So you can't read my sentence above containing points (2) and (3) can you?

Idiot.

Correction - I'm the idiot, for engaging. Because the fact no-onexelse can be bothered with your pictish ramblings tells you what exactly? 

See you, later, jimmy.

Just about every suggestion I've made they have all been free except for a few who weren't even unaffordable players around the £1 to £2 million mark so I'm at the point now when I don't even think you've actually read any off my post suggestions plenty off players leaving plenty off cash to bring in replacement on less wages freed up and that still includes Lawrence Shankland

Congratulations on coming across as a complete arse. Belittling another user for...let's see...liking Scottish things and having dyslexia?

Goodness me, not a good look mate...

Explain exactly where belittling dyslexia has occurred. 

Thanks in advance.

As for the Scotch thing.

His ramblings on the transfer forum are insane, by anyone's standards.

I know a lad in Inverness Cally's youth set up. He's  a striker- hey  we need one of them. How about him?

In fact, I do know such a lad. Funny thing is, I'm not clogging the forum up with random transfer suggestions though. 

But feel free to be upset on someone else's behalf.

It's the modern way.

Yep, looks like your abrasive behaviour is now focused on me, for daring to call you out on it. Which only proves my original point further.

First off all I'm not clogging up the sight with suggestions 

I was asked too put them all on my own thread which I happily complied with

I've already complimented the clubs approach in letting us fans have a little input into signings its to be applauded 

Anybody is welcome too agree or disagree with mines as they choose I'm fine with that its part and parcel

Myself and the other poster had an exchange of views about, inter alia, dyslexia. It was finished with. We moved on. 

Imagine 2 blokes in a pub having that exchange. They're might be disagreement, misunderstanding, whatever. But its finished with. They move on to talking about something else.

Then some randomer walks across the pub, interrupts, and starts up the argument again. 

I suspect said randomer would be told to mind his own business and do one. 

So - because you seem to find my forthright manner upsetting, bless - I respectfully suggest you do likewise. Abrasive? Quite possibly. But so what, when you consider the context. Hurt your feelings, has it? Diddums, get a grip. 

Unless of course you really, really want to go into battle on behalf of poor old defenceless "cider man"?

And btw using tripe like "daring to call out" simply doesn't cut it, old chum. It proves nothing, least of all some sort of moral superiority.

Heaven knows what you're going to quote next from the wokester's lexicon but I look forward to it.

What a nice way to start the morning; reading a weird, rambly essay about an imaginary pub. I found it rather funny, albeit probably not in the manner you intended.

I'll finish with what I said first - congratulations on coming across as a complete arse!

Yep, it’s good, read it before Xmas, got it signed by the Top Man himself.  It’s written a bit different to a lot of autobiographies, and I think it made for an excellent read.

Really enjoying Top Man. Probably upto chapter 13 or thereabouts.

Not particularly impressed with Geoff saying Rovers had twice as many fans as Tranmere in the Leyland Daf trophy, and 40,000 gasheads celebrated Devon Whites equaliser....the official attendance on the day was 48,000 thousand!!!

I think a little bit of gas logic and perpetuating the myth by Geoff going on there!

Otherwise a good read. Literally only 1 or 2 chapters on his football playing career, but funny to hear about his nights out to Chasers/Odyssey/Corn Street. All around the time I was hitting the same venues.

By saying that he`s guaranteed himself more sales from the dribblers even though most of them (the few that can read anyway) will probably shoplift it rather than pay.
