  1. I've not heard anyone called "chickenshit" for at least 15 years, so kudos for that.

  3. Keith Jackson holds supporters in a contempt that he doesn't even try to thinly veil. He was on Sportsound a few weeks ago, talking about the national team, and contributions from fans by text or Email got nothing but sneers and condescension from him. It's patently clear that all the predictions of doom - "Armageddon", "social unrest", "nuclear winter", "unviability", "slow lingering death", the 5 clubs going bust, ending up like the League of Wales - have proven totally false. No-one has really suffered financially, most attendances have gone up, cup trophies have been shared around, we've had something of a title race, the national team has picked-up, more young players have come through, different clubs have had shots at Europe (although their results is possibly the only area to have stagnated), and so on. Even financially TV money never fell, has now gone up, and there's now an all-time-high league naming rights deal too. We've also seen SPL-SFL merger go through, playoff introduced into Premiership, and a pyramid system started-up beneath SPFL2. To suggest that Rangers have arrived in the nick of time and saved the game from disaster is revisionism on a grand - indeed on a brazen - scale.

  7. Believe me, I'm as upset about this as you are, not least because of the impact on the attendance, hospitality and POTY, but also because of the impact on all supporters of BOTH clubs. When we have a succession of 3 dislocated games in a row, because of TV, the situation does become all the more annoying. However... the clubs voted in 2013 to accept this MG Alba TV deal and the contracts do allow the companies free choice of fixtures. UEFA rules and other broadcasters rights restrict available slots for Alba (which only starts broadcasting at 4pm daily) and to be fair to Alba, the late announcement is down to them being at the end of the food chain after BT Sport and Sky choose fixtures, dates & timings. I guess it kinda goes with the territory as Rovers (and Falkirk I suppose) are 'box office' for Alba. Imagine how it would be if we supported a leading EPL club, say. We'd rarely have a Saturday 3pm kick off. The POTY committee is meeting this evening and revised arrangements will be announced ASAP. The club will also respond by way of an announcement, probably tomorrow or Monday.

  10. I actually really enjoyed the Hibs 5.15 kick off a few weeks ago and the atmosphere was tremendous. Probably helped that some of the crowd had been able to have a few sherry's beforehand. However there's no doubt it impacts on the crowd and your infrequent fan faced with the choice of spending £18-£20 on just a ticket or watching for free on the TV will almost certainly choose the later. It's all about giving fans and clubs ample notice. From what I can see the lower Scottish leagues are the only ones who suffer this way. Games being moved in the Premiership and in England are announced well beforehand giving everyone a chance to make arrangements. There's no way any club's Player of the Year awards should be having to get moved in April because matches have been changed purely for TV. But then we all know the SPFL don't care. As we know he keeps an eye on this forum I would be very keen to hear what Eric Drysdale's feeling are about this. I am in no way suggestion he was involved in the decision but as he is our Chief Executive and a member of the SPFL Board I think we would all be grateful for some clarification as to why this match was chosen and what power the SPFL Board, and our board as well, have when a request for a match to be moved for TV is given. On a final note...a 5.15 Fife derby match would be brilliant. Fans aren't going to miss it cause of how big it is (especially after not having a league match for some years) and the local pubs etc would make a hefty sum. Just give us more than 16 days notice...

  18. As I understand the rules, this only applies if an opponent isn't close enough to play the ball, so could not be put off by the shout. One split seconds hesitation could be vital. Pedantic I know, especially as I'm sure the original poster didn't intend it to go this far, but just shows how much the game is governed by 'the opinion of the referee'.

  21. I hated Birdman. The acting was terrific as you say, (apart from Stone who shouts and screws her face up a lot). The one cut feel is very clever and I appreciate the techniques involved, however, for me it had absolutely no soul at all.

  27. Keith Jackson can try and tell me, as a Saints fan, that the last 4 years have been terrible but he won't be able to convince me. Yeah maybe the chairman has had to work a bit harder on the financial side but can anyone honestly say their club has suffered as much as this rocket was trying to make out earlier on? With the exception of perhaps Hibs, Utd and Killie (could even include Hamilton I guess) I'd say the last few years have been pretty good for most fans Aberdeen have stopped being embarrassed by themselves, the highland teams have been pretty consistent and have won trophies, Hearts had a blip but seemed happier and better for it, Thistle and Dundee have improved each year and can't really complain, Motherwell have had some highs and some lows (that eventually turned into highs) but hardly been a disaster and Saints have had a fantastic time. I may be paraphrasing but I'm sure I heard him utter something like "with Rangers being back in the top league along with Hibs and Utd the Scottish Premiership will be a proper league again". It's been a proper league all along Keith with the 12 best teams (in terms of merit) playing each other over a season trying to get as high up the table as possible. If the current bottom 2 go down it's because they are gash and which i hate to admit it the Ibrox outfit have won the league in what appears to be a fair and square manner (until we find out King has some involvement in this Panama mess) so they deserve their chance at the top table. But it shouldn't be painted as a heroic return of the knight in shining blue armour who will rescue the stranded maiden that is the Scottish game. Football really does get a bad deal in terms of who is given airtime to talk about the sport. Golf, Rugby, Snooker, Tennis, Swimming, Bowls, Darts etc... all have much better commentary and punditry that add to the event being watched. But what do we get on a Wednesday afternoon, Keith bloody Jackson emptying his load all over radio without any opposition. And don't get me started on that spluttering mess Billy Brown, get him right tae f**k. He's no business being anywhere near a microphone.

  29. Morrisons' advert involving a young girl, her father, a teddy bear, and a doughnut. I think it's her voice that pisses me off the most; it provokes unpleasant thoughts of the adults' voices in those irritating Haribo adverts.

  34. One of my highlights from the other night was during Menno De Jong. Me and my mate have got lost from each other. Menno is awesome so far and then he goes and drops this classic out of nowhere. Best feeling I've had in ages on a night out. Just jumping about with a bunch of sound c***s who you don't know but are on the same wave length as you.
