    You are correct when you say it won't ruin my life. You could probably go even further to ask if I'll even notice the difference.

    My issue is the principle of this. 

    If your vote is so easily swayed by few pounds a week either way I would argue you're pretty devoid of principles!

    I was rather surprised by Moyes's bare-faced punting of himself for the Celtic job....I was under the impression that Celtic already had a manager. 

    Came across as completely disrespectful of Ronny Deila.

    I agree. Poor Ronny looks haunted every time I see him now. He must know the gig is up and yet somehow he has to win a double but frankly it's a mess of his own making and one he's being handsomely paid for.

    As for Moyes, you can make a case for and against him. We do need someone to stand up to the board. After Martin O'Neil left, the powers that be vowed that no manager would hold sway the way he did again. It wasn't unusual for M O'N to bypass Quinn or Lawell and go straight to Desmond to get his way in some matter or other. Things have gone so far the other way it's become ridiculous and the current manager is no more than a glorified coach.....and no a very good one at that!

    After realising Trafalgar Square is probably gonna be a no go I plumped for in and out flights with BA. Fly down early Friday and back lunchtime Saturday. I'm not sure how much they are now but when I booked they were around £100

    I agree with the OP.

     

    It's wrong. 

     

    Pretty certain Real Madrid loaned Fernando Morientes to Monaco years ago and he scored the goals that knocked them out of the Champions League. 

    In a lot of these cases the parent club are still paying a percentage of the players wages. You could end up in a situation where you are paying money to someone who's trying to inflict defeat on you. I can't think of many clubs who'd be happy with that arrangement. In the case of Bangoura Celtic didn't bother with a clause as they mistakenly thought it unlikely they would meet Elfsborg competitively. I don't think it's something they would leave to chance again.

    Of course if Partick Thistle were unhappy with the terms no one's forcing them to take the boy, but I suspect they were happy to get a talented young lad knowing he would miss one game.
