  1. Are you even a serious professional football club if you haven't at least dipped your toe into the overnight accommodation and hospitality market The Park Hotel is has 50 beds whilst the Tynecastle Hotel is only has 25 beds which gives Killie a definite advantage The Park is the only four star hotel in Kilmarnock making it a domestic giant like Bayern Munich. Tynecastle has four stars but that's mid table respectability in the more competitive capital And the Skyline restaurant has 5 Stars on trip advisor one more than "Blues" so hope is not lost for the capital Weighing everything up I'm predicting a draw
  2. Well he'd put in a hell of a shift he seemed to be everywhere Anyway we went to the Museum of Modern Art on Queen Street and had a nice, Italian meal for lunch so the day out in Glasgow wasn't a total write off The NHOTB + RAD installation on the ground floor is worth a look if you happen to be on Queen Street and Sam Ainsley's exhibition is another highlight
  3. Your number 42 was the best performance on the park he was doing to Hearts what we usually expect Hearts to do to other teams
  4. The first stage of the Tour De France also happens that day in Italy running from Florence to Turin
  5. England play their 2nd One Day Cricket international against Pakistan at Edgbaston
  6. I’d always assumed there’d be a bit more of that nonsense in Dundee given that they had more Irish Immigration Heartened to find I was wrong Well done
  7. For £40 you can watch the game for £30 you can say you were there but that’s about it
  8. People complaining about the act of settlement strike me as a bit odd. It always sounds as if they’re fine with the whole hereditary head of state arrangement apart from that one detail that makes it seem a little bit inequitable. It’s like when Claire Short complained about Page 3 of the Sun as if the other fifty-fifty pages were perfectly fine
  9. And of course there are cringing royalists who are also staunch Roman Catholics. Jacob Rees Mogg, Ann Widdecombe and the ghost of Jimmy Saville ETA: that's "staunch" in it's normal outside world sense as opposed to the P&B vernacular obviously
  10. I'm more concerned about winning the cup two more times so we can catch up with Queens Park The spiders have had gloating rights for too long
  11. I was confused for a moment because Dalry, Edinburgh is pretty cultured and cosmopolitan these days
  12. Don't that sort of people engage enough whataboutery and faux "victimhood" as it is without actively incentivising them to be "offended" As with the offensive behaviour at football grounds act any measures by the SPFL would probably trigger the law of unintended consequnces
  13. We're possibly into double figures left now Irritatingly , after I've booked decent seats in the North stand a block of really good ones seats have appeared in the top tier of the South Stand I should have waited longer
  14. He wasn't clear whether the four weeks of "Teaching him about sectarianism." was trying to teach him how to be sectarian or how not to be sectarian I'm hoping it's the latter but given that it's Ayrshire we can't assume anything
  15. It’s Glens isn’t it thank you for your proof reading services
  16. There’s a few behind the goals but a few random available seats keep appearing in other previously sold out sections which must be returns or something I wasn’t going to go because I thought I’d left it too late to get decent tickets but then I saw a couple of good seats in the north stand appear out of nowhere so I’m onboard
  17. It's a plausible hypothesis that can't be discarded out of hand but I'd also suggest another couple of possibilities... The idea of interfering in the market was always ideologically problematic for Tories and they were always liable to to ditch it when politically convenient The people that make Grant's Vodka have donated lots of money to the Tories in return for them defending their interests
  18. Unfortunately Hearts haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders of late either. We've taken 7 points from 4 but we made pretty heavy going of it I've put £20 on Hearts at 5/1 to go through as insurance, because Cup Finals are expensive days out
  19. More to the point you I and thousands like us are also benefactors I've apparently given them £2,604 so far through a shadowy foundation In fact we're worse than Anderson because after all we are the owners of the club propping it up by subsidising it's losses from our own pocket, we're as bad as Farad Moshiri. The Well Society are clearly at it as well and the SMISA for that matter and Morton Club Together should be ashamed of themselves
  20. Here we only have penalties for clubs going into administration which is like waiting till you crash your car before giving you a fine for drunk driving and if you make it home safely then you're fine That's not to say that adopting the English Premiership's rules wholesale is necessarily a good thing but some kind of oversight might be a good idea. I'd suggest that if your wage bill is over 80% of revenue then the league should take measures. But In the first instance these should be preventative as opposed to punitive, you should be need league approval for any new signings and have to demonstrate that they're fiscally responsible
  21. Although why Sky would want it to kick off simultaneously with Fulham vs Man City is another question
