  2. Austin was fantastic last year but went totally backwards this year. Looked off the pace and dived at any opportunity. Looks like an attitude issue but he could still turn out to be a good player for someone at this level, not what we need right now so bye x We are all Don Hartley x

  3. Austin has had loads of chances this season and if I'm being honest here hasn't looked interested. He never looked to me like he was giving 100% and has missed chances at critical times in games. Nelson may not be the answer but i will give him a chance. Sunderland must have seen something in him and a move like this for him and Robson could be just what they need to kick start their careers. Lets be honest they couldn't try any less than the majority of workshy, wage thief wankers we have in our team at the moment

  4. My boys are sunning themselves in Egypt but there has been an incident or two. Three of the boys have been arrested for having Tramadol, my keeper has lost his arm trying to swim with Nile crocodiles and to top it off my star striker was last seen treasure hunting in a pyramid. News is coming in that my assistant manager has joined Isis. All in all a disastrous mid winter break for the club so next season it will be Margate. I personally blame all my ills on that uber fud @Cardinal Richelieu On a sidenote welcome @DublinMagyar to the league.

  7. Not best pleased about Austin going tbh. There's clearly a player in there as evidenced by him having one of the best goals/minutes ratio in the division last season. The fact we paid money for him suggests that we expected him to kick on and attract a fee from someone. Seems a bit short-sighted to get rid when he's having a poor spell in a shocking team and being asked to play a role that clearly doesn't suit him.

  8. Just arrived in Melbourne and going tomorrow. Very strong position and Cook and Root look very comfortable. Have to pile the runs on and get a big lead as this pitch will probably be best for batting up to tea tomorrow. Genuinely cannot wait to get to the MCG.

  10. Personally don't see what the issue is with jettisoning Austin - i always felt like Hippolyte that he was a confidence player who in our situation is a luxury we can ill afford lets be frank how many times did he score when one on one with opposition keeper ? my impression is that he does not fit in with style & approach that Hartley is trying to transition the team to

  11. Their problem was the core was rotten. They never had the numbers to actually go and do door to door activism and had to rely on stunts. When you dont have the numbers you have to, like the Greens and to an extent the SNP, spend years doing the hard stuff of standing in council elections you will never win building community bases in unglamorous local campaigns. Cat Boyd was happy to try and become an MSP but said from the outset she had no interest in standing in local elections. Admitting you didnt vote in the EU Ref abd then saying you voted for Labour in GE invites people to take you less than seriously. The new RISE lot wanted to get in at the top via stunts and ironically using positions in mainstream media. Why the SSP who were known, had a brand and at least one recognisable figure in Colin Fox threw their lot in with this lot I'll never know. Lastly there are a lot of myths about the Radical Indy campaign in 2014. Their mass canvasses were 80% SNP members and elected members as well as Greens and the old SSP/SWP lot in and about it too.

  12. Yes Kamara was pretty bad yesterday, but the difference is that is a rare occurrence. Admittedly he strolled around out there with no urgency, and played some really awful balls to his team-mates. O'Dea however has been bad since day one of the pre-season both in form, and attitude. Whether it be acting like a madman in a friendly with Arbroath or yelling at his team-mates (often while they're covering up for his mistakes), and picking up yellows and reds at quite an astonishing rate it's no wonder the fans have caught on that he is a problem. I support all those who get on the pitch wearing the darkblue, and I'll support O'Dea if he plays ahead of Waddell (with Meekings almost certainly out for the weekend), but lets not pretend that the fans have just decided for some unknown reason to start blaming everything on O'Dea. His play, and attitude so far this season have been a major liability. End of.

  14. Would have thought an Austin loan deal might have been best for all concerned, feel a bit conflicted about his release tbh. His dives were atrocious and his attitude was crap this season, but on the flip side, when used correctly he was excellent, his starts this season were mostly (IIRC) as a 1 up top with his back to goal, supported by players like Kerr, Taiwo, Craigen, McKee etc who were never going to get up there to help him and quite predictably, he looked rotten. I hope I'm wrong, but I see him scoring a barrel-load for a similar sized championship club.

