Everything posted by beyond our ken

  1. I see Dundee are selling tickets to home fans since last week for our game at Dens, but no sign of away tickets on our website yet
  2. Drastic oversimplification on the drink there most drinks were above the minimum unit price when it was introduced and only the high strength changed significantly my wife has Finromyalgia and her rheumatologist told us that smoking in homes was to blame she told us the SNP had a plan to ban all tobacco sales that was dropped after the tobacco companies threatened to ruin the country with law suits I’d agree Sunak’s ban is gibberish though and he is only doing it to lay a trap for the incoming government
  3. You are asking people who want to talk about St Mirren and maybe a few general interest topics to ignore 90% of the drivel posted? Most people would simply go elsewhere. Take your own advice, if you don't like my posts don't read them
  4. I watched the first episode fully and made it halfway through the second before quitting Stylised re-hash (no pun intended) of other series like breaking bad and better call saul played by actors who look as if they would rather be getting a root canal without pain meds than cycle their way through this pish. Not an original moment in the whole thing
  5. It's become a receptacle for conspiracy theorists, racists who think they aren't letting it show, inane drively vids of social nuisances doing "audits" and essays on "what we did on our holiday".
  6. In other words " I am sickened that i won't have a chance to spend a big chunk of my billions in helping to ensure that something that was never going to happen anyway doesn't happen". "You are all a shower of plebs" (copyright JKR 2024).
  7. I'm not going to watch it as the law is still in place as written, therefore the above is merely reactionary clickbait for brain-dead trolls who need someone else to hate in order to divert from their self-loathing
  8. Rain comes from above, or at least sideways in these conditions.
  9. "They call me Mr Tibbs" was a 1970 release, so possibly taken as recently as 1971-72 as movies would do the "b" circuit for a year or two after release back then
  10. Wow! A whole page of losers, sorry "auditors" being a nuisance in the hope that they can intimidate or harass a police officer into doing something they can claim compo for.
  11. Maybe 700-ish home tickets are still available for Saturday and to avoid a match day rush I think the club should consider a cut-price offer for registered ticket site users for e-tickets only that are bought before Saturday. It will be bad enough with people who already purchased tickets rocking up to the kiosk at 2' o' clock
  12. I previously said i think we can get 4th on GD if we at least match Killie's other results and beat them Post-split It will be very tight though and is really not in our hands as they only have to draw against us and match our points from other games. 4th place would be great but only on it's own merits, Europe is an unnecessary drag on our pre-season and has proven a huge millstone for other clubs of our size in Scotland. We are 3 players short of a side capable of getting through qualifying and unless you qualify for the group stages it's a bit of a money pit.
  13. But you were telling us a few months ago that things are going so well both on and off the park I think the squad looks tired already this season and it is happening even earlier than it did last year. We are what we are, short of resources and with some money wasted on less than impressive signings in the last two seasons we don't have the quality either in goals or in front of goal that we need to be higher up the table. I'll still be happy if we get 5th and 4th is still not out the question (though i believe that McInnes has Killie too mentally strong to blow their advantage at this stage) If we can move on some of the poor acquisitions and the management team can show that they have learned some lessons on signings then we could be very strong next season. I think people inside the club and some supporters are realising that if you are not top 4 then you are very much mid-table or worse in this league and it hurts a little
  14. And yet the game changed for the worse for us when he went off of thep I thought he did well with no support, Mandron was not interested today and Toyosi was left to do it all up front today. Once we lost his running power we offered nothing. I thought Kiltie and Tanser had extremely quiet games and my opinion is that all we offered went down the right side Had we given Ayunga 10 minurtes alongside Olusanya I think it could have been a win for us, as we went with only Mandron up front for too long a period. At least Ayunga put in some effort and endeavour, something we didn't see from either Mandron, Tanser or Kiltie. You can't have that many players basically cruising
  15. Strain certainly did not enough help from Mac
  16. Results this weekend will go a long way towards making this a possible sell-out. If we win and Killie drop points then we are back in the hunt for 4th and from then on in would only need to match Killie's results to set up a showdown, hopefully in Paisley as we have had them away twice this season already. Killie have more chances of points than we do, with Hearts & Celtic the only two games after Saturday for us and Killie have Hearts, Rossco and St Johnstone I fancy that if we make 4th, it would be on goal difference.
  17. At least we got proof that neither Souttar nor Porteous should get near a Scotland jersey
  18. https://www.google.com/search?q=february+on+course+to+break+unprecedented&oq=february+on+course+to+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTINCAIQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAMQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAQQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAUQABiGAxiABBiKBdIBCTg5MjBqMGoxNagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Why pick on the Guardian when so may others are citing the same evidence? Surely it is good that a news outlet has a healthy scepticism regarding fake or unscientific research?
  19. The high point of my gig going life so far was the rendition of this at the Appolo then the crowd sang the refrain instead of the usual call for an encore i genuinely had a wee tear that night, he was an incredible man
  20. Going into Europe with a squad based on this one would do more harm than good so maybe a blessing in a very ugly disguise today
  21. Those delivery drivers are getting lazier, couldn't they park up and walk to the door? I used to live in McIntyre place and in the 2 years I was there there were 3 crashes at that bend near the top of the hill. Likewise the house on Stanely road opposite Balgonie woods where the owners would find a crashed car in the front garden on a regular basis. The guy who repaired the garden wall was on to a regular payday.
  22. a quick review of notable away defeats should yield the answer? Being serious, it will be a really long time ago. I think we were short of the 3000 mark at Motherwell for the big escape. WE didn't get near that number of tickets for the play-off v United. Maybe we had that number at Easter road for the championship escape season but I doubt it. The current grounds with a physical capacity for 3000 away fans are very few. Maybe Aberdeen, up until a few years ago Tynecastle, Easter road but we never sold out the whole away end the last time we got it. If it has happened in the last 25 years then it could only have been at Motherwell or Killie and if it didn't happen then? Well my best guess is the 80s at one of the Glasgow piggeries or in Edinburgh.
