    I presume we are speaking about the wooden pair.

    If not the nicest pair of specs I've seen then definitely in the top ten, and that's going back to January 1975
    Nah, those Varifocals I got from you in October. Sakuru frames. Dogs bawz

    How did he think that was going to affect his playing budget?
    Tansey, Gleeson, Forrester the last 3 midfield signings, we can't afford such mistakes. A big part why we don't score is due to a non existent midfield. I wouldn't give the current charlatan tuppence for recruitment. Add Wilson, Cosgrove and May. We can defend and have nothing to offer bar GMS as an attacking outlet. Watch Wednesday he'll play Wilson / May even though they were not deemed good enough for the biggest game of the season. The youngsters who were thrown in yesterday will drop down the pecking order. A training establishment, the **** couldn't train white mice.

    Sorry wrong spy

    Aye, I remember.
    Talked you into varifocals.

    When you go for the best you get the best results.


    Seriously though, you can get away with any old s'hite when it comes to single vision lenses but varifocals are a different proposition altogether.

    They're brilliant. Glad I went for them

    Maybe he's ben given assurances by the board that the playing budget won't be affected.

    Maybe he's not really bothered , because he thinks he won't be here by the time it becomes an issue.

    I don't know.

    Nor do you

    Perhaps he’s given the board assurances about players he’s buying and the board have seen the majority of them are garbage

    Nobody is expecting 100% success rate when it comes to signing players.

    But at a club like ours we need a better rate than what we are getting.

    I'd be much much happier if we never had to buy players at all, or if when we did it was one we really needed.

    The constant acquisition of bog standard players, loan or otherwise, does nothing to improve us as a club.

    A lot when they could have been playing at a higher level. Bonuses and signing on fees is how it was done I'm sure

    Very true

    My first ever job was at Rollstud as it was the wrong time of years to get an apprenticeship. Was there for 6 month

    Excellent grounding into the working world

    Of our preferred first 11, how many are garbage?

    Lewis?
    Logan?
    Devlin?
    McKenna, (not bought but promoted from youth)
    Lowe (Loanee)
    Shinnie?
    Ferguson?
    GMS?
    McGinn? (Dodgy as I don;t think he has done enough since returning)
    May? (I'll give you the gamble has not worked out, but most on here were excited to be linked with him)
    Wilson? (Hugely rated but not shown enough effort)
