More importantly, Mulgrew isn't even a left back these days, hence the reason they wanked on about thon useless Tierney fuck. Fair enough pick Mulgrew due to our dearth of good centre halves, but to suggest he's a better left back than Shinnie is ridiculous - he just isn't.

He'll get shot within a couple of months if he gets in. It'll be Hillary though. Hopefully Sanders will walk away and refuse to support her; that'd do her a lot of damage. Whilst I don't think many voters will move from Hillary to Trump, quite a few Sander's voters might just not vote rather than vote for her.

Yep, 'keeper for me too. We've got a good outfield squad, we can afford to prioritise a goalie for next season. A few new faces to stop us going stale also. A striker to replace Church and Goodwillie, and a strong centre midfielder. If the striker isn't a target man, then I'd strongly suggest we get one. The pitches in winter aren't conducive to a passing game, so we need the option to quickly bypass and have our quicker players getting beyond. I think we'd have had at least 6 points extra if we'd had that type of player over the winter this season, which is the difference.

Aye, the coverage is a strange one, what I meant really was: is it explicit? Is there a BBC (or whoever) editorial position that prioritises Western allies' tragic events? Or is it just an unwritten rule? As I say, I'm just curious, I'd be very interested to know how it works and why. Hadn't seen that picture, I sort of get it I suppose. The big thing for me though is that it tacitly allows our governments to continue as is - that image was/is a huge endorsement for Hollande to ramp up atrocities in Syria, and indeed our own government to join in, resulting in more atrocities in our neck of the woods. It gave them permission, and support, for that arm-in-arm leader march thing that happened too, which was fucking weird. The thing is, people should be scared, and angry. Angry at their own leaders for Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, leading to Syria. All of which have led to these events, where previously non-religious thick people can be puppeted to a simplistic death because we were too stupid to integrate and educate them when they first came here. Would you treat an American soldier who blew up a hospital or shot some journalists with the same contempt as a brainwashed Muslim mentalist? I'd like to think they're the same thing. A poor, uneducated person brainwashed into thinking that they're doing the right thing. Anyway, a great piece from one of my favourite journalists, John Pilger. Not on topic as such: http://johnpilger.com/articles/a-world-war-has-begun-break-the-silence-

There was a minute's silence on the BBC at 11am today. Fit the fuck? Was there a minute silence for the Ankara bombings 10 days ago that killed 37? I'm mainly curious. What, or who, is deemed worthy of the hours of coverage, who makes the decision that the Belgian atrocity is worse than the Turkish, what links us to these incidents? These are questions worth asking I think, before the response of Belgian facebook pages, je suis Brusselles and solidarity (was this word ever used before Paris?). As for the sinister grief-tourism that happens after these events, with folk congregating in square/plaza x, y or z with their random candles and public grieving - has this always been a thing (I'm thinking Elvis, Lennon, Diana perhaps)?. It certainly loses its meaning, sincerity and even compassion more rapidly than a minutes applause at a football game. I probably just don't understand the person who finds that it helps them. Typically, I can't walk at the minute, so I'm pretty much stuck in front of the TV/internet with the Belgian monopoly difficult to avoid. I was in a hospital ward when Diana died and had no control over the TV remote, which probably traumatised me.

Good stuff. We've now got one 'keeper on the books. I'd like to see more of McKenna too, hopefully he'll get some game time next season (or this).

Yep, I'd go with that. I think Reynolds has just suffered a loss of form more than anything. I still think he'll play a big part this season. Luckily we can replace him when he goes through that period. Unlike McGinn, who is difficult to replace despite being quite obviously off form.

Zac Goldsmith? Looks and sounds like a Blairite. I expect IDS doesn't give a fuck about the bill in all honesty. It'll be about placing himself on the right side of Euro referendum vote and causing maximum damage to the other side by resigning. Self-serving little cunt.

Couldn't be arsed starting a new thread for this. Fucking hell. You know it's bad when IDS resigns because your policies are too harsh.

