  1. Resigned as a director about a year later, who knows what he's up to now
  2. He's just a couple of days behind John Eustace in terms of fitness so should be back some time soon
  3. Is that a legitimate thing, that you can't make an injury any worse by continuing to use the leg and run about if it's an impact injury?
  4. I'm sure they can find some reason to fine us to raise the cash
  5. Is that the boy that the police blamed his wee brother for a year until they discovered it was, surprisingly, the local paedo that killed him?
  6. Celtic fans used to tell this story with pride about how he booted the paedo out, they only denied it when it was later pointed out that he should have went to the police also
  7. The Nes is an 8-bit. Surprised it wasn't the SNES they rereleased
  8. No we wouldn't. We get threads like this when we play garbage and get out of jail at the last minute.
  9. In before "You cannae complain, we won"
  10. Since when have Red Bull been interested in sponsoring anyone? Every team they're involved in is through ownership and investment, not sponsorship and every team is called Red Bull something or something Red Bull, except for leipzig, only because German football wouldn't allow it. It's not jsut football either, they're involved in loads of sports and it's all the same format, they're not changing that for Rangers, if they got involved we'd be Red Bull Rangers without a doubt. The whole thing is incredibly unlikely but it's probably slightly more likely than them throwing money at us to put Red Bull on our shirts.
  11. He's an oddball that likes the artificial authority he gets for 90 minutes. He watched Garner get fouled and then had his eyes on the ball to see if Garner gets the advantage which he does but is immediately brought down and grabs the ball, free kick against Garner, then has a wee shout at him that he's in charge. Surely most refs would have went with their apparent original decision and gave the foul against Dundee
  12. There's a similar rule with regards to disabilities for public sector jobs that if you are disabled and meet the minimum criteria you are guaranteed an interview. One public sector employer I worked for had a simple formula for how many people they would interview based on the number of jobs available that in theory would mean if enough disabled people applied no-one else would be interviewed even if on paper there were plenty of more qualified candidates. The other negative of this in terms of the football manager situation is that in management they often choose the candidate and approach them so in all likelihood 3 candidates will be shortlisted for interview and then clubs would invite a token minority for interview with no intention of considering them at all because they already have their shortlist of 3 they actually want
  13. Fixed terms have the same eligibility timescale as any other employee, but as you said they can always raise an action for breach of contract and it's going to explore very similar ground
  14. Your edit is correct and it would be a similar argument, but he could not, as a matter of fact raise an action for unfair dismissal (accepting none of the exemptions apply, which they clearly don't)
  15. His game seems to be running about elbowing or clattering into the back of folk but it never seems to draw a foul
  16. It might backfire, it might be a mistake but we all know he is far better getting forward than playing defensively so he probably offers as much if not more in this role, might have been nice to try it out before this game
  17. I remember him coming with a fantastic scoring record and doing well here but not quite as well as his previous record. However, I also remember him scoring loads of goals that were incorrectly ruled offside as he had a good burst of pace that seemed to trick linesmen into thinking he was offside.
  18. Man United have previous for this sort of nonsense. I recall a season ticket holder being banned from attending a big game because they hadn't attended the previous home game, bought the ticket but just didn't show so their ticket was deactivated for the next game (Arsenal or Man City, something like that)
  19. I remember reading about that before and him denying he had anything to do with it but there were links to some Celtic forum where he was on promoting it in the first person until it failed to deliver then "nothing to do with me"
  20. Mine is in decent condition still but I know from pals that they charge a fiver for a new one, although when they've lsot them they've waived the charge (Don't know if it depends how long it's been) I'd expect more likely to charge if the card is still working and you just want a nice new one
  21. I've maybe misinterpreted but I'm sure I've heard folk suggesting they have got a ticket but that they weren't signed up to the CCCS from the start of the season. If that is the case then it is a bit odd that others who have been haven't got a ticket and it suggests the way they said they'd do it is not how it's actually been done. I've had my ST since division 3 and been on the CCCS the last couple of years but didn't sign up from the start this year (did sign up later though) for various reasons, missed one game and attended on a pals CCCS ticket for another so I certainly wasn't expecting to be guaranteed a ticket but I thought I had an outside chance of being included in a ballot and it does surprise me to hear that people signed up from the start haven't got tickets as I'd have thought that category would have been outnumbered by tickets available and the ballot cut off might have been people who missed one, maybe 2 games (hence my thoughts on having a slight chance) Not sure exactly where I stand though, I can see both arguments, there has to be a point where the playing field is levelled for newer season ticket holders but I can understand annoyance for someone following for years and not getting a ticket whilst someone getting a first ST this year and signing up might get an OF ticket on the back of attending a handful of games ever
  22. Surprised me aswell but I guess it's one way of ensuring everyone believes it was above board
