  1. That could probably be applied to a lot of things, not making excuses but thats life I suppose. The fact that we're even talking about Aspergers is probably a step in the right direction, 10 years ago most of us probably hadn't even heard of it let alone a vague understanding.
  2. I don't think anyone was intending any slight Mrs M, we're not experts but then again despite what we think most of us aren't the renowned experts on Scottish football we like to think we are either, it doesn't stop us spraffing on about that either. I think we're trying to figure out why Supras was such a humourless, p***kly and argumentative 'character' (there, I said it ! ). His dogmatic approach to debate certainly suggested that there was issues. One of my best mates used to say (and it struck a chord with me and I now think the same) that all men are autistic and all women are neurotic, its a sweeping generalisation but it seems to me that we're probably all on some scale for something. I hope it all goes well with the wee one.
  3. I've not been very active on here for a while, not sorry to see Supras gone, I found that even when I agreed with his starting point somehow his manner was so argumentative I couldn't bring myself to support him, someone on here has mentioned Aspergers and I have to agree, megalomania would be one I'd be testing for too. Was Casual Bystander one of his ? I thought there were a lot of similarities.
  4. My accumulator came in that day as well, it wasn't a massive one (I think 2 games were cancelled) but I took about a ton of the bookies. Definitely a day to remember
  5. Aye, I checked my spam folder, nada. I've emailed them so hopefully today they'll sort it. Cheers for replying though mate.
  6. Tried to join today, haven't got my confirmation email and its been a while anyone else have snags or am I just getting the bums rush
  7. The new one is out on the 19th of December, I can't wait.
  8. Saw this on the news and I fancy it. I'm a history dweeb though.
  9. Kudos to Nicky Riley, he's made of balsa wood so would get smashed to a pulp but you've got to love his spirit.
  10. I liked him and he seemed to enjoy his time at Dens, good luck to him and I wish him all the best.
  11. Still an outside bet for the deadpool, the Fatwa is still ongoing.
  12. We've got one a few years ago (Mrs Roots idea) and I thought it would last a month and the wee cup things would be expensive/pain to use etc but here I am about 3 years later still using it. Great wee things and you can order the capsule things online for less than they are in the shops, they usually throw in a freebee as well, admittedly its usually some foul sweet thing that doesn't interest me but hey, they're free so no biggy. Enjoy your bargain mate, I like the Americano but there's loads of different ones.
  13. After today he'll be having us in Europe. I hope he's right too.
  14. My bad, I should have said rough patch, not sure why I went with purple patch. I'll get me coat
  15. Don't jinx it dude, we coild quite easily go through a purple patch. 10th is still the bench mark.
  16. The pre season Tank was pretty good to be honest, we were all creaming over him but for whatever reason it hasnt worked (yet). Still think he could come good, we had a wee taster of what he can do when he puts his mind to it.
  17. Good shout, I'm a big fan of Stewart, he's versatile and seems up for it. McGinn is another one who's made the jump up from part time and I guess the 2 German boys may be the same. Overall he's brought some very shrewd signings in.
  18. He does seemto have a good 'football brain', I think thats why PH told Craig Wighton to learn from him. http://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/football/dundee-fc/dundee-teen-urged-to-take-his-lead-from-david-clarkson-1.629910 He laid on a pass out along the wing last saturday knowing that Boyle would run on to it, it dragged the game right back up to the other end and just smacked of 'class'.
  19. Its another example of how people see things differently, I think some of his passing and movement is really good. While admittedly there wasn't much movement involved, his stepping off his marker against Accies to give himself enough room to take a short run and out jump his marker was really well done. I think he's been a really good bit of business for us and (touch wood) worth the gamble.
  20. I'd say maybe 30 years ago but as for the rest of it, harsh dude, harsh, its a 'wid' from me and I mean the now version.
  21. No need to walk, you should get one of these bad boys They seem your style.
