  1. Its that sort of thinking that helped fucked over the housing market For the same price I paid for my 2bed flat which is a renovated tenement I could have had a brand new modern one just up the road that had bedrooms literally half the size of mine (if ya can fit a double bed in its a double bedroom. fuck having wardrobes, floor space etc), a kitchen/living room that is smaller than just my living room and 1 parking space (I have a selection to choose from) Why was it the same price? because it was brand new but it is now worth about 40-50% less than it was when bought. Tenement flats have dropped a max of 20%
  2. They are shit to live in. Cheap to make, quick to build, people will buy them because they are brand new and look nice in the brochure. Then the cheque clears and they realise that theres no storage, the rooms are all tiny and those apparent quality finishes are actually that great. Build each house for £50k. sell each house for £150k. 100 house development nets you 10million profit You think developers get rich by 'spending' money?
  3. quite frankly it is people like you that are ruining the game by daring to suggest that such a link exists and that you might sully my good name by revealing it
  4. surely mackie and co and score 5 against just 3 casuals
  5. So the trick is to launch the award at high speed towards his napper rather than just hand it to him?
  6. Add to that 'This is the worst home defeat in Europe since the 3-1 defeat to Torino'
  7. So we wouldnt have lost 5-1 if severin and Lee Mair had stayed?

  9. Fuck Thursday night. Far as im concerned that is a game for the youth team with a couple of borderline first teamers. The cover is required for August 15th when celtic come a calling. Spending too much time chasing a player is a bad idea but even worse is signing someone up wthout putting any thought in to it. I really hope the opening line in the negotiations isnt 'so can ya be in the czech republic for Thursday morning. If it is they may as well stick the ball gag in and bend over the players agents desk.
  10. Im gonna go out on a limb here see this Milne character He went form having about £200 in his pocket to form one of the biggest development firms in the UK amassing a personal fortune of several tens of millions. He then made a real mistake by investing in his local football club for which i will be fucking amazed if he has EVER seen a return on his money. He is not a stupid man so he will be looking to jump ship at the first opportunity to end this drain on his finances so ask yourself why he hasnt? If he walks with no replacement the club goes under. Fans like you lynch him If he walks and hands control to some wannabe who takes the club under he will be blamed for the demise, not the new guy. fans like you lynch him From this I conclude that he hasnt walked because either 1) NO ONE wants his job 2) Those that have expressed an interest dont have the money or the intelligence to keep the club alive. The club is apparently 'nearly standing' on its feet' you say. I see that as 'we are actually not making a loss each season, keep this up and we might actually start to clear this debt and show we are worth being invested in.' Do you see it as 'we are all fixed now so start giving us moneyto blow on over inflated wages so we can have 1 or 2 good seasons before the taxman comes a calling and we end up worse off than before? I cleared my overdraft a couple of years back. Ill tell ya the last thing on my mind when i did that was go out and immedietly spend a few thousand to put me right back where I started from.
  11. Roy Aitken 2-0 vs Rangers
  12. wiki says 300k, soccerbase says 250k last player we forked out JUST £750k on was a complete waste of fucking money Sorry for editing Tom, but I break out in an uncontrolable rage every time I see that name
  13. Preece - £300k Belabed - £100k Zerouali - £300k Solberg - £300k He managed to get Heikenen, Bisconti, Stavrum, Kjaer, Dadi, Thornley and Fabiano for free.
  14. How is the wife these days?
  15. I dont recall seeing any dons player being able to 'out muscle' anyone since Shearer retired and Windass left. In fact the one time i was at pittodrie early in the morning to get tickets (about 7 years back now) the entire squad walked past me and I died a little inside when I realised our entire first team seemed to be half my size (that included the goalies) The squads physical size doesnt seem to have improved since then (well fucking derek young is still about for a start) Its about time they signed someone whose career wouldnt be ended if i bumped into them in the street
  16. Why the hell do they keep saying we lost 3-1 at home to Torino? I was there but was this game really worse than Skonto Riga? (yes I know that was a 1-1 draw but im going by my dads memory of the game)
  17. Ginola must be getting very frustrated on the touchlines Taffarel must be pissed off with this nelson boy getting a 1 year deal too
  18. Ill have you know that barcelona humped them
  19. recall my dad getting threatened by some shaven headed muppet after dodds' goal because he said 'what a jammy bastard'. Dont recall what happened to shaven headed fuckwit
  20. Meanwhile, back in Albania 8-1 EIGHT BLOODY ONE EIGHT ONE To MOTHERWELL!!! They're a team of OLD AGE PENSIONERS!!! The centre forward wears glasses...DURING THE MATCH!!! eight GOALLSSSSS 4 of them from backpasses to the goalkeeper!! ooooh..they were the worst oooooooooh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmLDlpapPKE
  21. According to the BBc results page we lost
  22. The EPL packages that ESPN bought for this season are only for matches played at 530pm on a saturday and 8pm on a monday. As of next season they lose one of those packages which as far as I see it leaves sundays free for SPL coverage. Potentially even a midweek game or 2. So where is the scheduling conflict?
  23. Im I correct in thinking this Old firm each fork out 1.25million to each non old firm spl team they then go and sell the rights to sky and ESPN for say 40million (who the fuck else is going to buy it?). They then collect 20million each (7.5million profit) because it was their product to sell in the first place. Im willing to my share in Padre that if us, the arabs and co decide hun tv is the way forward the agreement we have to sign will contain the clause - for this 2.5million you give us the right to decide when we play matches against you even if it totally shafts your fans. There in lies the tv equivalent of 'give us money to sell tickets for your games' Or am I way wde of the mark?
