I thought the rule was that the ref only evens things up if it's the "wee" team that benefitted from a dodgy decision. BTW, somebody needs to tell the MFC commentator to put his mic on mute when he sniffs.

It does, yes.

Sounds like we've been in control without making too many clear chances. And struggling a bit with the long grass holding up the ball (sneaky Hearts tactic). Hylton just hit the post there too.

Ilic makes the breakthrough after linesman changes his mind about an offside. 1 - 0.

Sounds like Dumbarton have kept the grass long to try and hamper our silky football.

Seems like a reasonable rotation.

Never good when the DTs return - early or late.

Aye, I think they have just put him on first team wages. No extension.

A lot will depend on whether Dumbarton decide to park the bus tonight, or decide they can go for it in a game where the result is meaningless to them.

The amount of money EPL teams spent on Andy Carroll - a player they all knew was constantly crocked - suggests otherwise.

F1 itself, however, promotes the glamour of cars. And car emissions are destroying the planet's climate.

If you're referring to our League Cup group, I agree.

Noticed him in the list of free agents earler in the week. Not a bad punt for County.

Agree with the Cash Convertors point. Also, for me, companies like Facebook are doing far more damage to society than just about any other business I can think of.

Probably true. Athough much less of a gamble for an EPL team drinking from the money hose, than for team a like Celtic. (Of course, Celtic is still by far the most likely destination at the end of it all).

That's the key for me. Whether we break into the top 6 or not, I think we are likely to have more entertainment at Fir Park this time around. And outside of winning a trophy, that's why we turn up every week.

BTW, I don't disagree with the notion that some gambling, and alcohol and cigarette (and Cash Converter) companies push their products to the less well-off. Where I take isssue is when people think that banning these companies is the solution. It's certainly a great campaign slogan and an easy bandwagon for government and activists to jump on. What it fails to address is the actual poverty and deprivation of the communities that are being targeted. That is a more important problem to address, and will take much more effort to solve. And governments (especially ones of the current shade of blue) aren't too interested in solving hard problems; especially when they can stay in power without those votes.

Would it be hypocritical if we banned sponsorship from a gambling firm, but continued to promote the 'Well Lottery? This is where banning things gets tricky.

There has been a lot of damage done to civil liberites over the years with the "won't anyone think of the children" I'm all for informed discussion and debate, and have no problem if the club decides they don't want to accept sponsorship from a particular type of product - but let's steer clear of banning things and treat each opportunity on a case by case basis or we'll end up banning breakfast rolls at the Business Breakfasts because they aren't healthy.

The category concept is supposed to represent how much it costs to train a player for a club at that level, rather than some kind of transfer fee. So average attendances doesn't really play into that. Leagues get to set their own team's category, but there generally isn't an advantage to setting it artificially low as when a player moves to higher category club the compensation calculation is based on the average training costs of the two categories. So if you categorize your club too low, you'll reduce that average every time a player moves from your club to a better one. Where it starts getting complicated is that MLS teams weren't part of the solidarity payment scheme, so the system and the categories are still a new concept. They only signed up recently when their young academy talent started moving to other countries for free. They still don't, however, pay any compensation for moves that take place within the MLS, so the penalty for ranking a team lower is less severe than other leagues.

Regardless of any other arguments, Turnbull is the exception to many rules who shouldn't really be used as an example of anything other than being born with a gift that can't be taught.

Hearts, Hibs and Accies haven't been covering themsevels in glory either. Far too early in the season to be writing any team off, but it looks like we'll have some entertainment at Fir Park this season. We could run a book on the biggest start Seedorf can give a defender and still beat him.

We won't get relegated or be in the play-offs.

Capacity is 2,020. I doubt we'll take more there than we did to QotS.

That's because you're a fan. The manager has to balance winning the game, winning the group and getting the players lacking full fitness ready for the league campaign.
