She had it, baby girl, get those tables up.....

My job is so fucking unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with: First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe. The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat. But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day. Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

Apparently they have replaced them with pyramids

Utter and complete pish.

For anyone who wants to have gauge how far we have come - I recall a game close to the end of Roberts' tenure where, in front of under 1000 fans, we had to watch Craig Beattie don the Number 5 top and play Centre Back. Holy. Christ.

Hopefully Buaben can come in and make a big difference. I'd quite like a right back to come in (I know, captain obvious) and move Muirhead into the middle with McGhee, now I'm not saying Muirhead in the middle is the answer but it will in my opinion be a good bit better Harrison or Dallison. If Mitchell stays fit then he will be fine in goals. Those small changes could improve us a fair bit.

It was just a matter of time before you showed up!!![emoji23][emoji23] You and Frankieboy are just like the centrefold in a skud book, wherever there's a c**t up front and on display making an exhibition of themselves there's usually an arsehole close by!!!

Absolutely not

Like Dick Campbell? Like Derek Whyte? If the same logic which applies to Archibald and Lambie doesn't apply to Campbell and Whyte, feel free to explain why. This is happy clapper 101 which happens at every club when someone who has a slavish devotion to a manager for whatever reason just can't accept that they're failing. They say no alternative manager could do better, a reasonable person points out that the merits of other managers are irrelevant to the job the incumbent is doing, the happy clapper responds by saying this only proves no one can provide a name who'd do better. Then someone does suggest an alternative manager and they pour scorn on that manager's record, reaching to far more preposterous angles to discredit that manager than any fellow fan of their club is offering to argue the incumbent has to go. Months down the line, if the happy clapper's favoured manager is still in post and underperforming while that suggested alternative is doing a superb job elsewhere, that counts for f**k all. You don't know it would have turned out better, maybe that one club is just right for that manager, it doesn't mean it'll work out here. If the happy clapper's favoured manager has been sacked, you should be regretting it even if you're in a better position than you were when he left, because it was bound to come good if you just stuck by that club legend and he'd certainly be doing better than whoever this upstart is. The happy clappers I've described above like to claim they're the true fans of their club, but in reality they're more concerned with saving their own face. While they love to deride anyone who dares criticise a failure as not being a real fan for daring to speak up, the people criticising want a change because they're concerned about what's best for their club, they think the manager is beyond delivering it and they're willing to hold their hands up and admit the mistake if they previously supported that manager; the happy clappers in question would rather their club suffered three successive relegations than ever admit they were wrong about their precious club legend. Their own non-existent reputation for accuracy is genuinely more important to those self proclaimed superfans than the future of their football club. As I'm not a Partick Thistle fan I can't say for sure, but I can only assume that Colin Quinn was protesting outside Firhill when Gerry Collins was sacked.

I put that picture on Twitter a couple of years ago, my mum found it when they were emptying my grans house after she passed away. My granddad is standing behind the left shoulder of the woman wearing white. He was Scots/Italian, so he's the one with the tan! That flag is 100% genuine, that photo is taken at Prestwick Airport before the headed to Lisbon. My grandparents stayed about 100 yards from where Bobby Lennox has stayed for years. My parents stay even closer to him. Small world!

The last referendum went from 30% to 45% during the campaign. If we wait for a steady 60% there will probably never be another chance in a generation anyway. The timing is crucial, but is always going to be a gamble. I'd say as soon as the final deal on Brexit is clear. Throw another mix in the chaos and see what we come out with.

Banned from remaining games against Dundee this season and if Dundee do go down, he gets executed in the centre circle at our first competitive home match of the 19/20 season.

I feel I should add that I would actually still be happier with : Mitchell Kidd Muirhead McGhee Robson Vaulks Petra Rudden and literally start every game with 8 men.

To be fair to them, they haven't been inactive . We've punted Hartley and his clown assistants at a cost, punted the idiot scout, brought in McKinnon and his backroom team and allowed him to sign Buaben on a free, as well as starting the January clear out (which would have cost money). The acid test is to come in the next window but I think the board are very well aware of the shit we are in and what's needed to get 9th in this league.

Took part in my first Ultra Marathon at the weekend in Dunoon. 34 miles round Loch Eck, with about 4,000ft of climb. Having never ran more than a half marathon in a race... Managed to get round in one piece in 5 hours 35. In all honesty, the physical side of it wasn't too bad. More mentally draining, especially when my body didn't want to take on any fuel! Big lessons in that side of the tactics. Not that I'm jumping at the bit to sign up for another one soon! Looking forward to getting back to parkruns and some XC

Both disabled toilets and a covered accessible viewing area (with space for at least 2 wheelchairs and 2 seated companions) are already a requirement for the Entry Level. The question then is whether these things are installed to the letter or spirit of the requirement. We spent quite a bit more than we'd have needed to just to fulfil the criteria because we wanted our supporters who need a bit of help to get to games to feel valued. That said, we had good support from the SFPT which made all the difference.

From the little that's available at this remove the junior/senior thing seemed to be a lot more nebulous certainly until the advent of leagues in the 1890s. We formed in 1884 - it's all documented, and I could give you the exact date and address the meeting took place if I could be arsed digging it out - but not explicitly as a junior club, and we seemed to flit between the two for the first decade or so, with most of the sides we played in friendlies (no leagues, remember) being smaller clubs including some recognisable junior teams, although we also entered the "big" Scottish on several occasions, normally to get a hiding off the first big side we played! I suspect the junior/senior divide was initially artificial as the "bigger" clubs eventually formed an informal closed shop in as much as they would tend more and more to play friendlies amongst themselves as they would draw bigger crowds and play better opposItion. The smaller - for this read "junior" - clubs were left to play themselves and the two groups coalesced into what eventually was formalised with the advent of leagues...it certainly looks like it was much more of a continuum than a formal divide in the early days though.

