c**t at Motherwell barged into me while simultaneously saying sorry, so he could get on the train ahead of me. I was too tired to react, but, I did take great delight in telling him to get off my reserved seat he'd decided to plonk himself on. Instant karma.

Don't know whats going on here with the pull-ups on the ornamental arch, think he's trying to gain upper body strength/mass.

For those who have been asking, the directors page on the club website has now been updated to give a little more info on those who make the decisions https://eastfifefc.info/club/officials

It's "Your Eminence" you little bollocks.

This show is nearly as good as Motherwell Social media and I'm not a motherwell fan.

Your close to city centre so a few pubs the market or tickety boos/nicols are decent or a Jimmy chungs Tony macaroni are fairly close as well My only suggestion is don't go anywhere Kev has offered up.

Wish Bob would just f**k off again tbh

Come on Rovers keep it going.....

Glenrothes without Thornton.

This c***s no getting it.

People who have been to Amsterdam once or twice, possibly to smoke weed and have sex with prostitutes, things that are readily available here anyway who refer to it as 'The Dam' as if it's their fucking local and regular hang out place, sub human scum. Quite possibly the same types who wear their fucking T in the Park/TRSMT wristband still, six months after the fucking festival...oh look how cool I am, I went to a festival last summer. Utter w**k puffins.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47697708 Never a truer word. Indescribably poor and amateurish organisation throwing their weight around against smaller Scottish clubs whilst Rome burns ( mixing my metaphors) Meanwhile - the Old Firm will again behave wonderfully this weekend.

Pedantic fucker ain't you

Nope it becomes cheating when you con folk out of their business money, work time and pay them tuppence in the pound, as a return for services rendered. Now that's the Pars. Now push off back to your own clubs thread.

The SNP would be entering a GE with a leader who has been the only credible witness in the unfolding Brexit debacle; people may like or dislike her but Sturgeon has retained a consistent, coherent line on how Scotland stands to be affected. Secondly, the Unionist canard of 2014 about being 'better together' offering the insurance of continued EU membership should be shouted from every rooftop until Ruth Davidson's ears are bleeding. Thirdly, as Renton says above now is not the time for electoral self-indulgence in Scotland; as a former Labour voter I have absolutely NO intention of tactical voting and I would encourage others in a similar position to hold the line. The retired English gammons in Moray, the Unionist Orange boneheads and the queer folk in the Borders are lost causes but that should leave more than enough electoral clout to provide a strong and clear SNP mandate, provided the gloves are well and truly taken off.

f**k England.

The fact that we are no further forward with this and that applicant clubs are left in limbo is just appalling on the part of the SFA. The Licensing Committee, as I understand it, do all the assessment work with regard to policies, documentation, procedures etc and with regard to suitability of ground and facilities too. Any discrepancies are then highlighted with an opportunity for the club being assessed to put things right before a pass or fail ‘report’ is issued. This ‘report’ is then put to a meeting of the Licensing Committee with a recommendation to confirm a passing clubs application meets all necessary requirements. Once the application is confirmed it’s the task of the SFA board to merely rubber stamp the application and confirm membership. The Licensing Committee can then issue a license. So, all the SFA Board are required to do, really, is rubber stamp all applications recommended to them by the Licensing Committee. This, surely, could easily be done by conference call with no need to wait for the next board meeting. The fact that this hasn’t happened is showing absolute contempt for the clubs involved. It’s just another example of the litany of failure and lack of understanding associated with the SFA and is why the current incumbents in positions of power are not fit for purpose.

Who fucking cares how many fans County or that Welsh mob took? I'm sure they all had a solid day out and County fans especially winning the thing. Our crowd against Dumbarton last season wasn't anything special but I still had a belter of a day out, saw my team win the cup and spewed in a bin on the train back to Edinburgh. Doesn't matter if there was only a couple thousand of us there it was a great day.

A good win tonight at the k park. Fair play to Spartans-they played well and could easily have taken something from the game..now to keep the momentum going for the play offs!

Similar with Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. He never sings the title once in the whole song.

Unlike Danger.

Banks pretending to care that branches are being closed down and blaming it on customers not using them. This afternoon I walked into to my local branch to enquire about setting up a business account, as I thought that having one around the corner would be quite handy. What was I told though? To go home and apply for it all online (and then do everything online in future). So you're actively encouraging people not to use the branch then. Sadly I could see the pain in the girl's eyes, the look of somebody who knows her job is on borrowed time. Not even a single pensioner in the place.

Gidi Grill in the Quay, too. I refuse to believe fellow Dee brethren enjoy places like Tony Macaroni, Jimmy Chungs and Taza. Not having it.

Moody Blues -The Best Way To Travel

Ross Forbes will have the full player list to confirm I'm sure, but you're right that Millar left us before we were relegated. He was brought in by Stevie Aitken when he first signed on, Aitken and Farrell both worked with him at Stranraer so it made sense. He scouted opposition teams for us and obviously identify possible targets. I'm not sure anyone at Dumbarton has record of who Millar recommended we sign, but one thing is for certain, when Millar left our squad building got worse. I don't think it was all down to Millar leaving (Aitken's head was turned by the Raith job coming available and he took 3 weeks on holiday when really he should have been building our squad) but it probably did have an effect. When Faz left to manage Stranraer Millar wasn't far behind him. As I've said before on here, Murray always looked to the leagues above for players to sign rather than finding gems in the lower leagues, if he gets someone on board with a bit more knowledge of the lower end of Scottish football that can only be a good thing.

