  1. Normal service yesterday. Couldnt score in a city full of brothels.
  2. Had a check after I wrote it and he did take them up as champions. Easy to miss because they were going through managers at a great rate of knots at that time. McInally, Irons, Grady, Moore , Shiels.......
  3. It is, but with thirteen games to go it's far from doomsday. Yet...
  4. As long as the referee can see his assistants , and both goals from the centre spot then it goes on. Also known as...... It's called 'fu*k the paying fans, they dont matter.
  5. He strolled this one. Off the pitch to an early bath.
  6. I am open to correction, but I cant recall many games postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Balmoor. Frost and snow ,yes.
  7. I do believe we're 'sheepshaggers'! That was the ditty sung in the social club pre match by some Falkirk supporters. Pretty rich from coming from sassenachs.
  8. It depends on how success is viewed. Considering the relative performances of past managers, Jim has done ok. A winning percentage of over 45% is ok. Two promotions .one relegation. Much better than Steve Paterson and Neale Cooper. We have become the thing I hoped we wouldn't....a yo yo club. But we're not alone there. I see no great bonus in trying something else with someone else at the helmTBH.
  9. I think that is it in a nutshell. The wind hadn't strengthened in the 2nd half, but it was a bit wetter and that was driving into the faces of the sons players. The first half , Dumbarton had really no excuse. They hadn't a clue playing with the wind. How often did they try & play the ball over the Toon defence, and the ball go dead in goal. The early goal had Dumbarton a bit flustered too. The goalie is certainly slow on the uptake!
  10. Classic case Saturday past. 4 outfield subs and a goalkeeper on the subs bench. Luckily it wasnt crucial.
  11. They train to keep fit. Curiosity has no bearing on it.
  12. Dumbarton had 45 minutes to adapt to playing with the wind. They didn't. They had another 45 minutes to adapt playing against the wind....which was more farcical than their attempts to play with the wind! The goalkeeper kept lumping the thing in the air, only for it to head back in his general direction. One or two goes and he should've had it sussed. The wind can be blamed for making it a poorer game than it may have otherwise been, but what next? Indoor football?
  13. As has been mentioned in a previous post, the Clyde fans could've been in the stand. Maybe that is where you're getting confused. Stand.
  14. Clyde fan should be ashamed of himself for being unable to stand outside. I didnt want to mention Goodwillies dive for his 99th/ 100th penalty, but you've driven me to it with your whinging. Seating & cover ffs. What next? You'll be wanting heaters to keep you warm. Lol.
  15. Indeed. It could have been. But it wasn't. Performances like that will see you back where you belong in the championship.
  16. Means nothing. Peterheads top scorer back in the early 70's... 72 iirc was a guy who went on to win 65 caps for Scotland as a defender.
  17. True. I dont know if they did pay off anyone other than match stewards and turnstile operators. Of course unless you know what the lad was getting paid by EF , and what hes getting paid by PFC there is little point in arguing about the why & wherefore. Substantial could be the difference between being paid 20 quid by EF , and 30 quid by PFC?
  18. Disgrace...bit harsh on the lad no? Decent service he has given to East Fife.. Fancied a change and is probably going to get more of a wage. The word is he increasing his wage by a fair bit....but as always with these things, it's an unsubstantiated rumour only.
  19. It would be far more apt if you'd said 'fu*k Danny Lennon and his bunch of wasters', as your predicament is all their doing.
