Happy St. Patrick's Day
invergowrie arab replied to Barry Ferguson's Hat's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Even if you are a nativist anti-Irish racist there is no need to miss out on all the fun. St Patrick was Scottish. Born in Old Kilaptrick hence the cross and the big man himself on the Clydebank badge. -
Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'm not a Christian and I still take part in Easter and Christmas so I don't see why I should pass up one of the biggest communal drinking days in the calendar. I'll also be donating £50 to Sinn Féin -
Dundee United 23/24

Why are you being so negative? The owner has put a lot of his own money in and he's a successful businessman. -

Lungi Capuano. Its a job to him so no incentive to do anything. -

Tap o the league. What a club -
Anyone had any joy with SSC card in store? Seeing a lot of moans that it won't be accepted online.

I don't mind the home one. The overall theme and colour scheme is clearly a Euro 96 throwback and as a result will strike fear into the hearts of the Swiss. The away one is an absolute disgrace.

P&B Chess League - Season 8 coming soon….

Div A Invergowrie beats @Ken Deans by resignation. Well played mate. Not much in but managed to get my nose in front, trade down and split some pawns for possibly my only win of this season. -
Strongest 11/McGregor/Ferguson conundrum
invergowrie arab replied to The SandDancer's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
Calum McGregors performances for Scotland are incredible. The fact he can raise his game at international level despite playing year in year out at a small club who consistently struggle in Europe is a testament to his qualities. -

TBF to Middleton that will be another assist for that ridiculous second goal. Surely one of the softest goals ever scored. -
Townsend has spurned his inheritance Running gun rugby is exciting but his legacy will be total underachievement

Dundee United 23/24
invergowrie arab replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Second time in a week I have come out of a united match reasonably pleased. Opposition obviously rank but I liked what we did. Only grumble is a 4-0 skoosh should be a free hit for Middleton and he still does nothing -
I can't put my finger on why I can't stand Nutmeg. I think it's an inverse snobbery going back to reading people Graeme Speirs where I have never liked the simple pleasures of Scottish football turned into pompous loquacious long reads. A bit of it is also that I'd rather read Hugh McIlvanney than really poor imitations of Hugh McIlvanney. He broke the sports long read by being too good.

Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...
invergowrie arab replied to well fan for life's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
The Taypark in Dundee are offering a full Scottish "brekky". I hope it goes on fire -
Strathspey have the licensed ground, club doctor, protecting people policies and everything else a licensed club needs. Loch Ness have some kits that speccy loser groundhoppers like which would make less sense playing out of Grantown than the Moray Firth.

My for you tab used to be the far right and Indian lads with a blue tick and now it's just tragically bald dads and their witless banter replies to people I follow and I think I preferred the fash. -
The away one is loupin. Monochrome badges are shite.

Dundee United 23/24
invergowrie arab replied to MeadowArab's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The Thompsons weren't trying to make a profit. ET was happy to plough his money and ST happy to take his salary and share options. They were still really bad a the whole running a sustainable football club too though. You don't even have to win European ties to get European group stage football any more. Even without European football other top flight clubs make money. Indeed you could argue plenty money has been made from Utd recently just that none of it found its way to the owner. -

That's not even remotely true. Ogren has just been really bad at it. Scottish clubs reaching European group stage football should be achievable on a fraction of the budget required to do so. -
No he has chosen to give up a portion of his day for a set fee. Not an indeterminate amount of time until the home club gets its act together. It's also a pisstake for those club volunteers but we wont hear from them. I did a guest lecture last week at a university on a subject I'm passionate about and genuinely enjoyed giving. If I had turned up and was told to wait an hour and a half I'd have walked. Even if he wanted to stay there are a 100 good reasons somebody can't hang about longer.

If the ref at Wick had nothing else to do on Saturday it was good of him to hold on. It's not a precedent. It's the height of arrogance and entitlement to expect someone giving up their Saturday for 75 quid to hang about until a pitch becomes playable. The responsibility to ensure the game goes ahead lies entirely with the home side by way of them providing a pitch which meets the referees satisfaction at the stated kick off time.
