Do I think his wife and her family's background will have an influence on his decision making re the conflict in Gaza, absolutely I do......my wife's opinions and beliefs influence decision making regularly. I agree that Hamas' actions gave Netanyahu an "added" excuse but let's be honest the conduct of Israel towards Palestine previous to October 7th was already at a level that Governments of other countries should have been asking questions, he used that excuse to curry favour with the hard-liners and to remain in office (and possibly out of jail). Starmer has allowed things to get this far and still provided arms (for profit) and now thinks Israel has gone too far, give us peace. His missus knew exactly who she was marrying and what his intentions and ambitions were, she signed up for it......I'll leave it there.

I don't think mass killing for any reason, be it religious, political, invasion or otherwise, is a good thing....you??

Hi Guinness For clarification I've received two emails in the last 36 hours re 1877 Club compromise, one form 1877 Club and one from SMiSA.....the 1877 Club email gives the breakdown on what is happening with 1877 Club and has only been sent to members, the SMiSa one is more saying that compromise has been reached and that SMiSA are broadly in agreement with the compromise without going into details.

Did anyone suggest his, hers or theirs was??

If it’s the same one that my daughter and I got the the compromise is in the sixth from last paragraph Buddie.

Really? What you don’t think people are influenced by those around them or their experiences.

He’s got to be careful not to upset his wife and her parents!!

Just call it Care in the Community!!

Not having a go in anyway GeordieBuddie and everyone/anyone is entitled to do their own thing. I'll be carrying on where things were previously purely as the money goes to St Mirren.....I'm not saying it's been handled well or that I'm in agreement with all that the club do.

I think he's talking about other team's attendances old boy 😇

For all of the info given on the role of the 4th official above the one thing for certain is the incident happened directly "in" the referees view......4th official should never have been involved at that point. It goes down to that "consistency in decisions making" stuff that is so frustrating. How many shirt pulls took place last night and how many resulted in fouls, add in "off the ball", "not interfering with play" etc and the ref allowing play to continue, throw in VAR not being asked to adjudicate and reversing his own decision on the back of the 4th official and it's a mess.

Let’s just split the difference at last 7 games and we are top of the form table….easy peasy.

😎😂

You and your negativity......are you Elvis in disguise?? 🤠

Top, top stuff 👌

It’s okay Buddy, he’s already said that he’ll get some things wrong 🙈….the issue is that once he says it, it becomes fact for the morons (anyone seen AlbionSaint).

Aye, after he had been in both Celtic's and Queens Park's Youth set-ups.......and let's not kid ourselves that they were truly "amateur" either, the expenses policy was pretty loose 😂

Really enjoyed them HSS, good find 👍

surprisingly near the front of both Littlewoods and Kays (so i've heard) 😎

Scud Book 😂😂 That’s a term that should be re-introduced to the Scottish Vernacular…. There’ll be youngsters that will never even heard of it 😂😂

Nothing to disagree with there FS……if the rhetoric doesn’t calm there will be potential empowered mob rule, it’s a horrendous possibility

I’ve tried to understate how my friends feel as I hate hyperbole……they absolutely agree with your folks

Agreed FS...... People talk about Farage being a loose cannon (some may agree and some may not) but his line of populism and rhetoric is now being re-enforced by Johnson, Patel, Braverman, Truss etc. Add to that the political information axis of Musk and Cummings (especially with Musk's control of Social Media output and algorithms) and we are going down a deep and divisive rabbit-hole. The biggest issue isn't people's political beliefs (everyone is entitled to hold their own belief's), it's the way that those belief's are now coming at us through controlled channels and the bombardment and volume of misinformation that is now being taken as fact on all sides of the spectrum.

Add in the "Silk Road" guy and Trump's description of the Prosecutors as "scumbags", be in no doubt about where this is headed. I referred earlier to my Texan pals who would be absolutely classic Republicans who will benefit massively financially in his time in office but they see through this despot for what he is. They voted for him first time round as they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hilary Clinton, they voted for Harris this time despite the fact that they disagree with her politically on many things.....their only wish is that the USA somehow gets through the next four years intact and without divisions that will never heal. They would also vote for Texas secession in the current circumstances.
