Anyone know what Ayr are charging for a ticket?

Just booked my travel, Megabus to Glasgow Saturday morning, train to Ayr and back Saturday, night at my sister's flat in Glasgow on Saturday then Megabus home on Sunday. All for ?25.35. Feel I've done well :angry: Can't wait :)

I saw McGhee outside the stadium before the match so I can vouch for that... Don't know why he was there but Jonny was my first guess!

Have my maths completely failed me, or is promotion possible this Saturday if County lose tomorrow night OR on saturday, AND Dundee lose on Saturday? A long shot I know, plus we've got to win our match, but it is possible?

True, although Richie could have stayed in the SPL last summer but decided to stay at TCS. Maybe he'd be happy staying with Terry whatever league we're in? Although yes for Cox, Hayes and the rest you've got to believe they'll be SPL players next season regardless of whether we go up or not. Or back down to England...

According to http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/, the following players' contracts are set to expire: Richie Foran, Ross Tokely, Jonny Hayes, Ryan Esson, Lee Cox, Danni Sanchez, David Proctor, Robert Eagle, Lionel Djebi-Zadi, Dan Stratford, Eric Odhiambo, Roy McBain. Which would mean the only players with contracts beyond this summer are: Grant Munro, Stuart Golabek, Russell Duncan, Adam Rooney, Nick Ross, Kyle Allison, Gavin Morrison, Graeme Shinnie and Shane Sutherland...

Indeed. The story appeared bang on midnight and thought it might fool a few on here :D That's why I put "if you know what's going on here etc." at the end of my post. But what with it being after midday.. Yes I believe this to be an April Fools :D

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/ap...-brown-hard-man Labour's shocking new election poster... Can't believe they're really sinking to this level tbh. P.S. - If you know what's going on here keep it to yourself...

Special mention to the stewards too.. Came up two or three times to tell us off but only asked for us not to sit on the back railings - said they don't mind us standing and making noise or even the odd swear or use of the word "gypsy". Very fair I thought...

Just had a quick look on the gypo forum to see what our dear neighbours are making of it... This made me lol: "Johnny Hays should then have been sent off, Morrison was ushering the ball back to McGovern, when Hays dived in two footed and from behind on Morrison, he went through Morrison and made contact with McGovern leaving both County players needing treatment. After that Adam Rooney was lucky to stay on the park too, himself and Gary Miller both tumbled over after a tangle and Rooney clearly kicked Miller ont he chest with the studs of both feet, the entire County support rose and shouted at once, but the referee must have been the only person who didn't see it" Johnny's was a foul and a fair enough yellow, but a sending off? :021: And as for Adam... He kicked Miller on the chest with the studs of both feet?? :P Bitter gypo barstewards Priceless reading :D

Definetly some times to remember! But sadly some times to regret too :)

As a Welshman I'm very happy tonight :017: Awful performance though, with the greatest respects to Scotland I think even those on here will admit that as far as the Six Nations go, Scotland are, on paper, a fairly average side. Incredible to think that before an incredibly close defeat to France last year Wales looked maybe on course for two straight grand slams. Compare that side with the performances so far this year and you wonder what's gone wrong! Still so much quality in the Wales team though so if we get our act together I think we have a shot at the championship (Y). Really need to pull the finger out though...

Mark had a lot riding on this verdict, and this has been hanging over him for well over a year now... Remember as well, all this for something he didn't do, as the court have confirmed. All you've ever done is been against us DC, and I have no doubt that you would have been far happier with a guilty verdict regardless of the fact that the lads were innocent. :017:

A phobia is something one has an irrational fear of - I am not homophobic as I do not fear homosexuals. Infact I know some people who are homosexual and they are perfectly pleasant people. What I object to is the teaching of homosexuality in schools or the public declaration of homosexuality as a normal way of life. However I agree with those posters who say it is not for the government to choose such things for people - as far as I'm concerned, what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is no business of the state. Where it becomes unacceptable is when it is taught to schoolchildren as normal and acceptable, and when these people try to take it out onto the streets, parading or demanding more rights for it. And regarding my support for marriage being for, to paraphrase "heterosexuals, whites and Nick Griffin supporters" - of course they must be heterosexual, as homosexual relationships are not recognised as having the same legal status as marriage. As for race, that is completely irrelevant, I deplore racism and racial hatred in any form. And people, as long as they don't committ any illegal act or express desire to do so, can support whoever they like - that is the workings of a democracy.

A 17 year old member of the Cornerstone Group? Get invited to many parties Tom? Yes actually :P I don't allow my politics to interfere with my social life... Also some members of the Cornerstone Group are former members of the infamous Bullingdon Club at Oxford... Famed for its excessive partying :P And yes Caley Stan, a vital lesson learnt from ICT :P

A man almost as far from my own heart as possible it seems. Just curious though, what is it that makes you support them? Or be so Right-wing? Since i first got into politics and looked at the issues it was clear to me I was a conservative (small c), and it was after long deliberation I decided to join the Conservative Party. The reason being that David Cameron and other Tory leaders in recent years have moved the party into the centre to win over floating voters, and have advocated what Cameron refers to as a new "liberal conservatism". If Cameron considers himself a liberal conservative then I am most certainly a conservative conservative B) Despite this I do like Cameron and believe he will make an excellent Prime Minister after the election. Socially I believe that the party's distancing itself from opposition to immigration and increased gay rights is incorrect, however it is nice to see the party still stands firm for supporting the family. These are the sorts of issues I believe in and I believe the Conservatives are the best party for me. There is a faction within the Conservative Party's MPs called the "Cornerstone Group", trying to promote what it views as the "Cornerstones" of a successful and moral life - Faith, Flag and Family. It advocates support for the Church of England, the family unit and patriotism. Were I a Conservative MP I would certainly be quick to associate myself with this group! The one area I majorly disagree with the party on is over protectionism - while it has been seen as a fundamental Conservative policy in the past to oppose protectionism in the economy, I actually view it as beneficial for the most part and necessary in some circumstances. So I suppose I am a fairly unusual Conservative Party member (not the least being that I am 17 years old and live in Scotland - Not exactly Conservative core vote), but I would say while I agree with the party enough to become a member, there are quite a few policy issues I do not agree with and hope to see the party alter. In short, that the party has moved too far into the centre and needs to, on most issues, return further to the right.

