  1. I don't know why, but this wee snippet tickles me. The Saintee at the front grabbing their Asda carrier bag and getting the f**k out of there! 😂
  2. I goto the games with my 6 year old daughter, so there's always a bit of trepidation going into games against the arse cheeks. I spotted the odd lost guy with a printed ticket in the east stand, but at no point did it feel unsafe/intimidating. I'm convinced that reducing them to one stand has made a huge difference on the park. Anyone have any stats to back that up? Result aside, it's great to see us going toe to toe with that mob. Definately felt like we dropped 3 points last night, but I love watching that every week!
  3. Get your/her emails checked. A link should have been sent to her via email from [email protected]. I received mines on Feb 14 (old rangers admin day funnily enough!). Even though you can't buy from the link without enterng the season ticket ref as a promo code, the club must be trying to keep the link hidden from prying eyes for a reason (maybe to avoid huns brute forcing season ticket refs). For that reason, I'm not going to share the link.
  4. medical groups and charities including BMA Scotland, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and the Royal College of General Practitioners in Scotland are urging the Scottish parliament to increase the MUP to at least 65p a unit. Which one of those organisations have an axe to grind? Do you have any more effective ways of dealing with it? Have you ever seen a MUP detractor suggest an alternative approach to tackling it? I haven't. Until a more effective way becomes apparent we should probably stick to trying the "inconclusive" thing which has even the detractors say has had "limited success". It's like treatments for major disease. They don't work all the time every time. Often they even have horrific adverse effects. But you persevere with them until something better becomes apparent. You trial new things. You review the evidence and tweak it. The alternative is doing nothing. The arguments against MUP are almost exclusively tabloid pish.
  5. It's not disproportionate because inflation. Given that inflation is and has been sky high for what feels like forever, MUP has basically become redundant. It either needs scrapped (guess what prices will still increase) or the MUP needs increasing in line with inflation. Anything I've seen that hasn't come from a tabloid points to the potential for it to be having a positive affect, so I think it's worth sticking with. Got a source for that? Looks like a classic strawman argument to me. https://www.bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p1477.full To me, it looks like a government who's listening to the experts and implementing an unpopular, but necessary policy.
  6. Advice on actual costs - No idea. If DIYing it, costs are negligible. What's involved? - it all depends on the type of the project you are looking to build and devices that you need to support. If it's a "customer facing" thing, e.g. KillieFC.com/Trust thing, you are probably going to need to support both Apple and Android devices, so diving straight into Android Studio/whatever will be futile. You need to consider how much of the native features of the device you actually require. e.g. Is it really just a web site you are trying to turn into an "app"? If you are paying someone, the costs of various solutions are probably ranked in this order... 1) A website/Web app. - As cheap as it gets. 2) A PWA (which basically allows your website to enable app like features on a website e.g. "Install"/Notifications/Background tasks (not 100% sure on Apples level of support for this, but they are catching up eventually). - Cost not too dissimilar as a Web site. Effectively the same as above but with a few extra bits. 3) An iOS and Android wrapper app, Often these can be build for you by putting your web site site through some sausage machines. Think of it like a web browser with no address bar and one home page (your web site). You can extend this wrapper app to reach out to native device features if you really need to at a later date (working towards 4)). 4) A full blown iOS and Android app, looking and acting like other native apps. Almost certainly the most expensive route. If the thing you are trying to do is Killie Trust / KillieFC.com related, I suspect the cost and complexity of 4) will be prohibitive. By writing as much of your "app" as possible in Web technologies, you remove alot of the complexity of supporting different devices / reduce initial costs. I am by no means an expert, but work in the Software industry and have recent experience of doing 3) (but on Android only). If it's a trust / killiefc.com / charity project I'd be happy to help / contribute in any way I can.
  7. I know I'll be wrong on this, but I find it surprising that in this day and age a sign saying "Match Days 11am - 5pm" could ever be enforcable. If I'm not a football fan, how the f**k am I expected to know when match days are? If I'm not from the area, I might not even know which stadium/club it's referring to. The signage to me looks incomplete. Feels to me like they should be clearer on what a matchday consists of. e.g. fold out signage on entry to the controlled zones saying "Match day - today" like you see near Hampden. Obviously I'd never be risking it but be interested to see if anyone has any luck appealing the the fines.
