  1. I wasn't there yesterday so don't know when the boos etc. started, but if you lose 3-1 at home to the team (formerly) bottom of the league and have now lost five games on the bounce, I think you have every right to boo. I don't even see what the fuss is about. It's very, very hard to be encouraging after this slump.

  2. He's now deleted it.

     

    The club asked him to.

     

    He had offers during the summer from various clubs but chose to stay here because, supposedly, Archie and Shaggy apologised for not playing him and promised to start him more often. That happened but he's fallen back out of the frame again. He shouldn't have tweeted that but you can understand his frustration that this promise has been broken, and he could be playing regularly somewhere else.

     

    I don't think he'll play for us again. Maybe go out on loan.

  3. I don't think we can compare scotland with continental Europe. They generally have a more mature attitude to alcohol all round. We have a problem with it in society and I think we're as well keeping it away from the football.

     

    Its already at the football though. It's more than easily accessible before and after the game, and the 1hr45 does often work as a sober-up period, but I see little difference between that and going to see a film. Why not ban it from the Grosvenor after the 50 Shades massacre yesterday?

     

    I understand that as a country we find it hard to go for "two pints" and not end up home at 3am covered head-to-toe in kebab sauce, but it's shown to be effective in England/Europe and I feel it's silly to suggest it's not even worth a shot here.

  4. I'm starting to worry that if i travel on public transport worth a rucksack I'll get all sorts of suspicious looks.

     

    Last summer coming home from Amsterdam, the passport control guy looked at my passport photo, then back at me, and asked "are you a member of Al-Qaeda?" and I laughed nervously and declined. Apart from that, I love having a beard.

  5. Folk have plenty of opportunity to drink before and after the game. Is it really a hardship to have a couple of hours off? Asking for trouble if it's reintroduced, unfortunately.

     

    But on the other hand, is it much of a hardship not to have a couple of hours off from eating pies?

     

    I don't see the problem with having a beer at half-time, from a social perspective and not just to get steaming. It's unlikely that anyone would have more than one pint in a 15 minute sitting and it would hopefully be regulated in such a fashion that if you were drunk, you wouldn't get served. I've been to several games in Germany where beer is sold throughout the game and, if anything, we never had as much to drink before the game, instead choosing to have a few whilst watching the football and I much preferred it that way.

  6. Find it surprising that Hamilton wil be paying better wages when the chances are they will be in the Championship next season and were Sevco not rumoured to have fancied him as well. Still the wee man has played a big part in getting us to where we are today, admittedly more last season, than this, but similarly to ATS, he goes with my best wishes for his contribution over the last two years

     

    I don't know the figures we were offering but Hamilton are willing to pay him more. Perhaps we didn't offer a significant increase on his current contract (where I'd assume he wasn't on a lot like the majority of our players last season) and Hamilton feel he's more valued than we do. No idea. I wouldn't be too worried about it though. No idea why Rangers pulled out, if they were interested at all, but I was told St. Johnstone and Hamilton.

  7. If you were at the Vue cinema and had paid £7.50 to watch a film in which the projection failed half way through, do you think you would say "thanks very much" if they gave you a voucher on the way out so that you could come back and pay £4.50 to see the film another day?

     

    Might be wrong here, but I'm sure it costs less for a cinema to press play than it does for a football club to put on a game.

  8. 10 to 15 mins into 2nd half.

     

    I thought Cowden were exploiting us by charging £12 for the rearranged fixture. However, given the vital nature of the game to our promotion hopes, I couldn't possibly have missed it.

     

    Yup. Thought it was bad at the time but that's what happens. Paid it and had a wonderful time.

     

    Either both should be free entry or both say £5 to cover costs.

     

    Donate a fiver to the club then.
