IIRC He's under contract but been told he can find a new club

I do believe I hear snickers in the background at some of these puns

Tuesday v Highland league side as opposed to a Saturday against SPFL opposition maybe?

Not sure on that ... I'm be-twix-ed and between

I remember it being used in newspaper headlines when a team scored 5 in a game for example "Jags go Nap" after a 5-0 win

As a change strip it's fine IMO

I'll take 2 please

Just a question re the donations. Is the Foundation able to register as a charity and claim back the tax on donations. I can't remember filling our a form for it when I signed up

Count me in too

Out of likes. Been impressed withe the O'Neills range and Greaves is a good partner. It would be great if the club and Greaves could arrange a pop up shop at Firhill to improve the range in the current shop

Agreed LLD . I would rather watch competitive games either domestic or international. I think the issue that concerns me is the number of games players are expected to play in a season (IMO driven by the money gods!) But that is a whole new thread...

iirc the same argument was put forward when the nations leagues were introduced by FIFA. More competitive internationals and fewer friendlies with the added bonus of an additional route into Euros

My work chose to ignore it business as usual for us.

BBC reporting Andy Firth has left Rangers. At 25 he's still young for a keeper, would he be a decent addition as competition for Sneddon?

I find the whole system an embarrassing, class ridden throwback and handing out awards named after something that doesn't exist except in the minds of Daily Mail readers and Nigel Farage sadly pathetic. It wouldn't be overly complex to modernise the honours and recognise the contribution of individuals to society with a single ctizenship award. It will never happen although I wonder what might happen in an independent Scotland.

Aka a member of the Orange Lodge didn't know he was.

Genuine question what's a 'good proddie' and I guess the follow up what's a 'bad proddie'

Thanks for clarifying GJ. In practice do you feel that the two ex-works teams you name have an advantage by not being included in the 50+1 rule? Trophies and titles would indicate not but that's a narrow view of success!

I couldn't possibly comment

Response from the club re next seasons kits: Hi Iain Thank you for your message. We expect to launch the new kit towards the end of June. Obviously we hope to make the launch as interesting as we can for fans therefore I am unable to provide you with any further information at this time. Keep an eye on our website/social media. Regards

That's the Arrow kit I remember. Colours are definitely too pale but darker red and yellow with a black round collar and cuffs, white shorts and 60's style red socks with yellow turnovers and a black hoop. Maybe I'm getting too nostalgic! Those old kits looked so much better without all the logos and advertising plastered everywhere!

We also send some of the older academy players out on loan as part of their development. Think it was 3 or 4 last season. I would rather they stayed and played in a reserve /B league but that was scrapped because clubs couldn't afford the extra wage bill and other running costs. Nowadays unless you are one of the ugly sisters or hearts, running a B team is cost prohibitive.

Did we ever have a decwnt shop at Firhill? Problem is finding somewhere to put it. Can't think of any space in the main stand that would do the job. Might be room in the JHS but access is an issue.

This one?

Each to their own. I remember that kit (iirc Arrow was the manufacturer). I remember it as one of the big, baggy styles of that time. The 60's kit aways appeared to be a darker shade of both the red and yellow although that might be due to the photos I've seen, Anyone else remember better than me?
