Lets hope that his Lordship doesn't "rubber" ear this appeal I for one would be left feeling "deflated" if he did

Well that was a doing yesterday. I've had a feeling that that was coming for a while now. Don't know how, just had a gut feeling about it, and thought it might have happened last weekend. Strange kind of game. Given a penalty that looked extremely soft, then not given one that looked more like a pen. Didn't agree with Robson taking it, Rooney is high on confidence, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So into second half and we should have been ahead within first couple of minutes. Even when we went two down, I though a quick goal and we could still get back into the game. Rooney duely obliged, but once their third went in, it was game over for us, and we frankly looked liked a team that had never played together before. Lyle Taylor bullied Anderson and Reynolds and on another day could have had four or five. Ach well, lets hope it was just a bad day at the office, and lets move on.

We were going to go and see Monument Men last night, but have just read/heard one too many bad reviews about it so we gave it a miss. Watched Dallas Buyers Club instead. Wasn't really sure what to expect to be hnoest, but got to say thoroughly enjoyed it, with excellent perfomances from the three main characters played by Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Jared Leto.

Keep up missus Let me know what you thought of it.

Agreed, which at the end of the day made the three points all the sweeter

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lennox-Craig-Russell/dp/1847249671/ref=pd_cp_b_2 Absolutely superb, great find. Wasn't aware of this series of books, of which "Lennox" is number one in a collection. Set in post WW2, Glasgow of the early 50's, I can't help but think there is a TV mini series in here somewhere. Got shit loads of time on my hands these days, so after finishing the first, got the other three for the kindle and rattled through them pdq. Funster, strongly recommend for you, as just the sort of thing I believe you liike reading mate P.S Make sure you read in correct order

Hope for Flood's international aspirations, he wasn't watched this Saturday past. Honking, probably best sums up his performance

Text received....order in Flights booked for my younger son coming home from Uni in Holland for a long weekend

http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=265152&st=20 Sorry guys to sully our fine board with filth like this, but this was sent to me, and for entertainment value I felt I simply must share with you. Comment 24 is the one......

Yes indeed I do and several others like it if I'm honest. There are two types of awful football matches, and to be honest I'm not sure everyone is going to buy into this. Firstly where both teams are absolutely shite...yesterday fell into that category, neither team could string more than about three/four passes together. Secondly you get games where the team you support get a doing, because they are shite, and the other team play well, no matter how much you wish they hadn't, and that is the category into which a 4-0 defeat @ Rugby Park falls.... And on that basis, yesterday's game is one of the worst I can remember ever attending

key word is REMEMBER Trust me however, today was fucking awful

Turgid Worst game I can remember ever being at......

Disagree regarding the size of the Dons support. Glasgow last Sat, Edinburgh two weeks ago, Paisley this weekend, Glasgow next weekend....got a feeling this is the one that might suffer.

In/Oot: IN Prematch: Driving Match: Away End Postmatch: Pick up the missus @ Braehead Prediction: Reality check....1-1 I'm afraid (Hayes)

Aw diddums...... well known shrinking violet that Keane

Will Ramon be tweeting his disgust and horror at this latest episode For the avoidance of any doubt, no answer is required

BBQ on day of tie I assume Dave

Decent enough draw, so not complaining, however interesting that assuming ICT put out Stranraer, nice to see the then two lowest remaining teams draw one another

Couldn't care less who we get or don't get in the quarters, although given two away draws already in Glasgow, you could see a third successive one coming out of the hat this afternoon. Opened this thread with comment about Collum, so in coldl ight of day with sober head, actually going to go on record and say I thought by his previous standards he had an excellent performance yesterday. P.S. One swallow doesn't make a summer, he is still a tosser though

Another good article from the Evening Times: Derek Rae I HAVE to start my column this week with a disclaimer: I am an Aberdonian. I grew up in the Granite City and I have monitored the highs and the lows experienced by the team in red throughout my life. It is impossible for anyone from the north-east of Scotland not to have an affinity with the Pittodrie club. I was on Bundesliga duty with BT Sport on Saturday and only caught up with how Aberdeen had fared in the League Cup semi- final afterwards. I was pleased to hear Derek McInnes's side had beaten St Johnstone 4-0 at Tynecastle. Not long afterwards, though, the story about Neil Lennon being abused by Aberdeen fans emerged through his agent. I immediately posted a Tweet saying that any right-minded football fan would condemn that behaviour. And I also added that I hoped the thuggish actions of a small minority of so-called Dons fans would not be used to suit the political agenda of some. But I think the response to this sad incident has shown us that it is high time that we all started forming our own opinions. For I am afraid that far too many people are being led down the garden path by agitators in the blogosphere. Now, there are a lot of good writers online. But I get very tired of reading people who only have one outlook on life. And it troubles me greatly that many people seem to want to believe anything they publish. The facts of the matter, as Neil himself confirmed when he spoke to the media after the game with St Mirren on Sunday, are as follows. What happened in the capital was concerning and unpleasant. But he was not the victim of sectarian abuse. I thought Neil was very skilful in his choice of words. He did not inflame what was a delicate situation. Does the west of Scotland have a sectarianism problem? Undoubtedly. Is it sectarian every time Neil Lennon gets abused? Of course not. Was what happened at the weekend loutish, thuggish and unacceptable? Absolutely. Was it sectarian? No, it was not I grew up being told the story of the little boy who cried wolf. The reaction to events at the weekend reminded me of that fable. Yes, there is sectarianism in this country. But the last time I checked it was not a main issue for any political party in either the Scottish or British elections. I grew up in Aberdeen and can say unequivocally that sectarianism is not a part of everyday life in the city. I know for a fact the people of the city are furious about this. It is extremely dangerous for people to inflame things regardless of the facts just to suit their own political agendas. It is not at all helpful in the battle against this problem.

We're in agreement mate. It is the exception rather than the rule, but licensing law in Glasgow does allow for 11am opening, but you're right the majority don't bother to do it. A cup final day might be the exception though I could be wrong in saying this, but I think JDW open @ 7am even on a Sunday, but I guess it is only for breakfast and non alcoholic drinks.....would allow for a lining on the stomach though.

All the JDW pubs, i.e Counting House and the one across the road at Queen St Station (old campus) will be open as they will be doing breakfasts.
