Tin Star has been a slow burner but stuck with it as I really like Roth....

Love the fact that he wakes up clueless about the night before and he's hookers lying around his room!!

I think i've about 5 of these watched. Slow burner alright but def very good.  There is a lot about the Roth character still to be revealed i expect.

Have watched the full series. Good but kind of left you wanting it to be more i.e. it wasn't as good as it should have been. Roth is good. Truly unlikeable character played very well.

Probably the page where he mentions his reinvigoration and determination fuelled by his critics from within.

It all went downhill after Dr. Christian Jessen & "Embarrassing Bodies" went there.

😂 The humiliation was too much.
Was a great thing keeping a GAA club going in the heartlands of Sammy wilson and the ilk.
Ballymena really took off as a club with their new facilities in similar circumstances. Prior to that on their old pitch you would more likely be tackled by a branch than a player. Bigger Catholic population
helped too, obviously.

KT is not like the rest of the rest though, he's a Celtic man thru and thru. That's not to say that he won't move abroad and i'd love to see him play a few levels higher than he is at Celtic (i don't say that lightly), he's such a great cub who still has his feet on the ground and i'm sure for ambitions only sometime in his career he'd like a crack at some other team in another league...but here's hoping he's a celt for life

He may well become our best paid player and stay for a few years. Not everybody is motivated solely by cash. However, he is 20 and could give Celtic five more years, be captain for ten in a row, see Celtic make that step in CL, earn £10m in that time and still be able to move on with another ten years in the game. He's not going anywhere else fast.

We are a long way from that level yet but Bayern are a QF of CL team, as are PSG. We have been unlucky with our groups this year and last. EL is looking appealing.

An example of different ways to buy a car.

Focus ST-Line 1.0 EcoBoost 140PS on Ford website PCP 3 year deal:
0% APR, Customer Deposit £5,610, Monthly Payment £209, Optional Final Payment, £7,996.
You can get better deal than this I'm sure if you go for pre registered or a demonstrator.

Similar car to lease £152.72 per month, Processing Fee: £198.00, Initial Rental £916.32, 2 year deal. These deals usually includes road tax and sometimes break down cover.

10k loan for 2 year old car, 2.8% APR based on borrowing £10,000 and repaying over 60 months with 60 monthly repayments. Monthly repayments of £178.64 with total amount repayable of £10,718.40.

You need to decide what you want from a car. If you want a vehicle to get you from here to there, buy second hand and pay off a loan. Downside here is you may have little or no warranty, potentially more costly with repairs and MOT is a factor, may be less efficient.
A new car on PCP gives you warranty, reduces potential repair costs and you have a car that no one else has driven. Downside is you will end up paying more and may be stung with no equity at end of the deal.
Leasing is cheaper, get a new car and full warranty included. Downside is you will never own the car (not an issue if you want to change regularly), you have to find the initial lump sum payment each time you start a new deal, potential costs as car has to be in good condition at end of the deal. Mileage really shouldnt be an issue as you should be aware of what you need at beginning of deal. Also it is usually only 10p a mile give or take a couple of pence. Therefore, £1 for every extra ten miles. So if you did 2,000 extra miles that equates to £200.

I would probably go with a lease or PCH.
#427
PCH or lease. The payment at the end of the agreement will probably leave you with little equity or none. Have had two PCPs and had f**k all equity at end of the agreement. Leasing makes sense if you wish to change regularly. Unless you are hoping to run a car for years why go for an agreement to own the car? Ultimately you will never own the car anyway. Looking at a specific car work out your 3 year costs for PCP and PCH or leasing and I think you will be surprised.

Listened to rte radio coverage of the match on Monday night. Anyone know who the co-commentater was?

Was it Beglin?
Yep it was Beglin.
He said radio so it wasn't Beglin as he was on TV. Wasn't listening to it but going on previous was it Kerr by any chance?

That would make sense. Seemed knowledgeable. Talked a lot of crap too!

Routine. We didn't have to be at our best. No more of a challenge than Motherwell.

What is wrong with wanting to secure a contented eternity? It is a promise and reward I believe in,and am simply pursuing.

Contented eternity? You do know what eternity means? F*#k that. This lifetime is enough for me. Contented eternity sounds like hell to me.

Paddy Power have it priced up now

Sarsfields 11/10
Draw 9/1
Carey 4/5

Some difference with Boyles
That's a better price

With the discrepancies in prices you are on a no lose possibility.
Total bet £18, £10 on Sarsfields at 11/10, total returns if a win = £21
                          £8 on Carey at 15/8, total returns if Carey win = £23
Therefore, profit either way. Free money?

What about a draw

Oops! Good job I didn't bet the house!

If a Rangers or Hearts fan ran on and attacked a Celtic player or manager would such leniency be forthcoming? At 21 he's old enough to do the time.This was an attempt at physical assault not a drunken asshole singing a few rebel songs 😡

Short memory. Did you forget the hearts fan having a go at NL?
