Strasbourg, Lorient and Troyes not Happy....
Watt-Zeefuik replied to Martin_T's topic in The Terrace
This system works passably well in the US baseball system because there's no promotion and relegation. Our local team, the Durham Bulls, have a license with the MLB Tampa Bay Rays, and so basically the entire squad is players trying to get to the big leagues, on rehab from the bigs, trying to restart a career, and so on. It kind of sucks because organizationally wins and losses aren't as important as player development and recovery, but it does mean we get to see outstanding players at fairly cheap ticket prices. If there were promotion and relegation in the system, it would be a catastrophe as the Rays would yank all of the good players up before the deadline and leave the Bulls in danger of dropping, if it mattered. It's a shit enough system as it is, given that a fairly small amount of the country actually has local access to truly competitive professional baseball games (and baseball is so much better in person than it is on TV it's scarcely worth comparing). BK seems to want to replicate this but where the feeder clubs can have the trap door yanked at any moment. - Today

*** Other Scottish football match thread, for anyone who gives a ****
That thing you do replied to tartofmidlothian's topic in The Terrace
Theres a definite message. Dont go near Australia. Montgomery found out at Hibs was rated highly in Australia. Birrighitti was best keeper in A League and single handedly relegated Dundee United last season. Releghitti is still sering out his contract on gardening leave. Expires this summer. -

I would take Theo Bair for a partner to Shankland, or even as a replacement. -
Thankfully we don’t have to choose one or the other. White is nowhere near good enough for us.

You don't build a good team by chasing off your mid-level performers in the hopes that you're going to be able to find substantial upgrades on all of them. You try to bring in players that improve you and hopefully turn your old starters into squad players. Running off players like Devlin, Rowles, and Grant because they don't match your pipe dreams of what Hearts could be is madness.

We would need to sign someone aye but not necessarily a starter. I'd be quite happy staying Kent and Kingsley together at the back and actually I prefer Kingsley to Rowles already. Unless there's someone available of course. -
Exactly what celtic want Depriving the non-OF clubs of money because they know it doesn't take much extra money to give them a game We've proven this many times before 😠

Caveat! It is only free for a week. Thereafter subscription based. $6.49 for a year. I will exhaust the free one then if it is still keeping me ad free, I will probably buy a years sub. I think it was $17.99 for a lifetime sub. May even go that route.

Why not? Before you jump in with a reflexive answer, my question is actually about the political reasons behind your statement. In part, I'm asking what are the political reasons that you "can't keep having" independence referendums. In part, I'm asking about an underlying assumption that referendums would continue to be held until such time as Nationalists got the result they want. But why would you stop then? If an independence referendum was carried by a narrow majority, why wouldn't the "losing" side seek to have another one to overturn the decision. What are the political reasons that they wouldn't? What are the political reasons anyone would deny that to them? I'm not challenging your opinion about any of this. I'm asking deeper questions about who gets to decide when the people are permitted to vote on these things, when that can happen, and who gets excluded from that political decision-making process. Those are pretty fundamental questions in any society, especially one that claims to be a democracy. -
Naismith's been working with Devlin for a long time and I think he'll give him more time, at least until Christmas and I would assume quite possibly the summer after that Remember he said he didn't want too much disruption regarding ins and outs Devlin made a bad decision to pass back in the 2nd half yesterday but not bad otherwise, I thought

And the Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey squad were just bought without any player development plans at all. I was sitting at a bar in Tucson. AZ on Monday and watched them play the Dallas Stars. "Moneyball" at it's extreme. Really doesn't matter who wins as long as you get the $$$ right. Boooooooring.

You mean like Chamberlain Atlee Wilson Heath Callaghan Thatcher Major Blair May Truss Sunak The bit in bold above certainly applies to Scotland as illusrtated recently by England's Brexit vote and longer term by the fact that in only two post second world war general elections have votes in Scotland made any difference whatsoever to the result Other characteristics of colonies are... Extraction of resources without benefit to indigenous population Suppression of language and culture Military occupation All of these have happened in Scotland under the union Why? -
I just installed the free Ad Blocker from The App Store on my iphone. That annoying ad at the bottom seems to be gone now. If it comes back I will let you all know.

Have you got a source for the graph? The visuals are saying something to me, but I'd rather see the numbers behind them. -
Sums it up , midfield and right back are critical recruitment areas

Because, as a lawyer, he very shrewdly set up his contract to make it pretty much financially impossible for the lower league clubs, who have the majority of the votes, to remove him. He tried his scheme with English cricket but failed, so took it to the gullible SPFL. Believe, me. he's not only laughing his way to the bank. he's laughing at all of us for being so gullible.

Would have taken him if he was like 5 years younger. I would hope we could do better now though. -
Did you get it resolved?
