You see Thomas, when I say things I assume people will take them in jest whereas you my creepy friend, come across as a borderline sex offender. For example, I myself wouldn't say to another poster that I'd have rough anal with their daughter. All about the tone.

Pretending to not like any of the Danny Lennon signings as he put you on the naughty step for being a gobshite...

3rd one of these King of draws

None of this EPL, overpaid pish, with players who the think fans owe them something for turning up on a Saturday. A local lad going tonto after scoring for the team he would be watching if not playing for. Fuckin' teckle. Not only a goal to spearhead the Dee to victory, but one to deter the sewer rats who lie in the pipelines of the P&B infrastructure, waiting for a Dundee defeat, in order to air their rodent views.

Bit of a shock to see you somehow manage to use words without actually adding anything of substance to a discussion tbh

They broke their duck today.... ...Edinburgh City are no longer dithpicable.....

Oh! I don't know. They have a well educated workforce, armed forces with an aircraft carrier that is operational, and has aeroplanes on it. A better standard of living than the UK and much better infrastructure. They also have an unswerving belief in freedom, democracy and equality and don't make a big song and dance about poppies and suchlike. Their equivalent of the poppy is a cornflower and is worn for one day only and only by government officials, not joe public. Complete b*stards as you can see. They also consider the UK at the moment to be a comedy basketcase. An assessment with which I completely agree

Good end to my weekend, many pints later.

I believe Spuddy handed back his own season ticket then used his wife's afterwards. That's not at all what you said though you ugly p***k.

Honestly G Man can you stop filling this thread with your shite and trying to pick arguments with other posters it's getting pathetic.

None of that happened. What a f**k up.

It is I don't know how he failed to remember Maybe there should be some kind of campaign to remind people. It would need a strong colourful logo though, any ideas?

The word carnage, when used to describe a night out/in.

Basically it is making the club some money run by volunteers so any profit going to the club from what I have heard it's roughly averaging 30 plus these things take a wee while to build up put looks positive Well done to the young guys running it

If winning trophies is all that matters, Djokovic has won one tournament since June. In the same time period Murray has won Queens, Wimbledon, Olympics, Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and will more than likely win Paris tomorrow.

My favourite tennis quote of the year.

