Interesting signing. Probably means the end for Baka as this signing would be a new project for MR to work on. With Godden and Walker to come back into the fold, our options upfront won't be too bad for where we're at in the league.

Me too. We have a year in our favour if he does turn it around. However unlikely this is.

It’s difficult to imagine a more dysfunctional political entity than the Labour Party. Then there’s Scottish Labour.

The main issue in Scotland is that Tories are gobbling up the Unionist vote. Scottish Labour still hasn’t got a strong position on independence. Likewise, in the rest of the UK, when it came to Brexit, Labour dithered and tried to appease both Leave and Remain. In 2019 it haemorrhaged votes to...

Two things in UK politics need to happen for Labour to have a realistic shot at power: a Lib Dem revival and a Labour comeback in Scotland. Labour hasn’t won the popular vote in England since 2001, iirc. The Lib Dems being a force helps Labour. They traditionally won a significant section of...

I’m definitely going to make the pilgrimage to this sacred site!

I thought we played well last night, and a big 3 pts for us. If we can follow it up with another 3 against Birmingham, I think it’ll set us up with a very good chance of staying up. The diamond suited us well and O’Hare was brilliant. Really happy he got one over some of the growing discontent...

Agreed. My preconception so far is that EU hasn’t learned the lessons it has needed to from Brexit. In fact, the ‘pooling our sovereignty’ quote after the EU-UK deal was made suggested the opposite. This episode, despite the good cause for grievances with the vaccine manufacturers...

I’m aware of what’s happening, but don’t really know why people are buying those stocks... practical joke or not!

Giles was a good WB option, but I don’t think he’s better than McCallum, certainly not defensively. With 5 other loanees, it’s a move that make sense for everyone.

Pretty sure he's out of contract and it's pretty clear Robins doesn't really have in his plans.

Is he going to start from Day 1? Probably not. So he is very much a development player - hence his loan back to Ross County.

I can’t see Mason being the squad for 21/22...

I hope so! For now, I want something passive that I don’t need to manage or check every day. I’ve gone for that standard S&P 500, but will look to invest a bit in the FTSE 100 and emerging markets down the line.

Looks like a decent development signing, I imagine we’ll sign an older LWB in the summer if we cannot keep McCallum still.

As a new, and young investor, I’ve just stuck my money into index funds and I add to it every month. I wish I started earlier tbh.

Just out of curiosity, how do you envision we’d maintain ‘fairly frictionless trade’ with the EU?

Don’t quote me on “only 43%” because I never said that. Again, to reiterate the point that we do most of our trade outside the EU. Business will learn what things they need to do to trade with the EU - the deal doesn’t stop trade. No, I work in logistics and can read trade statistics. If...

7 of our top 15 trading partners are outside the EU and the EU makes up 43% of our exports. That’s dropped about 17% from 1999. That’s without accounting for EU enlargement in the same period. By your logic, that number couldn’t possibly go down. I didn’t vote for Brexit. But, in the 21st...

It’s good we have a neutral on this forum because when people are emotionally invested, as we all are on here (with the exception of yourself), we panic when we lose.
