Feeling confident for this one 2bh despite Hibs recent improvement. I have a feeling the club will have given the players some time off to get home to see families etc and hopefully they will have an extra spring in their step the steps on Sat as a result. I certainly fully expect them to be right on it from the whistle and we should have enough to take the points. 3-0 dons, Keskinen, Sokler and the Scottish Cafu.

Hard to feel too much sympathy for the parents to be honest. If they had raised their kid better then Barron would have would have more about him, instead he stabbed the club and the city that raised him in the back.

Just do what I did with the Qatar WC. Watch on illegal streams rather than tv, I'm glad I did as well as the Qatar world cup was a cracking tournament all in.

It was interesting to see Polvara preferred to Palaversa though Polvara was being played far further forward than Palaversa would be. It's also interesting the extension for Palaversa hasn't been triggered which makes me suspect he would be on a bigger wage if we do and we aint sure he's worth it in the grand scheme of things. Despite the loss I'm not very disheartened, I never thought we would challenge long term but we were very unfortunate not to get something from that.... and if Clarkson takes his chance just before they score then we very easily could have won it. We defo looked far more defensively stable than we have for a while last night which i take the greatest pleasure in. You could argue the conditions hampered celtics possesion based style more than ours but we didn't really give them much all game and credit to Mcgarry who put his shaky performance against hearts in the bin and turned in a really solid one in last night. I really did fear for him last night going up against Kuhn but he dealt with it well. Also huge credit to Doohan, an early stop did his confidence the world of good and looked pretty assured the rest of the game (which eases the mind about Mitov's abcense going forward). I've seen a few grumbles about Keskinen recently and they are not all without merit. I was saying to my pal last night he's just not really lit up a game yet but I'm hopeful it's just a get settled in a new league and country thing and he will show us why we spent big on him in the second half of the season. On wide men, I wouldn't mind seeing vinny get a start on Sat, I thought he looked good when he came on and, like morris, he defo seems to be getting his head up a bit more when on the ball...... Duk on the other hand was far more wasteful and posed little threat bar falling over when losing possesion. Looking forward, ST J is a must win game if we are serious about second but then we are off for 2 weeks.... which I think could be a blessing in disguise as after we are home to hibs, away to Kilmarnock, away to utd, home to county and then away to motherwell in the space of 15 days. That's pretty gruelling but it's the same fixture list for all our opponents and we should be looking to take maximum points from that run of games imo. I'm not saying there are not tough fixtures in there but none of them are getting a free fixture weekend in the build up to it and we have a better squad than all of them.

Actually I think would be 6 stars, they were relegated in 77, 79 and 81. Tinpot fucks

Aye first thing I said to my pal when he came one was "he's lost at least half a stone in weight".

Well, that was fun

I'm get back to this properly when I get to a PC but I saw this this morning and thought I would pass it on. https://blueprint2024.com/polling/why-trump-reasons-11-8/ " The results paint a clear picture: Democrats were punished for inflation, misalignment on immigration and cultural issues, and Biden. The top three reasons not to vote for Harris were: “Inflation was too high under the Biden-Harris Administration” (+24) “Too many immigrants illegally crossed the border under the Biden-Harris Administration” (+23) “Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class” (+17). This suggests that Harris was weighed down heavily by the Biden administration, particularly by inflation and their track record on immigration. Harris was also weighed down by voters’ belief that she focused on liberal cultural issues. In fact, this was the most frequent criticism among swing voters who broke for Trump (+28)." Clearly it wasn't a side issue for those folks.

Jesus fucking wept. This kind of attitude is EXACTLY why the Democrats lost. "well, i don't think this is a big deal so no-one else should and if you do you're a bigot. We know better, just suck it up oiks" 1. Whether you like it or not it's not a fucking side issue at all. As I said prior a lot of people have become single issue voters over it over here (look at the collapse of the female vote for the SNP if you need an example) and I would be very surprised if it's not the same in the states. 2. Where was I when people in positions of authority were raping women? Condemning it whenever I became aware of it. Giving birth in a cell? Also condemning it. The difference here is that in both cases the prison staff are failing in their duty of care and there are processes in place to to discipline them for it and for them to lose their jobs. Prisons are not meant to be holiday camps but, equally, people should be safe within them. It's interesting though that you show concern on those fronts but then show nothing but contempt for woman when you trivialise rape by saying "Or any other far more pressing issues in women's prisons that don't involved getting biffed by a tranny.". Why are you ok with with women getting locked up with males that want to rape them that they can't escape from cos, you know, prison? Genuine question. Also what are these issues in womans prisons that are more pressing that inmates being raped? Again, genuine question. 3 "It's fucking mental how such a side issue has been elevated to something important. It's impressive actually. It started with an attempt to help a relatively small number of people with identity issues, was picked up by the crap-rags who made it the biggest issue of our times" This is not what happened at all. What started out as a very noble cause to raise awareness for those suffering the mental health condition, gender dysphoria, was hijacked and has now basically become a male supremacy movement. Further to that the ideological capture of institutions (see the edinburgh rape crisis centre controversy for example) and the indoctrination of children in schools has further stoked the fire. I feel absolutely gutted for the actually gender dysphoric because none of them wanted this. 4. It's not about "genital history" it's about an emperors new clothes level delusion (namely the concept that sex is not real and immutable) sweeping the world and weak minded people going along with it because they are too scared to offend or be branded a bigot. Hope you enjoyed your wee virtue signal though

I also don't think you can underestimate the effect Identity politics has had on this result as well btw. It's made plenty of people, and not just women, single issue voters over here so no reason to think it won't be over there and I think it is a big reason why so many demographics that would normally vote Democrat heavily weigh in for trump. Most folks don't want to see males in women's sports and prisons and are sick of being called bigots for refusing to pretend that someone wasn't born the way they were. It will be interesting to see the effect a trump presidency has on this issue both domestically and internationally.

Love it!

He can only do 4

Not convinced by that, don't get me wrong though, I do appreciate you are stateside and have a better understanding of American voters and how they are feeling. The reason I'm not convinced is if the Democrats had actually gone through a selection process it would have been someone fresh. Harris was seen as part of the problem already given she was part of the Biden regime and the Republicans, rightly, said "you've been shite for the past 4 years why on earth would it be any better this time round?" A new candidate could potentially have convinced voters they would be moving in a new direction which could have been enough to sway some of the swing states. I think Pie is spot on in that video i posted above when he talked about how Trump will defo make changes. They probably won't be good changes but the electorate had clearly had enough of being patronised by the political class and their supporters and this was "fuck you" vote just like brexit was if you ask me. I do fear for America and what he will do now, he will take the gloves off and push every limit he possibly can.

Pie sums it all up pretty well here.

When did MBT die?
