KirkieRR Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC site has opened a forum - 'Have Your Say' - on Darvel and one thing noticeable about the ha-ha-bleedin-Jock-football-is-a-pub-league-innit Premier League armchair fanboys who are HYS's core market is that they can't handle the word 'Darvel' even when it's written on the screen they're looking at. 'Derval' and 'Darwel' are the most common variants.

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
