  1. Delight as Jonah Ayunga agrees contract extension (stmirren.com) I missed this and didn't see anyone else comment. Good news and it must mean he is well on the way back now. Hard as hell to come back from ACL injuries and any lengthy lay off so a doff of the cap to the young man. Hopefully see him getting game time after the next international break as the outlook is another few weeks as of last thursday
  2. £3 40/hour for the metered spaces where the buses park is the best bet, parking is free after 5:30 but beware the LEZ charges if your vehicle is less than cat 5 (usually anything older than 2014) If you want to eat then with a kid the omni is a good bet but parking IS pricey, probably a tenner for the evening or even £12.50, you can even go to the cinema if the game is shite.
  3. Never tried but i always had it down as a chippy/fry up type place Genova is great, Pollo Milanese with maybe a few chillies in the sauce? And a lovely Sangiovese I dont like the Indian near Harvies, I've tried it twice in the last year and the grub is disappointing. I do find the standard of prepared food is generally down in most establishments over the last year, even the mid-upper price range outlets. My favourite place in the last few years was the Birds & Bees near Stirling and they took the signature dish (blade of beef) off the menu and employed a bunch of kids to run the front of house. Allans is still OK, certainly very good value, even better if you are happy with whiting instead of haddock. Most places that sell you whiting just call it fish and people rarely complain about it. It does need a right good re-furb though, those original "period" features are more than a bit tired.
  4. A serious point, if you can't get a supporters bus or drive then the public transport options are OK to get there but a wee bit complex getting home, especially if there is extra time and the usual self-important idiots on VAR. Normal time & VAR will see a final whistle at around 21:45 with a brisk walk back to Waverley for the 22:13 to Glasgow. Extra time and penalties will see the end of the game around 22:20, the only train after that is the 23:13 and you are looking at a 01:00-ish arrival in Glasgow BUT, you can get a tram from Picardy place to the airport and then jump on the Glasgow airport bus to Buchanan, The tram takes about 40 minutes to get to the airport and there are Glasgow buses from there right up to midnight
  5. It should be, that is at least 1 emergency exit being blocked
  6. After a full match yesterday I would say that is on the cards, why would it not be?
  7. No wonder Campbell Money hated Hearts with such a vengeance, seems they tried to take him out in every match he played against them
  8. I got my ticket for this one but the ticket website had a meltdown when i paid for my easter road ticket. Took the money but never offered any means of recording my details for postage. Doesn't matter anyway as they never seem to get round to posting away paper tickets properly so I'll get it at the ground on Saturday. With a ful house and a bus full of maroon clad twats to accompany me across the country the prospect of a win is very exciting.
  9. Keep this going and the only two unbeaten teams could be meeting soon Spmebody's 0 has gotta go, lets hope it's not ours.
  10. I was talking in general and hadn't seen todays game It's not a criticism, just an observation
  11. Hopefully he can take how real he is to the training ground he seems to tire quite early I know it is a high pressure midfield and the players need to be fit enough for the 90+ minute as they can’t be sure they will be subbed
  12. If I wasn't dependent on public transport just now then I would be there, it's a pain in the arse to get to Motherwell from anywhere east of Glasgow. Saving it up for the game in Edinburgh and the next 2 home games, I hope we are in the semis and still in the top 4 by the start of October
  13. He could be honoured as the first employee to take us to an employment tribunal? I think the issue is, if he was honoured in that way it would be fitting to invite him to take a bow and I really don't know if he has forgiven the club for sacking him
  14. I'd agree on this, you should be able to register on your chosen club's platform for away tickets. The current system, or lack of, makes a mockery of the early access to tickets given to ST holders
  15. Bandwidth Beholden (beholding) anything said on GB news Anything said on Talk TV
  16. But Shakespeare wrote in the idiom of his time, and if he had written it then it would have been "Ye" The one that is on the wall is more based on the town-crier call of "hear ye" which was picked up by English fans and is still fukkin stupid
  17. But stupidity will be compounded in the UK, that is a certainty. Stability for this country looks like being as shit next week as we were this week and last. The leave vote was secured by the urban northern-english looking for a scapegoat for their troubles despite the architects of their plight being the ones who told them they had the cure, like a reverse-vaccine. Oh wow! we can make our own laws! Big deal, we used to largely make the laws for the whole of Europe.
  18. Billy As we recall, the biggest shots to the foot came from board members who thought they were the reason for the success and successively 2 brilliant managers were chased out, I just feel that the Kibble people have the capability to go down that road. It's true though, we always seem fragile and one idiot away from a full about face when things are going well. Who knows where it would all have gone if we had kept the head between 78 and 81 and again when some idiot let Craig, Goodwin and others loose on what was looking a pretty stable unit after the usual post-success slump was arrested early by Lennon
  19. Nope, it is abandoning a failed small and inward-looking union for a functioning and expanding one By your logic, it would seem that leaving unions is a good idea anyway
  20. In this case, once you're in, you're in! The two entities became entwined as soon as SMISA gave up it's rights to buy Scott's shares and there was no protecting anyone from any adverse outcomes after that. What we have had so far has been mildy unpalatable off the field and we should remember that the fortunes of the club on the park this last while are all down to players, professional coaches and support staff who operate independently of Kibble "assistance". Hopefully this episode has Needham realising that Kibble need to pull their horns in and that he acts accordingly. It is, at the very least, messy.
  21. might be a case of someone alerting the regulator or maybe just a regulator actually doing it's job. All in it's a good thing.
