Here's hoping John McGlynn gets the Manager of the year award for a fantastic unbeaten season from the nominations Would be thoroughly deserved, led a great team & special mention also to your support Was a pleasure to host you at Forthbank this season, good luck on Saturday ️

Having read these recent posts I'm marvelling at a national sport which dispenses summary judgement for bureaucratic infractions of a minor nature, yet remains mutely inactive about decades of singing about being up to one's knees in ****** blood. Remarkable, quite remarkable.

Today is my 5th rebirthday after stem cell transplant . Still in "remission". Have clinic later this month so hopefully remains that way

I think your club should reflect on your own efforts at doing enough over a season to avoid being flushed down the pan. Not least given that the only reason you're still in contention on the final day is down to three points provided by, err, a ten man Arbroath team just three weeks ago. Or maybe you think it's unfair that every other club gets to play the only team worse than you too.

Wow, my awful post beaten in record time.

And long may it continue, the little Tory shitheel

Just took my 93-year-old Mum to vote, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which box for deporting the ULEZ protestors to Rwanda?" A cheer went up from the waiting voters.

TEN/10 Guessed artist and mirror man

We have Morrison on 23. Maciver himself on 14 (a respectable return in itself). Nesbitt on 11 and Miller on 9. Coves next 2 under Burrell are on 9 and 5. So Ross Maciver is a mere 7 goals behind a poacher who scores all his teams goals, who has an entire team dedicated to feeding him because that's all he can do, but has been instrumental as the target man in a system that as you say, has yielded goals by the hatful from the attacking midfielders. There's no sensible conversation to be had about whether we would have been better off with Burrell. We play John McGlynns football. John McGlynn replaced Burrell with Maciver, yielding the above results and one week from an invincible season. No conversation to be had at all.

He was outstanding in the first hour. Fucks sake he’s had to move into CH and people are saying this. Some of our fans are dreadful, don’t deserve this team.

Dundee Fc v St Mirren thread bingo: - Opening remarks of hope that this latest thread shall not be a bin fire - - Some generally sensible comments about the game and potential starting 11 - - Mention of Dundee administration(s) - - Mention of Celtic store at St Mirren ground - - Mention of Dundee being a shithole - - Mention of Weegie's - - Thread now considered to be a binfire - IF NOTHING ELSE WE ARE FUCKING CONSISTENT LADS. Thank you.

10 for Thursday. Four very educated guesses.

10/10 for Wednesday road my luck with the runner and complete guess on the h bomb.

10/10 for Tuesday. A fairly weird bunch of questions today, imo

Being 13th in the goalkeeper table, in a league of 12, is massively on brand for Liam Kelly.

Jurgen Klopp:

The red d... wait a minute.

I actively disliked Hopkin and Duffy, stinking attitudes towards the club, the performances and the supporters. The same can't be said for Bullen. A very likable guy who wanted the best, just didn't work out in the end.

Ten Thursday

I think we've forgotten that this is what happens to parties that have been in power too long. Leaders can only ever be forged in opposition. In government everyone that comes through the party has the support of a big infrastructure and then as Ministers they have the civil servants doing everything for them. They lack agency. They have to follow the party line and the communications plans - and the kind of people who take that route are happy to do it. Usually they've never had a job in the real world. As the leaders that got them to the top fall away, those left behind lack the skills and experience needed to replace them - and tougher still, to renew the party while it's in office. The other thing that happens is you accumulate war wounds and those only heal in opposition. Ideological differences become insurmountable and you can no longer maintain a coalition wide enough to present a united front to the electorate and to keep enough voters on board. You also become bogged down by the weight of your mistakes, which are inevitable for anyone running anything this big. In a normal country the SNP would have lost an election years ago and gone through this cycle but the opposition haven't been up to the job of taking them down, for many reasons. Those fretting about seeing independence - maybe you will, maybe you won't. But these movements always come and go in waves and you just have to work so that each wave is bigger than the last.

Single Saints fan says a sweary word. Commentators “Apologies for the language” 1,000 Rangers fans sing about wading in the blood of dead catholics… tumbleweed.

Imagine wearing a Rangers top anytime.

Table time. Pfizer winner for the 18th time is @Helpma with 1 point behind @Cardinal Richelieu runner-up surprisingly for the 1st time. This was on QD from @TheGreenElves @Bully Wee Villa and @Salvo Montalbano.

Unbeaten with 1 league game to go and some of our fans pile on a 20 year old right back filling in at CB. It’s embarrassing.

To build an illegal settlement on the other side?