Yep, it's impressive, they've got a few good players and play nice fitba. I'd have Vaulks at the dons in a flash. Also, their pitch means they can play decent fitba all year round! I'd like to see Hamilton go down, with Falkirk replacing them. Hamilton's pitch is unacceptable, with Falkirk and Killie's pitches good (indeed better than most SPL grass pitches). Get them up. Fuck the hibees.

Aye, they let them bury them first so they've got a gravestone to smash the shite out of for the cameras. I don't think he his either if I'm honest.

How long til stories start to emerge?

The problem is that anything that doesn't involve us winning the league will be put down to lack of bottle. This side has proven on several occasions that they have the bottle (the recent Tims game being an excellent example). What is in doubt is whether we have the depth of quality. But perhaps we won't need it if Rooney is back soon, Church keeps scoring here and there, and we can keep Shinnie, Logan, Hayes, McGinn (I know) fit for the run in. I'm still on the "keep it going for as long as we can" line. I'm hoping to see us in the same position or better come the split, and then I might start getting excited. 4 points is close, but if it goes to 7 at any point, then our chances will be slim, and we might end the season like we did last. This weekend is key for me. I think it'll be very difficult. I think the Tims will drop points before the split though. We just need to drop the same or less.

Just back fae A&E. Missed the game due to an unforeseen fitba injury. Caught the last 30 seconds on the radio, which was just about as much as I can take when I can't see what's happening. Earlier in the season, I'd have been concerned about these scraped wins, but now it's like we're battling our way to the end of a very good season, against some stuffy teams on some awful surfaces. Hopefully we keep the pressure right on until the split. Motherwell away looks a tricky prospect.

Unacceptable from a national manager. You should have recorded it and put it on youtube. The press would go mental. Oh no, that's right, they couldn't give a fuck about anything not involving the scum, and would find the national manager talking down our game as hilarious and useful. Reminds me of the time I witnesses John Rowbotham doing an after dinner. Talked of giving decisions against certain players and teams he didn't like. Confirmed everything you need to know about refs. Total cunt of a man.

It's a Room, with an upper case R

Good to see McInnes making it clear that Shinnie should have been in the squad(s). He's right to get involved, even though it is through the media.

Excel

Given that only one of the Tims is making the trip abroad (Mulgrew, who's in need of games because he's not long back from injury), it's less likely they'll suffer from exhaustion. I expect the squad was discussed in advance with the Tims.

I'm really excited to see what the young prospect Greer is like at centre half. I've heard a lot of good things about him. Definitely one for the future.

Didn't know that about the ARI consultants, that's interesting. But, yes, the NHS is just one big socialism for the rich vehicle. Fucking subsidy junky cunts. It needs to be installed as a human right in a constitution, with drugs prevented from the right of patent. Thus removing the ability to make a profit through other people's illness. The same with food provision, shelter, education, travel and communication. Level the playing field. Everyone starts with the same (level of) opportunity.

The NHS uses tax payers money to try and shut whistleblowers up. The one place where you need people who can say that they made a mistake and everyone is made aware of it and measures are put in place to mitigate, yet we cover it up. To an extreme degree, on numerous occasions. In terms of the NHS, it can only get worse. As various processes are passed to the private sector, who's profits are linked to performance, the cover ups will be more frequent and less transparent. With a bit of luck, Rupert Murdoch will be on the end of one of their fuck ups.

I think she addresses that point in her article and uses other european countries as an example, where they use puberty/physical maturity - essentially - as the barometer. The article was far from disgusting, I thought it raised some pertinent points and was well written (in places). That I've only heard of this wifie from her being name-dropped in connection with any controversy, means I don't have an existing position on her views, which probably helps. Regardless of current law on age, the girl was clearly physically mature enough to have sex and a willing participant. The recommeIndation of a 5 - 10 year sentence stifles all mature debate on the subject and is clearly a persecution based on the profile of the person/case rather than an objective view of the crime. I'm not sure what a sentence that long is meant to achieve.

Lawless had a great season for Partick, fantastic strike. Might be worth a look in the summer. Goals on red tv just now. Good header fae Church.

F'n yes! I hate listening on the radio, nae idea fits happening. Great result.
