I haven't watched the Lions much this year but I can now confirm, we won't be getting the #1 pick this year. No way that Lions team are going to pick up 2 wins from here.

It's all about execution. The Rams plan isn't a great model to follow, but they've done it well. You could argue Bill O'Brien was trying and horrifically failing at doing similar for a while by spending all of his draft picks too. Stockpiling draft picks should be a good way to build up a team, but many teams do an absolutely dreadful job of it too. Every GM thinks they're a genius, but if they're genuinely good at their job then there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Hours to go until the trade deadline. Will Watson get his move? John McClain at the Houston Chronicle (the guy who gets spoon fed by the Texans) claims Watson's trying to settle the claims so that he can move today.

That's nice of them. It's a thoroughly horrible experience at the best of times anyway.

It's a temporary ban at the moment. Essentially I've given him a time-out in the corner. Nothing has been deleted, except the "thread title" of his new thread which merged back into the Dundee Utd one. It was a lovely attack on myself and Forfinn.

Well that took a turn.

Of all our championship residing former forwards Brian Graham would be the one that would most comfortably step back up to this level again. Brian Graham > Jordan White Billy Mackay > Alex Samuel Edit: Also, P&B > OTB. Burn it, burn it now.

"Shall I go down one step, to cut out that rusty beam?" "No, no, it's perfect. The dim lighting, the shadow from the flash, the rusty steel. Just perfect."

The Adams' situation became toxic because there was two of them, and the relationship with Roy and some of the players became an "us" vs "them" mentality. I would happily take either Adams back, just not both of them.

Probably a more succinct version of what I was trying to say.

This is my view. Also, let's be honest here, he's not just one rotten egg in an otherwise perfect industry. As Yoda pointed out earlier, the game is rife with racists, bigots, homophobes, sex offenders, violent offenders and the like. And that's just the ones we know about. There will be many in the game similar to Mackay, he just happened to be stupid and careless enough to get it put out there. He's done his training and counselling, and the anti-racism campaigns are on board with him, but he hasn't publicly shown any contrition or proactively tried to atone. It's difficult, I always prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I'd rather it wasn't my club welcoming him with open arms.

9 years. You can tell because the development of the East Stand isn't quite finished in the background.

So you're saying if you make a bad choice, your best option is to double down on it instead of trying again?
