How can anyone be surprised by this ? The guy is a self-confessed narcissistic pr*ick, who in all likelihood would treat women as commodities.
However, innocent until proven guilty, as they say.

Your use of the word "opporchancity" is to be applauded. I use it frequently, and people just stare at me 😊

Aye!
I asked on here years ago, if YOU were the Mike Brannigan that I also knew! ( never got a response, so presumed I was well wrong.)
Mike was always a positive guy, great for a laugh. I feel pretty sure that Mike came down to London to enjoy the odd weekend, kipping at one or other of the slums that we shared…
(one house that “sleeps 6” already had 7 lads + 2 girlfriends there, when I moved in. It was quite tiring existing on the living room sofa in a big party house.)
Sorry I didn't reply to your query !
Yes, my dad used to go down south for the festivals, ie Knebworth , Isle of Wight etc so possibly looked in on you then. Would have been the early '70s.
I now live in New Zealand, but try and see the Buds whenever I'm back home. Will give you a shout next time.
Take care, and as always COYS !

There usetae be a train to London….. via Paisley. Sunday evenings, iirc…
my very good Buddie, (Andy Carruthers) now gone, did a brilliant rip off of the Paisley station staff and their VIP role on shifting THE LONDON TRAIN!!, through PGS. Great excitement, it seemed. Many loud calls about… THE LONDON TRAIN!!,
it went via Dumfries and Galloway. A circuitous route. Don’t think Andy or me ever used it.
Probably the excitement was due (potentially) to getting rid of tossers like me n Andra!
Did you know my Dad, Mike Brannigan ? Dyed in the wool Saints man. Spent his last few years out in Kilbarchan and was great pals with Andy Carruthers back in the day.

Disagree. I think the whole thing is a mass of contradictions, hypocrisy and confusion. There are absolutely grounds to contest this. Ourselves and Killie have been treated very harshly.
The protocols may be bonkers but SMFC signed up to them !

Are we being punished for breaking Covid protocol or for not having a big enough pool of players available.
We are being punished for failing to implement and follow SPFL protocols.
A consequence of players testing positive for Covid is that we couldn't fulfill fixtures due to a small playing squad. This lead to the SPFL investigation where we were found to have breached the prescribed protocols in several areas.
You could argue that clubs with large squads will less likely be investigated as they are more capable of fielding a team, if they have Covid positive players.
Having said all that, we have been found to have f*cked up big time. Take our punishment and move on.

Don't you be standing up in defence of the club.
I love the club.
In a previous existence, I was a union rep and would sit in on meetings as a support person for members going through a disciplinary process etc etc. I would be fully aware why they were there and quite often I would advise " You can't defend the indefensible. Sit and take your medicine. "
I am making the rather wild assumption that the SPFL investigation process and outcome will be fair and transparent. But do fear that the club will be made an example of, IF they have breached covid protocols.

To fight their corner against perceived unfounded allegations.
Yeah I get that.
But my gut feeling is not good re this. This is our 3rd strike remember. As said previously, burden of proof is on the SPFL to demonstrate that SMFC are on the radar again because they have not followed prescribed protocol.
-
SMFC know they have f*cked up big time. Why else would they hire a retired senior ex cop ?

Never reached 20,00 ANY day, never mind AVERAGE, which you liked a few days ago.
I don't think I said the numbers were down to the number of tests, but it could be a reason.
So, you're saying that despite us testing more than any other European country we're seeing an average of just under 16,000 and you REALLY think we were having 100,000 a day?
The USA, quite a big country, averaged just under 70,000 at it's peak and you REALLY think we had 100,000?
If you chose to believe this, fire on, I'm just interested why?
Unless you are testing 100% of the population all the time, you really don't have any CERTAINTY as to what is going on. Anything less, introduces margins of error. As a generalisation, this is dependent on the proportion of the population being tested. Smaller proportion being tested implies bigger margins of error and less ability to make accurate predictions.
Most deaths will have happened at the start of the epidemic. Unfortunately those most at risk have checked out already. Admittedly, conjecture on my part.
I do think there is a kind of muddled "strategy" with a gas on / gas off lockdown policy. Hence the eat out to help out in August followed by the current screw down "tiers". It is an attempt to spread out future deaths. "Flatten the sombrero" - remember that ?

While I have considerable sympathy for the hospitality trade I am getting more and more fecked off at he profiteering.
My wife was out for lunch today in Dundee with my daughter, all of a sudden the lunch menu was not available, only the A La carte menu.
Also £2.99 for a small bottle of sparkling water would have got a "I'll not bother" response from me.
No tip was left, and they won't be back.
Robbing b'strds.
Just been charged £12.95 for 3 lemonades and 3 bags of crisps. If that's 'hospitality' then f*ck 'em. Let them go under ...

Aye right cause alcohol makes you more likely to follow the advice ?
The advice is in place so we can get time at Xmas and you can drink as much as you want then, otherwise Xmas and New Year are OFF.
Maybe if society drunk a bit less alcohol we would all be in a better place ?
I'll make you a wee wager that the next 2 week 'circuit breaker' restrictions will be over Christmas/New Year ...

It's all Alcohol's fault !
If you didnt feel as if you're being treated as a moron, you are now !
Feckin' ridiculous.

For two weeks at Xmas when it'll mostly be shut down anyway?
Are you saying we'll just a have short duration (2 week) lockdown in 3 months' time because people will be less inconvenienced re work, travel, schools, child care etc.
That's a nonsense !

Would they all have died of something else if they had not developed Covid?
The answer is yes. People have been dieing way before covid 19 turned up. The biggest risk factor for dieing is being old.
If and when "they" can provide true and accurate stats of people who have died of covid 19 ALONE, it will be a small figure.
Yes I'm being a smart arse, but if you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.

And you would moan if she did nothing & your family got struck?
She cant win! (A bit like Scotland tonight!)
I'm not moaning about anything, merely expressing an opinion that the current restrictions and control measures being imposed in the West of Scotland are a nonsense.
I wouldn't worry if my family 'got struck' because I believe the disease is mild in the vast majority of the population. Who knows, it may have been through the house already and we've all been asymptomatic ?
The virus cannot now be 'eliminated'. To the best of my knowledge this has only happened with one human virus, smallpox, and that took decades.
I'm with Oaksoft in that herd immunity is likely the best way to progress now. A covid vaccine won't be available for the general population any time soon.
'A wee bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing' but I would like to think I would know something about virology and epidemiology (the study of disease in populations) because I am vet.

Ain't a shit show now of crowds being in grounds any time soon. Wee Nicky has lost her nerve, if she ever had it.

Does that avenge the '77 game ?

Police will call it off. A lot of surface flooding and a couple of road closures. Just managed to get back to Glenburn from Lochwinnoch with a few detours.
