Longest Stretch in Tier 2/3/4
VictorOnopko replied to 10menwent2mow's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
They did beat them in the cup final in 97/8 (?) at Celtic Park, which at the time was very funny. How many finals (and in recent years, semis) have they contested? Can't be that many, although I agree it's still a good stat. -
Bunnahabhain at the weekend, what a place. Great tasting too. I'd have taken a bottle of the 20 y-o PX finish if it was (a lot) cheaper...

Semi Final: Aberdeen vs Celtic
VictorOnopko replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
Didn't engage with this at all. I take it Celtic bravely battled through again despite the massive establishment conspiracy against them which sees our sinister referees always favouring the opposition? If so, inspiring stuff from the underdogs which will please their glory starved fans. -
Scottish Championship Team of the season

Big Brian Graham in all 11 positions. Manager: Big Brian Graham. -
Went to bed when Scheffler hit the 13th green as that was clearly it. He's too conservative to lose a 3 shot lead from there. We have a lot more of this grindingly dull brilliance backed up by The Lord to look forward to. Very disappointing that the final round unravelled so fast in terms of competition. I really thought at least one of Homa, Morikawa or Aberg was going to surprise us and push him all the way (and keep pressure on his putting). Two of them in the pond at 11 with Collin already having doubled 9 then Max in the shrubbery on 12, goodnight Vienna with 6 holes left. It's not often you see leaders dunk it on 11 either as there's no way you should be anywhere near it. Ah well.

How can someone who hits shots like that be so boring and annoying?

The practice range nonsense after the Coldplay montage is infuriating. Show us the players on the course FFS!

I think it's because he arguably hasn't had his best stuff this week, putter was shaky yesterday, he even missed a few greens - and yet when he'd dropped some shots (which he rarely does), he just rolls in an eagle putt on the 13th and he ends the day sole leader with almost everyone else making bad mistakes. I thought he'd be further ahead by now but I'd still be really surprised if he doesn't win. 'Mon Morikawa or Aberg....

I'm just over the water at Cowal and keep meaning to come over and play Routenburn - was the layout changed recently?

I don't care what the Noddingham Foresd score is, Kenny. -
I remember at least a couple of putts looking like they were going to drop early on, and they didn't. He didn't get going and I think he thought he just had to stay ahead of Hovland. Smith absolutely deserved to win. Of course, Young ended up beating Rory too so he didn't even come second My main point was that I don't think he has another major in him. I particularly can't see him ever winning the Masters as the wedge and putter are so tested at Augusta and he clearly tries too hard. That won't stop Sky going on and on about him every day of every year's tournament though. Rory's career is quite a weird one if his last major does turn out to be the 2014 PGA.

Listening to McGinley is torture at the best of times but him (and Dougherty and Jamie Weir) talking about McIlroy verges on cult-like hysteria. I quite like Rory, he seems like an interesting and thoughtful guy, but getting any more majors is looking unlikely now with the quality of younger opposition. If he finishes his career on four, he'll have underachieved given the talent he burst onto the scene with. He was unlucky at St Andrews - leaves a couple of good putts on the lip on the front 9 to really secure himself, and then Smith plays the round/back 9 of his life - but he needs an awful lot of things to click to win another now.
