I believe Chalmers started out as a LB at Parkhead, so the p5osi4tion isn't new to him.

You can bet your house that Jim Baxter was the leader of the "Let’s take the pith" group.....

The ONLY Scottish footballer to win the European Footballer of the Year. A brilliant striker, scorer of so many goals at a time when protection from referees was practically non-existent, Law looked after himself on the pitch, often getting his retaliation in first. 😀 It`s incredible to think that he wasn`t selected to play for Scotland for about 4 years because there was a belief that players who played in England didn`t give 100% for the national team - not an accusation that could be levelled at Denis. He tried to strangle Celtic`s goalkeeper, Frank Haffey, for singing in the bath after that humiliating 9-3 defeat at Wembley in 1963. Some of the selectors also believed that Law and Jim Baxter couldn`t play in the same team. 🙄 I was at John Lunn`s testimonial and I remember Law scoring from the spot. Was he the player who played 45 mins for each side? R.I.P. Denis. When will we see your like again?

Welcome to the Pars, Michael and Kevin. I hope you turn out to be as successful as the two Jimmys, even without their financial backing.

Shut it, ya bunch o' raspers! 😠 🤪

Even without Kane and Ngwenya, we should be too strong for Stenny, but football matches are notoriously unpredictable. I think we'll probably edge it, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's by more than the odd goal.

What's that saying about pots and kettles, Mr Meldrew? 😁

Cheers, Piracy. A lot of column inches used there to say very little. No wonder newspaper sales are plummeting. 🙄

There`s an article in the Courier, in which Otoo has spoken about Tidser but I`m not a subscriber as I don`t want to read stuff about the Dundee clubs, St Johnstone and especially the wee team. 😀 Can anyone post the gist of what Otoo said? Cheers.

Sorry, guys. Been hacked. Fortunately, the scammers attempt to get money out of my contacts is laughable, but my brother Joe, who got 5 Highers at school, was going to go with it until his wife advised him it was a scam. 😃 Who should I pm to submit a new email account? Thanks. This is the only place I ever used the talktalk account, so it narrows down who the scammer might be. Ma money's on DD.... 😁

Not the hardest question you've ever faced, Al, given there are no figures prior to 2012 as Therangers didn't exist then. 😁 These losses are only sustainable as long as wealthy donors are prepared to throw more money at the club, but you have to think (hope) that eventually they'll come to their senses and think, "Feck this for a laugh!" The losses they incurred in the lower leagues was due to them paying Premiership wages throughout that time. I remember Kevin Kyle saying he was phoned by Ally McCoist and asked if he'd like to discuss playing for Therangers. At the meeting, he said he asked for double the salary he would have been delighted with and without hesitation, McCoist told him, "You've got it!" It's not difficult to imagine that they've continued with this arrogant, Money is no Problem, philosophy throughout their brief existence. WATP, so we have to be seen to be paying our players top dollar......

Shamelessly stolen from dotnut. A Scottish Premiership club has posted the following losses - allegedly; Year on Year losses- 2012-13 - £14m 2013-14 - £8.1m 2014-15 - £7.5m 2015-16 - £3.3m 2016-17 - £6.7m 2017-18 - £14.3m 2018-19 - £11.3m 2019-20 - £15.9m 2020-21 - £23.5m 2021-22 - £0.9m 2022-23 - £4.14m 2023-24 - £17.17m That's approximately £10m a year since 2012. How long can they keep afloat?

Did you also mention ze war? 🤔

I've no idea how old or efficient it is, but I was told that it can cope with temps down to -4°C. Below that it's a lottery. One thing is certain - we can't afford to rip it out and replace it with the latest all singing/ eall dancing version. Some fans think the new investors will be splashing significant sums of money around. I'd love to think they will but I very much doubt it.

I get where you're coming from but the club probably believe that the drop in income due to playing midweek instead of Saturday is even greater than the cost of the oil burned. Eta. The club has now been hit with a double whammy. The USH bill plus the loss at the turnstiles.
