  1. Where have you seen accusations of impartial journalism from Scottish football reporters (if anywhere)? Never seen that personally but maybe others have.
  2. That's a wee shame for Wynd Ham.
  3. Don't forget the guy who wants to talk to us about his leakage...
  4. I may be in the minority here but I really struggle with Sky's coverage in general. Far too many ad breaks, and a lot of annoying commentators. Dame Laura is at least cheerful and does add the odd insight, but Ewen Murray is bad - tends to sound pretty bored, aaaaaaaand randomly lengthens words for no reason. McGinley is unbearable - a wittering blowhard who is obsessed with Rory. Nick Dougherty is an irritating lightweight, and even Coltart doesn't add much for me even though he's Scottish. The banter with the co-comms about him being rubbish is getting really tedious. I quite like Beem and Henni though - he does the old grump role better than Murray (and has actually been there and done it on tour and won a major) and she is fine to listen to and knowledgable; tends to be more focused on the action than Coltart et al. too. Delighted to see Wyndham "Personality" Clark dump it in the water on 17 so far short of the green - an absolutely terrible shot. I'm amazed his caddy's practice putting strokes with a wedge on the green is allowed - that must be at the limit of slow play p1ss-taking, worse even than Aimpoint.
  5. Routine three points against Greenock. We have no competent keeper, we're toiling badly, they have recently been on a 16 game unbeaten run - and yet we're somehow still above them. Oh, and Big Brian Graham scores again. Chuckle.
  6. I remember Clark's drive on the last hole of the US Open he won last year. A massive carve, about 60 yards right which on any other USO course would have resulted in dropped shots. Great that Bob beat him in Rome but it was a ghost match which was barely shown. We may be entering the Scheffler/ Clark era... zero personality between them.
  7. I agree on the play off spot, which probably isn't going to happen now and would be pointless anyway. All I would say in Doolan's defence is that although we've scored a decent amount of goals, goalkeeping howlers have dogged us. Last season Sneddon and Mitchell were both competent 6-7/10 Championship keepers and this year they're both catastrophically bad, as is the wage-thief backup. I'm not sure that is on the manager and really it's what has cost us a lot of points. The defence has issues, but when you have three terrible GKs with zero form and confidence between them you will always be in bother and that will affect the rest of the team. The glory days of Tam Černý are a distant memory and I'd welcome back free-agent Scott "beaten at the near post" Fox, things are that bad. I'm not even sure I am joking.
  8. Fern's buddy Struan is staying over for a few days. A pretty chilled out duo (after the usual zoomies on the morning walk).
  9. The question for Clarke and Shankland is, are Germany, Switzerland and Hungary's defences going to be easier to score against than Morton's?
  10. I think it looks brilliant under the lights.
  11. Townsend's talent is clearly as attack coach - he has undoubtedly transformed Scotland into a potent attacking team. Trouble is they are still soft as shite overall, easily intimidated, lose concerntration for half an hour at a time, and always immediately fold under pressure. We need a scary ruthless character ideally as head coach or at least as the forwards coach. The second half at the weekend there was headless chickens stuff - no leadership on or off the field. It doesn't look to me like they believe they are winners (except for Russell, but he's not capable of instilling discipline across the team when they need it). There is still a triple crown on offer next weekend but I can't see any reason why this team will get any more against Ireland than they did in the disgraceful no-show in the WC - we'll lose by 20+. This really is a waste of a great generation of players. They haven't even managed 2nd in the 6N under GT never mind coming close to winning it, partly because Ireland know how to nullify us and we don't have any surprises to spring. The only thing which will cheer me up slightly is if Italy beat Wales next week so the Welsh end up 0-5.
  12. "Biscuits" squealing through an argument with angry Michael, egged on by Kenny Mac. A suitable soundtrack to activities at a CIA black site.
  13. He's that rare thing - a genuinely brilliant golfer who just isn't fun to watch. I fear this year could be a borefest with SS and Wyndham Clark winning a lot. Fingers crossed for some really bad weather at Troon.
  14. 1. So what? 2. It was in the cup. 3. Fair enough. I quite like them too. 4. Sadly I am not sure about that, the Jags last won a trophy in 1971 (I don't personally count the Tennents Sixes) and this season's been another mediocre plod in the second tier.

  16. What about one who does a wee half-step jig to make sure he gets a good kick at the water bottle when he's losing?
  17. I agree. The only interesting thing I have noticed about @2426255 is that they posted their first 4000 or so boring comments as a blank profile with no supported team and the anonymous numbers name, and now has suddenly declared themself an Aberdeen fan. I've had numbers on ignore for ages though so maybe there has been lots of Dandy Dons chat. PS VAR is absolute shite and the delays are a huge step backwards in football, especially given we still get some weird decisions - it just takes 5 minutes now rather than being instant. It's not going away though.
  18. You can do if you like, but you'd be completely wrong. Supporting Thistle is generally a good laugh, except when we chuck a 3-goal lead in the Premiership playoff in the last 20 mins then lose on pens of course. That was a bit shit. Cheer up - you might still make it 12 out of the last 13 League titles despite the world's most ineffective establishment conspiracy, now wouldn't that be exciting.
  19. The good thing about supporting a diddy team is that we are psychologically prepared to draw and (gasp!) lose league matches. Wins are savoured, not boring and routine. That's why the Celtic fans' massive, nonsensical paranoia, astronomical entitlement, referee-blaming and calling for your board to be sacked just because you're 2 points off the top of the premiership, having won the league 11 out of the past 12 years, is really really funny.
