The spectre of Nick Blackman looms large

Nobody wins for the second season in a row DantheDon has to look after the title again Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows (fourth pl

Was it not the case fans were aware there was a chance they wouldnt be allowed back into the stadiums for the full season and the season ticket sales were seen as a way of helping keeping the teams alive? If so then it isn't fraud. Whilst it is a noble gesture by Motherwell, whether or not it is a good business decison will remain to be seen. Will their fans be happy if suddenly there is another lockdown and Fir park remains completely empty for another year with the club ending up in administration again?

Seen a suggestion that had everyone who voted for an SNP candidate for their constituency had then chosen Green in their list vote, the SNP would have ended up with 63 seats (1 less) but the Greens would have ended up with something like 35-40 most of which would have been snatched from the Tories.

Lib Dems fall even further into obscurity. There was something on the radio coverage about needing at least 5MSPs to be automatically involved with several important parts of the Scottish Parliament. Anyone happen to know the details? In other bullshit, Douglas Ross takes on his 2nd part time political role, so now he can not bother turning up to votes & debates in both Holyrood and Westminster whenever theres a football match he fancies running the line on.

I've no idea but the look on his coupon on the BBC website brings out the schadenfreude

And he did and increased his majority. Labour second also with an increase vote share with the Tory in 3rd and Lib Dem in 4th. Turnout 58% which is 8% higher than last time but still shite. Sturgeon wins her seat so Im not sure what that means for Anas Sarwar. Presume he has a chance of getting in as a 'list' MSP but if not it will be another classic by Scottish Labour. What is entertaining is if the result are accurate, so far Salmond's lot have not recieved a single vote (25 of 129 called)

Call me cynical, but I think the market project is just the next 'union terrace gardens'. They've been trying to do something with 'the green' and the old market for years and this is just the latest piece of PR nonsense to try and deflect from the continuiing deminse of the City centre. Best hope for a new stadium by the beach is to keep the press coverage to a minimum until plans are sorted and contracts are signed The more fancy 3D images that get banded out in the press, the less chance of a project proceeding.....unless its blocks of flats of course

Been quite a sizeable anti snp graffiti campaign around the west end of glasgow and last night there was a small group holding an 'SNP out' banner on the 'bridge to nowhere' which crosses over the M8 just before it joins the kingston bridge. Some ex 'Britain first' muppet is standing as an independent in Sturgeons constituency too and they had a little spat outside one of the polling stations. Large billboard campaign on 'avoiding a hard border with england' too. Given it was raining today the quesiton for me is will the stereotype of the lefty voter not bothering to cast their vote com

Damn you Ryan Hedges! Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows (fourth place & European football guaranteed) 53

Agreed If anyone remembers the 5-3 game at Tannadice I think the arabs had signed 4 - 6 new players just before it and put them all into the team. They finally got their act together late in the second half once they'd made subs (plus the dons defence being its usual charitable self) but in the first it was a turkey shoot. I not sure if any of those arabs signings even made it to the end of the season

That'll be Chris Kane of St Johnstone on the radar of the scout who's job it is to trawl the message boards for ideas

First song I played on my IPOD on the way from Auckland Airport to the city centre (yeah I know its a completely different country) Bit of nostalgia for the film 'Young Einstein'

Only slight consolation is Premier Sports will be pissed off

Nice of St Johnstone to stick the boot in when we are down
