  1. You would bring the house down at many a Faculty dinner dance with that one. Bravo.
  2. It's not the top clubs though, is it. If my granny had baws etc. There are a few mainstream journalists (Tom English on Sportsound, Stephen McGowan at the Daily Heil) who have made mention of our troubles, but those mentions have either been sensationalist comments or regurgitation of what is already out there. McGowan took the statement from the club following Rankine's court appearance, added a couple of forthcoming court dates, threw in no quotes from anyone and put out a piece which went over two pages. I'm definitely with you though in wondering what the end games is for Hogarth/Rankine.
  3. Depends who you mean by the press I suppose. If you mean the written press, our local paper is in its final throes, the national dailys are the same (and constantly in thrall to bigger clubs). Social outlets like PLZ and that kind of guff are not interested in behind the scenes intricacies.
  4. I read about this a few weeks ago. It's a subject close to my heart as I suffer from Crohns, and have done since I was 7. Wonderful advances in medicine mean that invasive surgery isn't the go to treatment option any more (too late for me sadly), but there isn't a bona fide cure for either Colitis or Crohns, nor do they know for definite how people come to suffer from it. Knowing how the disease has impacted on my life means that I can categorically say that, for me, Jack Fitzwater is a genuine Livi Legend. He's been through hell.
  5. It’s a little bit more than just giving advice. Especially when it comes to evidential proofs. It’s about building and presenting a case with the intention of winning, no matter the standard of evidence you’re given by your client. It was built and presented shambolically, and that is NOTHING to do with LFC. That’s not nitpicking, itself pointing out a glaring error made on your part. Leaving all that aside, and this is purely my opinion - LFC could have won their case, if they had different legal representation.
  6. I did read the judgement. The case was flawed for many reasons. It was you though who said that the club didnt put a coherent case together. I’m merely pointing out your mistake there.
  7. It’s not Livingston’s fault either. It’s the job of their legal representatives to build a case, no one else.
  8. This could be said of any pundit/presenter/commentator nowadays. I remember reading of a BBC MOTD production meeting held on a Monday morning following a weekend full of goals, incident etc. Despite the ratings being good, the bosses were raging that their social media interactions were lower than the week before. It's like Peter Drury - folk (not me) love his "ROMA HAVE RISEN FROM THEIR RUINS" schtick when they watch the goal on Twitter. Listen to it for a full game approaching two hours? f**k no.
  9. 60 points for someone that age is helluva good scoring chief
  10. A long serving player synonymous with the club should be the first/only criteria for managing in the #Barclays. Ideally, the individual should also have experience of playing in "the greatest league in the world" as well. Liverpool - Stevie G. Manchester United - Eric Cantona. Spurs - Gary Mabbutt. Praying for Southampton to get promoted so that Le Tiss has to take the hot seat.
  11. David Gilroy posting from the jail IMHO. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Suzanne_Pilley
  12. What do you mean, “even the SFA”? They’re not the Illuminati FFS. Their determination on who owns the club will be entirely dependent on the what the club tell them. Given that the club are in court to determine that very thing, they can’t tell the SFA anything.
  13. Seen this movie before, haven’t we? Seen it this season in fact. Idah to come on and score a couple. Celtic are so thoroughly bad though. This is shitting the bed on an industrial scale.
  14. Nail on head for me. In order to have the slimmest of chances of staying up, we need to win three more games than Ross County. Not just 3 games out of 11 remaining - but 3 games MORE than Ross County. Unless of course weren’t expecting Ross County to pick up no more points between now and the end of the season. What that essentially piece boils down to is the SFA wanting to know who categorically owns the club before they can then assess whether they are fit and proper.
  15. Plenty reasons there for keeping County up, and I agree wholeheartedly with the Wimpy shout; but you don't have to drink in the shopping centre at all. Indeed, if you choose to drink in the shopping centre then you're doing it wrong. And by "it", I mean everything. You've failed at life without even having an attempt on target.
  16. I had hoped that Ratcliffe was going to be successful in getting his shoes under the table. I always liked the cut of his jib. He can f**k right off though with any talk of state funding for a New Trafford. He can also f**k right off with any talk of Greenwood wearing the shirt again. And his three year aim is a nonsense as well. I think I’d rather have the Glazers being mute than Ratcliffe’s first official ramblings.
  17. Is this the expenses hearing I’ve been asking you about? Following on from Braid’s judgement in October?
  18. Shite situation, and I really feel for you. All of you in fact. I see your situation daily and I dare say it’s no comfort at all, but the amount of relationships that break down is staggering. You’re not on your own. In relation to your last paragraph - it absolutely can work out. That absolutely depends on the individuals involved though. Lots of give and take will be needed. Be open minded - too many people go into these situations completely closed to any sort of compromise, be it around the kids, or the finances, or the house, or whatever. All the very best. PM me anytime.
  19. I think I can trump that. My daughter is dancing at a Ukrainian Benefit concert thing at a cathedral in Edinburgh. I’m destined to yell in affirmation as Tete Yengii bangs one in just as someone on stage mentions Putin.
  20. You've no idea how much this kind of stuff enrages me. In relation to complaints etc., the firm that your mum are using should have an internal complaints procedure. Details of it should be in your mum's Terms of Business letter, which she should have got at the start of the process. That would need to be followed first I would imagine before the SLCC would get involved. I wouldn't worry too much about seeking another solicitors view on things - there will be solicitors around (we certainly do) where the first appointment is always free. You would find that the original solicitor would probably withdraw from acting if you sought advice elsewhere but it sounds like, in this case, that may be no bad thing. As an aside, from a personal point of view, that kind of wait for your mum and the inaction of the solicitor is woefully bad.
