  1. I think regardless of who it may advantage/disadvantage in the title race, the entire procedure and playbook around pitch inspections and pre-emptive action and contingencies needs to be looked at. Most other leagues when a game is called off for pitch conditions, there seems to be a common understanding that the game could not go ahead despite any best efforts. 2 or 3 weekends this season now there's been gripe over the communication of games being called off. While you can't control the conditions, you can control the communication around it, and when this breaks down it makes the league look tinpot when clubs resort to public mudslinging off the back of it towards officials or each other. Take the example of Dundee, if a game is in doubt, there happens in their case to be an equally suitable facility just over the road, so you could build a short notice plan for making that switch that takes into account all stakeholders and requirements to support. In pretty much any industry, management would be expected to have such contingency plans in place for equivalent continuity scenarios.
  2. What are the recommended sites to do this on? Also how do they check and how far back does it go? Never done this but always been in the back of my mind. I have one great grandmother who was Lithuanian (USSR at the time), going much further back likely English will pop up given my surname. Otherwise immediate generations all Scottish
  3. You would think so right. Some information would be nice, even if it's the type you could take with a pinch of salt. They initially said no ability to transfer at all remember. At least your reply is sensible versus the others losing their wig over me asking the same questions as everybody else 🤣
  4. There's another topic on this that folk are asking the same question, I'd say follow that for more of a guide
  5. I'll give you one thing, I didn't know you could take one post from one topic and quote it in another. Not that I plan on doing it cause I'm not in the habit of vindictively picking up people's usernames that I've previously had a falling out with and tying it back to previous conversations on a mainly anonymous football forum. Not very grown up at all in fact. Looking at your initial post your accusation doesn't even tie back to the main point which was some ramble about a rich/poor TA divide, to which if you read pretty much everyone else's responses the general consensus is that it's mostly a load of pish. But I'm done trying to justify myself to you on here. Enjoy your weekend.
  6. So I got the NI ticket thru the app. Giving the ticket to my mate who is not a member as I can't make it. unclear whether non members can get a login. No communication at all from the SFA - as far as I'm aware. It seems you can transfer tickets to people on there. No idea what happens to points from that. Others can't log in to your profile while you are logged in to the app. At least I trust the person I'm giving the ticket to as it's my best mate, so will log out and give him mine.
  7. If it helps anyone out as a potential option, my Mum works in a college and is considering applying for Voluntary Severance. Chances of being accepted for this are lower than other departments as she teaches a viable and in-demand course rather than the series of random unestablished vocations that snuck into further education in recent years. But if accepted, VS could tip the balance on her being able to retire a year earlier than planned. She will be 63 this year and hadn't had the chance to start building up a non state pension pot until 20 or so years ago when she started working full time. Currently she is dragging out long term sick leave, mostly stress related due to the fact public colleges are trying to do so much more with less resources. So she is much keener to check out early than she might have been even a couple of years ago.
  8. If you have a regular place that you've been before with a mix then that's probably the safest shout
  9. Absolutely this, the outlandish comments from the Hibs manager after in the interview after the game doesn't help. But I've long since accepted that football fans especially in Scotland couldn't agree on the colour of shite when it comes to refereeing decisions. The penalty is a clear trip. Anywhere else on the pitch the ref gives a foul and no one bats an eyelid. If anything it's smart for the player to go down instead of trying to stay up despite being unfairly impeded. 2nd yellow - I think we've seen in plenty games for years now that contact with the hand or arm to the face seems to be an automatic yellow. Probably even worse given it was off the ball. Straight red - It's basically the dictionary definition of excessive force/endangering safety that breaks the threshold for a red card these days. The only redeeming factor is that contact is limited, thankfully.
  10. Right enough apologies. He is a particularly cumbersome mouthpiece on Rangers games in particular
  11. I do agree it's an awkward one for a number of reasons. If I use the recent England game as an example I was in MacSorley's on Union Street which was at least 50/50 split if not slightly more English all dressed in Stone Island but there was absolutely no bother at all. Less popular suggestion might be Oswalds, but I imagine that's far more edgy given it's an actual Rangers pub 🤣
  12. Apparently the away top is mint green in person as opposed to white. If you look at the picture you can just about see it
  13. Aye appears to be confirmed
  14. Surely got to be a training top, that's some shocking Frankenstein tartan