  8. Anecdotal, I know but I'm convinced MUP helped me kick my habit of having a beer or two every night. "doubling it" is a bit simplistic, but the long periods of sky high inflation will reduce the effectiveness of the MUP, to the point where it's having no effect on alcohol prices and therefore consumption. Even with the 50p MUP, in Tesco it costs £3.02 for a litre of San Miguel. In the same shop, they'll charge you £3.50 per litre of Diet Coke. As far as the consumer is concerned, the MUP pricing needs to keep pace with inflation or it's effectiveness as a deterent just reduces year on year. For example, that bottle of San Miguel (3.3 units) could legally be sold for £1.65. It's not though, because inflation has over taken the MUP.
  9. Yass! Buzzing to listen to this later. Only just managed to listen to Episode 6 yesterday. The reading out of the comments from the Jambo's was brilliant. Top work!
  10. Because he was offering his opinion on Kilmarnock, the job that McInnes is doing and the situation he inherited? Where in this does he suggest he turned us down? We often (rightly) criticise the media for having absoluely no clue about anything underneath the surface of the diddy clubs. Here, Kevin Thomson is clearly trying to offer what he thinks is some useful insight into the situation that DM has inherited. He says he gained this insight when he was doing his due diligence on the Kilmarnock job. There's just nothing controversial/insulting/wrong with what he said.
  11. He did not say or allude to having "turned us down". He just confirmed that he was considering/being considered for the job and as part of his due diligence identified a number of players on two year deals. There was nothing wrong with his comments and nothing to "believe".
  12. Thinking twice about taking her. I want her to feel safe, I want her to want to come back. How f**king embarrassing of me eh!?
  13. I have a terrible feeling about this now. Have heard from a few orcs in the area that have managed to secure tickets for the home end today. On Thursday, when I queued for tickets for tynecastle there were lots of people being sold tickets for today by providing a name only. I'm beginning to fear that a few of the local orcs may have used my name to secure tickets. Taking my 5y/o daughter along today, but not going to lie, thinking twice right now. I fear this is going to be a s**tshow.
  14. Indeed. I'd go so far as to say that they must have prices displayed in a shop. It puts me off ever buying anything when prices aren't on display. I make an exception for Killie and enquire/buy anyway. If it were other business, I'd be put off and wouldn't bother and be querying with trading standards. Maybe there's some exemption for the club shop, but I'm doubtful. https://www.gov.uk/product-labelling-the-law
  15. My email contains an extra seat which I do not, and never have owned a ST for.
  16. So an independent Scotland with NATO membership ticks your "defense" box. I'm skeptical on the need for Scotland to work with anyone on the environment. We have more renewables than we could ever need. Get our own house in order and make full use them without any Westminster politician (elected or otherwise) blocking our progress. If we really do need to (or want to) work with others on the environment, then I'd suggest EU membership might be what you are after - export our expertise and energy direct to the EU. Lets choose what unions/clubs we want to be a part of, rather than isolating ourselves from the rest of the world attached to this sinking ship.
  17. Octopus will reduce your DD by £67 from October through to March AND the money will come off your bill. e.g. If you are supposed pay £200 a month, your new DD will be £133 AND an additional £67 will be credited to your account. So your balance will continue to trend as though you had paid £200.
  18. Listened to this in the car and thought it was great! Loved the features and the promotion of the trust! Being really really picky, the only criticism I would have is that the audio was a lot quieter than other podcasts I listen to, so I had to crank the volume right up to hear it. Which is fine, but then my sat nav ends up screaming it's instructions at me! From what I can tell, there's some kind of "Loudness (LUFS)" standards that podcasts adhere to generally follow, which I guess you aren't?
  19. Another week, another ticket counter. It's going to be some party! https://jsfiddle.net/hs3mnau1/1/show Edited to add: Ignore the "Currently Available" number. It's evidently bollocks.
  20. My wee girl is away to nursery this morning singing "...watching Ayrshire Killie, putting on a show!". She is hooked! I'll probably have a form to sign when I pick her up! ?
  21. An "unavailable seat" does not equal a "sold seat". The club have disabled the online sales, which is why you are seeing every seat in red. No one has claimed that the ticket tracker is 100% accurate, but it won't be a million miles away. Are you really suggesting that all seats in the Chadwick are sold?
  22. Have fun! https://jsfiddle.net/odfjcn6r/show Credit to @Kfc_sjp
  23. Probably just a BBC decision. So they can show "The NINE" at 9pm
  24. It hasn't "sold out", more like it's been removed from sale. Seems a bit daft. Only reason I can think is in an attempt to get the Moffat a little busier.
