yep it would appear 3 of the people i stuck down on the ballot got a seat. Should have twigged that 'scotland for marriage' was in fact 'the christian party' The deathnail of the lib dems in scotland will be if Charles kennedy retires from 'Ross, Skye & Lochaber' and heads to the house of lords. Without him they will automatically lose the Highlands at the next General Election which could mean they go 4th behind the tories

Lib dem, green and the 2 SNP blokes got my votes (not revealing the order) The only leaflets I had through the door were from the Tories, The Union party and 'scotland for marriage' - PR really does let some fuckwits start a party. I was handed a leaflet by the socialists outside Partick station and a lib dem reluctantly handed me one outside the polling station (all too happy to hand it to the pensioners in front of me but apparenlty he didnt think I was worth it ) It appears my votes had no bearing on the result since Labour once again romped to victory in Glasgow.

The lack of tarmaced drives and custom made suits?

Cant comment on your experience Dave but during my final year of uni I was wandering the corridors looking at the final presentations of the 1st & 2nd years. The tutors etc were bragging on about how proud they were and yet all I saw was laziness and severe lack of effort from both parties. That was in the space of 4 years so either we were something special or they lowered the bar drastically. In the cold light of day I think my degree certainly wasnt worth the hassle and stress it caused. it all started going downhill when they brought in this tuition fee malarky. I believe pre 1998 you were subject to more strenous interviews or maybe even had to follow the yankee example and had to write essays saying why they should take you because the Unis were only given a certain amount of cash and had to show proper results at the end of it. Now its all about how many students you can get £2000 - £9000 a year out of and results have taken a back step. My course was meant to have a total of 15 places. They let in 35. The other section was meant to have 50 places but they let in 90. I cant believe that was the only one. However I have a slight prejudice to any degrees that arent essentially job titles. Doesnt matter when you got them, yer all a waste of space And anyone who says they are 'reading' a subject is a fuckwit IMO

Nah Motherwell wont at both Ibrox and fir park Hibs only managed a win and a draw at Easter Road

Trip to champions league chasing Newcastle and then finishing up at home against relegation battling QPR as opposed to Man Us home match against Swansea and finishing away to Sunderland - 2 teams who have little other than pride to play for This is far from over

shite 0-0 draw

Its a nice 'black & white' view of how things would have turned out but doesnt take into account the human factor Any team in that period of time could have been on a good run then unfortunatley had to go to ibrox and been on the end of a shite result which knocked them off the rails and allowed us or the Tic etc to pull clear. This is why im optimistic that should yon currants vanish within a few seasons celtic would be knocked off their high horse because they wouldnt have their friends across town to trip them up

is she married to Szcz?sny? Or are you suggesting that he would jump ship from North London because one of his fellow countryman now works in a north east Supermarket?

Tape up his feet?

West Brom allowing the FA to speak to Roy Hodgson

Caption comp anyone?

Thats not what the caption says

Point out the exact moment in yon clip where Renton says 'scotland is shite'

Mulgrew starting the onslaught at parkhead? thats 15 mins in but I havent heard David Begg mention any protests from the Ibrox Loyal

Send yer invoice to the roads department, the residents of Pittodrie street, Pittodrie place, merkland road & merkland lane, the golf Clubs on Golf Road, Scottish water and many others. While yer at if if you can send an invoice to Messrs D Copperfield, T Cooper, Seigried & Roy, Merlin, & Gandalf who will then magic up the estimated 50-60million to build that

There is no evidence to say the land is even worth £1 but a large site close to the city centre and beach with outline planning permission for X number of houses/ flats in one of the few places in the Uk which still has a property market should see the likes of Barrats, Cala, Stewart Milne, Wimpey and many other large developers sniffing blood. A site that large isnt going to be snapped up by joe bloggs and his mates. There are developers with cash looking for sites all over scotland at the moment. There just arent that many large ones available My question to you was would you still be asking how the club affords if a bidding war broke out and they did end up getting £30million for them. You havent answered that one. This is a list of the teams down in england who entered administration around about the time they moved to new stadiums Southampton - After relegation from the premiership Derby County - After Relegation from the premiership Darlington - Serious questions need to be asked as to how they let that guy run them for so long and why they moved to a stadium 3 times the size of their old one. 3 administrations in 12 years one of which came 6 years before they moved. Leicester City - Relegated from the premiership just before they moved there Northwich Victoria - See Darlington These are a list of clubs who went into administration after redeveloping their stadiums Bradford City Plymouth Argyle Ipswich Town Cambridge United Port vale (construction still not complete) Wrexham Halifax Town (construction still not complete) Not even going to bother listing all the ones who went into adminsitration without doing anything to their stadiums but a few highlights are Leeds, Rotherham, Luton, QPR, Hull & Portsmouth What is the point of this? You can enter administration with a shite old ground or a brand spanking new stadium. The factors are not living within your means, letting very stupid people run your club into the ground in the quest for glory & money and in some rare cases a complete unforeseen turn events which no one could have accounted for. Where does it say the new stadium was to generate cash for higher paid players? As I recall the new stadium plus proper training facilities are hopefully going to help remove the ‘fuck they are miles away, and they train on a beach. im no going there’ which has been a factor over the last 20 years. You do not hike up player wages just because you get slightly higher crowds. Clubs that did that feature in the lists above. These days only clubs such as Man united, Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal etc redevelop their stadiums to line their coffers – Having 5 year season ticket waiting lists helps a lot. Most clubs redevelop because their old ground is falling to pieces so doesn’t meet uefa or SPL criteria or HSE regulations (stand closures). It is only a matter of time before the main stand is closed permanantly and redeveloping it (if we could find the cash) will be done at a loss because of the restricted space available. A 4 star UEFA stadium in Scotland (other than celtic park-4 stars seriously it is) can also be used for rugby, League and cup semi finals, concerts, exhibitions etc. Making money for AFC isn’t just a matter of getting dons fans to cough up cash. Lastly if Milne and co base the absolute min season costs of AFC based on 1-3 visits by rangers fans (which doesn’t make as much money as the media claim) or just say a fuck it lets stay in the shite the uncertainty of Scottish football because one club is on the brink then I will be seriously disappointed. Like him or not Milne is a business man and he didn’t create one of the largest construction firms in Scotland by dumb luck and relying on other companies. You keep stating you don’t see the new stadium as viable but have not yet put forward an alternative solution which is feasible. Please start doing so

Think Trump needs to take a swatch at the design for his hotel/ clubhouse before he starts preaching about how ugly turbines look.

Shall we expect lots of broken windows at Hampden along with a selection of Keyed cars, broken aerials and slashed tyres?

This extra revenue issue really needs to be looked at. It has been customary for some lower league teams with stadium capacitys of less than 3000 to move their scottish cup ties against the OF to larger stadiums. Part of this is for revenue but it has sometimes also been on advice from the cops who did not think they could adequetly police old firm travelling fans at these places. Im lead to believe segregation in the 2nd & 3rd division is pretty much non existant so suddenly part time clubs on limited budgets are being asked to fork out for extra stewarding and policing twice a season. A bill which a sell out crowd at say bayview or Clifton Hill may not match. So are they to be forced to move their games to larger venues in which they will also have to cover the cost of rent?

Least he wont be blamed for missing a penalty this time

Aye because its really easy to save up 20% of yer prospective house's value as a deposit with a couple of bits of overtime
