Mark Reynolds wanting a St Johnstone penalty for Jacks tackle on Montgomery. Wild. No wonder people are using other means than Sky subscriptions.

Just seen that there, fucking hell 😂

Goodness, Darwen and Darwin? That's pub-emptying pedantry, laddie.

But yes, if you insist, I'm having a terribly bad day. I'll live the rest of my life, which won't be very long, in a deep slough of utter shame and all my joys will be ashes, all my pleasures pains, and there will be no future, no aspiration, no relief. I am in a bad place.

You, by contrast, are an Aberdeen supporter.

 

Hang on...

Late to the party here, but this is a classic of the heads gone genre.

Honestly, how fucking hard is it to put together an accurate graphic for a match

It is almost impressive how often this happens across multiple outlets.

Not as if it is a knockoff of the last round and theyve just forgotten to update the St Mirren picture. But theyve actually went to the effort of going through their stock photos and selecting one that is wildly wrong. I would fucking love to give so little a shit on how I perform at my job.

I honestly don't know how they do it. Even if the stock photo has been tagged with the wrong team name or something, it isn't hard to quickly google what colours Thistle play in or check if the badge on that shirt matches the badge on the graphic they are using!

I reckon that's exactly what they've done, seen it's a circle and just went for it.

Where is smarmy git Graeme Spiers, noo? Used to be highly regarded by some mainly because they thought anyone who used such tortuous sentences and big words must be dead brainy and dead good. I loathed him because of his frequent uninformed chortlefests about the Juniors about which, as, frankly, a rather posh chap, he knew nothing.

An Old Firm lover who became a pariah when the Old Firm fans fell out with him. 

I remember when the new Rangers were allowed into League 2 he found himself reporting on Spiffle Premier games not involving either half of the OF. At one point he went into a reverie about how he'd learned that, at the likes of St Johnstone and St Mirren, local people went and, you know, supported their local team. This seemed quite a revelation to him.

Last time I switched off the radio on hearing his voice he was presenting some must-miss golf chat programme.