All this talk of this decision 'blocking Brexit' is of course entirely unfounded and disingenuous; Brexit will almost certainly still happen in one form or another. It perhaps does somewhat strengthen the hand of those pushing for a 'soft' Brexit depending on how events develop but the idea that these judges have stymied any possibility of Brexit at all is just hysterical hyperbole. May will now (assuming she doesn't win the appeal and on the face of it that seems unlikely) have to go to parliament and presumably get some form of 'Brexit Bill' passed through both Houses but given the amount of pressure they will be under to ensure the referendum result is upheld I really can't see a majority of MPs actually 'defying' the supposed will of the British public; the venom directed towards the High Court judges and the campaigners who brought the challenge is just a taste of what many of them would receive if they entirely scuppered the Brexit process. Indeed they may receive a healthy dose of such bile even if they refuse to endorse a 'hard' Brexit, especially if for example they keep free movement of people in return for access to the Common Market. Anyway the manner in which the press (wilfully) and a hefty chunk of popular opinion (mostly through ignorance) is prepared to totally miss the point on this ruling is actually genuinely concerning for our democracy. All that the High Court has decided here is that the government cannot use their executive powers through the Royal Prerogative to push through an exit from the EU as it infringes parliamentary sovereignty; i.e. that very same British parliamentary sovereignty supposedly so loved by the Brexiteers and undermined, ironically, by 'unelected judges'. Since we joined the EU (or EEC as it was then) European law has been part of British law, hence leaving the EU alters British domestic law. It also removes 'rights' such as appealing to the European Court of Justice. Traditionally (well since the 17th century anyway) the British constitution, such as it is, has held that the Crown (i.e. the government) cannot override legislation using its prerogative powers. Only parliament can alter or override legislation through more legislation. As the judges actually commented in the judgement: "An important aspect of the fundamental principle of Parliamentary sovereignty is that primary legislation is not subject to displacement by the Crown through the exercise of its prerogative powers." Hence seeing as the High Court took the view that triggering Article 50 and leaving the EU through the invocation of the Royal Prerogative would do just that it is legally incompetent and beyond the government's executive powers: "The Crown cannot, through the exercise of its prerogative powers, alter the domestic law of the United Kingdom and modify rights acquired in domestic law under the ECA 1972 or the other legal effects of that Act. We agree with the claimants that, on this further basis, the Crown cannot give notice under Article 50(2)." Contending that the supposed 'Great Repeal Act' they will apparently pass after triggering Article 50 would restore the laws thus affected also doesn't alter the fact that by commencing the process of leaving the EU without consulting parliament the government would have overstepped the mark and gone beyond what their executive powers are supposed to permit. Had they made the referendum itself binding they could have avoided this malaise (for example the AV referendum, if you remember that farce, was binding and had it passed the appropriate legislation would have been enacted automatically without needing further parliamentary approval). They didn't of course and as everyone knows it was merely consultative, so despite the enormous political pressure to implement the result there is no legal obligation to do so. The point is that the decision of the High Court does nothing to actually stop Brexit, it merely stops the UK government from implementing it without consulting parliament first. It should also be pointed out it is somewhat unclear in the judgement if a simple vote (a 'parliamentary referendum') would suffice; a lot of legal experts I've read seem to suggest that legislation would need to be passed which of course would involve a lot of wrangling in both Houses and a probably protracted timetable. May could go for the simple vote option and press ahead with her March timetable but this might leave her open to further legal challenge. So essentially the courts have actually stepped in and protected the public from a gross breach of that precious British Parliamentary Sovereignty that was so cherished by those campaigning for a 'leave' vote. They should be pleased with such an outcome and that the courts have protected us from the undemocratic usage of the Royal Prerogative to alter and discard UK legislation and the rights of British citizens without parliamentary approval. In narrow legal terms the appeal to the Supreme Court doesn't seem to stand much of a chance. It is hard to see how the Supreme Court judges can take a different view to the High Court as the fact that triggering Article 50 does alter domestic law seems pretty clear cut; it would also create a dangerous precedent were the government permitted to use its executive powers to alter domestic law on the basis it would go back and get parliament to reinstate the discarded law at a later date. Sadly seeing how the High Court judges have been hounded for 'overruling democracy' the pressure on them to find in favour of the government will be immense. It ought to concern people that May's government thought they could get away with acting in such a manner without proper constitutional oversight merely because they thought they had the backing of public opinion. The idea that judges ought to disregard the law and take decisions based on what they think public opinion would prefer is also concerning and it ought to be considered an absolute disgrace that politicians and the press are openly trying to pressurise the courts into ignoring the law to get an outcome they prefer. I actually (and I'm pretty cynical on the whole) wouldn't have imagined years ago that we'd be in a situation in the UK where judges were branded as 'enemies of the people' on the front page of a national newspaper for merely upholding the law. Then again that's Brexit Britain for you. High time Scotland got out of this absolute madness.

Look GMan I don't as a rule criticise other Dundee fans but you're a total arsehole.

Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World

WillieA : I think that John Martyn typo is with youtube Cat Stevens : Wild World

I genuinely can't find a single rating I'd agree with there. Mental that Barton is 9/10 when he's played half a dozen games, Azeez is 8/10 when he's a striker who struggles to finish, Devine is 6.5/10 when we had to change the system to account for him being unable to defend and Gordon getting anything over 2/10 with that 2 being for his performances at Ibrox alone. Even Syme not being able to get a rating when he's started 2 games which is the exact same number games for which Stuckmann has been given 6.5/10 is odd.

Feed me.

Natalie Cole - Wild Women Do

Did anyone see Roger Federer's tweet? "We have a new king in town. Congrats Sir Andy Murray". I liked this as it included a subtle wee dig at Djokovic. When Djokovic got his first big win against Federer, his parent's claimed the king was dead long live the king. Rafael Nadal has also congratulated his friend Andy Murray. The whole tennis community have been congratulating him, certainly shows how well he is liked within tennis. Although if he gets defaulted today he won't get any ranking points for Paris so it's not quite confirmed yet

By this logic though St Mirren will only have 12 ppints and Dunfermline 27

The Chlamydia Kid is just gutted that he supported a cheating *** club who also died like Rangers IMO.

He is a fucking tennis player not a politician. Have you ever thought that he just wants to be a good tennis player and isn't interested in all the media/fame bullshit that comes with it. There are plenty of fame hungry whores out there and Murray clearly doesn't want to be one of them. And maybe just maybe he has learned from the whole "abe" thing that was clearly a joke between him and Henman that was completely blown out of all proportion and rammed down his throat for years afterwards. And he certainly didn't appear to compromise his principles in the lead up to the referendum.

