    Would you prefer they skipped to the later incarnations where Captain Marvel is a bloke?
  3. Tyrant and Lencarl bow out (for now). With at least 3 home games from the final 8 Rocket and Jute may have called it right. Top 6 assured though thanks to Motherwell losing. 83 82 - DownSouthDon 81 80 79 - EdmontonDandy 78 - Tyrant 77 - OxfordDon 76 - Elgindon 75 - Lencarl 74 - Rico 73 - wee toon red 72 - Tom_W 71 - Ten Caat 70 - Manc 69 - BigAl 68 - MBT 67 - DantheDon 66 - kennyfuckinpowers 65 - Jute 64 63 62 61 - rocket 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52
  4. Found it slightly surreal driving it today and wasn't going to bother until the signs at Stonehaven suggested it was better for ARI. The slip road at Stonehaven seems like it was an after thought (is this perhaps leftover from the old road layout) but then it was like the footage of when the M1 or M6 first opened. Mile after mile with little or no other cars on either side and little or no sliproads - plenty of emergency laybys tough one of which had speed camera van. The sliproad for Kingswells/ Westhill/ ARI was well signposted but the way it has been constructed I thought I was pulling onto the hard shoulder. Took a detour to see how Kingsford was getting on and had there not been any traffic I may have been done for speeding as last time I drove that road it was a 60mph race track. I probably should use it tomorrow on the way home but part of me wants to see if there is a visible impact on the Brig'o'dee traffic although sunday afternoon/ evening won't really be a good test case. Have any Aberdeen residents noted a reduction in the rushhour gridlock on great southern road during the week or is it still best to avoid it between 430 & 7pm on weekdays?
  5. OxfordDon crashes out but Tyrant lives to fight another day 83 82 - DownSouthDon 81 80 79 - EdmontonDandy 78 - Tyrant 77 - OxfordDon 76 - Elgindon 75 - Lencarl 74 - Rico 73 - wee toon red 72 - Tom_W 71 - Ten Caat 70 - Manc 69 - BigAl 68 - MBT 67 - DantheDon 66 - kennyfuckinpowers 65 - Jute 64 63 62 61 - rocket 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 (Top 6 Place guaranteed - yay no relegation!) 52 51
  6. Have to admit how pleased I am to see both Real Madrid and PSG dumped out of europe. PSG in particular given some of the shite being spouted after they won 2-0 at Old Trafford.
  7. Not quite sure how it can be classed as exploiting things. Your teams player stood in the goalmouth completely behind the goalline potentially ends up blocking a shot by their teammate and is now not in a position to have a shot/ header themselves. If they foul or obstruct the goalie its still a foul however by standing 'off the field' they themselves could be blocked in taking them away from the attack and any effort to free themselves from their goalmouth prison would probably result in a freekick to the opposition. Bolton's tactic under allardyce of having a player stood in an offside position as a distraction before a set piece relied on that player being able to run back onside or get out of the way. But its only a theory. i don't know the laws of the game (especially this season)
  8. I believe by standing in the goal (completely behind the goal-line) he would have been classed as 'off the field' and therefore not involved in play. Essentially the same as if he was stood behind the by-line by the advertising boards. Had one of his feet been over the goal-line on the pitch he would have been offside

    Thouroughly enjoyed 'Fighting with my family' Stephen Merchant did a good job promoting it on 'the last leg' last friday as I believe it is No.1 at the UK Box office
  10. Luke Perry (52) Suffered a stroke last wednesdsay and died today.
  11. Yep but 79 points is no longer possible 10wins = 30 points 9wins + draw = 28points
  12. Judicial review decision supposedly being published tomorrow at Noon
  13. Our resident Canadian Oiler follows DownSouthDon With the next league game being an away match at the Tic Tyrant's position is looking ropey 83 82 - DownSouthDon 81 80 79 - EdmontonDandy 78 - Tyrant 77 - OxfordDon 76 - Elgindon 75 - Lencarl 74 - Rico 73 - wee toon red 72 - Tom_W 71 - Ten Caat 70 - Manc 69 - BigAl 68 - MBT 67 - DantheDon 66 - kennyfuckinpowers 65 - Jute 64 63 62 61 - rocket 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 (Top 6 Place guaranteed - yay no relegation!) 53 52 51 50
  14. Greg Halford in to replace him? Appears he hasn't played since last season https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Halford https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/loneliness-jobless-footballer-what-happened-15313506
  15. First elimination of the season.

  16. Mark Thomas - CHECK UP OUR NHS @ 70 April at the Glasgow Tron
  17. Caledonian Stadium, Inverness Wonder if they are trying to 'help' a Scottish team' to win it, especially given there are no trains between Inverness and Perth that weekend
  18. Just seen the replay of the Killie Goalie's red card. May as well just hand Sevco the trophy and get it over with

    So hollywood has decided its time to remake 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson taking the Michael Caine & Steve Martin Roles Comparison 1988 2019
  20. Was it like his 'spat' with Paxman on Election night 2005?
  21. Goal and red card for Brown. I presume the second yellow ill be for jumping into the Tic fans behind the goal?
  22. Connah's Quay Nomads just got through to the Irn Bru Cup Final with Ross County. I wonder where the final of this 'frankenstein's creature' of a tournament will be held (Palmerston?)
  23. Not one of the quater finals has a 3pm Saturday kick off Sat 2nd March - 17:15 Hibs Vs Tic Sun 3rd March - 13:30 Dons vs Sevco Sun 3rd March - 15:30 Arabs Vs (Caley or County) Mon 4th March - 19:05 Thistle vs Jambos
  24. I'd like to think Ferguson's Dad & Uncle will pay a visit to McGregor's house and 'have words'
  25. Saw that story and personally object to the 'cheating the taxman' angle. Finally marrying your partner of 40years 2 days before you peg it so she actually inherits your estate rather than losing 40% to the Government is not 'cheating the taxman'
