked them to escalate into a formal complaint now and contacted the club. I hope it is somone in customer services that doesn't know what they are talking about but the first line of her email states. "I can confirm JD will not be restocking this item unfortunately"

I have been in correspondence with JD customer service after I was asked to rate their service for my order for my sons junior kit. I have just been told that they will NOT be restocking the junior home shirt. This leaves me with a pair of socks and shorts for a junior kit but no shirt! Although they have offered me 10% of my next purchase as a gesture of goodwill.

Spotted an XXL saints shirt for sale in JD Livingston amongst the OF shirts.
