ErsatzThistle

Anyone else got neighbours with cars whose alarms keep going off all the bloody time ? At the top of my street there is this cünt whose car alarm keeps going off at night three or four times a week. The thing rings out for about twenty minutes before it goes off. It's the same car everytime. And the pwick that owns it is never in or must be taking some seriously powerful sleeping pills. Evidently he's not bothered about getting the alarm seen too anyway. Grrrrr

Labour MP John Woodcock (Ultra-Blairite, warmonger with regard to Syria, BAE Systems "man in parliament" and anti-SNP fanatic) demanded that there should be an inquiry into whoever leaked the information regarding the misfire to the Sunday Times. Evidently wants an example made of someone

Fücking hell.

Villa will not get £12,000,000 for McCormack. They won't even get half that. Can't see any second tier manager spending £9,000,000 on a Boro bench warmer either.

Sky reporting that Sheffield Wednesday want Jordan Rhodes now. However Boro supposedly want £9,000,000 or thereabouts for him which I can't see any club paying for Rhodes.

Aye - "Vote Conservative and Stop Communism".

Did Hearts get anything for him or was it a free transfer ?

Anyone got any idea what his salary is ?

Bamford's a good player and more of an attacking midfielder than a striker. He's also been on loan there previously and done well. He's a good signing for Boro. There has been some suggestion that Rhodes was bought by the Boro chairman and not the manager.

Seems half asleep a lot of the time. Dunno if it's true or not but I did once hear it said anecdotally that Sarwar Jnr never really wanted to go into politics and that his old man pushed him into it.

Aitor Karanka confirms two bids for Jordan Rhodes have been turned down

Fixed that for ye.

Found that too. Never saw any haggis bashing, tartanized version of the Yes campaign that the previous poster was alluding too. Never saw any Yes campaigners threatening teenage girls, smashing shop windows or making fascist salutes. The No crowd however........ Btw is Eric Joyce of all people trying to tell us something about himself ?

Aye, especially when Farron was all over the TV earlier this morning espousing a pro-EU message and the Lib Dems supposedly being the party for Remain voters. Rennie is a snake.

What a shower of useless, lying kunts those Liberals are.

To be fair, look where Niall McGinn was at the time he signed for you lot in 2012. He'd just had an unspectacular loan at Brentford in England's League One and was unwanted and out of his depth at Celtic. He's now scored over fifty league goals for the Dons. Get Kennedy fully fit, playing regularly and with confidence, you never know how he could turn out.

Lewis MacDonald always has had a reputation as being a lout and getting personal against SNP members.

I love how he seemingly knows everyone in the North East intimately and by great coincidence they all hate the SNP .

Ryan Gauld linked with a loan to G.D. Chaves. Middlesbrough are favourites to sign Snoddy.

No, I'm the only one of my group of friends who didn't go to university (totally my own fault) but I saw how how they struggled to earn their degrees and keep a job to support themselves at the same time. They certainly deserved what discounts and freebies they could get from being a student. Plenty of my grandparents friends amongst the OAP community of Barrhead find it hard to keep going on the basic state pension, they use their concessions and rightly so. Still maintain, under 18s, students, unemployed and pensioners should get in free for friendlies matches.

I'd be open to a much greater flexibility with regards to who qualifies for free tickets. The friendly crowds are low enough, we need to get more bodies through the gates to cheer the team on. And if they buy tea, pie and a match program then the SFA at least gets a little money back. Several folk I went to school with struggled to balance their university studies and a minimum wage job, not having rich parents to support them for three or four years. They deserved what concessions they got. Do you believe all students are all lazy, stoned kunts stealing your tax money ?

And that goes for every student, pensioner and disabled person in Scotland does it ? I believe they should all get in free to friendly games.

Paul McKay hasn't been on loan anywhere since moving to Leeds. His brother Jack is on loan at Airdrie just now. Iacovitti is back playing for Forest's youth teams, he's still only 19. Cameron looked a total Garry Kenneth Mk. II in the footage I've seen of him playing for our youth teams.

Under 18s, students, pensioners, unemployed and the disabled should get in free to all friendly matches. I wonder whether it would be worthwhile even experimenting with a "pay what you can" policy that some clubs try for one or two games during the season.
