  1. They are close to winning something anyway. The fact that a German will put them over the line and stain it for them is pretty decent banter. 

    Although I am prepared to change my views on this depending on what Sean Dyche says. 

  2. Doak does give the ball away but tbf its not because he's positive, it's more just an experience thing for me. He sometimes picks the wrong pass in his own defensive third. Experience will teach him better passes to pick, when to launch it, when to try and buy a foul etc etc. 

    Given how much football he is suddenly playing at EFL and national level, I expect he will come on pretty quickly

    To think some people thought he was “out of sorts” and should have been dropped on Saturday. 

    I can't think of specifically a midfield pairing (forget that they are individually fantastic) like Tait and Spencer in a Falkirk jersey off the top of my head. We might have had stronger midfields where an absolute baller like Vaulks say pushed the whole thing up a level and carried others to an extent, but for understanding and rapport #Tencer* are like nothing I can think of. 

     

    *Yes I did, and i'll do it again.

    Ineos going great guns at the moment. Their cycling team have just had their worst season since Sky founded it, their sailing team is getting hammered by New Zealand in the Americas Cup and Man Utd stumble from one shambles from another. 

    Maybe Jim Radcliffe isn't the master strategist some folk think he is?

    His track record is very literally borrowing money to buy big things that already function, and slowly make them worse by underinvesting. This is not a man that builds or creates. He's a f**king parasite.

    Does he ship to the UK?

    I switched my network from 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz because the 2.4 was turning me into a fat c**t with an alcohol problem. It would be nice to have the option to switch back.

    I knew it was them.

    Even when it was the immigrants, I knew it was the corrupting signals.

    f**k that 

    Not just in terms of golf, but we're going to have to find new fun things, because by Christ we are getting priced out of all the fun things we have now.

    If the rise in popularity of the "FPL" has achieved anything, it has at least succeeded in relegating accumulator chat to the second most tedious form of football small talk.

    I'm sure theres a football da' thread that I can effortlessly segue into here, but when I see Fantasy League shit discussed on Sky Sports News, or FIFA stats used like they are in some way relevant it has me seething, and I enjoy a game of FIFA as much as the next man. 

    Nothing wrong with participating, but grown adults trying to make these things more serious than they are is a sign of the number of people who still desperately want to be children IMO

  8. Heard the rumour a few days ago, and alongside the rumour, also Raith were mentioned. Specifically that they were gutted to miss out, and Paul Smith was instrumental in getting him to us. 

    Given that the player was correct, no reason to suspect its not true that Raith weren't also wanting to sign him. 

    Showing his Uni smarts joining the #NavyBlue tbh

    When you're at a game involving the team you support and get landed near to a neutral who has to make a big song and dance about how detached they are from the whole thing. Constant comments about how shite the standard is, loudly proclaiming how their coupon/fantasy team is doing etc.

    Loud shouts about some obscure result in Germany or Belgium for their coupon is the worst.... "TOLD YOU THEY WOULD WIN THEY WERE AN ABSOLUTE BANKER DIDN'T YOU KNOW THEY'VE WON 4 OF THEIR LAST 5!?!?"

    I think we’ve also seen enough from Ethan Ross when he’s fully fit and flying to offer the guy a new deal btw. Ken our wingers are probably our strongest area of the pitch but he does offer something different to the others with just how direct he is.

    He's certainly upped his levels in terms of final product this season

  11. I don't wear colours

    I usually drive. I don't particularly WANT to, or at least sometimes I don't want to, but I find myself often faced with either that or don't attend. 

    Emotion gets the better of me in the heat of the moment, i'd say i'm pretty much how @Dons_1988 described himself because I don't take it home with me and can analyse the match after with a clear head for the most part.

    I'll join in with the signing in a sort of muted way. I'm sure no kids/pissed/in amongst it on a terrace i'd be a bit more animated but thats just not the way it usually is for me at this point. 

    I do think there's still an absolute caveman instinct inside us that football has the power to bring out. I'll give a specific example. I was stood a few yards from Matty Aitken who I felt dived to win a penalty v us for Stenny a few weeks back. I felt an incredible urge to launch the capri sun I was holding for the wean directly at his head for this perceived slight. I didn't, because that's not something I would do. But my chimp mind wanted him capri-sunned.

    There are some moon howlers in our support. If we're not a goal up within 10 minutes they're on the player's backs, screaming about a misplaced pass or a run not made. I've heard Tait, Spencer, Oliver, Donaldson and Mackie get dog's abuse from the KM7 this season.

     

    I'd say the vast majority of the fans have learned to be patient and to trust the manager and players. Even if we go a goal down, most don't panic and get behind the team. Those that don't clearly don't understand football and are absolutely desperate to flaunt their ignorance. 

    "STOAP GITTERIN ABOOT AT THE BACK!!!!!"
