  1. The Supreme Court will demolish the "common sense" verdict in my view. They deal in facts not feelings and views and if there is no specific rule or law that prevented Oldco using EBT's (which there isn't) the SC will have no option but to uphold BDO's appeal.
  2. Confirmation that Spence is an imbecile, unable to form his own opinion repeating the disinformation that his social network "friends" feed him. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost.
  3. When you consider that the average age of the team that walloped Alloa on Saturday was just 22, we have to be happy with the way they've played. The system is still new to (most of) them and in particular the back 4 which has been evident in the games where we have lost goals. My concern is whether they are good enough to apply Warburton's system in games against better opposition. St Johnstone sprung our split centre halves twice and Hibs scored two goals from positions that should have been taken care of much earlier in the play.
  4. Peering into the psyche of some Rangers fans is enough to drive you to drink and let's not even mention the other lot. Barking.
  5. Stephen Thompson is trying to buy an Australian club so the obvious conclusion is that he's trying to liquidate as much cash out of Dundee Utd as possible. I don't understand why Utd fans aren't absolutely enraged by this, he's doing an SDM on them and they're sleepwalking towards oblivion.
  6. I'm sure it'll be fine and you'll be back on your feet in no time. All the best from all of us.
  7. Are you sure it wasn't a lump of fois gras left over from your last roman banquet?
  8. My Airdrie supporting mates raved about Gasparotto for them last season. The exact words were "strolled through games".
  9. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3217956/Celtic-s-success-three-years-fake-t.html Celtic going top of the league at the weekend was small consolation for the total embarrassment of yet another season without making the Champions League proper. This is the team that is comfortably the best in Scotland, yet they are clueless when it comes to mixing it with European also-rans from Sweden. Hard to believe that three years ago this once great club actually beat Lionel Messi and Barcelona on a wonderfully memorable night in Glasgow. A few months before Victor Wanyama and Tony Watt – now at Southampton and Charlton respectively – had seen off the Kings of Catalonia, Celtic's city rivals Rangers had been demoted to the Scottish Third Division. Celtic fans were loving life but fast forward three years and you can see how much damage has been done to the Hoops, with the only club capable of pushing them or surpassing them dispatched to oblivion. This week as Celtic yet again go on a raid of the sides below them for talent (add Caley Thistle's Ryan Christie to the names of Scott Allan, Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven), they came from behind to beat St Johnstone and go back above Hearts to the top of the Scottish Premiership. What this all means is that Celtic's policy in recent seasons has been to weaken the rest of the Scottish sides so that there can be no threat to the claim on the title north of the border. The knock-on effect of this is that Celtic are embarrassingly ill-equipped to deal with Champions League qualification games. So Ronny Deila's empty words ahead of the second leg in Malmo, talking up the unbeaten run and the success of his side, came back to haunt him. Celtic were only that good because they stripped Dundee United of the players who might possibly have given the champions a close run for their money. And when Celtic take a glance over their shoulder they probably don't see the real threat racing up behind them. Rangers will come into the Scottish Premiership next season with a winning mentality, the ability to score goals (another five away at Queen of the South at the weekend), a manager who knows what he is doing and has the ability to pick at the English transfer market with knowledge and intelligence (James Tavernier is a sensationally good player, and he's not the only one at Rangers), and an unwritten rule that they will not allow their players to be taken by Celtic. Celtic will face a Rangers side with momentum, angry and fired up for revenge for what that club and its fans have been through. These past three seasons have been 'fake', almost worthless, in Scotland. Assuming everything behind the scenes at Ibrox lends itself to Mark Warburton being allowed to continue doing his job with no unreasonable restrictions, normal service should be resumed in 2016-17. So get ready Celtic, Rangers are coming to get you!
  10. I've just tied 30th Jan, 16th Jan and 12th Dec by going for the former. Be nice to have something to cheer us all up at the end of Jan but I'll go with any date really work/travel permitting.
  11. Just give it time, they'll turn on him for a story without a second thought.
  12. Gerry McCulloch on Clyde never mentioned that when he was giving a gushing report on how Celtic dominated from start to finish.....funny that.
  13. This might be bordering on conspiracy theory but I think the issue lies higher up the editorial chain at Pacific Quay. Guys like McLaughlin and English are just copy filers in terms of their influence over the prominence of stories. What the club (whoever that means) was upset about is the prominence of the arrests and flare story and the location and profile of the story is at the discretion of the editorial management rather than the reporter. Perhaps Tom Connor - Editor, online and sport, is the man we should be taking to task?
  14. Cult status awaits Mr Warburton, he's exactly the man that we needed to reinvigorate the club. I can't help thinking that with every passing week he's making McCoist and Co look like rank amateurs. That view is only going to come into sharper focus I'm afraid.
  15. I suspect a scathing statement is being drafted by the RST right now.
  16. Hallelujah! If this can be made to work, we'd have a really powerful fans organisation to be reckoned with.
  17. No hiding place for any of incumbent passengers now, guys like him and John Eustace if he comes will make sure everybody's pulling their weight. To be a fly on the wall in pre-season
  18. "Then I went to Murray Park and I had the impression in my mind – wrongly – that it was 15 years old and maybe needed a lick of paint." If we're going to attract players at the top of our capability then Auchenhowie must be renovated in line with the facilities that are there.

    Vuckic

    So despite Vuckic scoring goals with both feet and his head in his short time with us, he's a one trick pony? Got it. Don't let logic or subtlety get in the way of a good lynching. Fill your boots.

    Vuckic

    I can see where dB's coming from here, he wasn't comparing Vuckic to LeTissier rather comparing criticism of them both as "one trick pony's" (LeTiissier has been called this for years down south probably from jealous rival fans) . It's not true about LeTissier and it's not true of Vuckic either. Is Pirlo a "one trick pony" because all he can do is score free kicks?