"Can I interest you in some pegs?"

RIP Greg Tansey.

There's a calculator salesman in a major city in southern Spain who'd take you to task on this...

I don’t think it’s melodramatic at all to say that this is the worst Falkirk team ever. 100% the worst in my lifetime. I can’t speak before then but this lot have to be up there. It’s actually bewildering how bad they are.

It's not being melodramatic, though. Last year was the worst team I'd seen in 34 years. Only two teams came close - the 'relegation' season and the Ochilview season. Both of those teams had mitigating circumstances, last season's didn't. At this stage last season, it was the worst team I'd seen in my life. This season is worse. If you think I'm being melodramatic, then go on - name me a worse team.

Fucking hell, must have missed the 'no talking in league grounds' rule. Groundhop Day covers 1 fixture, every other match has got a far more predictable KO time, at guess what, you actually know where your game will be taking place with a bit of notice. You actually agree that there is no collective effort to improve standards is a good thing? As for the last bit, what a load of absolute shite, it doesn't add up to any scrutiny, there is a wide variety of towns across Scotland represented in the senior game. And small clubs are far from happily chucked aside. Tweedmouth, inverkeithing, welcomed. Duns, Selkirk? Their demise gained very similar reaction to when the likes of steelend or ballingry went.

Probably, if you try reeeaaallllyyyy hard.

Well then here's your opportunity - What is it specifically that these people who enjoy Junior football like so much that can't be replicated in other, non-league football? I also wouldn't ever call anyone who supports any football team at any level a dinosaur (Well, maybe a Celtic or Rangers* fan), but what is a little odd is thinking that floodlights, fixture lists, facilities such as cover/toilets/areas for the disabled etc are somehow frightening. Again, if you can enlighten me as to why that would be great.

Blurb removed. This is just incredible stuff really. I've watched Linlithgow Rose through generations. Last weekend, I went to the same Prestonfield. I watched many of the same players as last season. They hit the ball into the same goals. The guys I watched the match with were the same ones I always watch the match with. Apart from a transitional season whilst we deal with the merger of clubs from different leagues, nothing is materially different other than that I miss the junior cup despite its multitude of flaws.

RIP Shades. Part of the Turnull’s Tornadoes, won the League Cup in 72, and played in the 0-7 against Hearts. Great player for Hibs and quite the tragedy.

Can we just all accept that EdiBairn's claim that vast majority of last year's squad are now playing at a higher level than us is a load of pish?

The Hibee is Eric Shaedler not Pat Stanton

I was there.

Only another £248k and those lavvies will be fit for League 2.

Started off well then lost me. Russell and Robson as attacking wide men would create zero. Mitchell Kidd Muirhead McGhee Russell Petra Bauben McKee Dunne Rudden O'Hara

I want Brough as far away from this team as humanly possible

I'd like to think Buaben will keep Paton out the team. McGhee needs to now play at centre half every week.

Looks like he's just passed his refrigerant theory and practical exam tbh

He would be absolutely delighted that the SA encourages "players' girlfriends" to travel on the supporters' bus

Fucking illuminati b*****ds.

The Argo hits an iceberg and sinks, Jason is actually a ghost, and the Argonauts find their friend asleep on the roof of the casino. Welcome.

Got to say, I don't think any club without decent disabled access should be in the SPFL. Linlithgow Rose installed disabled toilets last season and a new, raised and covered disabled viewing area this season. Since then it's been well used and I might be wrong but I don't remember seeing the guys using it at games before - presumably the lack of access was preventing them from coming. I think every club who can afford it should be expected to have disabled facilities now, and certainly as a minimum for SPFL. Disabled fans should be able to follow their team home and away at that level.

Some of my first memories of the internet were on ptfc.net thinking who is this fucking clown red monkey. Clearly still a fucking roaster. Tragic.

Well I'm convinced. Right wing fuckwits "generally call them that", so it must be true. Bring on the re-education camps and Great Famine. Now although you can't see me, I'm doing that childish face where you jam your tongue underneath your bottom lip and in front of your teeth. It's a satirical impression of you.

It's utterly ludicrous for grown men to wait outside a football stadium to shout abuse at any player, never mind players who are simply out of their depth at a level far exceeding their abilities. Anyone who thinks abusing people who are giving their all is going to make them any better is completely thick. These players didn't sign themselves, and most people in any industry would jump at the chance of promotion to a better role just like they did. Hopefully those involved won't be back at the stadium.

Simple. If a party (or parties) include in their election manifesto a commitment to hold a referendum only in the event of a change, followed by that (or those parties) winning said election, which in turn is followed by that literal change happening, they should be able to hold that second referendum. This is how democracy works. If you voted Green (you voted Labour) then you have actually contributed to putting a pro Indy government in place, which makes you a spectacularly thick c**t. Just for the lolz and bearing the above in mind, explain your version of "democracy". [emoji38]

Will greeny if you post a pic of it smashed into a million tiny pieces, with one of them jammed under his pinky nail

The Linlithgowshire Cup was probably pawned ......................Time for a new competition called "The Auld Heid Cup" .
