  1. A lot of passive aggressive "mating" going on in here eh?
  2. "Incognito". These are the type of morons that are totally defeated when Superman puts on a pair of specs.
  3. I thought Adams actually looked alright last night, big improvement from last week (opposition quality accepted). He was wrong footed at a low cross in the first half, and frustratingly couldn't get that ball out from his feet in the second - but he was linking well with oncoming midfielders most of the game. He's definitely our best option in that position.
  4. P Probably a bit off topic here, but I was particularly impressed with Gordon's footwork last night. Rook some pretty hairy backpasses with absolutely zero fuss.
  5. "....she said WALK THIS WAAA-AAAY!!!..."
  6. Wtf are you talking about? History told you that 3/4 qualifiers only had one point more after three games than a figure you said would "guarantee non-qualification". You're just making up reasons to be cynical and dismissive, and it's really fucking tiresome.
  7. Thanks guys. It's certainly not one I remembered much growing up in Ayrshire - feels like I might have a decent chance here. I'll give it a go this weekend.
  8. 3/4 group winners in LB last time had six points after three games. We'd still be well in it with 5.
  9. Nobody that I recognise, although as I get older that's saying less and less. They've got a boy on 48 caps that plays for Slovan Bratislava, a lot of players at the same club side (Alashkert) that can be a concern at this level. I'm looking forward to it as well. Wednesdays disappointment remains, but this has been a great competition for us over the years - hopefully this is another success. A win here, before a wee hard fought draw between Armenia and Ireland next weekend would be great
  10. 7 points would not be avoiding disaster - if we get that start we'll win the group IMO. 5 points would be bearable, 3 or below is disaster material.
  11. I'm thinking of planting an area with Hebe for this reason, but not sure if it'll be too cold where we are (Glasgow area). Anyone had any success with it?
  12. Ideal if you've ever looked at a handgun ans thought, "not bad, but could be knifier"...
  13. Have you consulted them on this appointment btw? Remember what happened last time.
  14. Currently IMO it's Callum McGregor. All-time, very hard to look past Roy Keane. Strolled several games up here, two medals in less than six months, and an unforgettable winning goal against Falkirk.
  15. I cannot believe that there's an attempt to rebrand Roy Keane's time in Scotland as anything other than an abject and hilarious failure.
  16. Some really harrowing stories on this thread, I'm feeling very fortunate that I've never had to experience what some of you have been through. I wouldn't say I've been a victim of bullying myself, but I did have to watch my Mother going through it towards the end of her career. She is now retired but was a FE lecturer, and took immense pride in her work and her ability to do it to a high standard. As she got towards her late 50s however, there were two colleagues who had previously been fairly close friends of hers who suddenly, and without any seeming justification completely turned on her. What had been an enjoyable work environment very quickly turned either completely silent/hypercritical almost overnight, and sadly it affected her to the point that she had to take an extended period off sick. It's absolutely heartbreaking to watch someone you love go through this kind of thing, periodically blaming or questioning themselves, and watching their confidence ebb away with each interaction - all for absolutely no gain to the other women either. What's more is that now, more than a decade after her retirement, her whole estimation of her achievements within her career is undoubtedly undermined by her experiences as a victim of bullying.
  17. Scottish football has definitely got more enjoyable since we all started lobbing statements around with the self-possession of aggrieved WAGs. Wonderful stuff - although for full marks there needs to be more of an overt insinuation of historical institutional bias, it's definitely a very good effort. 8/10.
