    Easy see I'm bored, in other news,.

    Our local head honcho curry restaurant manager has acted after publicly questioning the quality of meals and the service. Despite being fed, it seems too many customers felt the curries were bland and at times were leaving due to s hitting themselves.
    I hear that the head honcho has brought in friends and family to improve the service, and to increase speed, he has replaced all pens and paper with ipads.
    Honcho is trying to keep some elements of tradition, most notably the insistance of an onsite butcher, worrying reports though that the butcher would prefer to work in a tiny castle.
    After an intensive search he has also acquired a new less noisy chef, which remarkably was on his doorstep the whole time, honcho has also promised to globally source better ingredients and meals.
    To date the Honcho fella has not looked at changing the suppliers, in fact he has secured a 2 year deal with Pawletts to provide the same ingredients.
    Having initially looked in the store cupboard, the new head chef felt he needed extra spice to improve the signature curry and rice dish, however in a strange twist, it seems he has found some that haven't been used yet and wants to try them for his new dish called rice and curry.
    Some loyal customers are saying they'll still go as the meals are less shyte than those served at the Midden and the Pasta Place. There was talk of competition from the recently reopened Yankee Noodle Dandy, however their delivery man is getting fatter and slower and further research showed the person in charge of feeding is still struggling to put things on a plate. Their trading times are also questionable as due to a curfew their engine room closes at 7pm
    After removing fruit from the menu, Honcho is considering introducing sweet desserts, backed up by the fact that a long standing takeaway customer called Ads, who has never cooked and never goes due to shifts, has sponsored a table during his A/L to invite folk for the inaugural humble pie night although this particular sponsor's make a wish, may see some folk struggle to eat and happily clap at the same time. Reports from sources close to Honcho (#SB71) suggest he is also considering Ads to be in charge of locking up as he likes to get the last word. Still at least we know there will be no depressed or drunk customers leaving the joint..

    Time will tell if customers will end up with an even bigger dose of the s hits, and indeed if this humble pie thingy ever takes off.

    So either people are being over dramatic and got bogged down in this negative vibe related to the TA hate
    Personally i have no issue with TA, i agree with TTT in another thread he has hit targets so far. He has earned the right to make more changes.

    I also have no issue with replacing MM. Last season was my worst season ever watching us. Worse than anything any other manager has put on the park, It was awful.

    My reason for worry is that i beleive we were the worst footballing team in the league last year for large parts of it. The games we were winning or drawing i remember either thinking thank f for benji or thank f their attacking players had a mare. Apart from Aberdeen cup game i can barely remember us walking off the pitch and me thinking we deserved anything from the matches. It felt like robbery most weeks we didn’t lose

    Imho to stay up we either need TC to improve the performances of the squad we have or sign a number of better players or we hope we run the same luck in a lot of matches like last season. The latter 2 look unlikely so im pinning hopes on a rookie manager hence the fear.

    Why people think we don't have the ability to finish above a Livi, Motherwell, County, Dundee or St Mirren i do not know, I must be missing something when I watch them

    Freeman, Mochrie and Hoti have looked promising so far at least, albeit against lesser opposition. I'm hopeful that they might just add a little more to our options once they have a few more games under their belts. I still expect us to make a couple of additions, although admittedly it's very slow on that front, which doesn't really help with the air of pessimism that's lingering.

    I am wondering what they teams you mentioned are thinking about united, honestly i can't see one single team running scared of us, cause if the are they should not be.

    Who said anything about running scared? It will be a mutual feeling of we can beat them or we can finish above them

    Don't think anyone will be running scared of anyone else apart from the odd exception (some Utd fans apart)

    I forgot to mention Logan Chalmers who's also going to be like a new signing. I know people don't like that suggestion but it's still effectively true as he's barely played any 1st team football up to this season, obviously partly down to injury. I do think he could be very good for us though and hopefully will continue to improve.

    Takes a look back at last seasons table and wonders!

    Livi, County and Dundee are total unknowns and i have to ask how much you have actually watched them all recently?