  15. That's the thing with some talented players though. They are happy playing in a confident, winning team and don't have the stomach for a fight when required. Paul McMullan, Ryan Hardie, Tom Walsh. All talented enough guys in the last two seasons with us but every one of then look completely uninterested when it came to the crunch and we were in the shit.

  16. As well as the aforementioned Sanmi Odelusi there is, Adil Nabli (Currently at Peterborough - We tried to bring in a striker on loan from them before the window closed that fell through), Jerome Binnom-Williams (A left back?), Nathan Ralph (Another LB), Ben Richards-Everton (Ex-Partick defender), Shamir Mullins (6ft 5 striker for Forest Green), JJ Hooper (Striker at Grimsby), Hogan Ephraim (Former 'wonderkid' now at Whitehawk, striker), Ruben Lameiras (Midfielder at Plymouth), Gozie Ugwu (Striker at Chesterfield). There's probably more, but that's what I could find online.

  17. I cant believe the absolutely shocking short sighted decision. Probably Falkirks best, most improved player last season, one bad half season and he's away. Almost everyone in the team have been shite this season, he's the only one I'd say that has any sort of potential, just because he cant play up top on his own. Hippo and him could have been a good partnership. Harley better pull a rabbit out the hat here or he's fucked.

  19. Three mates down the pub Billy, Mickey and Dave are enjoying a few beers. The chat then turns to Billy's sex life. He says it's been a bit boring with his missus, Jane, for years. Same missionary stuff, three nights a week and special occasions like his Birthday he might even get oral. Dave says, "have you tried buying stuff from Ann Summers?" Billy says, "No, we tried that and she wouldn't wear the stuff I bought and put it in the bin!" Mickey then pipes up, "when Margot and me were having a lull in bedroom activities, someone suggested that I get her to pick out a porno that has all the stuff in it that she'd like to try but has been too shy to ask for. We'd then watch it together and we'd copy what we saw on screen. It was amazing, I think we even ended up doing a good chunk of the Kama Sutra". Billy says, "I think I'll give that a go, Jane has always had a lack of confidence and that's probably why she's not too adventurous." He heads off home with new found enthusiasm. The next Friday, they're all back in the boozer. Mickey turns Billy and asks how he got on with the advice. Billy says, "well when I first put it to her she was a bit reticent, but she went away and had a browse of the internet. She came back to the bedroom with downloaded movie on a stick. I plugged it into the TV and there was a blonde, very similar looks wise to Jane, sensually stripping off and then lays on the bed and begins pleasuring herself while her man watches on. We start to do the same. I'm really getting into this now..." Mickey says, "that's great, so it worked a treat..." Billy interrupts, "No. That's when the 5 big black men came in".

  21. Since around midday on Christmas day, I started feeling quite ill. Didn't really eat much of my Christmas dinner and hardly had a drink then had a feverish sleep. Was supposed to be going to the pub yesterday with friends but had to cancel as I just got worse, couldn't even hold water down and spent the day drifting in and out of sleep. However, I've woke up today feeling fresh as a daisy so will make up for lost time and will be stuffing my face and getting absolutely steaming.

  22. Kamara is 22 years old and will develop nicely over the next few years. O’Dea is 30 years old and getting slower all the time. If Kamara was to leave Dundee how many Premiership teams would be interested in him? How many would be interested in O’Dea? Yes Kamara makes errors but at least he doesn’t look to blame everyone else for them or gets himself needlessly sent off.

  27. The BSC Alloa thing is a cheap laugh I'll grant you, but you'll find it's far from me alone that's used it - you'd get similar if any team played so far from their home base. As for Junior teams conspiring - there's no grand conspiracy, it's simply down to other sides seeing our - and Ashfield's - experiences and subsequent reluctance to enter into similar arrangements. Incidentally. I initially had no intentions whatsoever of explicitly airing any dirty laundry over on the BSC thread - I was simply refuting the claim that the pitch issues were the sole reason for BSC vacating the place until you waded in with your size twelves and called me out on it. I took the trouble to check back - this ring a bell? "I love how people "in the know" come on here and hint at knowing something but never tell you what it is. If you want to use words like disingenuous Hillonearth, how about trivialising a club being unable to play a home game for almost 4 months because of a leaky bit of grass. If we had stayed at Lochburn I think we could have got sponsorship from Deep Sea World. " When it comes down to it, it's on you...

