Did you try out the parable of the vineyard workers on her to try and help her understand?

I agree with most of that. Could it be that the women’s team feel empowered to make a stand now after witnessing what happened at Raith?

The only bandwagon I am seeing lately is that of “aye, but wee Nippy didnae say a word when he signed for Clyde” (curiously enough, mainly from Rangers fans - are you bridging the divide here GG?) As a women, becoming aware of the issue for the first time, Sturgeon’s response was understandable. As an FM, probably ill advised.

This. Fairly obvious.

It is fairly obvious why it will not attract the same attention as his Raith move. Had he even went to Morton or Ayr (for example) he may have actually got away with it - although the clubs would have been in chaos as supporters protested. He went to the club with a high profile female sponsor and it galvanised a campaign that spread quickly outside football. An SNP councillor did resign from the board at Clyde when he signed originally but seemingly there was no groundswell of protest. Why would that gain media attention? It is down to the Clyde support really. If they want him out there is plenty publicity and backing waiting for them. The question is, do they actually object?

Semi-weegie rapist laundering ****ebags.

An administrative error will see them appoint Ross Jack. You heard it here first.

I see on the BBC News, their Royal Correspondent Sycophant, Nicholas Witchell, asking the question that is on nobody’s lips “what way back for Prince Andrew? One answer would be - has he considered chapping on Raith’s door?

That will be the female CEO that assured Val McD that Goodwillie would not be signed I assume?

****hole. There was plenty of warning that there would be a fallout, but clearly a ‘burd’s” opinion didn’t matter to a dinosaur like McGlynn. ”aye, awright luv, you just keep putting the money in and leave the fitba tae us”

To be fair, I haven’t seen him object to criticism of Sturgeon on this site - of which there was no shortage during the Omicron measures. It is the use of “wee nippy” he has taken issue with.

That seems a bit excessive. Wee Nippy is clearly misogynistic, but it says a lot more about the people that use it than it does about Sturgeon - in my opinion. It is not hate speech per se, but often it is the mark of an immature cretin when used (just look on Twitter) although that is only my opinion. Others feel differently.

Was he not in contact with the Bairns during the summer, or have I misunderstood something?

The bewildering course of action by the directors is the thing that stands out, but I had (maybe the wrong) impression that McGlynn, apart from the criticism for defending the signing, seems to have avoided criticism for getting the whole sordid affair started in the first place.

Would McGlynn not have been behind the attempt to sign him in the first place?

Yes Keyser, punching down is never right, is it?

I am hoping that this is not a euphemism.

I am glad that you have raised this issue. I am getting sick of going to the football knowing that with the increase in female fans, there has been an increase of eyes upon me, mentally undressing me and viewing me as little more than a sex object. Probably. Thank you brother.

Dunno, he has made is account private.

Gordon Brown has now also condemned the signing. Even the stadium announcer has gone. It is unbelievable that they are doubling down. If in any good has come from it, it is witnessing the apparent unanimity (or almost) in the condemnation of the signing.

The concordat is not concomitant with their recent actions.

Val McDermid has taken a stance. I wonder if we will hear from Ian Rankin (this is surely more offensive than a mascot in a cardboard box) or the Big Clunking Fud?

It would be reasonable to assume that some of his new teammates won’t be overjoyed at the prospect. A baffling decision.

I don’t know what I am more relieved about. The fact that I wasn’t eating when I read your post or that @Boston Red Sox quickly clarified the situation regarding fish.

Shades of Miller and Hansen v USSR for that last goal. He can’t be judged on one game in a clip, but I think Dorrans this season (and others in the past) tell us that previous achievements at a higher level mean nothing.
