Have never met the man, but to be honest, in any company, the chairman and the board are rarely the best people to be letting near the paying punters, especially ones with gripes. They're usually successful business folks who Haven't Got To Where They Are Today by worrying too much about touchy-feely customer service skills.

Ya beezer.

Does that apply to loans? Thought the loaning club could still recall anytime they liked. (Anyways, Broony said "David Moyes is probably going to have to recall Lukas Jutkiewicz at the end of the season", so nothing to worry about either way...)

Tough call, though. Do you pick the team that you think is going to win you the cup, or the team you think the fans might like best?

Knowing the type of people they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd just put their own contract formalities on the back burner until the (much more important right now) players' contract negotiations were completed.

Main cost would be buying the footage rights from the SPL, I'd imagine...

It's a lot worse here in Ireland. For every one person who goes to a League of Ireland game, there must be at least ten flying or ferrying their way over to Parkhead, Old Trafford or The Emirates every weekend. The amount of money that could be going into the Irish game that's going elsewhere is unbelievable.

Dunno, but as I mentioned in the Hearts thread, it does equal the longest unbeaten run in the SPL outside the Old Firm. (Previously held by Hibs--earlier this season in fact--and Hearts).

Wish they'd make their minds up... last year there were loads of stories about how well the cinemas were doing (and always do) in hard times because it's a relatively cheap night out of escapism. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-bus...om-recession.do http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/fi...-recession.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1...uster-year.html etc...

Neither, you're essentially paying the same price for the same thing: to be allowed to sit on a plastic seat and watch 90 minutes of football, which some weeks will be great and some weeks will be crap. (And there are plenty of crap games in the EPL too, if Match of the Day is anything to go by.)

Yep, have to say looks like they got it right this time.

Full time. What were we worried about?

Coke on for Duke.

Sutton misses a sitter! Still goals in this one, I feel...

3-1, Templeton

3-0 now, O'Brien!

Half time.

Stepping up the pace again after a quiet spell...

Shout for a pen there, not given...

Oooft, thought that was three.

2-0 Sutton! We're on fire!

Foul throw by Hately because there's two sidelines visible

Right up the park from kick off, win a corner, take it short, plant it on Reynolds' head. Simples!

Just to completely put the kibosh on it, avoiding defeat would apparently see us equal the longest SPL unbeaten run by a non-OF club: Clicky
