Mrs Slasher forced me to go to an Abba tribute the other week and I was also coerced into Mama Mia the stage show! Thats plenty!

Hotels in Düsseldorf are eye wateringly expensive at the moment. Anyone know of somewhere in the vicinity that might be a bit more reasonable?

Fabulous draw! I’ve applied again through the UEFA website but I’ve 12 points so should be ok. We’re certainly going to be travelling around a bit. Cannae wait! As Faddy said bring it on!

Haha! You’ve definitely got more money than sense! Fair play Redz, enjoy! 🍺

I can’t decide whether the fans who have gone over there have more money than sense or deserve a medal! Fuck that! 😂

Thank fuck that’s over! Failure to prepare = prepare to fail. Well done to our plc board though. It fills me with pride to be able to go into work and tell everyone all about how we are totally winning the balance sheet cup cos that’s what really matters isn’t it 👍

Good stuff, sounds promising 👍

We are halfway through season 1 of Kin on iplayer, very good so far 👍 Irvine Welsh’s Crime was a mixed bag for me. Some good moments of humour and a decent cast but I did get fed up with scenes of Dougray Scott in tears looking as though he was trying to push out a mahoosive jobby! Mrs S liked it though so we stuck with it until it’s inevitable conclusion.

Saw it more clearly on the tv news last night. Lammers has a little look over his shoulder then deliberately blocks the Aberdeen player. No penalty should have been the decision. You can only assume either Walsh hasn’t seen it or doesn’t think it’s relevant. Either way he’s called it wrong.

A lot of people seem to think it is controversial under current rules (see DS’s post at the top of the page). Anyway as I said for me it was borderline. If it was given against my team I’d be more pissed at the defender doing the jersey tugging than the officials but that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Come on Ed a still image proves next to nothing. That said, I do think yesterday’s incident was borderline. If they are saying Goldson was likely to have got on the end of that cross it’s a very generous take imo. The one where the kid (that looks like the blond weirdo out of the Office) takes a dive at Livingston was miles worse, actually scandalous a penalty was given for that!

What’s happening with the new stadium? I’ll need to try and get over for a game while they’re at Hamilton. 👍

I was at a Clyde v Aberdeen game around that time although I could have sworn it was a pre season friendly so maybe no the same one. I can remember the casuals making a grand entrance just after the game kicked off looking as though they were just off the golf course 😂 Anyway the most notable thing I remember other than that was a remarkable incident at half time. As the players were heading into the tunnel a Clyde fan spat his chewing gum out and whether intentionally or not he hit the big Aberdeen centre half who proceeded to go absolutely tonto. He tried to pull the young guy over the wall to punch fuck out of him. It took 3 or 4 other players to pull him off but not before he’d landed a few belters! The young Clyde fan was then spirited away whilst everyone else tried to calm things down. It’s one of the maddest things I’ve ever seen at the football and yet I can remember scanning the papers the next day and there was no mention of it, all hushed up it seems. I’m sure the player in question was Willie Garner and the big mad bastard ended up at Celtic for a season or so but I don’t remember him playing much. I don’t remember anything about the game at all but Shawfield was some laugh back in the day 😂

A result that doesn’t do much for either side as the huns bottle the chance to narrow the gap and the sheep remain rooted at the wrong end of the table. Did Cantwell get a yellow for that outrageous dive by the way? I’ve only seen clips on Twitter (X) but he really is the most contemptible cheat! We were a fuckin brutal watch yesterday! We need to chop out the dead wood and get some quality in when January comes.

There are little mini breakdowns in society happening all over the place and it’s only going to get worse as far as I can see. One of my mates is just back from working in Germany for a couple of months. He reckons some of the TA who haven’t been to the country in a while might be a bit shocked by what they find in some places.

This is just not accurate I’m afraid VA. There is no tossing of a coin as you put it. The FA in conjunction with the Met will agree a security plan for the FA cup final which will encompass allocations and and decide which end of the ground. They also give 10% of tickets to affiliated coaches and clubs and another 10% possibly more go to corporate. I’ve no idea how they allocate dressing rooms nor do I have any interest but the sensible thing would be to give them the side their fans are on. It was only recently that they actually looked to increase competing club’s allocations and clubs used to get even less. So, to sum up , you’d probably be even worse off under the English system 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi Jim. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them and no of course I don’t think that is fair. No reasonable person would. However you did mention Police Scotland’s involvement and I think we can all agree that they do as little as possible to facilitate a good match day experience for fans. Listen, I’m not bothered about the whole ‘ends’ thing. It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if we were moved to the west to accommodate a support from Edinburgh or wherever, even though logistically I would be coming from the same side of the country. What I would say about it is that if you walked into one of the committee rooms at Hampden with a list of grievances and that and something about dressing rooms is at the top of your list, then you’re not thinking things through properly and I doubt you would be taken seriously. It comes across as petty and given that some seem to think that the history of it is now irrelevant the debate seems pretty selective in some quarters. There are far more important issues that all the clubs could be addressing imo and yet this is constantly trotted out as a major factor. The vitriol that is beginning to seep out in the thread is not lost on me either so given that I don’t even have a dog in this particular fight I’ll probably check out of this one from now on. Anyway, thanks for asking a question rather than just having a pop as others do 👍 PS edit to add to Mr Haggis Trap if you read the thread back I have already said Aberdeen have a legitimate complaint here 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think we’ve reached our threshold of causes to fight for for this season 😉 To be fair that was in my top 3 of naps I’ve had this year! Well done to all involved 😂

Thanks lads, I’ve had a great nap this afternoon after reading these! 😃

The grievance junky’s have finally arrived 👏 Yeah, let’s make them change ends! Radical! Or, let’s make us financially liable for tickets we don’t sell! Wtf🙄 You cunts are mental. The best advert any plc board could have against any fan involvement is right here! Congrats!👏

I also agree with a lot of that apart from the bit about the games being meaningless competitive ones. We could have squeaked into pot 2 tonight which would have been well worth the effort. On Shankland, he’s definitely going to get the chance in pre Euro friendlies and so will Ferguson and deservedly so. Doig is so far down the pecking order it’s barely worth talking about. On Doak, I know how desperate Celtic were to keep him but how big a step is it from Liverpool youth team to the Euros? He’s literally made one appearance this season, talk of him even being in the squad unless that changes is ridiculous!

I don’t know but I trust the manager. I think he’s earned that. You clearly don’t. That’s not to say he can’t be questioned but players who haven’t played or been tested are always better in fans eyes till you see them. Unlike us, the manager gets to see them in training and clearly he didn’t fancy Doig from the start or off the bench 🤷🏼‍♂️

Taylor is our 4th choice left back.

I don’t agree with that at all 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m not quite sure why the manager didn’t give a start to either Shankland or Ferguson. I’m left assuming he’s still not seeing enough value in them. Other than that I’m left thinking Armstrong is a much better option than Christie and Patterson/Taylor at full back will get ye hung! McKenna, I think has played well for us recently, I hope he’s looking for a loan move in January 👍