Trying to take stock here, and from what I can see there is a lot of dissatisfaction but no clear consensus on where that should be directed. FWIW I agree with the posts in the last page or so re demanding McLeish's sacking will have the unwanted side effect of perpetuating the SFA's current way of doing things. In other words, we'll be at the mercy of their piss-poor recruitment for a replacement manager. I also noted with interest this morning that ROI are planning a tennis ball protest this evening vs Georgia (to which Mick McCarthy quipped "I'd better bring a racquet then"), and I do think there is more to be gained from an 'active' protest as opposed to simply staying away, which can be glossed-over too easily. But Scarf rightly argued that fans paying into the game then protesting probably suits the SFA to an extent, as they get their money and keep their balance sheet looking healthy. So with all that in mind, perhaps an effective approach could be: Form a mini-manifesto. Nothing tangled or slippery. Basically a one-liner demanding revolution at the SFA. Boycott the Cyprus game. Those who boycott it don't just stay away, but go to Hampden and gather outside on matchday. Imagine , say, 10k inside and 15k outside and singing louder. It'd be a hell of an embarrassment for the SFA and it would certainly attract media attention (Sky, BBC etc would all be there). Also, crucially, the SFA wouldn't get their pennies out of the protestors. Anyway, that's my two penneth. Feel free to give this post downvotes on 9th June after we all end up getting water cannoned and chased by police horses.

10 for Monday 10 for Tuesday and 10 for Wednesday. Cough.

Just read this without any context and laughed. That's all.

The whole story is beyond mental, near enough certain that it's her running the account, the type of posts/phrasing on is identical to her old one. Also folk have pointed out that in a couple of the old photoshopped photos from the last case, you can see in the reflection its him taking the photos of her and her supposed boyfriend which means they were together the whole time she was pretending to be with this other chap. Regardless though some of the patter on twitter has been amusing :

If these have already been posted, apologies. If not, enjoy! [emoji51] Dons beating the h*ns at Hampden after defeating them in Europe [emoji813]️

Dire Straits : Wild West End

Mass walk out. Mass boycott. Throwing shite on to the pitch. All the kind of stuff that require baws and guile, which won’t happen. Scottish people we’re talking about here. Just like when we voted No in 2014.

Nelson apparently back in full training and will be available for the game against St Mirren at the weekend.

No, this is how Ted Bundy got started.

From the late 80s I used to go to almost every home game, then from the mid 2000s I stopped going to friendlies because the team and management clearly weren't taking them seriously at all. I was an SSC member from about 2003 to 2011-ish. I was still going to every competitive game until the mental price hike in 2014. I remember watching the Georgia game on TV and feeling pretty bitter. In the Euro 2016 qualifiers I only went to the Germany and Poland games; I haven't been since and can't see me going back until an awful lot changes. The SFA's utter inability to develop football in Scotland, the ticket prices, the terrible football, but also how shit it is to sit in the family section behind the goals at Hampden, miles away from the pitch and on a low rake. Then at the Poland game, for the first time in decades at a football game I didn't feel we were completely safe. There were Polish cnuts with flares everywhere, and at seats for which they didn't have tickets. I saw one family go home before the match had even kicked off because of a gang of Poles at the seats. The stewards had lost control of the ground and one that I spoke to looked genuinely scared. I was also raging at loads of ignorant adults in the family section without kids, standing and preventing kids from being able to see. So yeah, I've been doing a one-family boycott for three and a half years and I can't see it changing any time soon. I'll sign up if there's something to sign up to, because I really miss it and I'd definitely be there for every game if things improve.

He's lucky he wasn't done for bleach of the piece.

An example of calculating the ranking points is shown here. I started looking at the rankings last week when I heard there might be a chance of us being in pot 2 for world cup quali (it's safe to say there's no chance of that any more). It's a bit difficult understanding the formula, but I eventually got in into a spreadsheet. dr = the difference in points between the teams. It's also to the power of 10. The wiki article makes it look like just a subtraction. The formula for the Kazakhstan game was 1446+25*(0-(1/(10^(-(1446-1159)/600)+1))) I've tested it using previous ranking points so I believe it's correct. At the next rankings we will be on 1429.7pts (rounded up to 1430, I believe). I presume we'll drop around 10 places depending on other teams results.

When Ayr United were last in the top flight players dressed like this...

As a teenager I got chucked by a girlfriend (total wid as well) for not halfing in for a taxi one night. Not sure if it was me or her that was the tight one!!? The thing is, I had come out the nightclub totally skint and told her I was walking home. She said she'd drop me off in her taxi as it was on the same route to hers. Then I got ditched for not halfing in!! Still scunnered about it 35 years later.

Lissie - Wild Wild West

A fried egg has the perfect in-built sauce and does not require addition. Tomato ketchup is for kids to have with their happy meals and doesn't belong anywhere near an adults diet. You are therefore wrong and a moron.
