Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but heard them mention on the radio earlier that if we don't score today this is the lowest scoring league campaign since 1917. Awesome.

Not sure I agree. Cheating is cheating. Fixing to lose, or committing fraud on such a grand scale that the results are unnatural seems much of a muchness to me. Imagine, even better than Rangers not being in football anymore, the FANS piss off too!!! I just came.

Lovely wee quote. I'm even tempted to want the English Old Firm side to win the league now that he's involving us! Happy Gothenburg day Fergie

Well said GS. And more importantly, well written.

No reason the governing bodies had to be in cahoots. Though it wouldn't surprise me. And yeah that is far fetched but i don't see them being out of the spl for as long as it'd take to get back from div3. mainly because i don't see them being out at all. we shall see. it'd be all my christmases come at once if i'm wrong

The core of our team is as good as anyone bar OF. But we continually double, treble, quadrouple up on players in that core, instead of bringing in a player capable of making something happen. It wouldn't take a dangerous amount of cash to make us a team that should be qualifying for europe.

I expect that almost as soon as the full-time whistle for this season blows (whether before or after the clubs vote, probably to grant access to spl), either someone will suddenly buy the club, or be in the genuine speedy process of doing it. At best i can see them having no league involvement for a season, then coming back into spl 2013/14. In which case 2012/13 would need us to spunk as much cash into afc as poss, while noisily voicing opposition to newco13/14, in the hope stewarty would back us up and deny them access at the vote a year from now. But what I expect is the same as all along. Stagemanage a delay to fulful their fixtures, then operation whitewash steps up a gear.

As many times as the deadlines have been shifted and goalposts moved I guess

so, expect what we all feared all along. complete with delaying tactics to fulful this season's fixtures, and admittance straight into the spl.

seem to recall folk saying we should sign him when st j got him. guy's an irrelevance.

More like the two parties saw the arrangement in East Renfrewshire to collude with developers in return for kick backs as a strategy ready to be rolled out nationally.

ah well shows what 'experts' know. Labour and the Snip coalition in Edinburgh.

It's been delayed because it's a stage-managed charade to see them get to the end of the season - and avoid the further punishment that would come about if they didn't Even though it's not true, the line that the other clubs 'need' der hun is fairly damning of the spl's governing body. They've presided over the creation of a system which, in their view, relies upon the presence of a corrupt member. That's as far from sustainable or in the best interests of Scottish football as it's possible to get. That's not even taking into account that the only reason rangers got into the position of being allegedly needed, is the success they've had over the years because they were corrupt in the first place. If something that means so much to so many people in Scotland as football can be so openly rigged, and the public sit back and impotently allow it, then what is there that business, government etc CAN'T get away with? What is the matter with people in Scotland/UK that they just accept this totalitarian bullshit as it gets worse and worse to Kafka-esque proportions??? The banks gambled with all our money as if it was their own, lost it, then made us pay them back for it. The energy companies collude to raise prices astronomically. The NHS is being dismantled, and the most vulnerable in society are being trampled on to keep the elite in their ivory towers. And now the only release a lot of people have from the hideous corruption of real life is also so hideously corrupt that they don't even bother to hide it anymore. Short of death squads I can't see how our society could be more fucked.

what's an 'internet'?

The proposal, and expected outcome based on the manifestos being most similar was a Lab/LD/Green coalition. Instead Lab decided to sook some Tory cock (rather than just borrow their policies).

edinburgh council going to be a coalition between labour and the tories. maybe that'll finally help the penny drop with tribal labour voters that they're a right-wing party who'll happily shit on the workers like their blue mates. labour died along with john smith. the first transferable vote type of arrangement is great. Means that if you support a minority party you want to see grow, you can, and still have your 2nd preference go towards the 'least worst' option. Made a good show for the greens in london, while almost working to get rid of boris, but sadly ken is such a repugnant cunt that they couldn't carry it off.

Also, Martin Ford, the "traitor" who cast the deciding vote to block Trump's golf course (before being sacked, and the corrupt government forcing approval through) won a seat in Aberdeenshire.

If the SPL/SFA do roll over will we get the supporters of other clubs together and march on Hampden in a last ditch attempt to stop this corruption and show our chairmen how many tickets they'll miss out on? As far as I can see, that's the only thing the fake media have paid any attention to. Could be an attraction for casuals right enough...

as an aside, scottish BBC sports journos were saying yesterday that new bbc guidelines forbid them replying to or re-tweeting anything a member of the public aks/says to them. This was then said to be bollocks from an english journo. Basically, expect even more succulence.

attendance 5,000 and some spare change.

Was just thinking that myself.

Without at least some indication that the club realise our summer rebuilding has to involve more than just playing staff I'd find it hard to respect the board etc any less. A new coach and/or assistant manager, or possibly even manager have to be in place before the end of next month. Shambolic.

Why the cunting fuck is that cunt reynolds even on the fucking pitch??? A loan player who's said he's offski?! Put on a youngster and send that useless prick back to fucking Sheffield. Jesus h tittyfucking christ

Could be wrong but i thought RM. I'll say, Clangers Jack, Ando, Reynolds, Consi Masson, Arni, Fyvie, Magennis Rae Vernon It says a lot that I wrote all that out before it even occurred to me that Magennis could be playing up front
