I see St Mirren have the lunchtime game at Motherwell. Perhaps their fans couldmake the short trip to Airdrie afterwards, to pay tribute to the player they secretly admire.
-
Maybe they would work if they just had the right leaders? :angry:

Ther's an article on BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t..._ct/8474486.stm

I've always thought that people tend to start out with ideologies and strong views from either wing, and then gravitate towards the middle as life experience shows them the downsides of their earlier principles. I remember at Tom's age putting forward the view that euthanasia should be not just optional, but mandatory, once a specified age is reached (I think 80 was the arbitrary point I deemed people to cease to be useful). It seems ridiculous now, but in centuries to come in Starchief's scenario of a changing world, who knows. Global overpopulation, rising sea levels, not enough food etc.

I fully expect Rossco to commemorate this milestone with either a goal or a red card.

I think Chris has got is spot on. Scientific advancement has indeed played a huge part in improving the west, and the world. What makes it happen? Capitalism. Companies, even universities, develop things in order to make money. If there was no profit potential they simply wouldn't do it. Starchief is right though that over time the balance of power will change, and it will swing towards the far east. Again, it will happen because of the increased adoption of capitalism by the likes of China.

I think the first examples of a club selling its name to a sponsor were in the Welsh Leagues. Llantasffraid became Total Network Solutions, and when that company disappeared, they changed it to The New Saints to keep the TNS abbreviation. (A bit of trivia - they actually play their home games in Oswestry, England). And there's Airbus UK and Corus Steel as well. The problem is that in all likelihood, a team will have to change its name every few years when they change sponsors, or the sponsor goes through a change or takeover.

Getting back on topic, you're into feminism then?
-
It's a small step from tenable to terrible though.
-
In light of our current league position, how about "I can't believe it's not better".
-
Yes, a lady, because she had the moral decency to leave the bar first. In some parts of Scotland she'd be called a prude. (In others, she'd be called very frequently!)
-
We could just sell the rights to Caledonian Brewery and become Caledonian FC.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/taysid...ral/8471740.stm :) Who should we sell our club naming rights to?
-
A couple of rugby players? Edit to add : Perhaps they just got the urge for some rucking practice.
-
Being here is better than being on the dole, I suppose, but I've got my my agent working flat out to get me out of this backwater and up to the level where I belong. Call me cynical!

Out of interest, how do you know this? Diamond earring, always a give away. Well if it's good enough for Maradona.....

I clicked on the link to Dougie and saw that Struan Scott-Woodhouse is one of his friends, so I clicked on him and had to raise a wee smile when it helpfully asks "Not the Struan Scott-Woodhouse you were looking for?"
-
Very few sports commentators have ever been so widely respected by viewers and participants. And he was the only good thing ever to come out of Hawick.
-
Getting too personal here, let's get back to the match please.
-
Was Terry experimenting here to see how well covered we are if one or two left backs get released this month?
-
Interesting that Algeria were involved in this dull 0-0. They were controversially knocked out of the 1982 World Cup after Germany and Austria (?) passed the ball along the back 4 to get the 0-0 result both those sides needed to go through.
-
When was the last time ICT won a game against the odds? Last March? I'd forgotten how good it feels.
-
Rossco has played in most positions for us at some point over the years.
-
Great result, and completely unexpected for me.

Somebody from Bremerhaven, if I'm reading it correctly. Looks like they've been to the stadium, with pics of the pie kiosk and a comment that they don't sell beer or bratwurst. http://www.caleythistle.de/
