Jute Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Tims 2-0 against Dundee, is that the title officially won? Middlesborough currently 2-1 down against man United. Their first goal in 509 mins! No as we won yesterday. Finished 2-1. Quote
manc_don Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 Some strike by Podolski against England (who were wearing a very Scotland-esque kit btw). Nice way to sign off your international career. Quote

OxfordDon Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 I was listening to it on the BBC site to see if they would give "Jonathan" Hayes a run out, but missed the last bit, and started on the heart palpitations when i came back and read the text visible on the screen: Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill on Sky Sports: “It's a bad break. He's a fantastic player and character. It’s a major blow for the lad, his club and us. "Apparently it wasn’t the best challenge in the world – I haven’t seen it. He's gone to hospital. I saw his reaction immediately and it didn’t look good. He was holding is leg up and it didn't look good. Quote
tom_widdows Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 I know its the 'diddy' cup final and its been given a shit kick-off time but I still think it is a sad sign that two of Scottish footballs reasonably big teams cannot muster up 13,742 fans between them. I went to the 2013 final with my QOS supporting mates and that was a sell out in both ends. Still don't understand why Fir Park is one of the preferred venues for this final. Good game so far - 1-1 (2 goals in the space of 1min) Quote
OxfordDon Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 The diddyness was summed up perfectly by this picture on the BBC live text. Man of the match tony Andreu with his bottle of bubbly: Quote
manc_don Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 That is a shockingly low attendance for a cup final! Given the Arabs don't have much to cheer about. Guess that sums the Arabs up though. Quote
tom_widdows Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 That is a shockingly low attendance for a cup final! Given the Arabs don't have much to cheer about. Guess that sums the Arabs up though. Off the ball mentioned the traffic issues and seemingly people were texting them about requesting a delay to the kick off but the officials at the game say there wasn't even a suggestion from the teams. The issues with the construction works on the major roads around Motherwell and Hamilton have been well documented for at least the last 6months (probably even longer) so anyone who was driving should have made allowances and planned to arrive in Motherwell much earlier. It may not be the nicest place in Scotland but sitting in a Starbucks or Costa beats sitting on the Raith Interchange. In saying that given the upper tier of the 'away' stand was closed it means the Arabs allocation was only 5,376 with St Mirrens being 5,873. Whether or not the upper tier was deliberately shut to make it a fair split St Mirrens allocation looked close to a sell out whilst there were big gaps in the United sections. Quote

Fir Park seems like an odd location for a final, bit of a pain to get to for more fans I would have thought? Still, folk could easily have factored the traffic in. Shame really, as you say, two reasonable sized teams should have attracted more. I see Holland slipped up against Bulgaria last night, with their 17 year old Mattijs de Ligt making his debut (youngest player since the 1930's). The Dutch press were all over him in the build up this week. Seems like he had a bit of a horror show. Holland just cannot get it right at the mo, seem to have caught a bit of Englanditis where ego's overpower actual ambition and team unity. Quote
tlg1903 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 The real question is why the fuck was it played at such an early time! If it had been a 3 or later kick off it would have had a much better attendance! Quote

OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Cammy Smith gets an assist, Shankland hits the bar and Tansey nearly scores a peach. Dons players all having fun today. Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 St Johnstone kicking lumps out of... each other. Danny Swanson beating on Tricky Dicky Foster, evidently doesn't want him on his team any more Quote
donsdaft Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Is that somebody's given Foster a kicking? I wish it had been me. Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Radio saying that Swanson and Foster both red carded and st Johnstone down to (at least) 9 men. Pity really as they were looking like catching Sevco. Maybe that's why Foster kicked off Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 "Foster tries to punch him (Swanson), slips and misses. Swanson kicks him in the face..." I shouldn't laugh but Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Stadium DJ playing "KungFu Fighting" followed by "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky at halftime :rofl: :rofl: Quote
manc_don Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Haha that's hilarious! Although I did want them to win today, especially if the hunco are losing Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 'mon Well, St Johnstone, Partick and Tansey Quote
tom_widdows Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 sevco 0 McGhee's ex 1 Finished 1-1. Seemingly Motherwell were taking them to pieces and the Sevco keeper was taking them on by himself Quote
OxfordDon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Partick now only 14 points behind Sevco - zombies may be closer to 6th place than to 2nd by this time next week Quote
