  1. accies have taken one of our cast offs in imrie it's the kind of world we all live in
  2. 12 of the 20 points we need would have to come from remaining gamesagainst dundee, county and motherwell and I maight be right in guessing we play each of these twice. that would see us OK, i think
  3. it's the same paperweight squad that craig formed that has got us in this mess and will see us stay in it-new players are a bigger requirement than a new manager
  4. glad i missed this one, i thought we would have kept it tighter than this
  5. 0-0 will do me today, united have put last week's result in perspective for me. I always said the wheels would come off at dens and they are unravelling big style-killie are a different proposition with a proven match-winner in their ranks just seen too many false dawns to get too carried away with recent developments
  6. this line up is dictated more by who is fit and suspension free rather than any philosophy, i think. Killie will be far more tenacious than dundee were
  7. i think you are discounting the infrastructure projects that the SNP delivered after decades of promise but no delivery from all other political parties or forgetting dicko's rants, the thousands of operations and maintenance jobs in renewable energy or brokering the saving of the ferguson shipyard or maybe you just want to lie about the SNP
  8. I'd disagree. many fans wanted a four-stand arrangement without realising that the atmoshere is generated by people being enclosed. iwould sugest that the club invest in some big plastic advertising banners to drape across the north and south stands and only open them if we sell enough tickets in advance to make it worthwhile more than once, especially in the early days of the McPherson promotion season, i saw the crowd lift the team from a tepid performance to get things moving again
  9. big talent loved the story of his mum going to wash his jeans while he slept things off and found a royalty cheque for 100k in the back pocket at least he lived it
  10. sky were giving it greater prominence than bbc 24, who seemed to think that northern ireland is a bigger story today
  11. I wish i could believe the last statement. But anyone who has ever been in any sort of a club or on a committee will tell you that self interest, greed, cronyism, etc rear their heads in all sorts of places. the place would inevitably be run by a clique who are more interested in the power or the money than they are in the welfare of the club. If not that, then there would be constant internicine war being waged between factions and half-baked experts popping up to give us the benefit of their "expertise" in the playing side
  12. will post on the FB page. the Playhouse in Perth is doing great trade using a mix of mainstream, art-house and niche presentations on the screen they have an I-max, which is a must rather than waste money on a rerstaurant, doing a meal & movie deal with local eateries would work more cost-effectively (i think) theatre wise, if the alhambra in Dunfermline can do so well, then why not a paisely theatre. dunfermline is very connected to edinburgh yet manages to sustain the carnegie and the alhambra very well
  13. all the BBC managed on Friday was to interview a guy delivering lunches at the harbour. Nice guy, seemed a decent business man possibly the most unintendedly laughable interview i have seen
  14. if any of the bottom 3 lose their next 4 games then i'm afraid they have little chance of staying up. bad news for us is that the board will take a short winning/not losing run as a cue that things are on the up and will think again about new signings
  15. looking back, we should have taken it another bad decision compounded by the Craig debacle
  16. i dont think the current position is in the interests of any of our players
  17. well as long as you have decided, eh did you tell them?
  18. as opposed to the crumbling dump, sans parking, that they currently inhabit? they need a new ground, that is for sure, and a new one need not be soul-less. all it really needs is to harness the noise of whatever size crowd is there and keep the fans close to and a little above the pitch in my experience, Falkirk's stadium has bags more atmosphere than ours and the raised stands at NDP would work really well in a completed stadium
  19. Piazza flattening sounds good to me- a garden city development along the banks of the cart from the Hammils to the bridge behind the sneddon and the high street reverted to good quality social and private housing with certain decrepit buildings removed and replaced with open space and street art/furniture. the UK high street aint coming back soon and the only way it will ever happen is if city centres become a bit more picturesque and attractive we do desperately need a major employer to move their headquarters to a location near the town centre to drive some momentum. they really should have done something to try and snare scottish power who are building in a pointless location next to the M8. a new development on Laighcartside would have been ideal for them somebody somewhere is planning a new city headquarters building just now, we only need to get one of them to Paisley and we are rocking
  20. Anthony crola suffers a fractured skull whilst rying to apprehend burglars real shame if it affects his career in the way that i fear it will
