  1. Will our cut of the McGinn fee be enough to buy out Stubbs’ contract?
  2. Said the cleverest man in the room.
  3. You said Jolson “is still revered”. I believe that to be a lie and you have done nothing to make me think otherwise. The positive comments you have found from your Google search are from a time when it would have been career limiting at best for a black spokesperson to say anything different. Years ago I had a boss who always had to try and be the cleverest person in the room. He was generally hated but I always felt sympathetic towards him, clearly his behaviour was driven by inner demons. Every time I read one of your posts I’m reminded of that little guy.
  4. Ffs for someone who regularly criticises Googled responses, you’ve done some nice research there. Name one contemporary writer who lauds Jolson today. As far as the porn industry goes I’m happy to concede you probably know a lot more about that than I do. And you are absolutely right to say you can’t educate me.
  5. “The black and white minstrel thing was about entertainment for a start” as was bear bating in less enlightened times. Do you think the minstrels are still entertaining? If not, what has changed? “Al Jolson for example was and still is revered in black communities.” No he’s not. Where is your evidence for this lie? “women wouldn't freely engage in it in virtually all countries of the world.” “Freely”?
  6. Fair question. No I didn’t but then again I’m not sure what you would mean by “them”. Up until 15 minutes ago I was a member of SMiSA so I guess “us” would be more appropriate.
  7. Thanks Poz. I’ve been uncomfortable about the way monies have been diverted from the original purpose for some time, you have articulated my thoughts much better than I could. I am cancelling my DD tonight. Still, and always will be, a dyed in the wool Buddie but something ain’t right. My only regret is I now find myself falling into step with a certain pipe fitter.
  8. I don’t blame him for looking out for the best offer and wish him good luck in finding a decent gig. Probably continue his career in the Scottish Championship, the thought of Ross taking him to Sunderland is laughable.
  9. I think both strips look fine but I’d be happy watching the buds if they wore pound shop string vests. Frankly I couldn’t give a toss what this strip looks like although if these designs discourage anyone over the age of 19 wearing a football strip when not actually playing football then so much the better.
  10. Best post I’ve seen on here for a while.
  11. Can you name four better central defender targets who we could realistically afford?
  12. Motherwell have released Ellis Plummer. We could do worse.
  13. Ah. Close season postings, don’t you just love them?
  14. Finally managed to get online thanks to an electrical storm here in Hanoi. Was the ground full?
  15. Periscope link would be ideal. Murder following the game from Vietnam via web updates
  16. Yup, great interview. Where did you find this?
  17. Yup. Thought he absolutely strolled it. Controlled the game from start to finish.
  18. I bought a ticket for the original date and luckily I was able to get to the (first) rearranged game. Work means I can’t go to the re-rearranged game. Anyone know the position with refunds?
  19. Stephen McGinn was fantastic today. Good to see him applaud when Mullen was announced MoM. Really wish Smith had squared to the unmarked Reilly instead of taking the difficult shot. Gavin is a superb goal scorer and just needs one to get his confidence back. Pleasing day.
  20. That was awful, maybe the pressure of being top of the league shouldn’t be underestimated. If we play this poorly on Friday there is every risk United will get a point.
