beyond our ken

Had a great night at the Dunfermline Carnegie Hall experiencing The Vintage Explosion last night. Advancing Tinnitus means I pick & choose gigs carefully these days to preserve what's left of my hearing and this was a really good choice. I heard about them about 3 years ago via Benny Gallagher's Facebook page and made a note that i had to get to a gig to hear them and we got tickets prompted by HSS' revue a few months ago (thanks for that) . Lots of reasons why I didn't get round to it sooner but I wish I'd ignored them. Going to get tickets to see them again soon real soon. Willie Hitchell is one of the top 5 singers i have heard live, and i'm my 50th year of hearing live music. The way he can sing those high notes so strongly is, frankly, amazing. A lot of the crowd had probably seen them before but for my wife and I it was a first. A little bit cut short because the Carnegie has a strict 10:30 curfew and there was a lengthy interruption when some old dear took ill and the band had to leave the stage. It must be weird for a relatively young band to play to such an old audience, at 66 I'd say I as in the middle of the age range though there were a fair few 30s and under there. The energy, obvious enjoyment of the band and the brilliance of the performance were truly memorable, you just need to get out to see them if you get the chance.

That's the thing, we don't really see enough of him and we can't judge on that basis. I for one hope he really is ready and the last couple of years reliant on loanees has been part of a process to see him develop to an acceptable standard. There is a shortage of good goalies out there and developing our own is really the way to go, long term

If that is true then it is pretty much break even as we reportedly paid £60k up front and have add-ons in the deal for ourselves & Gateshead. Apparently one other young striker on our radar and P&B posters are citing a report that says Urminsky will be given the chance to prove himself as 1st choice in the league cup group games. Would be great if he shapes up and we are spared the expense of a fee for a more seasoned keeper, will be somewhat scary if he falls short.

it does seem that planning for that position is very reactive, it's not the first time in recent years we have been looking at second choices within a couple of weeks of the new season preliminaries. I'd agree that Peter should either have been given a more comprehensive development plan that would have him challenging for the number one spot by now, or he should have been moved on at some point in the last 2 years.

I remember being highly impressed with the cascading piano section on "Dignity" when they played it live on the BBC scotland show FSD very soon after it was released and before I heard the somewhat sanitised recorded version. Left me a little disappointed in the single.

Thats always true at every club A lot of recent praise for Martin comes into a new perspective now, statements like that can be indicative of splits & dissatisfaction Remains to be seen how extensive it all is

The horse was drugged, bribed and forced at knife point to say that

I heard Bony Spurs were involved, are they a c(o)untry band?

Well said!

God help us all!

https://www.blackartsdevelopment.com/store/p5/capo-special-edition.html Moving ever closer, and there is book out now, for those who like a very intense crime thriller https://www.blackartsdevelopment.com/store/p5/capo-special-edition.html The author is a life-long Saints fan who has already appeared in several feature films and in the background of a series on Prime. Please think seriously about giving this a bit of a boost by purchasing a book, or maybe several?

What false statements were made against Kibble? Which legal action did they launch? Decree Absolvitor-look it up! It's completely disingenuous of you to make this about Kibble for everyone who has a concern, are you saying that to be interested in this you are automatically anti-kibble? I don't know Wardrop, i know some people that I trust who say he is a blowhard and i don't support him. I support SMFC, the football team and admit that at times i have supported the team while feeling a fair bit of antipathy towards the board and some board members. I don't understand the need to try and split the fans on the basis of whether you are concerned about some aspects of club business or are not.

No, just cliche-ridden

Well they did originally cite the SMFC owned land and Kibble were reported in the judgement as saying that they would have sold their saints shares if they got what they wanted and it is alluded that the thing they want was the land. Saints still own it and it's maybe a pity that the proposed development at J29 was refused planning permission as Saints might have been sitting on a tasty wee ransom strip there. Euro Garages (I think) are going ahead with a service area on a much reduced project there that doesn't impact club land.

Promised to consult then attempted to implement the plan without the consultation?

He had improved since his first stint in Paisley and i think if we are really only looking at free-agents and loanees then we might get another Balcombe, but another Hemming may be beyond our financial reach. Maybe we should have offered Urminsky in Part exchange?????

It actually looked pretty good for the last couple of home games but there was a parasite infestation so maybe they need to completely dig it up and re turf

You probably never heard of him yet many have loved his music https://www.showbiz411.com/2025/06/06/rip-bob-andrews-75-founder-of-the-rumour-produced-the-las-there-she-goes-dozens-of-new-wave-classics He also produced the Bluebells album, played with Elvis Costello & Rory Gallagher and was a driving force behind the outputs of Stiff Records in their heyday I got to meet him and he was easily one of the nicest people in music RIP Big Bob

It's the OSCR, who regulate charities, not the CQC who are deciding on whether an investigation is needed

Don't be conned by the emojis, he is absolutely irate
