    Joey Barton is not the only person highlighting it, though.

    I get people really want Scottish Domestic Women’s football to be good, but it just isn’t.

    The reaction to any criticism of this display of goalkeeping is incredible tbh. This didn’t happen in an amateur Sunday League kick about - it was a national final broadcast on Satellite TV. It just shouldn’t be happening at that level

    Whats the objective standard of football that is permissible to be broadcast on TV?

    If we want womens football in Scotland to be better I'm not sure excluding it from media coverage unitl they meet tue good enough for broadcast standard is a great growth strategy.

    If they're keeping it a secret why the red dot?

    It's not a secret. I know about it and have no involvement with the club, as do plenty others. 

    Unlike other clubs in the city they don't feel obliged to do regular updates in the paper though.

    The red dot was for posting a rubbish post made in ignorance. The subsequent red dot was for moaning about red dots.

    It's annoying though, clubs happy to be the big boys in a low tier league spend all their cash on players instead of setting some aside to upgrade their grounds, at the expense of ambitious clubs putting the work in to progress. Culter in the North Juniors being another example. 

    Of which Broughty aren't one and are actively pursuing upgrading their facilities to facilitate a licensing bid.

    Not everything is done in the public domain.

    Interesting - maybe worth trying to take out another card that doesn't do that, just for this purpose?

    I've just closed my backup card account with Sainsburys, so I know they've got a vacancy  :P

    It's a Halifax Clarity specifically for foreign spending. They can go and get a Monzo or something but this just would have been a 5 second workaround.

    Sure, but I don't think you're supposed to. Might cause problems if your details are skimmed and it's obvious you've been using the card in two places at the same time anyway.

    Just order a second card in the other person's name; they all seem to let you do that.

    The other person's credit rating is suboptimal

    As others have said I'd be stunned (stunned I tell you) if this isn't an initial allocation and Raith get as many tickets as the need by selling sections in the JK.

    Unfortunately with a heavy heart Utd will have to charge you 27 quid for the top tier view though.

    I'm stunned 

  7. My mums partner died and their kids got a cash payout equal to the value of their share of the moveable estate.

    There is a gentleman's agreement that when my mum goes ill give them 50% of the house value.

    I get some really nice Xmas presents from them and they are really good to me. Let's hope they can keep that up.

    Nah, he was born in Cumbria at Ravenglass (and made in the royal navy)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick#:~:text=Patrick was born at the,(modern Ravenglass in Cumbria).

    (Having googled he could have come from anywhere that spoke a variation of Welsh at that time so we both have a claim)

    And King Arthur's from Cumbria too, Somerset can f**k off

    Arthur was from Edinburgh, hence the seat. Its referenced in Y Gododdin.
