Langtonian Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 5 hours ago, ErsatzThistle said: 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. Listen,I know where your coming from but the point I,m making is all students,pensioners or disabled don't lack in disposable income and there others in employment worse or not much better off.Its where you draw the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a substantial loan a lot of the time, there fault if they waste it on bevy. My gf managed to do four years of uni and work all the way through it and saved most of her loan. She didnt pay digs fair enough but thats not that much in reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best you stop talking although I expect you'll keep digging a hole... That was one example, plenty of students work and have enough cash to not need discounts. Plenty pay rent and still afford going out etc, they are by no means skint because they don't have cash, its often because they drink it. And I expect you'll keep being a jobby 5 hours ago, ceudmilefailte said: Can I send my daughter to were ever you live! Erm no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I didn't say they were all skint and need discounts, Kirk, that is your inference. You made a generalisation that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Care to have another go at explaining why you have a downer on any students who are not your daughter?

tartanmartin Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Why the borderline obsession with suggesting various demographics get in for free? It's the SFA we're talking about here so quite simply, that will not happen. I'll say £25 a head at Easter Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyal Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So is it Canada we are playing? This seems a bit rubbish, a "morale boosting" 3-0 win against a bunch of diddies then a 2-0 home defeat in the important match on the Sunday, I give up. Also just like to chip in, if students and oap's are getting discounts then what about us public sector workers, I'll need to speak to my union about this ?

McD is a meccano stadium, I cant think of it being full to be honest, my imagination cant go that far. You lot hate us, most of us dont care. On a purely football basis, your stadium is absolutely shite and soul less. Its everything thats wrong with modern cheap stadiums.

Every single bloody stand that's built now is 'meccano' Dens is a hovel. An absolute hovel. It has nowt to do with hate. Reeves said that only Hamilton was worse than Perth. I threw out three other soulless places. It just so happens that along with soulless, Dens was the only one said that is an absolute shit tip too. Sorry if that hurt your feelings my Tayside buddy.

Seems to be quite a few on here saying your stadium is shite though. And you bring up the team that you are all obsessed about into it, its kinda cute.
