That’s quite mild compared with mine.

I’m not a member of this “forum”.

I’m glad this is so, tbh, having read through this thread, I have absolutely no doubts at all that many of the contributors would bore me to death

Sorry to bore you again but you’re right. Dornan needs to be confronted and rebutted at all times. More power to your elbow but, metaphorically speaking, as you draw back the bowstring just make sure the arrow’s pointing at a real target.

Elgin City? Peterhead?

First 45 minutes we were brilliant and even breathtaking. Seen a lot of negativity but keep putting pieces in the jigsaw and we’re absolutely going in the right direction under SG. 

Agree about the first half. As good a performance as I’ve seen on telly in years. Arfield was like an old fashioned inside forward driving forward. Last ditch defending from Hibs but in fairness the defenders got into the ditch and did their job. More two man blocks, sometimes three of them, in 45 minutes than I’ve seen from Rangers defenders in umpteen seasons

Half time broke the momentum with the goal coming so close to it the team maybe thought the job was done.

Kamara excellent from start to finish. Aberdeen will have a plan to stop him. Yellow card worth the risk.

Hibs’ McGregor and Gray should have been off. Normally they are good journeymen defenders but both were demented last night. 

Brilliant.

Kamara’s a player.

Defoe in the last twenty minutes will be good.

Glad SG reads my posts. (Taking control - driving forward)

i rest my case. 

Sturgeon.

Not even east Ayrshire.

Case overturned on appeal.

This team has had enough success to have confidence in themselves. It’s up to SG to make them see that. They must take control at the start, concentrate for the whole game and drive forward.

An august list but enhanced by Millar and Brand.

Sunday:

Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

Chelsea 3-1 Wolves

Gunners 2-1 United.

I expect that tims align with Hamas rather than Fatah so twinning with Bethlehem will be problematic.

Wolves and many clubs like them will always struggle. The days of the single club star player, Lofthouse, Finney, Wright Moore, are gone forever. How do you compete with the glamour of London, the trophy winning of Manchester and the legend of Liverpool except by paying top money for not quite top players?

I hope Wolves find another way to carry on. Great side to watch at the moment but what if Chelsea want their manager and Neves?

Mention of Nat Lofthouse reminds me that another famous Wanderers    club, Bolton, are in big trouble and might not play at the weekend. An example of an extravagant money source suddenly ending when their benefactor/financier died.

Rangers can’t afford to keep the player Morelos promises to be. Start selling him now.

What a daft statement. Never seen anything like it. Or, have I?

I disagree that Walker is an extraordinary hypocrite. There plenty the same as he.

Greatest full back - left or right- I ever saw.

Laudrup could play on the surface of the moon.

Quite often. Tragicomedy on an epic scale.

Don’t say no, we’ll have another go.

Good match in the Championship tonight:

Leeds 1-2 WBA.

Worth a try. Refusal to publish can always be stored in the ammunition box for later.

As for the SP the contortions of the Committee might be valuable as negative publicity. Also a chance for Conservatives and respectable Labour to stick their heads above the parapet.

If they hadn't spent so much on shares they might have been announcing a legal action for defamation and applying some real pressure.

Agreed but there is another way. If 72 are absolutely certain on the facts, as I’m sure they are, they can write to a reputable newspaper if they can fnd one (Scotsman, Herald of several decades back) drawing the editor’s attention to Dornan’s Parliamentary Group creation and its ostensible purpose     and contrast that with his conduct as set out in the statement. They don’t even have to call him a liar. “Failure to state accurately” or similar lawyer’s weasel phrase would do.

Complain also to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee of the Scottish Parliament.

Yep. Keep at it.

3-0 already.

Five more for us and a despondent celtic thrashed in Gorgie with the returned ayatollah sent to the stand for crowd abuse.

Form over the past three seasons, however, suggests 0-1 at Ibrox and 0-3 at Tynecastle. Please God, let me be wrong.

Well done VB. Pursuing a maggott can never be a wholly bad thing. But they’ve petitioned nobody to get Dornan’s influence removed from something.

Tilting at windmills. That’s for tims. Or Dons, even.

On second thoughts this is actually something tims do quite well. They’re no good at displays and banners but they’re sharp enough at real political stuff. 

Correct. Target Dornan by all means. A worthwhile endeavour. Just do it properly.