Don't disagree but the bit about focussing on fringe issues is wrong. It's the media that does that. The proportion of actual parliamentary and government time spent on those things is tiny. Here's one example - First Ministers' Questions last week was covered extensively in the media. If you watched, heard or read those reports you might think you know what they yelled at each other about. But here are all the topics that they covered after the ya-boo politics was over, brought up my MSPs of all parties: availability of medicines and the impact of Brexit, the 2030 GHG emissions target, making some environmental harms a criminal offence, freedom of movement in the EU for young people, the proposed Winchburgh train station, pay for care workers, pay for councillors (following a report recommending they get paid £24,500), funding for apprenticeships, funding for employability support, problems with the new restrictions on woodburning stoves, mental health services for young people in rural areas, the impact of Scottish Income Tax on migration and racial abuse in workplaces. And that's in the most politicised, most confrontational slot in the week, on a highly politically charged day. https://www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees/official-report/search-what-was-said-in-parliament/meeting-of-parliament-25-04-2024?meeting=15816&iob=135018 Then there's the Scottish Government news releases. Around the announcement of the resignation of the First Minister they've published releases on proposed legislation banning touting tickets when we host Euro 2028, £500 million per year in Child Disability Payments, monthly GDP estimates, support for people injured at work, adding £80 million to the fund to purchase and upgrade unused homes to get homeless people out of temporary accommodation taking it to £600 million per year, the passing of the Children (Care and Justice) Bill, a cash-first approach for families with young children in food poverty, completion of the £49 million new deep-water terminal in Stornoway... And that's in less than a week. The media do a fkn shocking job of representing what actually goes on in the governance of our country. All of them, including the so-called quality press. Unless they get their news at source, even those who think they have a good grasp on current affairs usually don't. Also, fringe issues are anything but fringe issues when they apply to you. It's a big country and we can fix lots of problems at once.

You can't "know" but it seems a reasonable working assumption especially because we're playing for pretty low stakes here But it can be a gateway into the "We hate that lot because they hate us" bigotry that people like Wingnut are often, knowingly or unwittingly, entrenched into As the Buddha (566-486 BC Philosopher, Spiritual Leader and Chairman of Ancient India Heart Supporters Club) once said "For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time" Or as Yoda (896 BBY to 4 ABY: Jedi Master and secretary of Dagobah Supporters Club Hearts) put it "Hatred leads to suffering" Or indeed as Martin Luther King (1929-1968: Preacher , Civil Rights leader and Third Lanark fan) preached: “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars Arrogance is an undesirable trait but when faced with the likes of Wingnut it may be hard to avoid but it's up to your own strength of moral character to not give in to hate Remember the words of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900 Philosopher, Miserable Sod, Had a shockingly poor quality tattoo of Hearts Captain Isaac Begbie) "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." Cretinous Simpletons from utter shitholes like Wingnut shouldn't be hated they should be pitied, An Idea that was put best by Sergeant Bosco Albert Baracus (1952 -???? US Army, Soldier of fortune, Los Angeles Underground Hearts) when he said "I pity the fools"

A day with a real cause of celebration. Best news we've had in a long while. Still, I wish him well at Salford.

I can't get to all home (and away) games due to other commitments so have been paying at the gate when I can go. Despite this continuing to be the case I bought 2 season tickets this morning so that JM has my cash for the close season war chest.

True, but you can only play what's put in front of you. Regardless, that was a seriously good Queens side that season who were clearly too good for the opposition ... and without any failures in the side we also had a standout in the so sadly missed Chris Mitchell in absolutely majestic form at full back who made the game look so easy ... a strong connection to the Bairns of course ... RIP Chris.

Since it’s not been announced, Murphy won player of the year and Stanger won young player of the year. If anyone’s interested.

St Mirren and Dundee fans desperate to add the "St Johnstone got relegated" trophy to their "made the top six" cup already in the bag. St Mirren might do a open top bus parade, but suspect Dundee will go down the DVD route.

Think I knew them all today or at least could work them out. 10.

10 for Friday. Nae guesses!

I'll be buying my first season ticket in over 15 years despite the fact I'll only be in the country twice a year at most.

If our shape and approach in games is down to too much tactical work, I can't wait to see what less leads to.

The sterling one really just highlights why VAR is, and always will be, a failed project in its existing form. The on-field referee, the VAR referee, the appeals panel, and this wee independent review thing have all come up with a different answer. And that is actually ok, the fact that 4 “qualified” parties interpret an incident differently is quite reasonable. But it completely devalues the entire concept of the magic technology to get decisions ‘right’.

In reality they focus on both. The media only covers one. Like, did you know that in July last year the SNP made it a requirement that any employer getting a grant from the Scottish Government or an agency had to pay every worker the real living wage? That's £4 billion spending every year. It's already had an impact on low pay and Scotland has the lowest proportion of workers under the real living wage in the UK, with the number falling sharply. Similar things have happened in health, justice, procurement, social care and no doubt other areas that I don't know about. The media do an unimaginably awful job telling us what our parliament and government actually do every day and there's not one of us has a genuine picture of it.

And apart from anything else, why TF is anyone singing about political violence in Northern Ireland at a football game in Scotland? If it's so important to you, go and sing about it over there. Leave the rest of us in peace.

Ten for Friday. Guess on "comedian"
