  1. Whilst it's a bold and and honourable idea, I can't see the point in doing it. How does that inspire anyone to finish higher up in the league if there isn't a real benefit? There has to be some monetary or reward. I don't disagree with the euro prize money being filtered through the league, but the actual league prize money should not be shared.
  2. Anyone else watching the debate tonight? Edit: Sturgeon coming across very well and getting plenty of applause. Housing should be a massive topic, far more important than immigration imo. Sick to death of the amount of housing here in London that gets sold off to the Arabs / Chinese and russians. The housing crisis is caused by estate agents and estate agents alone. Fuckers.
  3. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32338932 Surely he should have had all this in place when he was attempting his coup? It's not like he wouldn't have known that this was required
  4. We have a few of those down here and i've always been thoroughly underwhelmed by them. Some nice cakes right enough, but it's expensive for what it is! Farage is a fud, hope he chokes on a cigar.
  5. Excellent post. I've often wondered when the city of Dundeh would realise this, though if I was one of their fans, I don't think I'd want it. Football tribalism and all that. You only have to look at what happened in Inverness (though i'm not sure how well these were supported anyway). But point is, I think that we do have a good sized league now for the size of country that we have. There may be a division too many in the league set up, and maybe making the lower leagues more like the Highland and Lowland leagues to keep costs down for clubs would be a sensible idea. I'd say top 2 would be as they are and the other 2 merge into a regional set up. Jute, you are right: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32332187 Absolute farce, shouldn't have happened in the first instance.
  6. Interesting, I wasn't aware of this at all! Oddly enough, I've actually thoroughly enjoyed the last two seasons, the split has been working and interest has increased. It's not broke, why try to fix it? I would be disgusted if they changed it to ensure the hunnery mk2 got a free pass up the leagues. Scottish football has thrived in their absence. If anything though, I would like the play off system revised, because it's not fair that the Premiership team only has to play 2 games rather than the possible 6 that a fourth placed team would have to.
  7. Probably right on that one. Shame we never had him a few years back really.
  8. Best make sure we beat them then
  9. I see he made his comeback against the loss to Hamilton u-20's the other night. Is that their first loss in months?!?
  10. I'm sure there was a documentary about it? Using old quaries etc...that or it was in Gomorra.
  11. I remember hearing about that on the news actually (the bin strike). Luckily we are heading south I believe, girlfriends folks have a villa hired in the countryside somewhere. I'm hoping the sea has been cleaned out since than, not high on my list swimming with tampons...not the type of deep sea diving I enjoy
  12. Congrats MBT! Not something I'm planning even though I'm triathlon training , all in moderation I say! Actually had a nice local IPA tonight.
  13. Fucking Hun bastards. The spfl should (although never are) be completely ashamed of themselves. Disgraceful behaviour. Hun cunts.

    It's Time

    Calm down rocket, eh.
  15. A disaster that often gets forgotten about by the mouthier cousins. I will most certainly be buying this, terrible tragedy that all clubs have hopefully learnt from.
  16. Was thinking that earlier today, would be nice for one of the "big ones" not to win it. Porto have a good team with depth again And then again, let's all laugh at huns mk 2 Edit: also meant to say as well, Suarez's second last night was sublime. Nutmegging Luiz twice was hilarious!
  17. Suns out, feels like it should be beer O'clock! Think i'll be having one of these tonight:
  18. I've always liked J-Shau and Low, but they just didn't seem to make the grade. Shame really but for the positions they play in, I can't really see them getting much game time in the future. Had completely forgotten we even have Robertson until recently. Hopefully wi_09, that won't happen. Certainly happened with Aberdeen of old, but i'd like to think we're a different club now! Just the authorities to beat now
  19. Plenty more holidays to take after all that's done A few small breaks this year, off to Cornwall for May bank holiday and then Italy in July, around the Naples region. Anyone been before?
  20. Agreed, you'd have thought they'd want to maximise their viewing audience. I really don't want to see those pricks win it at our place, which is probably want those fuckers want.
  21. Very intrigued to see where he ends up. I know a lot of people are targeting Premier League clubs, but who's to say Ancelotti is guaranteed his spot at Real? or even at Barca? I do feel bad for him, always had a lot of respect for Dortmund and it must have been incredibly frustrating. This season especially.
  22. It's really not that difficult...but yes, same shambles as per usual
  23. I see they're delaying the decision due to the police input. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32312805
  24. So the Arabs seem to be in a similar free fall to Hamilton at the moment, so it's the perfect time to play them. They've had one win in the last 5, whereas we've had 3 wins and 2 draws. Head to head, it's been a bit mixed, obviously they beat us 2-1 in Jan. Would possibly stick with the same starting XI as we had last weekend. Though I can see Jack coming in for either Smith or flood, the former more likely. In / Out: Out Pre Matcher: Cycling Match: Flat Post Match: Watching the United - Chelsea game Prediction: 2-1 Dons, Logan and Rooney
  25. I had completely forgotten the champions league was even on until a colleague reminded me. Sounded like the atleti keeper kept them in it, unbeaten in 7 against Real, not bad at all. The English championship is fairly hitting up, incredibly tight at the top! Pretty hard to see who will get promotion / play offs.
