King Kebab Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Even Miss Hoolie couldn't save Mick's scenes, why are they persisting with this character??? A couple of good belly laughs at Winston and Navid, but a fair few other good guffaws as well, Boabies warm-up, Isa's wonder save behind the bar, Jack getting a drink of water from Boabie, but if more scenes were given to the gang rather than Mick it would have been better, not as bad as Citizen Kahn or OAE but definitely the weakest one of the series so far!!! Two questions, the old boy from the Claymore Bar team who did the talking, that was TV John wasn't it and where are those steps they ran up, think I've actually been up them but can't remember where they are??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He adds nothing to the show and tonight's episode could easily have been aired without his scenes and nobody would have noticed. Added nothing to the actual storyline itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Heart attack of Midlothian and Stroke City made me chuckle. Winston hasn’t lost it. Jack and Victor seem a bit tamer this season though...How old’s Tam’s baby now? And where’s his librarian wife? Oh aye and I was genuinely waiting on mick saying “whaur’s the burds?” At some point. Gringey pish, get him punted.. Edited March 22, 2018 by Wardy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Was pretty brutal tonight. Whilst his appearance did have me laughing, it seemed rather odd that after eight series Navid all of a sudden was being quoted as a hardman. As some have said on here, maybe it is because there was such a gap between the sixth and seventh series we're being a tad dramatic regarding how good it is/was but I have noticed little things are starting to bug me now. Boaby being the only member of staff in a boozer was a lot more noticeable tonight, along with a group of Glaswegian pensioners having no idea who Don Revie was, irked me a lot more than it should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Really really poor tonight. Only laugh for me was when the walking Football was being explained to J&V. It for people who can’t run around anymore but are still competitive. Isn’t that dominoes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Time goes by but the characters don't age is the whole point of Still Game no? Tam's kid will still be an infant. Jack & Victor should be almost 90 but they're stuck at 72 & 74 (or similar). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid-back Accie Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The most disappointing part of that episode for me was when they were naming the team, I was really hoping Tam was going to say Tamilton Accies 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Winston was funny in that episode and Navid's challenge, but apart from that it was awful. Methadone Mic is a truly shite character, he ruins episodes. Get him tae f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I found the Rocky scene the funniest bit. Watching Winston struggling to climb the steps cracked me up. A poor episode overall though. I hope that's the only episode in the series that Methadone Mick has a major part in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I've enjoyed the series a lot more than I thought, but that was absolutely cringe worthy. Horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 As mentioned numerous times above the only funny parts came from Navid (on screen for about 6 seconds) and Winston. The stair montage was fantastic and his leg being sent flying had me chuckling. Also the team naming was well done but other than that I felt the writing was poor. Jack & Victor are also much more reserved - in the other pub when they were picking a time I was just waiting on a "oh for fu" from Victor but it never came However they really need to get rid of Methadone Mick. He's an awful character - I don't get what's funny about him? The whole interview scenes I just staring at the screen in disbelief. A junkie on his knees pretending to be a dog lifting his leg to pish against a chair - what sort of braindead idiot finds that funny? They could have skipped that whole scene and just made him the mascot and none of us would have batted an eyelid. Hell you could have just had him answering the questions badly and then revealing he was the only applicant without him having to fanny about sniffing the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Literally could’ve included Methadone mick at the start speaking to boaby and ended it there. Then at the end after they won, have him do that dug shagging thing and the head fall off. I could’ve accepted Mick having that. None of this interview rubbish, or his parts on the sideline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The worrying thing is that Twitter is full of people gushing that Methadone Mick is hilarious and that was one of the best Still Games ever! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably more people saying they hated the episode though and that they wish Mick wouldn't be seen again. Agreed though there are a worrying number of people who think Mick is the star of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Winston lifting his shirt over his head after scoring had me in stitches. More so cause its something you know his character would do rather than the act itself. He carried that episode last night and has been brilliant in the other 2 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 All of the football scenes were pish. Chuckle Brother nonsense. That part is the most disappointing for me as the whole walking football idea had potential to be brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
