They've obviously been watching the French civil war and are worried about the same thing happening here.

Fine by me 😉

Not sure that’s what Utd will do. They have looked more like a counter attacking side this season. They’ve got some pace in transition although not a load of quality. This could be two teams fighting to not have the ball. Really important we don’t leave acres of space in behind our FBs. Especially Obi-Wan who was caught out several times by a shite StM side.

If he wins the league cup, does he become the first manager in Scotland to win trophies in back-to-back seasons for two different clubs? And then how does history judge him? The last manager (I think, I'm basically making stats up as I go along here) to win major trophies with two different clubs in Scotland would be Alex Smith? Who did it with the same two clubs Robinson could do it with. And then he got sacked.

The new start in our work yesterday was talking about Britains two tier justice system It’s great to know she’s a complete fud straight off the bat

Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman

3 overage players, over age being 21 before tournament starts, allowed in the team.

In theory, away games should suit us since the manager is more used to counter attack football. Utd being at home should be looking to come at us and maybe we can exploit that. I say a repeat of Motherwell away is on the cards.

Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman

Jimi Hendrix - Lover Man

I too went to see 'Heart of the Beast' last week, at Braehead Odeon. That was an interesting bus journey out to it. Film was decent. I usually find Brad Pitt films a decent enough watch and this one didn't disappoint. Quite like the look of the 'I am Rocky' film.

I’m convinced Robinson was the stabilise on the cheap for a season or so option. He was undoubtedly a panic appointment to stop us from potentially falling through the trapdoor. DC will also have known he couldn’t splash as much money and so needed someone who could calm the waters without spending a ton. His limitations are clear and have been set out in previous posts. The big question is, how long do we have to endure? If he takes us to the final then he probably gets the season unless we are at risk of the drop. Mouloua might just save his skin.

Roxy Music - Over You

Hard to see YT progressing through that unless we play a batch of first team wannabes. How many are you allowed of those?

The Beatles - Till There Was You

Maybe recent ‘trouble’ there has put off some families with young kids? (Clutching) Utd have cut out allocation too after various lobbing incidents but that doesn’t explain why we aren’t now seeing a frantic scramble to fill the limited areas we are given. Ok, ok… it’s Robinson isn’t it. I’m heading up but going to drive as it’s not even a good day out anymore, none of my usual crowd are even bothering (Jute, I’m looking at you 👀).

Nope. If anyone in any of mine harbours such thoughts then they certainly don't express them. Presumably because they know they'll be shot down pretty quickly by the majority.

Don Williams - Till The Rivers All Run Dry

Do anyone elses whatsapp group chats turn surprisingly right wing? Looking back at one of my family chats last night and I see phrases such as 'invasion', 'colonised by them', 'true brits having to pay for them' and that's just my mum 😂 I'm joking about mum of course, she's a sweet old lady. She even puts plastic tubs and tins through the dishwasher before putting them in recycling.

I've been done by Odeon, they lured me in to join 'Unlimited' by putting out a few decent films this month. I joined up but it's a 3 month minimum term. Just checked and there doesn't seem to be anything worth watching out until Dune 3 in the middle of December. I might have to go and watch the new Ali G film just to make use of the membership. Heart of the Beast with Bradley Pitt and a canine cast member, really good. Loved the scenery and the shots of the small plane with the backdrop of the huge mountain ranges. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the dog is fine in the end, I had to make sure before I went to see it. As for Pitts character..... well that would be spoiling. I rated the first few Resident Evil movies back in the day. The newest one was ok but seemed to run out of plot really quick and did that thing that so many sequels seem to do these days and tried to squeeze in too much laughs out of the audience. Make it a horror not a comedy. Pretty disapointing.

Bloody TV companies.

Shite kick off times. Who the fuck puts a game on at 3pm on a Saturday?

Following on from the ticket chat in the semi-final thread. There was once a time when we'd sell 5500 no problem for Tannadice. Even in recent years when we haven't had the shed, was a real rush to get tickets. For this one though, the lower deck of the fair play stand isn't on sale and neither is the Jerry Kerr, so the only parts on sale are the highlighted bits (except centre of shed which is sold out). It is still a good away support, but what used to be the best away day of the season has diminished somewhat. Ticket prices? Boring team? Poor recent record there?

Somewhere between 9,000 and 10,000 it looks like. Not official numbers, just a general guess since the initial allocation was 17,000 and we have seven sections not on sale and 871 tickets left from the sections that are on sale. I think that's a great away support personally, considering the cost, distance, lack of public transport options, current performances, and the club putting little effort in to actually try and galvanise the support into going. Sometimes the smaller the support the better the atmosphere is though. The 3-3 draw with Celtic - we had 7,000 at that one and the Aberdeen end was brilliant that day.

Robinson isn’t exactly box office. We’ll do well to top 10,000
