I'm with Ajja on this!!

I tried some Discworld stuff a few years back. Not totally my thing, but quite enjoyed them. I got 2 or 3 books in, saw how many there were, got overwhelmed, and gave up on them.

Can’t have helped playing in teams who were battling for survival (Queens and now County)

Oh well, that's you completed the genre. There's nothing further to add.

Yes! It’s the greatest of all the ones I’ve read. Absolutely loved it, right up my street! The post war and early stages of the Cold War were the best time for those types of novels. Everyone was gripped by the fear of mass destruction, some belters in that era. They made a TV series recently which wasn’t great of course.

Duncan has the attributes to be a good SPFL player. I always thought he was a central player that was continuously played wide, which didn't suit him. His biggest issue seemed to be a complete lack of confidence, and he'd be jittery as hell on the ball (which he wasn't at Peterhead). I wouldn't be surprised to see him come good in a year or two and make his way back up to the top league.

Great times

Have you read "earth abides" by George R Stewart? It's post apocalypse, from memory. It was written around the time @BigAl went to school I believe, just after the war. The apocalypse would have occurred in the nineties. Which could be true, but everyone was too spaced out on E's to notice.

Is that part of the Duck and Cover series? I’ve read about it but it felt a little too comic bookie for me. I like the rebuild society type post apocalyptic stuff more than the navigating wasteland style. That said, I’ve wasted far too many weeks of my life chewing through some dreadful zombie box sets. The Undead 26 book series was a particular dark spot but it got me through Covid

He was flying at the weekend. Created at least two of the other goals as well.

I liked Mort but I tried a few others and it wasn’t really my thing either. Have you read Post - Apocalyptic Nomadic Warriors? I’m just about to start but I canny really be arsed

Cheers. That hasn’t lifted my confidence I’ve never thought of it as my thing either but thought I should try as I’ve been told it’s worthy. Will see.

He will have seen the pic of Mandy the Y fronts and still gave him the job. Obviously it would’ve been difficult for the wee lamb to say no to his boss but it was still an incredibly poor decision.

Tried some of his books, but couldn't finish them, just not my thing. I haven't a clue what it was I read as it was many year ago.

JBA won't be Motherwell manager next season. Hibs won't improve until they get rid of David Gray. Hearts won't handle European football and league. Rangers will likely change manager again as there's already murmurs of discontent around Rohl. Open goal for us to win everything next season tbh.

If Hearts can repeat their performances against the OF next season, Hibs improve by 10-15%, Motherwell hold onto JBA and obviously we improve markedly then we could start to close the gap collectively. Lot of IFs though

I'm not a Kier apologist, I am very disappointed in him for the most part after having moderate hopes of him being a decent bloke who could do a decent job (more fool me?) - but the press do seem to be making him one of the very few people who will be punished as a result of Epstein and chums sworded world of noncedom......and he wasn't even involved!

That's the thing for me. See if Hearts were to win it, and were then in the running again next season, I'd respect it. It's the fact you just know they won't even be top three next season!

I am still holding out for the orange skinned man child turning the world to ash before any of three win the league.

I had completely forgotten he was still on our books tbh.

Of course some will just accuse the media of a beat up. Can’t be a beat up if it’s all fact.

I’m sticking resolutely to the ‘don’t want hearts to win it’ line rather than wanting Celtic to. Whatever the unintended consequences of them blowing it are is so deep into meh I can’t even express a view. If I was pushed on a choice between the three it would be Celtic then Jambos……Sevco aren’t a consideration, ever. The whole season is an utter disaster but at least I’m not a Hibs fan. Their pain is palpable

Just hoping it’s more lack of confidence and familiarity with system and each other that’s our biggest hinderence rather than just being shit but you are probably right.

Nothing in the MSM today about the trial of the 3 alleged rent boys who set fire to Sir Kiers motors.