Posting during Remembrance Sunday silence. Reported.

They're called slams mate. If you want to talk about majors I'm sure there's a golf thread you could f**k off to.

Pink Floyd - Not Now John

Clicked on the thread after seeing this comment and genuinely thought it was going to be aimed at Grimbo. Surprising.

You recall wrong. There was far less than 1000 children. Manny wins. Donaire loses.

Hereford won 27 in a row only last season. I wouldn't be surprised if another team has a longer winning streak than that. Its a great PR stunt by EK but afraid it isn't a record especially when you count a game drawn as a win.

Don't think you understand how "sovereignty" works in a (semi) liberal, democratic state tbh. Why do you now object to the standard instrument of British sovereignty - Parliament and an independent judiciary - having an influence in such a significant process? Was that not what the majority of the electorate voted for? It's a toughie. Hint: "Sovereignty" is never determined by the outcome of single plebiscites; unless you're the fan of a tool used by dictators like, erm, Adolf Hitler to secure absolute, authoritarian power. That isn't a violation of Godwin's Law - that is historical fact. Indeed targeting the judiciary as "traitors to the people" is literally straight out of 'Germany in the 1930s' behaviour. Which is all the more ironic given that the right-wing leanings of the judiciary actually stopped the likes of Hitler being executed for treason in the first place. These are facts.

Didn't deserve to get beat last week but hey ho that's football!

Indeed it is. The more comparable figure is Aberdeen's £6.8m v BrandRangers FC's £12.9m. Although that was their salary bill for last season against the might of Alloa and Dumbarton. We also know (from their accounts) that they've already spent £3m+ on recruiting galacticos for this season. Yours, up to my knees in woolly stuff! aDONis

These two statements taken together really don't add up. You think it's a good thing to be able to take the government to court for acting beyond their legal authority but then the judges should be criticised for slapping the government down because they got the judgement 'wrong'? That really makes no sense whatsoever. We need an independent judiciary but we should barrack and hound judges who take decisions that are politically unpopular because they're 'up on a pedestal' and make unpopular judgements?? You either believe in the independence of the judiciary or you don't, it's that simple. You apparently don't. And the Supreme Court, funnily enough, is part of the judiciary; we don't have a Supreme Court to chastise judges for making unpopular decisions but as the final legal court of appeal on legal terms. If they overturn the decision it will be on legal terms, not because you or Nigel Farage don't like it. You see the thing is it really doesn't 'work both ways'. The courts are tasked with determining (independently as you suggest) solely if the government in situations such as this has acted legally and within the limit of the powers it possesses. As I and any number of posters have pointed out the government on this occasion was found in court by said independent judiciary to have been intending on exercising its executive power in a manner that was incompatible with the fundamental principle of parliamentary sovereignty. That's a straightforward legal question and nothing more. In this instance this is nothing to do with 'metropolitan elites' or judges getting things 'wrong' or acting in accordance with their own political leanings; it was the opinion of the court the government had proposed to act in an unconstitutional manner, nothing more. But then you knew that. Nobody is putting these judges 'on a pedestal' (like the way you slipped in the junior docs there as well, top trolling, shame you don't know what trolling is); they were asked and have given their opinion on the legal position as is their proper constitutional role. The fact that the same British judges exalted just a few months ago by the leave campaigners as fundamentally superior to their European counterparts, the very same judges to whom it was imperative more 'control' be given, have turned around and infuriated the Brexit camp by, erm, upholding the British constitution, is absolutely priceless. Mind you I'm all in favour of undermining the power of the Westminster elite. I'm not going to pretend however that the likes of Boris Johnson, John Redwood, Liam Fox or Jacob Rees-Mogg are somehow outsiders to it or 'men of the people'.

Bottled it a bit, but still delighted

Jagfox99 is the best Dundee poster on P&B. eta: Thank you.

The Horlicks has kicked in, so Dangers in 'dream-world'.

[emoji847][emoji847][emoji847] Feck the world record. When was the last time big eddie van der sar was handing the beers out down your club?[emoji106]

He's a dick.

I could score 4 against Hamburg.

The boy is back in his box after missus just had to haul him out of the chimney by the tail.

You could, and no will give the slightest whiff of a shite about it. Also, next time you don't give a f**k about something, try to either ignore it, or simply post a single "I don't give a shit", instead of boring the tits off everyone with a look-at-me-a-athon on your university of life/school of hard knocks education. HTH.

You're a fucking creep.
