Don’t think I like the idea, however I think we should have a one year trial next season just to make sure.

10/10 for Friday. total guess for YPM

10/10. Some lottery winning levels of guesswork on display there. Edit: I'm going to start listening to every song I'm not familiar with to see if I'm missing anything. So far, it's not terrible, but certainly not one I'll listen to again. 0/1.

I'm not sure about this new fund raising idea . There's only so many times you can go to the well and you would think it would only take people away from fss if anything. I mean if fans aren't keen to sign up to fss why would they be any keener to sign up for this?

10 for Friday, and knew them all for a change

Obviously the "aye but who are the real bigots here eh?" trope is done to death everywhere on the internet rather than just on P&B whenever someone puts their foot in it, as a load of people want to concern troll rather than explicitly admitting they agree with the original piece of bigotry. This is getting especially ridiculous though. What we're essentially dealing with here is the following. Politician: This is what I think about Issue X and here's my view on legislating about it Voter A - I disagree with this politician's view on Issue X and I feel strongly enough about this single issue that I'll never vote for this person Voter B - I disagree with this politician's view on Issue X and while I could disregard it in a local MSP, I wouldn't vote for them to run the country or a party Voter C - I disagree with this politician's view on Issue X and while this single issue alone isn't enough to stop me voting for them, combined with their views on Issues Y and Z I wouldn't vote for them Voter D - I disagree with this politician's view on Issue X and while it isn't going to stop me voting for them, I will challenge the view I disagree with. Then you have Voters E-Z covering a range of views from people who are undecided on Issue X, people who could not give the slightest shit about Issue X, right through to the people who vehemently agree with the politician on Issue X and would never vote for someone who disagrees, basically the polar opposite of Voter A. What we're being asked to believe here is that the only explanation for Voters A-D holding their stances is that they are intolerant and can't deal with any viewpoint differing to theirs, while Voters E-Z are the mature tolerant adults in the room. In reality these are simply the considerations taken into account by voters on a range of issues in literally every election which ever happens. If this was a Conservative leadership election and Issue X was taxation rates with the politician's stance being that there should a top rate of 98%, no one would be shocked at the intolerance of Voters A-D for disagreeing. If it was a Scottish Labour leadership election and the issue was supporting Scottish independence, no one would be shocked at the reaction of Voters A-D. If it was a Lib Dem election and the issue was Capital Punishment, etc. If it turns out enough SNP members disagree with Kate Forbes on various issues then she won't win the leadership election. This is simply how politics works.

Woo-hoo, two tens in a row.

It all makes more sense now….

Must be a Falkirk fan getting desperate.

That’s not an old leadership analogy that was ever applied to WWI. You’re thinking of “lions led by donkeys”. Or perhaps not. Perhaps you are actually thinking of “donkeys led by asses”. I wonder where that came from? I can only find it having been coined in the context of pallet-burning, swivel-eyed UK nationalism by Northern Ireland’s own David Vance (once banned from Twitter for sending “hateful” content to Marcus Rashford). You really can’t help yourself, can you? https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/a-case-of-donkeys-led-by-asses/28143711.html

Fs, cheers for pointing it out.

Hopefully Mhairi Black will stand in Scottish Parliament in the next election.

Crawford away to Morton on loan. I could kiss you Dougie Imrie you bed ruining man.

Tonight Nick McAllister can become Ayr United's all time leading goalscorer. All he needs to do is score 213 goals.

Physical? Aggressive? Tell me more Stuart.

Dont really have an issue with a few games a season being on Fridays, actually quite like them as a supporter. I am not sure its even remotely fair for us to have 4 games across March all on Fridays though, piss poor scheduling which could have been avoided.

The Equality Act understander has logged on

Centenary Shield u18 Scotland v R of Ireland 0-0 ft at Renfrew. Att probs 3-400. The Rep had better chances and bit more fluent, the young Scots better when they pushed up and pressed. Enjoyable night.

Woohoo 10 for Thursday, only 2nd ever maximum. Guessed the Kite.

