  1. The concept of the Pars being in the top division would definitely confuse some young folk.
  2. Aye, but this is a totally different situation. Pittodrie is in breach of a number of UEFA regulations that definitely exist, and costs a billion mega-pounds a day to maintain.
  3. Some (all?) energy suppliers charge a higher tariff if you don't pay by DD. I got fed up with SSE setting my Electricity DD far too high for my usage (which I track pretty closely) so I switched to paying on receipt of the bill and found that out! My gas is still on an inflated DD with SSE but I figure at least they're not getting too much of my money up front. b*****ds.
  4. That somehow managed to both suck and blow.
  5. When Saturday Comes is an excellent publication that I've subscribed to for decades but I was disappointed to see that they'd bought into the fairy tale in their wee piece about this programme in a recent issue. However someone has written in to the latest issue and put them straight on a few things: "... there is an inescapable suspicion that there may be some at the club who are happy to bask in a level of publicity that only exists because the team's results are consistently abysmal and much of their off-field organisation is completely shambolic." Bob McPherson, Dundee, WSC 426. A doff of the cap to Bob!
  6. I'm happy to to pin the climate emergency and the cost of living crisis on him too.
  7. The main man himself netted direct from a corner in Wigan's win against Blackpool today. I'm envisioning some proper heads-gone from the poppy fascists in the stands. Lovely stuff.
  8. One fairly simple one from a Fletcher header, and he clawed away a cross in the first half that might have been on target. That's all I can remember.
  9. We didn't play well and were really under the cosh for most of that second half, but a couple of close-range chances for Fletcher and that time the ball got flashed low across goal was all United could come up with.
  10. Scott Brown v Joey Barton was "a terrific rivalry"?! Aye right you are Kenny.
  11. Tommy Wright was garbage. Among the worst I've seen play for us in my 36 years going to Pittodrie.
  12. I'm going to guess McLean was boo'd because a reasonable proportion of Scottish folk, and therefore of the Tartan Army, are staunch AF poppy-shaggers. It might have been a small minority but it doesn't take that many people boo'ing for it to be heard on the telly and that.
  13. My solution is to reinstate the old law - deliberate handball is a foul and accidental handball isn't a foul. The referee decides whether it's deliberate or not based on his assessment / balance of probabilities / whether or not the attacking team is Rangers or Celtic / etc. It worked fine for 100 years until arsehole fans started shouting "handball!" whenever the ball hit a hand accidentally in the penalty box and idiot pundits on MOTD started reacting to this and demanding a completely unnecessary law change because they're too ignorant to read and understand the fucking laws of the game. If your team gets a shot on goal blocked by the ball accidentally hits a defender's hand (eg. the United penalty yesterday) then tough luck, it's the rules.
  14. Cowan thinks Motherwell should sign Leigh Griffiths. Wooft.
  15. "Remember to breathe, Duncan" was the best line of the episode IMHO. Although the presenter boy ripping into St Johnstone was pretty good as well.

    Week 8

    Back up now - looks like there was a lot of Twitter rage about it. Ah well, my Redzone is starting at 6pm like every other week....

    Week 8

    Any Gamepass users on here having trouble getting access? I've been trying on two PCs plus a phone but just can't get past the first page! So annoying.
  18. It also intervened to award the first Dons goal, TBF.
