  1. Been laughing at this for the past 5 minutes, thank you Richey
  2. My phone said it was getting 5G and I’ve had a sore head ever since, anyone else the same?
  3. Bring back scouting extraordinaire Steve Marsella to uncover some lower league gems I say
  4. I’ve been the same on most trips to Hampden and I think it’s maybe to do with the number of people in the stadium. I got signal at the semi in April because I was texting my mate in the Falkirk end. The final against Celtic and on Tuesday night I had little to no signal and whatsapp messages were taking 10-15 minutes to send. Weirdly though, I was in the south stand upper against ROI in September and had full signal throughout the game, messages were sending instantly. In conclusion, we should bulldoze Hampden and start again IMO.
  5. I read that as they were going to go onto the Standard Variable rate at the end of their fixed term and then managed to get another deal which was a tracker mortgage. Could be wrong though. Have to laugh at the guy at the end of the article: Aye no bother mate cause no one needs to eat or heat their home. He also used his 50k savings to take the costs on his monthly payment down by £38? Surely that’s not right or he’s fibbing?
  6. What’s pleasing for me is we have a group of really good players and not just one or two superstars (i.e Wales with Bale and Ramsey to a lesser extent). Good young players coming through too in Hickey, Gilmour, Patterson etc. I’ve said it before but what a turnaround from Porteous, always felt he was a bit of a thug with some of the challenges he used to fly into but he’s proven me wrong big time and that RCB spot is his to lose now.
  7. Peeling my soaking wet jeans off my legs last night was the best feeling I’ve ever had, pretty sure my shoes will still be drying out this time tomorrow too
  8. Got back to glorious FK at quarter to one last night, hope everyone else managed home safely. Me and my mate got absolutely soaked walking from the car to the stadium, 20 minute queue at the turnstile and Calum Mcgregor scored while we were still outside. Managed to get into the stadium up onto the walkway and thought they were doing a VAR check then the referee pulls everyone off the pitch the next 90 minutes is something I don’t think I’ll ever experience again. Think the referee inspected the pitch 3 or 4 times and each time loads of water seemed to kick up round his feet and was bit surprised when he decided to go ahead with it. We had no clue in the stadium what was going on with the Georgians not coming back out, not sure if it was any clearer on the TV. Onto the game, felt we were good in the first half and Robertson, Tierney and Mcgregor created some good openings down the left. Difficult to see from where we were sat but looked like Mcginn missed an absolute sitter at one point where he completely missed the ball. Second half started well with Mctominay lashing one home, felt we played some good stuff but the final ball was lacking at times, either played too early or an extra touch or two closed off the angle for the pass. I did feel we started getting lazy, first half when we got in the final third a couple of quick passes and we carved out an opportunity whereas from 70 mins ish onwards it was trying a hero ball instead of the quick passing from before. This could be due to tiredness though, especially when the 2nd half ticks past 11 o’clock at night and the warm up was done nearly 4 hours ago. I think refs have cottoned onto John Mcginn and his glorious behind, that’s the 2nd game in a row where he’s been hacked down countless times and not got much for it. Shout out to all the groundstaff who got the game back on, I fully expected the game to be abandoned. Delighted with 4 wins from 4 and puts us in a great position going forward.
  9. The club have used a really good photo to announce this signing. Hopefully gets a run in the team with no injuries and he can look forward to signing for Ross County this time next year
  10. Depending on your performances too you might not even get another full time gig. Scary times if you’ve kids to feed and a mortgage to pay and not considered that. Si Ferry spoke about his experience getting bombed from Dundee and no full time team would touch him. Ended up at Peterhead in league 1 and doing the nightshift at the royal mail before OG kicked off
  11. This is actually something I really want to do as my parents used to do it a lot. Anytime I think of it though I get the fear and my body goes all cold. Should really try to conquer the fear of doing it
  12. Same team as Saturday for me, felt Calum Mcgregor was uncharacteristically poor on Saturday but can’t see SC changing things too much.
  13. When the forum goes down for maintenance and I have to find other ways to pass the time at work
  14. Good going in that heat today I went for my 2nd plod on return from injury today and managed 5k but with the sweat lashing off me you’d think I’d been doing intervals think the fitness will be a while in coming back still
  15. Antiques roadshow is a contender ”This vase you were going to throw in the tip last year and have never liked is actually worth one hundred thousand pounds” “Holy f**k, you’re kidding”
  16. Think a few players in our squad could be classed as injury prone or they’ve had problems with injuries in the past. Sean Welsh has had periods out in just about every season he’s been with us, Doran’s had some horrific knee injuries in the past. Walsh like you said is made of glass and had only just got back fit after a different injury and done his knee against Partick. L We also signed King Crock himself, Lewis Toshney. I remember at Alloa away just before the lockdown he went down about 90 seconds into a game
  17. If anyones getting rid of 2 tickets feel free to message and I’ll take them off your hands
  18. I was thinking that earlier, he is undoubtedly a good player at this level. But 2 lengthy spells on the sidelines in 2 seasons isn’t a great track record. Hopefully just a coincidence rather than being inury prone.
  19. Disappointing but not unexpected tbh, can imagine we’ll see him in the Premiership next season
  20. Fellow T lovers, is there anywhere in Australia to get a pint of T? A mates currently over there doing a bit of travelling and he’s been deprived. Currently in Townsville, Queensland but think he’ll be heading for Brisbane and then Sydney soon. Any suggestions much appreciated
  21. It’s the best thing you’ve ever done thread, feel free to show off (Sure I had about 14 or 15, me and my mates kept count in our xbox live bios to show off how good we were )
