I know I'm wrong and a lot of people will disagree with me for this, but I'd like to think he was treated with all the respect he deserves (ie kicked out of the back of a helicopter from 10,000 ft.)

Except it doesn't even say that! You've got to read between the lines to draw that conclusion.

What a poor statement. Besides spelling Golabek's name wrong, it completely fails to mention the entire purpose of the press release, ie that these players are not being offered new contracts and will be leaving. Looks like a rush job that nobody checked.

Was that the one that he pretty much walked into an empty net? The one from the corner of the box at Brechin was a beaut, and I think even he was surprised he'd placed it so well.

A satirical view

At least it wasn't a tattoo

Maybe he's found another Dan Stratford?

Can't agree with that. I can remember them being a superb midfield engine for the team as far back as 7-10 years ago, and they've individually had some excellent seasons since then.

Having publicly accused the coaches of incompetence and arrogance, is that all you've got to say?

Without the benefit of hindsight, how would those hard up parents have felt about having to pay an even higher contribution for a longer trip? Sod's law, the team might just as easily have been knocked out earlier, and people would be unhappy about the time and cost of having to hang around in Holland for an unnecessary extra night. As an aside, why do these youth tournaments we participate in always seem to take place overseas? Money is tight, so you'd think there would be suitable tournaments in Britain that we could attend, no?

I'll only be watching if the bride turns up in the dress from that fashion show.

Last night I went to see Ed Byrne and laughed when he said "You know Scotland's economy is in a terrible state when the First Minister appears to be hoarding nuts in his cheeks!" But then I thought, hang on, an Irishman mocking our economy and politics!

Just out of interest, why do you think that is a good idea? The beneficiaries will be the likes of Tesco and Diageo who will make an even bigger fortune from the higher margins that they will make from bumping up the prices. If you want to reduce alcohol consumption by making it more expensive, put up the rate of duty instead so that the extra money is going into the public coffers instead.

For me its not a question of who will I vote for, as I have voted already, by post. So much easier than dragging yourself out to a polling station, and it makes you more likely to participate in all the various elections that take place. Highly recommended.

Oops.

If anyone is curious like I was, the fans website name TWTD stands for "Those Were The Days". :sherlock:

Speaking of pie in the sky, the SPL's latest reconstruction plan aims for: * A British Cup * The national team's Fifa ranking to improve from 66th to 15th within five years * The SPL's coefficient ranking to improve from 16th to 10th in five years * Broadcasting revenues to increase by 50% in five years I think they are trying to imply that these are the benefits that will arise from the 10 team SPL, which now looks like going to a vote in May. If it gets approved, some of our aspirations may have to be toned down a bit to reflect the reduced likelihood of us being SPL regulars over the next 10 years.

Good story but I reckon she cut it up because it was such a horrible colour.

Jedward, but without the talent

Have they got any players worth signing?

And don't forget that VAT is 2.5% higher than last year.

To have the same budget next season is actually quite an achievement. Attendances and income are dropping, and I suspect most SPL clubs will have to reduce their budgets.

A lot of people will be at work, for starters. Automatic entitlement to public holidays is less common than it used to be.

It's not often we get a Monday afternoon game
