  1. As much as it is entertaining that Middlesborough have equalised, it only adds to my lack of understanding of the current handball rules? Suggestion from commentators is had the boy who handballed it scored, it would have been disallowed, but because he fluffed the shot and his teammate put it in, the goal stands

    Went to see 'Licorice Pizza' last weekend. Peaked my interest as it had less chance of NEDS showing up to see it plus its same director as 'Punch Drunk Love' Thought it was very good. Great soundtrack too

  6. Annan away eh? Those evil football governing bodies. I bet they even force SEVCO to only have to travel to say Palmerston or WORSE Fir Park the evil bastards
  7. Devolved nations have their own plans. Bug bear of mine is seeing the national and international press using the term UK for something on happening in England. Believe there is a record of someone in the tory cabinet stating the pandemic was 'an opportunity' and not in the sense of 'we can use this to learn from our mistake of scrapping the pandemic response teams we have spent millions on for the last decade and revolutionise the health system so it is well funded, well supported etc'. More 'we can make a killing here in more ways than one' Tories are on the ropes and even the Daily Mail is on their backs now they wont cut VAT on heating bills, despite it being pretty much the only 'promise' about brexit they can keep. The irony being it was the tory goverment of the 1990s who introduced it in the first place Suddenly lifting all the restricitons when there are still more than 50000 cases a day (and thats with a shortage a testing equipment) is them trying to appease a public that has turned on them. Given a chance the tories would have adopted the Belarus model and had little or no restrictions from the beginning, and if you happened to die, or suffer long term illness....well it would be because you were stupid because only stupid people get sick, or die in fires etc Nearly 12 years of this shite and come the next election the same fuckwits will go and vote for them again while on the opposite side, the same fuckwits wont bother to vote at all and the cycle continues. I fully expect to see the rest of the world adapting to live with covid, whilst the GB still under tory rule remains a plague island.
  8. By UK are you refering to the tories attempting to distract from their civil war by removing all restrictions in England? Smacks to me of a general defending the castle telling their soldiers to stand down as most of the attackers seem to have been killed
  9. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59974018 What price something like this happening with SEVCO in a few years?

  11. The Antiperspirant's nightmare is going to court....unless he succeeds in buying his victims silence. Seems an Alpine Chalet is also now on the market.
  12. Might be the player to run circles around his marker and give the opposition hell
  13. Nadir Ciftci comes back to Scotland this time with St Johnstone
  14. Curse of all ex Don's managers since Ferguson left?
  15. Murdoch's minions suggesting McInnes will be taking over at Killie
  16. Odds slashed if she gets a plea bargain based on naming names. Those that can sweat might be looking for a shower or two
  17. Bobby Maxwell's baby girl just been convicted.
  18. Wouldnt be surprised if quite a few Derby players were getting pre-contracts arranged to jump ship before the administrators/ liquidators move in.
  19. I'd cut the South stand some slack given it is still an old terrace that was adapted using 1980s technology. The idea as I see it was to provide just enough roof to be able to claim it was covered and things such as accoustics were not on the design brief. Having a roof that slopes towards the pitch doesn't automatically make for good acoustics. It may seem loud to those around the people making the noise but fans at the other end may hear nothing. Ive not been to Pittodrie for 5 years so have no idea how the Merkland sounds now the family section has been moved but I remember the RDS seeming very loud when in the upper tier but quite distant when sat in section Y. Same goes for how the shed sounds when yer unfortunate enough to have only been able to get a ticket for the Jerry Kerr or worse the main stand at tannadice. Accoustic design is a specialist subject which I suspect is one of the first things to be removed when the stadium budget is tight. As I see it 'atmosphere' at a football match often clashes with the 'family entertainment' marketing clubs are still sticking with. Plus Dons home fans are right miserable bastards even in the good times
  20. I'd like to think the stadium designer won't be copying Parkhead
  21. Knew i should have said modern.... and then I thought of where I had seen one. Lovely drainage ducts going into the mountain
  22. Ups the size and price of the steelwork as the water and snowloads will be increased plus it would be a drainage and maintainance nightmare. If you can find a stadium with a roof that tapers towards the pitch Ill be very surprised.