That wonky halfway line is giving me anxiety

Correct. The mistake was not binning Ross, the mistake was replacing him with a guy who was totally inexperienced.

It's an odd rationale that you'd want to contribute to one and not the other. All the clubs efforts should be focussed on helping the FSS to grow not spreading the cash between various initiatives.

Poll of SNP supporters puts Forbes ahead in race to be next first minister (msn.com) But I thought the party and world were all going to hate her for daring to believe in traditional marriage? And they all post on the politics section of Pie & Bovril.

Of course not… I think both Dunfermline and Falkirk deserve to come up. If any other teams accidentally benefit from this altruism then so be it.

First for a while

McAlear was our best player by an absolute mile.

We all lose tonight mate watching this

Whoever took out Steven there should get a medal.

One of those 3 in charge of the country.

How do we hound Fraser Nelson out the door never to return? I would sign up for that.

Like a bandit?

Fan ownership will never work at our club? Don’t agree with that at all. These schemes take years and years to get to desired membership. It’s barely been a year? And the memberhsip is currently (slowishly) increasing? Would be a mental time to give it up.

Quick work from Mercurius

"Why do you hate Celtic?" "They believe in transubstantiation, and, quite frankly, that's something I simply can't get on board with"

Woo hoo 10 for Thursday, couple of educated guesses landed.

Funny you should say that, as the issue of why so many of her former staffers have NDAs has come up and she failed to answer when asked about bullying. Particularly enjoyed this short thread:

He played football year above me, he's many things, fraudster, charlatan and bare faced lier, but Ayr United fan he most certainly wasn't, supporter of a now deceased football club....YES

You should be able to vote to re-open nominations. A sort of try again option. I imagine it would get the most votes at the moment given the calibre of the candidates.

Thanks for the game. Is that now 5 in a row after 13 defeats, and should we be investigating far Eastern betting syndicates?

Hope they are better than the shite we've had to put up with on here...

The counter-reformation is on lads.

The homegenisation of towns and cities is sad. Every town/city is now first/stagecoach buses in the same colours, not the Glasgow white/green/orange, Ayrshire had AA in green and A1 in blue and the different areas had Lothian, Eastern, Tayside, Northern, Clydesdale etc all in own colours. Every main street now is a walk past Greggs, McDs, Primark, Starbucks and identically boring Every cinema is an identical Vue or Cineworld Used to see a city or town and it looked unique, Everywhere becoming boringly identical.

I’m always interested in what anyone has to say, including orfc. Always best to play the ball instead of “othering” the man.

Today's ease of access to music is something I would've loved when I was younger. Radio 1, (pop) was on Medium Wave, as were Radios Luxembourg and Caroline. The MW signal where I lived was almost non-existant, so they were out. That left the FM stations of Radio 2 (easy listening - my Dad's station of choice) or classical music on Radio 3 and talk on Radio 4. TV gave us Top of the Pops on Thursday, and on the very rare occasions when I was up after my parents, The Old Grey Whistle Test. New Musical Express, which we bought when we were being all pretentious and wanky, was filled with news about bands we'd never heard of. The 1 (one) record shop in my town was staffed by a bored munter barely out of school who knew nothing about music and didn't like teenage boys asking questions about it. And that was it. Buying an LP was incredibly stressful. Most of the time, I only knew the name of a band because older boys had scratched the name onto school desks*. An LP cost 2 weeks wages from the milk round. What if I didn't like it? Oh, to be able to pull up something like YouTube or Spotify to check out an artist or band first. And then to look at Wikipedia to learn the history behind the song, or to go on a forum to discuss it with other fans. Heaven. * The first album I bought using this review method was Pink Floyd's "Wish you Were Here", when I was 13. It's still one of my favourites.

What a fantastic player Flynn has been for us. Can play him just about anywhere and he'll do a job. He's been one of my favourite players over the last decade and looks like he has all the attributes to go on and be a terrific coach/manager.

Kettlewell saying we're one of the biggest clubs in the country. Good to know he's aware we are #MASSIVE.
