All Activity

I still find it hard to believe, that despite spending a fortune on employing the folk sitting at the top table, at the AGM, that the prick Stewart Milne, still hangs around our club like a bad smell.

Rose Royce - Wishing On a Star.

Ah'll admit ... Ah was pretty much in favour o' VAR bein' introduced .... and ower the course o' it's implementation, Ah've generally swung in favour. But o' late? .... well, Ah'm noo swingin' the opposite wye. Was Ah wrang fae the start? .... hmm .. lets see. It's nae the delay (which is nae ideal), and it's nae the negative effect on the game's momentum (which is nae good), but the fact that wrang decisions are still bein made .... re. critical, game changin' passages o' play. Noo, pardon ma stupidity (or dinna ... see if Ah care) ... but, is it nae the case that it's purpose, and justification for the money spent, was tae ensure correct decisions were made in the interest o' fairness? ... nae tae mention the idea that, wi cameras at every angle, players would respond by bein' mair mindful o' their conduct? On the second point, VAR is, by way o' the evidence, a failure. As far as the concept, and the money spent is concerned ... was it ever a good idea tae for the 'VAR man' tae be a referee? ... Lets face it ... if we went tae a system where we had two refs on the pitch, we would still hae delays while they argued an' pondered ower decisions ... and both would be bastards whatever they agreed/disagreed aboot A referee wi' one viewpoint, bein' advised by a ref wi' various viewpoints, on paper, is a good idea ... but ... A referee, traditionally, is free tae exercise discretion. Even if two refs see the exact same action, it is natural they will disagree ... an' that's fine - except - the guy charged wi' runnin 5 miles in 90 minutes tae keep up wi the play, whilst takin (deserved) crap fae players an fans alike, bows tae the 'guy wi the eyes' .... which stifles any notion o' him havin the right tae exercise discretion. The St Mirren pen decision is a prime example. ( Ah'll nae break it doon) In conclusion, Ah'd be 'happier' a pen bein given against us, or a pen for us bein' denied on the grounds the ref didna get a right good look in the moment ... than what we are seein' way too frequently - even wi' such grand technology and expense .... at the end o' the day, it's still a ref fa maks the call. Which begs the question ... How many refs does it tak tae change a lightbulb?? ... Only one - if he's got his fkn specs on!! Onywye, dinna mind me ... Ah dinna get tae games these days ... Ah watch on the laptop ... an' if there's a 5 minute VAR check, Ah can mak a cup o' tea, maybe micro a sassidge roll, put the bins oot etc an' come back an' see fit's fit .... Ah'm nae sittin in the cauld on a day o' pishin rain wonderin 'fit the fuck Ah'm Ah daein here?" Rant over

Im surprised they have rules

While they're munchin' the legs aff amphibians, They wear necklaces made oot o' ingins There'll be be nae Laissez-faire When we kick derriere An' show them the road tae oblivion.

Yaaas asparagus and Latin. Bet you don’t get that on YamsTalk

Point of order, does not fall under the remit ‘stuff’, as already being discussed in the Cremola Foam Dome thread.

Very sketchy report in the Pish & Jism today, concentrating on The Mannie With The Armitage Shanks Smile and Burrows meeting with Cooncillors Yuill and Allard* on Friday to discuss the issues preventing the Cremola Foam Dome being realised as a joint aspiration. Cormack is apparently encouraging fans to vote in the cooncil elections in May 27 with Pittodrie 2 in mind. I’ll just put my ham-fisted X down for the Workers’ Revolutionary Party as usual. No penguins reported onstage, nor among the biscuit offering with the usually-bowfin post-meeting refreshments. *not to be confused with the Miners’ strike scab bastards Yuill and Dodds

Carole King - Up On The Roof

No first hand accounts of the AGM?

Orange Juice - Rip it up

Strasbourg is the home of asparagus Which is soft, white and bland - rather like us But wait, that’s not true We’ve scored 6 in 2 We’re bound to win ceteris paribus

Is anyone even remotely surprised that they have broken their own rules crawling to the orange fascist?

Let's transition energy to a football stadium then.

Could we not organise a mass poll of fans - someone with a phone at every turnstile in the top flight with a simple yes/no question “Should we abolish VAR?”. Wouldn’t be too hard to organise.

Funny, I nearly linked to a Sarah Jarosz song on the other thread. Went to see her live a year or so back in a small venue near Kings Cross. Not my definition of drivel!

Cracking copy of U2 track

I like that song,and her,but I would have called that middle aged drivel 20 years ago

Woh hud on a minute there. Sarah Jarosz is many things BUT drivel is not one of them

Shell site now in hands of Scottish Enterprise, being marketed as part of the Energy Transition Zone.

Never though Id be listening to drivel like this 20 years ago,but here we are. Sarah Jarosz -

Violent Femmes - Add It Up

I was thinking the site at the old Shell building on Wellington Road, could be a decent site for it. No idea if it is big enough I think Shell offerred it to the Council for development
