Hibs hate Watt

My job is done

Toby is coming on

No concussion subs yet

Does the Indian do chips?

Delay on the off side

Do you have pakora in for half time?

Are these games still 90 minutes?

Watt would never score

Too many long balls

Good man, they don’t stab you these days.

I don’t often laugh out loud, but....

Did you walk over the bridge, just because?

Spiced onions as a side?

Are you saying they have set up a ring of steel around the stadium? To keep the Well Bois out?

Mario liked a takeaway, he could contribute here.

Do many places still do the staff curry, is that extra special or is it just what’s left?

It is broad brush stuff and the brush is very broad. The issue is the numbers of bodies. On an 80/20 basis 80% of them fit the caricature. Part of the issue is that the 20% don’t see (or hear) the traits that we all see. I took a Rangers supporting colleague through it and his eyes were opened. You seem like a sensible guy, you should wear your 20% label with pride.

Ready made store bought Indian (and Chinese) food has been banned in my house after a number of false starts, although Morrison’s did a passable chicken pakora. Haven’t dabbled much in the jars, I may revisit. The takeaway options around me are generally good such that there are now specific dishes from individual outlets which are favourites e.g. Mr Singh’s channa poori. However my favourite dish at the moment is actually Chinese, salt and pepper chilli king prawn from the Yung Kee in Bannockburn. Superb. The Hibs guys sound a good bunch and I think we can all agree a 1-1 draw will suit us both.

Stirling is well served for Indians. Green Gate pakora is a favourite of my wife’s. Mr Singh, East India Club (no longer with us), Spice Garden, Maharaja all excellent. Mint Leaf has opened in the past year but not had a chance to try it.

Are they based on an elephant’s ear?
