Reckon you just had a bad batch. The local has that on draught fairly often and I've always found it a decent if unpectacular pint. Whisper it but Wetherspoons pubs in and around Glasgow tend to serve a good pint of the various Kelburn beers too.

The first word of my post was "if". Can you not read ffs?

If the SFL allow "Rangers" in to div 1, then I'm finished with Scottish fitba. End of. I'd prefer to be in the 2nd rather than the 1st next season, so losing out on promotion by default as a result is irrelevant.

Cracking link that. Looks like Glasgow is going to get shat upon in the next hour or so, by which point I'll be on my way into town for some Christmas shopping. Grand. Not a bad estimate, that. We now have leaden skies and light snow on Glasgow's southside. Ach well, the c'nting shopping has to be done at some point.

Christ almighty. I was astounded to see the Clyde all but frozen over in Glasgow this morning, but that looks like something Shackleton sailed through on his way to Antartica.

The Central is indeed fucked. There's hardly any snow lying in town, and only 3-4 inches on the southside. It's a bloody embarrasment that our biggest city can be brought to a standstill by a few inches of snow. I eventually joined the scrum to board a bus, and fucked off it a mile from home as it wasn't going anywhere. Dearie me.

Thay must be a fair age now. They were played to death on the Evening Session when Lamacq and Whiley co-hosted in the mid-90s. Eh? De Rosa and Aerogramme sound a bit similar in parts, but both of these are defunct anyways. I can't think of any other bands who are in the same vein. Edited to add: I too shall be at the Rabbit gig. I've seen them previously in The Arches, The Tramway, a pub and bizzarely, Xscape. It'll be good to see them in a proper venue.

Some people would consider the brothers grim of X Factor fame to be box office material too. The content has f'ck all to do with it on here. His face doesn't fit with some vindictive tossers who are looking for an easy target, and that's all. There are a good number of folk on the GN forum who poast continually about getting pished and/or hangovers, without receiving any hassle. Also, I daresay I'd be pissed off if I had to put up with the tram related Embra transport carnage each working day. If you're going to dig up folk for posting about the same issues all the time, then Capy is far from the worst offender on here.

Maybe you should refer to this post the next time you decide to post on P&B at 4am, describing how you feel like vomiting after drinking 20 shots of spirits in some shitty Stirling club? F'cking hypocrite.

It's fucking great, actually. Tis like having an unpaid chaffeur who gives cuddles. What more could a bloke ask for?

I thought the Farmfoods bag was the jakey bag of choice back in Airdrie? I'm a bit of a social climber. Oh, and GIRUY Livingston.

I walked through the car park at around 5.40, and couldn't see any telly or radio crews. Still, if you see anyone in the background of any pieces to camera carrying two Asda bags, that'll be me...

Did you actually read my post? I don't claim to speak for every Airdrie supporter, but I imagine most would have been happy to play in the 2nd division this season. The ongoing uncertainty has the potential to wreck our season, regardless of the division we find ourselves in at the end of this shambles. Let's say that this rumbles on until the end of September. Whilst Livingston's fate remains unresolved, we continue to play fixtures that we know may be expunged, and are unable to add to our squad. Should Livingston stay down, we find ourselves marrooned at the bottom of the 1st, unable to strengthen until January. If Livingston are restored to the 1st, we find ourselves in the nightmarish scenario of having to play perhaps 8 additional fixtures. That's exactly what we need before winter has even began. We were favourites to win the 2nd division this season, an outcome that would have us back in the 1st come August 2010. The longer this goes on, the less cance there is that we'll be in the 1st division come August 2010, for the reasons outlined above. McDougall and Rankine might be tossers, but they're also hard nosed businessmen with friends throughout football. Thay're not doing this for a laugh. Hopefully the SFL expel them for refusing to fulfil their fixtures, but I can't see that happening.

I'm almost certain that Livingston's punishment will be overturned at some point, in which case I'm finished with Scottish football. Just how many fixtures will Airdrie and Cowdenbeath effectively have to replay when the inevitable happens? Both clubs potentially face one the following: 1) Regular pumpings in a league niether squad was built for, if the decision is upheld but neither club risks strengthening. 2) Signing players on the assumption they'll complete the season in their current division, only to be bumped back down with an increased wage bill to meet on lower gates. 3) Running on their current squads in SLF2/3, but being unable to challenge when Livingston are restored to SFL1 due to a chronic fixture backlog and fatigue from the additional fixtures in the "wrong" division. 4) No income for weeks if fixtures are postponed pending the resolution of this mess. Any of these is a disasterous outcome. This situation is absolutely shambolic. Why are clubs with no link to the guilty party having their season ruined by the inertia of the governing bodies and the petulance of the Livingston board? I couldn't care less about Livingston FC or their fans. I do care that my own club is effectively being punished for the wrongdoings of another. To paraphrase Paul Martin's quote from a few weeks back, this isn't sport as I know it.

Airdrie and Cowdenbeath abstained, Annan and Livingston had no vote, I presume? Given how close that was, JB should have put aside his cloak of neutality and voted to uphold the decision.
