Been told that’s Mark O’ Hara and Lewis Mayo confirmed as signed today. Clear Robinson is serious about adding that physicality and league knowledge going by these two if confirmed. No word on Gogic yet sadly, I wait in hope…

Peter Murrell remanded in custody. Looks like a significant prison sentence for him.

https://inews.co.uk/news/kitchen-stone-workers-sillicosis-uk-ban-3226989 Slight detour from poltical party politics but this is one of the stories up for the Private Eye Paul foot award. From 2024 but conerning the UK governments seem to be reluctant (or perhaps decided there is no money) to act on this particularly given the asbestos compensation scheme is still going on

It's not ignorance to know nothing of the bureaucratic system. Local councillors should be allowed a degree of leeway to get used to the workings of what is most likely a complex (unnecessarily complex) system. Just as any employee who's new to a job would be. Would you really want a system where local councillors are voted in, not for their ideas and creativity, but for their ability to administer and cater to a bureaucracy? Would you want candidates with fresh ideas that might break down administrative barriers, or those that are led by them? Are those Reform councillors ignorant? Almost certainly. For not immediately getting to grips with the bureaucratic system, not so much. A competent individual should be able to get up to speed quite quickly, of course, but to exclude people on technocratic grounds is indeed undemocratic. If those bureaucratic procedures are out of reach of the elected representative then their complexity is, necessarily, undemocratic. Regardless of whether Reform are a bunch of cunts or not.

U2 - With Or Without You

Michael Gove said we’ve had enough of experts

St Mirren could make history today by becoming the first Scottish club to be relegated in the same season that they won a trophy. Good luck to them.

I think they call it youthspeak

What language is this?

Yengi & Ambrose?

Thing is, does anyone have any principles any more? Money rules and has ruined football. It’s mercenary football for the most part now, I suppose more so in bigger league though to be fair. How many players stay for loyalty or love of the club. You can make so much money in football now that sets you up for life. Would Miller or McLeish have stayed at Aberdeen if man utd offered them 10 or 20 times their wage?? back in ‘67 Celtic won the European cup with every player born within 10 miles of parkhead. Now they only have two scots who regularly make their starting line up. Rangers wouldn’t sign Catholics. I remember when mark Walters signed for rangers, that brought quite a reaction. You still don’t see many players play for rangers and Celtic, but it happens. Obviously we have our hatred for rangers, but it’s very different times now and do some fans maybe have ‘old fashioned’ expectations? id take bojan back, don’t grudge him for the career decisions he made. Saying that, I’ve said before i’d sign rangers or Celtic players without question, but I’ve lived abroad for over 30 years so maybe I’m a little out of touch? I’m my lifetime Robertson, snelders, Steven and Scott wright, Barron, jack, trying to think of who else went to ibrox. remember being gutted when tattie cooper went to rangers. Even dougie bell who I thought was a super player. Obviously dons legends there, cooper especially. I also thought Jim bett was an excellent dons player, but one who came from rangers. what’s the difference with bojan here? if anything isn’t the blow softened that he didn’t go straight to rangers, and came back to Scotland earning a lot more money and rangers offered more than we could. Cooper was clearly a fans favorite, a local lad, and loved the club. Very different, but bojan was a very popular and likeable guy. Don’t recall bojan saying anything negative about us…..but I could be wrong?

Basically Hearts were set to lose Shankland for free last summer, but wanted one more year out of him - which worked well since it almost brought the title. They're fairly relaxed about it as they expected it to happen and have two replacements lined up. I do wonder what this means for Miovski though. A few years ago you would have needed to pay big money to sign Shankland & Miovski together. Rangers have got them both for a fraction of the cost. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Miovski is moved on this summer.

Love TNA. I even went to see them live in Usher Hall . They do a US version too. Similar to TRIP, Catty K and the Mooch are pretty good even though he’s been a Trump enabler. Pod Save America is decent too. I’m pretty addicted to Bilndboy, have been for years. Seeing him live for second time in October. Three Bean Salad also fun.

Just following the U.S. who are already living idiocracy.

There was a time (or at least it seemed to me) that if you were perhaps a bit ignorant on a subject or perhaps not qualified for something you kept quiet/ low profile to conceal this until such time as you figured out enough to get by. Now it seems for some people if you dont know something/ have fuck all qualifications for a job the tactic is to go on the attack and/ or celebrate your ignorance. We elect these people potentially leading to a situation like Rob Grant's book 'Incompetence' before sliding into the movie 'Idiocracy'

My wife just knocked out all three episodes this evening, she loved it. Was crying at one point. I don’t think she was overly impressed when she asked if I wanted to watch it and I said not just now, I might watch it on my own later

Belgrano come from 2-1 down with 8 minutes left to beat River 3-2 to win the Apertura title. Excellent game.

Some decent football on tonight. Premier Sport has final of Argentine Apertura on Premier Sport with River currently 2-1 up on Belgrano in 2nd half. On Channel 4 YouTube it’s African Chamopns League final between AS FAR of Morocco and Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa. 2nd half about to start.

It’s a three year contract but there is a clause that allows Shankland to walk for nothing as long as triggered before a set date.

The beauty of it is the fact that Jambo fans thought he was on a 3 year deal. Delicious. I’d take Miovski back in a heartbeat without shame (not a loan!). If this season has taught me anything about myself it’s that I have zero principles when it comes to football.

Cap off a truly honking season

But it was just in effect, a one year deal wasn’t it? Not really that strange. Hearts obviously said give us one more year and if you still want to move on after that, crack on. He’s a good player Shankland but he ain’t in Miovski’s class. If they sign him and get rid of Miovski they are plain stupid. Really don’t see him being an upgrade on any of the strikers they already have. He’s not even a starter in amongst a very average bunch we have at international level. I’d be far more concerned if the hunnary came out and said they were going to build a team round Miovski.

Most things But not being a Hun cunt Let him rot and reflect on where the love for him went

Another “assassination attempt”. Apparently Trump wanted to play golf but this was the only weekend the shooter had free.