  28. This. O'Dea really boiled my piss there. If ever a man should have held up his hand and apologised for his error it was there. What did O'Dea do ? Ripped Parish a new one in some poor attempt to cover for his own dickery. Pathetic.

  29. O’Dea has slowed down massively in the last year, let alone since his last international call up. When he under hit the ball back to Parish and Griffiths nipped in and almost scored O’Dea went off on one to Parish. O’Dea had plenty of time to control and release the ball yet blamed Parish who is still settling in. Is that the way a player with the experience you’ve highlighted behave?

  30. Sell out twat. He needlessly propped up a Tpry government for five years, overseeing billions in cuts, the trebling of tuitionfees, the bedroom tax and the controlled underfunding of the NHS. He's worse than a Tory, at least they are honest about what they are.

  31. If there is no free movement of people agreement in place, it'll be fucking hilarious to hear/see the rage of having to pay £20 for a visa to get into a EU nation ; or having to wait with the Yanks and non-Europeans at customs. Mind when there were long queues at Brussells airport a while back and Schengen countries were given priority. The right-wing rags going wild ''THIS IS WHY WE ARE LEAVING'' ''BRITS WAITING FOUR HOURS'' The worrying thing about this Brexit mess, is that seems at least 50% of Scots want to fucking down with the good ship Blighty. A government we haven't voted for ; a referendum we voted massively against ; but nah, we'll hang around like the servile wee dicks we are.

  33. Just spied this thread now. Managed to get return flights from Edinburgh to Stewart for £204 in September for a family event. Flight was fine and the transfer to/from Manhattan was very comfortable - probably closer to 80-90 mins than 2 hours at a reasonable cost of $20. Noted that the luggage wasn't weighed on the way out but (with most folk travelling hand luggage only) everything was weighed on the return and they were ultra strict on the 10kg limit. Saw quite a few screaming matches with one family in particular having to shell out $60 (?) per case x 4 for being over the weight. I'll definitely use again if prices remain low.

  35. You may have got a decent feel for the popular tourist destinations, but that's like saying you spent 4 nights in London, 3 in Edinburgh, 2 in Manchester and 1 in Birmingham and claiming to have a feel for the UK! I've lived here in Japan for nearly 2 years and barely scratched the surface of the place.

  36. The 7 day JR pass covers the Shinkansen but not the Nozomi or Mizuho trains. You're good on any of the Sakura, Hikari, Kodoma or Tsubame. They'll keep you right when you make seat reservations in the office. I did it in 10 days my first visit (in October as well - the weather was amazing the entire trip although I don't think that's normal). 4 nights Tokyo at the start, 3 Kyoto, 1 Hiroshima and 2 Osaka. Got a decent feel for the country so I wouldn't say it's too short. A couple of extra days would give you more flexibility obviously. EDIT: Just realised I pretty much posted this already a few times. Oh well.

  37. I received a £30 free bet from Jetbull at the start of December. I put it on a ten game BTTS accumulator which won and left me with a bonus balance of £4,200. Happy days. I asked on live help what the conditions were before the bonus balance would be converted into cash and was told that the winnings had to be gambled five times i.e. £21,000, I could only bet £20 at a time, each bet had to be over evens and I had to meet the wagering by 31 December. I spent the next three weeks betting on everything and anything to meet the wagering requirements. I ended up having £2,900 left of the £4,000. It showed as a cash balance in my account so I withdrew it to the bank. I then get an email telling me that the withdrawal had been rejected as the maximum win from the free bet was 15x the bonus amount i.e. £450. Merry fucking Christmas
