From the good ol' BBC Gossip page Dundee are due to play Motherwell on 6 April which would be one day less rest, but that's not important. Probably more for the tin pot thread if the SPFL are actually taking into consideration when the bigot derby is.

I don't even know what you mean with those first two lines, it's the opposite that's happening. Those teams should be allowed to have plastic pitches if they want them, their ambitions of rising up through the leagues shouldn't be negatively impacted by the top flight tories. If the vote took place tomorrow, Livingston would have a say despite being in the Championship next season and so would Motherwell, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, and Ross County who are still in that fight, whereas Dundee United, Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle, Airdrie, Morton, Dunfermline, Ayr, and Queens Park (all either in the top 4 or within 6 points of it) wouldn't have a vote - and you genuinely think that's fine because it "is for one league only"? Ignoring the silly wording that doesn't point out that it affects clubs who want to aim to be in that league. Should the vote occur at the end of every single season so the new team(s) in the top flight can have their say? Presumably we'll just vote on which teams are allowed to get promoted instead.

Very good point, it's not like anyone outside the top flight will ever play in it in the future. What would they even call that, "promotion" or something? I'd be surprised/think you were trolling if you weren't a Rangers fan tbf, logic out the window.

Even if we got that string of very unlikely results - and Ross County lost to Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, and Rangers - that's still a 4 point gap going into the split. Of course, off the back of a (hypothetical) run of form like that we'd have our tails up and be looking at beating County (which you'd think would be at home) and then picking up 2 points more than them from the remaining games, or just the 1 if we get a 10 goal swing to beat them on GD. I love getting carried away but even I'm not going to let my vulnerable little mind entertain the thought of us doing it. To answer the question though, I think even if we were to stay up it would be despite him rather than thanks to him. Stubbornly sticking to tactics that clearly weren't working, his supposed* shouting back at fans, throwing players under the bus in interviews (doesn't make it any better because you use the words "I take responsibility"), the amount of players he falls out with, none of it really points towards a manager who will be universally loved by the fans. If we get 11 points between now and the end of the season, never mind 11 points MORE than Ross County, I'll be pleasantly surprised. If he masterminds a comeback that then also sees us get through a playoff final, it would be the perfect "high" for him to sign off on. I don't think there's a realistic route for him to get back to the hero he was a couple years back. *I sit in C2 so haven't witnessed any of this, just based on what people have said on here/Twitter/Facebook.

Try saying that 10 times fast

This one always annoyed me an unnecessary amount as it's where the good guys live (even though it looks dark and evil). Snake Mountain for me.

Looks like Tony Macaroni aren't fancying extending their Stadium Naming Rights. Of all the shite stadium names we've had, the Spaghettihad will live on

No point typing this all out again. He needs to walk.

My maths might be off but I think we now need to beat Aberdeen before the split, Ross County after it, and pick up an extra 5 points after the split. Sounds doable until you combine it with needing County to lose every single game. We've been done for ages but that's it gone without doubt now.

Gives an unfair advantage IMHO

5 minutes for the stream to get turned off, a second goal before I could even get this posted Some laugh

No idea who was actually affected other than Holt, or who might still be out (Holt missed the Celtic game with it so would expect he was patient zero and is fine for this one), no real point guessing a starting 11. I'm sure Martindale will still be picking the team despite supposedly being in Switzerland instead of at this game, so we'll probably get Brandon in midfield and Sangare at left back. There's no version of our defence that doesn't look shaky, the only kind of saving grace is we've actually looked likely to score some goals recently, scoring 2 at Parkhead along with 1 off the post and a couple other good chances should at least be grounds for some optimism in that regard. Our biggest problem comes later in the game when we need to make changes, accentuated by the fact Martindale always seems to want to make the wrong changes, so maybe that's something his absence might help with. 7-5 Livi. Or 2-0 Hibs.

Aye saw that. Would be some laugh if we manage to win, would really ramp up the wild calls for Rice to take over.

What did you ask and what was his reply? Also not sure why but this has just reminded me of when he had a massive go at someone on Twitter because they were (correctly IMO) complaining about there never being hot water for taps in the toilets. A good laugh.

It also contains the phrase "won a flick-on to give the visitors field position" Haven't done a search but just assumed straight away whoever wrote it usually does American football or some other shite

I really like the away one tbh, the home one still just looks like a daft training top but will wait to see how it looks in the flesh (not expecting it to look any better mind) Definitely should have just kept the anniversary kit, or at least something very similar.

Agreed

Every time someone pops up trolling, Bing seems to be there to desperately latch onto whatever controversial 'opinion' they're coming out with. Bit strange IMO but to each their own.

Very good at collecting crosses, some might disagree

Why would that stop Rangers and Celtic fans being detestable bigot vermin?

Aye, makes you 100% believe what he's said and lets you know that he isn't constantly talking shite

Can't believe I'm getting this in before one of the usual suspects, but I see Neil Rankine has been appointed as a secretary to OPPCO 6. I can't believe there's nothing in place to stop him being anywhere near the club never a dull day

I fucking love Tete Yengi

Just the 3 Celtic players free in the box there Still almost got away with it but Montano forgets how to kick a ball, f**k me