Although the topic conversation has gone beyond posters simply listing their political stance, I've only just read the thread so I'm taking it back to the start And am no doubt going to make myself immediately even more unpopular by declaring I am a member of the Conservative & Unionist Party, and would place myself on the further right of the party.

That is more or less correct. It's at Grant Street Park from 9:30am - 4pm on Sunday 30th August. Can Charles confirm that Kenny Dalglish will be there?

ONE - Possibly, although with things like Hillsborough it is very difficult to talk about it without it evoking strong emotion in me! TWO - The woman infront of him lost her son at Hillsborough. Fans pay the players wages. You'd expect someone to be able to sit there, keep their mouth shut and show some respect at a memorial service anyways, much more so when she's paying his wages. THREE - thats a poor argument. He's there now, he can do something. Booing a cabinet minister who occupied Burnham's position ten years ago won't solve anything! Showing Mr Burnham the strength of feeling about this could persuade him to act! FOUR - Ask the media! Its not our fault if the media take an interest in it. FIVE - I wouldn't dispute that for a second, but neither would i publicly (or privately) describe any attempt at memorial of such events as "pish". SIX - No one forced you to watch it! SEVEN- Thats fine, but 15th April isn't just another day of the week for us. EIGHT - Please try and show some respect! These people may not have meant anything to you but they did to me and thousands of others. I understand your refusal to fake emotion - for example something like the tsunami - that definetly didn't make me happy, and it was a horrible thing to happen and i feel for those involved, but i didnt shed any tears - presumably this is your stance on Hillsborough. Thats fine, i understand completely. Where it becomes unacceptable as far as Im concerned is when you come on a forum like this and launch scathing attacks on what was a memorial service, and show complete disrespect for the dead and their families!

Yes CaleyD, it is generally expected that whilst at a memorial service, one should refrain from making light of the fact that people have died, and refrain from showing disrespect, especially whilst the woman sitting infront of you lost her son at the disaster. I can't believe you are publicly asking why one shouldn't behave like that at a MEMORIAL SERVICE. Its just respect. And if the UK has slidden away from that, I certainly welcome the slide back to it.

Just wondering whether the debate over BNP leader Nick Griffin being invited to Buckingham Palace actually provoked any reaction from the public, or whether it was just whipped up by the media. What would your reaction have been had he gone? Having difficulty adding a poll to this btw, anyone help?

Totally bang on!!! Why have I suddenly been engulfed with all this Hilsborough stuff? 442, when Saturday comes, world soccer, football focus, bbc, ITV, channel 4 have all wasted my time this week with this. I know it happened. We all do. We can think about it, or pay tribute any day we want. One of the guys on football focus last week said "it makes playing football seem so insignificant on a day like this". What? A day like this? You mean a Saturday? WTF? It's a horrible way to die but, why does no one critisise the fans at the back pushing to get in, and therefore making the police panic, and open the gates? People die everyday. How many soldiers died in WW2? How many people care? How many people died at Hillsborough? We ALL have to care. Total pish. There is so much imbalance in the world. Chalres Intadje has done Fuk all wrong there but, because everyone is $hiting themselves incase they are accused of not doing the right thing, the club have to act. This is the same reason every media organisation has paid a tribute this week. What about the Juve fans at Hysel? Rangers fans at Ibrox? Ivory coast fans? My Uncle died in the Hillsborough disaster and although it happened before I was born and I never met him, I find both of your comments deeply offensive. The speech CaleyD is referring to their was by Culture minister Andy Burnham. It was interrupted as he forwarded the PM's promise not to forget the 96. The crowd reacted as that is really an empty promise given the 20-year fight for justice. Fortunately the Government has since ordered the release of all police files regarding Hillsborough, so the hope is something will finally be done about this. With regards to Itandje, if you can't be bothered to sit there and keep your f*****g mouth shut for 20 minutes to pay repsect to 96 innocent people who had their lives crushed out of them, then you don't deserve to have any association with Liverpool FC. It is absolutely beyond me how people are on here defending his actions at a MEMORIAL SERVICE. How can you defend someone laughing and dancing around with a grin whilst families all around you, mourning the deaths of a husband, a dad, a wife, a son, the people closest to them. He was a DISGRACE. "What? A day like this? You mean a Saturday?" - No. A day for remembering the ninety-six innocent people who died 20 years ago. That comment is extremely offensive. The 15th of April isn't just another day in the calendar for us. It might be easy to say "only" 96 people died that day, but each & every one of those 96 were people. They were individuals with families, loved ones. While the world might see one of them as just one of the 96, each one was to someone, their one. Their only husband, only son, only dad. You go and talk to their weeping families, and then tell me its just another day. Tell me then that 20 years on is "just a Saturday". Thats a disgraceful, offensive thing to say. "Total pish." - You are a poor excuse for a human being.

Agree, but referring only to that tackle and possibly the entire Falkirk game. Not relegation in general...

Much appreciated IHE :thumb04: We are happy to begin this new arrangement at your discretion
