Broony88 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 He may have missed, but he managed to put it over the bar, which is a ridiculous skill, he can make a career in the circus if/when his footballing career goes to shit. He plays for Morton and you used the term if/when his footballing career goes to shit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 So Durnan made a save our goalkeeper would have been proud of and was rightly sent off!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This thread has reached a new high From the commentary feed To be fair if he tried the to take the penalty with his head then I'm not surprised he missed. I agree. This thread has indeed reached a new high. So much so that the thread title should see Gavin Berry deleted and replaced with BBC. The fictional penalty at Somerset is truly bizarre.

KingoftheSouth Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 According to Jeff Stelling there is 90 miles between Dingwall and Inverness. I heard him saying that too on SSN, and also that both are cities! Then 5 minutes later he advised that Dundee UNITED and Hamilton accies were drawing 0-0! Unbelievable!

Savage Henry Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The BBC match report from the Highland Derby yesterday is laughable. It wasn't an own goal, and the last two paragraphs talk about County being very lucky to get away with a penalty shout which was never even close to being a foul, let alone contact being made.

Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Gordon Waddell does a piece in The Sunday Mail on the meaning of "perspective" about today's rangers v sellick game. He could also quite as easily have done the same with "irony" as his paper, along with most others in Scotland, have built this game up to be almost warfare. Indeed The Mail features a (mock-up) picture of the captains of both teams wearing American Grid-Iron type protective helmets. Ever since the draw for the Semi-finals was made, the Scottish media has hyped this game up well above it's standing in British never mind World Football, and stoked the fire of rivalry aimed at the lowest common section of both clubs' support, and not necessarily the minority. They have paraded more than a team of ex-players to talk about explosive meetings in the past, leaving aside that this arguably the first actual meeting of these clubs, shown pictures of player's punch-ups, a referee with a cut head from a thrown coin and inferred that the losers will be treated like lepers in society. Of course if, or more likely when, trouble does kick-off amongst the players, or specators, or on the streets, the media will be amongst the first to condemn the behaviour while bringing us a gallery of pictures to illustrate the mayhem, all the while conveniently forgetting that the were partly responsible for building up the tension in the first place. The Media, ex-players and managers constantly trot out that meetings of these Clubs is good for all of Scottish football without ever giving a reason why it is so vital. Certainly the back-lash that normally follows will show Scottish football in anything but good light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcrover Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 BBC Sport website proudly announces that the Scottish Cup quarterfinal draw sees 3 Premier teams ( correct) 4 Championship teams (2 in a row correct) going into the hat....but Spartans and ARBROATH have to replay first. Mind you the poor souls probably cannot get their heads round Berwick, being in Englandshire, having a team in the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
