  1. Looks like you won't be seeing the "Minister for the Union" From the Guardian: "This is what Ross told the Today programme when asked this morning if Johnson would be visiting during the campaign. "I’m not sure if he’s going to come up in Scotland in this campaign. He had hoped to come up, and I thought he may come up, but given the pandemic and the restrictions to campaigning I’m not sure that’s likely now." When it was put to Ross that Johnson had visited Scotland previously when Covid restrictions were in force, Ross replied: "Well, he’s also leading the UK effort for against a global pandemic and I think people understand in this more strange election campaign, in terms of the restrictions that we’ve all got to deal with, that it may not be as easy for the prime minister to come up." A more plausible reason for Johnson not visiting Scotland is that his opinion ratings in the country make him a one-man vote multiplier for the SNP."
  2. How can we persuade them to invite the Old Firm?
  3. My reasoning was that ICT and Raith cannot both reach the playoff finals (19 & 23 May), so the season for one of them will end on the 15th at the very latest. In fact the season could be over for both on the 9th. I can't see either club wanting to keep its players hanging around for an essentially meaningless game two or three weeks later. Especially if travel restrictions have been eased and some players could go and see families and friends for the first time in a long time. Added to that, if there is now bad blood between the clubs, then it might be better not to play it. I haven't looked at the contractual aspect of it, i.e. whether they might be forced to play it to satisfy the SPFL and Tunnocks.
  4. I guess this all makes it less likely that the outstanding Challenge Cup Final will ever be played. There must be little desire on either side now.
  5. Whoooo!! I'm in England!!! I can go shopping!!! Anywhere!!!! Just remembered. I hate shopping
  6. Do they think that everyone knocks off early on Fridays? At 7:45 on Friday, BBC Scotland is showing.... Forfar vs Dundee United. I'd say that is the least attractive of the three ties on Friday.
  7. "... parted like the Red Sea ...", surely? Aw, c'mon, it shows I read it! To apologise, here's some sublime Greek prog for you...
  8. So is the DofE's funeral. I predict a shift - hopefully just the time, not the date.
  9. I have wondered if the visibility of the pink strips provides just a fraction of a second advantage to our players. The opposite of the infamous Man U grey strip which lasted only 45 minutes.
  10. ...especially since he slips just before the ball reaches him.
  11. 3 out of 42? Pathetic!
  12. You'll recognise that as a great example of intermittent reinforcement - the most powerful conditioning method in psychology
  13. Correct me if I am wrong, but I can't remember Ridgers having to make one save, all night. He cut out a cross or corner or two, but otherwise had a quiet night. We are still a work in progress, but that was certainly the best I've seen them play this season.
  14. We could win this by kicking their stock of balls out of the ground. Shooting is terrible, and not just in this game.
  15. Aye - presumably Queensbury Rules will apply. Chance for Scott Allan to establish himself as an ICT legend, in just one game?
  16. Surely because we now have the People's Front of Scotland and the Scottish People's Front?
  17. I have to say that I was not convinced. I saw a lot of running around which gave an appearance of sharpness, together with a few displays of petulance and dissent when decisions went against him. Not sure if that is what he is usually like, or if he was trying to show his new teammates that he was fully committed. Considering that he woke up in Edinburgh that morning, and that everything happened so quickly, then his first 35 minutes was too soon to tell anything. But of course I hope he goes on to be a great success!
  18. Moi aussi. Was surprised and a bit concerned that we had a Tuesday game before the Friday cup-tie!
  19. Could we not have got the Buckie commentator on loan until the end of the season?
