  1. Not Brazil, but the other week a guesthouse decided to hang my laundry up on the razor wire surrounding the building.
  2. Have I missed some stereotype about nurses being easily scared?
  3. Do folk think we'd be better playing downhill in the first or second half?
  4. Is this sort of thing covered by the Freedom of Information act? I think we have a right to know.
  5. No, it was one with no structural integrity. The sides came apart from the bottom so it all spilled out, and it was actually a bit undercooked. The gravy wasn't that tasty, either.
  6. I realise that games on Astro are postponed occasionally, but I don't think that's down to poor maintenance as was claimed, just adverse weather conditions.
  7. Largely agree with that. McGuigan is excellent, Telfer does a good job, Sked has grown on me, but Fowler is heading for the People you Dislike for no Real Reason thread. It's like he has an unearned smugness about him, if that makes any sense. Borthwick is good, I enjoy Anderson on it, but maybe he's an only every now and again type, Canavan is usually passable but had an absolute mare the other week. I think the programme in general is very good. The films are great and break up what would otherwise probably be too much faffing about in the studio. I don't listen to podcasts, so its a good way for me to find out about interesting goings on in other divisions without trawling through dozens of match threads on here. When it comes on after the Championship TV match it makes for a great Friday night of Scottish football to get you excited for a pumping away to Inverness or whatever the next day. Never seen Open Goal. If it's 70% Old Firm then I doubt it's for me.
  8. When was the last time a match was postponed because an artificial pitch wasn't maintained adequately? To frame the issue as "just as true" for both surfaces seems like your already acknowledge bias coming through.
  9. That's nothing, last season a League 2 match thread went 40 (forty) pages before a ball was kicked.
  10. Having seen the delicious and disproportionate reaction by some Morton fans, questions must be being asked in Championship boardrooms around the country about why their ground staff haven't been moving the hoardings in, too.
  11. It proves that "a" grass pitch, singular, can be well maintained. Other pitches have issues like drainage and shadows causing problems which are peculiar to those sites and don't exist to the same extent at Forthbank and cannot be simply solved. Forthbank is generally a lovely surface, but to imply that all other clubs need to do to replicate it is give their pitches the right amount of love and attention is giving your ground staff far too much credit.
  12. You Write a short transcript of a radio programme about Scottish football hosted by a journalist, where four former players talk about last weekend's results. ChatGPT [Radio Programme: Scottish Football Roundup] Host: Welcome, everyone, to another edition of Scottish Football Roundup. I'm your host, [Host's Name], and today we have a fantastic lineup of former football legends joining us to dissect the action from last weekend's matches. Let's dive straight in! [Theme music fades out] Host: First up, we have the iconic striker from Glasgow Rangers, Alan McGregor. Alan, great to have you on the show. Alan McGregor: Thanks for having me, [Host's Name]. Host: Our pleasure, Alan. So, Rangers faced a tough challenge against Celtic last weekend. How do you think they performed? Alan McGregor: Well, it was a gritty performance from Rangers, [Host's Name]. They managed to secure a 1-0 victory with a late goal from Morelos. But I have to say, Celtic gave them a real run for their money. Host: Indeed, it was a closely contested match. Now, moving on, we have the legendary midfielder from Aberdeen, Fiona MacDonald. Fiona, what are your thoughts on Aberdeen's draw against Hearts? Fiona MacDonald: Hi, [Host's Name]. Aberdeen's performance was solid, but they couldn't quite break down Hearts' defense. Both teams had their chances, but in the end, a draw seemed a fair result. Host: Thank you, Fiona. Next, we have the former defender from Hibernian, Craig Robertson. Craig, Hibernian suffered a defeat against St. Johnstone. What went wrong for them? Craig Robertson: Hello, [Host's Name]. It was a disappointing result for Hibernian, no doubt. They struggled to find their rhythm throughout the match, and St. Johnstone capitalized on their defensive lapses to secure a 2-1 victory. Host: Tough break for Hibernian indeed. And finally, we have the ex-goalkeeper from Motherwell, Jamie MacDonald. Jamie, Motherwell managed to clinch a narrow win against Dundee United. What's your take on their performance? Jamie MacDonald: Hey, [Host's Name]. It was a hard-fought victory for Motherwell. They showed great determination, especially in defense, to hold off Dundee United's attacks and secure a crucial 1-0 win. Host: Thank you, Jamie, and to all our guests for sharing your insights. That wraps up our discussion on last weekend's Scottish football action. Join us next time for more analysis and commentary. Until then, keep enjoying the beautiful game!
  13. El Hadji Diouf had two- and three-game bans for spitting. He was also fined £5,000 for spitting after charges were brought against him by police.
  14. I think non-religious people celebrating Easter and Christmas are weirdos, too. And who needs "an excuse" to get drunk? Nobody's ever asked me to explain my reasoning for getting rat-arsed.
  15. They would need to lose four of their last five games, so very unlikely.
  16. I'm overnighting in Arbroath for this one (then off to see the women the next day). What are the recommended post-match pubs? Sad to say it might be the last trip for a while.
  17. FTFY Pish. Not a chance he said that when they finished second four seasons on the trot.
  18. Very enjoyable game that as a neutral. The Spartans actually seemed pretty decent for team losing 6-2, though McNulty did nothing and they really need to improve on the Pilton Shilton next season, never before have I seen a side whose shortest player is the goalkeeper. Dumbarton as others have said, showed great work ethic and certainly didn't come across as a team in trouble. Ainsley Park is a not bad wee stadium and as has been said, they were a very friendly lot, got given some free pasta after the match and the The Spartans beer was really nice. The massive touchscreen tv was a bit of a novelty, too. Edit: pie was shite though.
  19. That story is very unlikely to have been true, and was popularised by the school itself as propaganda to try and get power over the game at a time when league was putting its future in doubt.
  20. Does anyone know if there will be any more twists and turns before the end of the season?
  21. Of all the Thistle strikers we've had this century who couldn't score a goal, Jakubiak was my favourite.
  22. Not really sure that's a debate you want to start:
  23. I'm off to this game with a Sons supporting mate of mine from south of the border. The The Spartans' website isn't proving particularly useful: Any good post-match pub recommendations nearbyish with SkySports, not too rammed at that point, cheaper than Stockbridge and less Piltony than Pilton?
  24. Livingston, surely? Neither Ayr or Morton are getting relegated this season and aren't even in the Premiership, so how could Aberdeen go down with them?
