  1. The only way to have consistent internet speeds is to go with Virgin Media cable. ADSL (all the other providers) is a lucky bag of usage/line quality/and (in some cases) throttling.

     

    My only beef is why the Monopolies Commission (or whatever its current incarnation is called) allows Virgin Media to have a national monopoly on cable broadband.  If Virgin Media were forced to compete with other providers, I'm sure their broadband prices would be much cheaper.

  2. Holloway can't possibly be given the job - the appointment would be too divisive amongst fans... the Board cannot risk alienating sections of the fans when they have already aliented a large portion by their mismanagement of the club and their incompetence in allowing the club to slide to the depths it has - Holloway would be too risky...

     

    Personally, I think he is an overrated charlatan who loves the sound of his own voice, and he doesn't fit my criteria of a manager who would be good for BCFC...

     

     

    It already has.

     

    errrmm... I did say that, didn't I?

  4. Few stats to start with:-

    Under Millen (wiggles for 2 games)

    6 pts from 12 league games = 0.5 pts per game

    Under Del

    25 pts from 19 league games = 1.31 pts per game

    if we continue with that form we will accumulate a further 19 pts from the remaining 15 games giving us a total haul of 50 pts.

    Question: Is that enough?

    Stats can be manipulated to support any side of an argument. If you compare like for like and compare Millen's 12 league games at the start of the season with McInnes' last 12 league games (or our current form, if you prefer), the results are much closer:

    Millen W1 D3 L8 6pts from 12 = 0.5/game

    McInnes W3 D2 L7 11pts from 12 = 0.92/game

    Projecting our current form over the 15 games remaining gives a return of 13.75pts (let's be generous and say 14 points)

    That's only a total of 45 points and while I think that may probably be enough, I'm still of the opinion it will go to the wire. I think a lot depends on whether McManus can improve our form and patch the defence to concede less.
