So there is competition for players and managers if they leave a football club for another under contract but why are all these directors of football and footballing operations not able to move freely between clubs?
Players and managers are not free to move between clubs if under contract. If you mean why are clubs more willing to negotiate to let players and managers break the contract compared to directors of football/football operations - maybe the latter have more access to commercially sensitive information etc?

My son was looking for a pair of brown shoes so we took a look in my shoe cabinet. There were a half-dozen pairs of so that were from the early 2000's. He's now the new owner of a pair of brown ankle boots from Next - the price tag was still on them b.t.w £49.something.
Update - the sole fell off one of the shoes when he was out last night.

What is the positive case for allowing mobile phones in the classroom? Aside from 'kids will go mental if you take their phones'?
Haven't you read all of those links above?

Does that not just mean Celtic fans would have to travel from Glasgow to buy those tickets from the shop?………….
It's probably more for Celtic fans living in Dundee.

For the Premier League shirts on kids, that's been the case for 30 years or more.
More like 50 years. Not many Christmases went by when I didn't get an English top. At secondary school most kids wore an English top for PE.

Both teams hitting form at the right time of the season, this one will be a lot harder fought than other games this season but I still expect a Celtic win unfortunately.
These games are free hits for us. I'd like us to start with a formation and line up that similar to the Rangers game but I think we may go back to a 3-5-2. Rangers punted it long constantly so there was no need to congest the midfield where I think we need to do that in this game.
Tiffoney and Bakayoko up front as normal.
Given how tight it's likely to be for 5th it may be a free hit points-wise (although I'm not so sure this time) buy we need to avoid a heavy defeat to help that -5 GD over St M.

I meant the reason…
There is no clear reason, apparently, but...
For many years in the Middle Ages, people believed that when you sneezed, your spirit left your body for a second. So, the thought went, to say "bless you" could bring you back to life and also keep evil spirits from entering you in the instant or two that you were believed to have been gone.
During the bubonic plague saying "God bless you" offered a desperate prayer for health and protection against the deadly disease. Pope Gregory is said to have encouraged people to embrace these blessings during that doom-filled era.

That will go down as a rare blot on an otherwise fantastic first season back in the top flight for Dundee and a first season as a manager for Tony Docherty.
Nah, already forgotten by most Dees. Until some d**k brings it up, that is!

Is that true? I thought it was just something said by millhouse in the Simpsons
Yes, it's true that many people say bless you when someone sneezes.

Pick it up, you never know when you'll be 5p short for a pint.
Correct...I was 1 peso (about 1 1/2p) short when buying a barbequed chicken Saturday night. Good c**t that he was he just said drop it in next time you're passing. I'll need to find a different route now, of course!

I think there's very little difference between a balanced Premiership squad from 4th down compared to what we've got as Championship winners.
So no significant upgrades needed for next season? The money men at Tannadice will be delighted to hear that.

I used to say that too but Mrs Mathematics argues that it’s because, during the plague, a sneeze would herald that you were on your way out and so folk would have sympathy and bless you.
I read on here why we say "Bless You" so there's every chance she's right!

We've played them, at least, four times a season each most years for the past decade, it's really not going to be gutting at all if we avoid it for a while.
Look on the bright side - you might get them in a cup!

just watched the highlights there and the refs/var will just not give any team a penalty against one of the bigot brothers if the game is in the balance...ours v sevco on wed and yours today just ignored(foul before it my arse)...its fucking pathetic.
It's not even the individual decisions but knowing they'd be given at the other end of the park.

With St Mirren playing Celtic away in the last match we only need to keep the gap as it is as a minimum to be in with a shout against Killie at home. All to play for
I'll be disappointed if we're not all square going into that final game, maybe just a point behind. Better still, with our GD within a goal, maybe 2 of St Mirren's.
Squeaky bum 0-0 at Dens and 2 or 3 zip to Celtic sounds smashing!
Thank You.

Brilliant!
Qualifying to play European football indicates how well a club has done domestically. How many seasons has Dundee qualified for Europe?
We'll stick with the league table for that.

No excuse but tbf ,back when Liverpool were sponsored by crown, players weren't unimaginably wealthy like they are now.
Nevertheless,what they were doing sounds almost fraudulent
Agreed, no point trying to gloss it over.

Roundabouts (circles) here in the Philippines. Rule is clear i.e. same as in the UK so vehicles on them have priority but 75% of drivers have decided to ignore this which means every one is an accident waiting to happen.
ETA - I just found this little gem which perhaps explains the above confusion as it starts off saying one thing and then suggesting the opposite!
That means drivers about to enter the circular junction must yield to those who are currently on it. Of course, that doesn't mean drivers on the roundabout should not give way to those about to merge; they must still let other motorists enter, more so if they are far ahead.
