Aim Here

Begging for a penalty shouldn't be a last resort in the dying stages of a losing game. You should set out trying to scam a penalty or a red card from kick off. Tactical fail by Rodgers.

Narrator: It didn't last

Working as intended.

If it's the green, black and white one, it's the CCS flag, designed for maximum riling of both halves of the Old Firm.

Not consciously. I did spot some errors on June 11th which was only 2 months ago, and some of these errors seem to have crept in immediately after (Cormac McCarthy, D.M. Thomas).

For an ST holder, his chance would be as good as anyone outside the 500 'Hibs first' guys, and they're not that bad. If the away ticket allocation is what GreenGray says it is, I can't imagine the demand for an awayday in Birmingham is higher than that for a Tynecastle Derby with roughly similar ticket counts, and I've never failed to get a ticket for that whenever I've remembered to queue up for the ticket site in time. I'm not sure how easy it would be for a random St Johnstone fan to accompany him, though!

I think I've spotted a few errors. Savage Henry should be on 169, not 159 (arithmetic error) pawpar should be on 87, not 97 (arithmetic error) Miguel Sanchez (!) should be on 209 not 109 (arithmetic error. Something's going wrong with the tens column on your abacus!) Thomcat should be on a lofty 239 not 115 (D.M. Thomas died and left an obituary at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/29/dm-thomas-obituary ) Also the #19 and #20 places on the table are the wrong way round, confusingly!

A 960 position with a queen and rook starting off in the corner, and AH13STU neglected to develop them; they were still trapped in the corner with my queen pointing all sorts of checkmate threats at his king. AimHere beats AH13STU by resignation

Out of interest, I decided to check out the current roster of zero-pointers to find out, on the basis of age, whose team was the least likely to have not scored yet. You came out on top Zero-pointer Average age of pick TxRover 82.80 Bold Rover 82.00 Eednud 81.33 Sergeant Wilson 80.00 HibsFan 79.47 Duszek 77.67 Helpma 77.20 Curmudgeon 75.73 nessies long lost ghost 75.20 101 72.13 rowsdower 71.67 shivute 71.67 btb 71.33 thisal 70.53 Raven 70.00 Les Cabbage 69.53 ayrunitedfw 69.47 El Guapo 68.93 gingette 67.93 mathematics 66.67 SanStarko 66.20 Richey Edwards 65.73 Bazz891 65.67 Polarbear 64.53 invergowrie arab 63.27

Back on topic, I would like to take the opportunity on behalf of Hibernian, the inventors of European football, to comiserate the Jambos on their unlucky result this evening. Not every team is cut out for European glory.

London-born Harry McKirdy seems to have emigrated to Scotland, according to the BBC. I suspect he's in as little danger of getting called up by Steve Clarke as he is by Gareth Southgate.

Nobody can catch you now, you're safe.

Congratulations to @Ziggy and apologies to the rest of Division B for having to throw him in with you guys, but if it's a consolation, most of you are not likely to be up against him again for a while! The_kid1433 / @the tungston weasel comes in second and is also assured of top-tier chess next season, and @arab_joe will have a chance with some sort of playoff next season. Even at the bottom end of the league, there wasn't an outright whipping boy in the league and both recipients of the joint wooden spoon managed to score 5 wins apiece; I'm always happy to see that everybody in the league is able to put up a fight at least some of the time. Thanks to all competitors for a smoothly run league and for getting your results in relatively quickly and I'll look forward to getting the next season in soon.

That's got to be one of the most applicable post content / user signature combinations in the history of P&B.

The 3rd choice keeper was better than Marshall on today's evidence. That Andorran goal didn't look like it was his fault, and he did keep out the own goal attempt pretty well.

Sinead o' Connor was on record saying one of the things keeping her from committing suicide was the thought of that c**t Bono delivering a funeral oration.
