As the Doctors realised it was early on she was straight into chemo/radiotherapy…it’s been a effing horrible 8/9 months, especially as I stayed working, looked after house and four kids….but honestly to see her now you wouldn’t even know she had been through both this at all. Added to the fact the JT’s are back to where we should be just explains why I’m constantly happy at the moment! Post of the Year IMHO.

If we are serious about challenging in the top 3 then we should have some players on bigger contracts….especially if they are performing like Souter does. I get it’s risky with him due to injuries but we should be doing it with all our best players that have resale value. Maybe we are for all I know lol. I don't know if we could afford to spend 3.5% of our turnover on one (injury prone) player's contract. A big risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I very much reckon it's part of the recipe/business model. There will be a minimum space every day that must be covered relating to Celtic and to Rangers, if it's a slow news day they will need to find an angle - unfortunately for us that often involves this kind of stuff, it is after all an easy way to fill a page.

Worse than that he's been incoherent for years, even while he was manager of Scotland, he only got that job because of his connections with the Scottish Football Establishment (SFE), prominent among whom is The Rangers Football club (formerly known as Sevco, formerly known as Rangers Football club). it would be interesting to know what the fee is for such an 'interview'.
