    Looking like Dundee could be hit with a hefty fine for failing to invest/maintain their pitch.

    While I'm well aware the amount of rain has been excessive in this area it seems they have focused on the players rather than the pitch and protecting it from the 

    Excessive rain is no excuse for the appalling state of Dundee's pitch. Have there been any postponements at Tannadice this season ? As I understand it, the weather at Tannadice has been quite similar to Dens Park.

  2. National anthems are a load of shite. Why is it that we have to endure them before football or rugby internationals ? Most anthems are pathetic dirges harking back to historical battles or wars that we don't need to be reminded of - exactly the same shite that we hate (but have to listen to) when Rangers come to Paisley. 

    Completely unnecessary, a waste of time, and an opportunity for cretins in the crowd to shame their own nation.

    Get them to feck !!

    Just my opinion, of course.  :)

  3. Willie Nelson, yes I'll acknowledge this. His version of 'You were always on my mind' is a classic, absolutely beautiful. Also I've heard a few tracks by Lady A (aka Lady Antebellum), that I like.

    However,

    Johnny Cash, drivel.

    Beyonce's current single, garbage.

    I also listened to all 10 favourite music choices picked by Brad Paisley on Radio 2 this week and I would rather slit my throat than hear any of them again.

    Of course I recognise that music can be devisive and it can also be unifying. All about personal choice, innit ?

     

  4. Cards on the table, I absolutely hate Country music. I just don't get its appeal. Nah, I f'cking loathe it.

    Anyway, Radio 2's Vernon Kay morning show this week has featured interviews with a guy called Brad Paisley who is apparently a famous Country music musician. He will be doing a concert tonight in Glasgow, and seeminglyhe has been here before. 

    He told Vernon Kay that he loves arriving at Glasgow airport and seeing a big "PAISLEY" sign and a huge Paisley pattern banner.

    It made me smile that Glasgow airport was being acknowledged as actually being in Paisley. 

    :D

    Had to travel up to Portlethen to the sister in-laws and sat in the pub with the brother in-law looking at a defeat …… the brother in law goes for a piss and come back to the Nigerian Panda 🐼 dancing on the ceiling…… the poor Dons supporter is jutted …… 1 piss ….. two goals 🤣🤣👍🐼

    Too bad he didn't go for shit, we might have won about 4-1.

    Not heard much on this, how long he likely to be missing? May explain why he was soo off the boil for a while if he was carrying a knock. 

    O'Hara took part in the pre-match warm-up on Saturday so surely he must be very close to being back.

  7. Desperately disappointing that Baccus has fallen from being a 100% 'first-name-on-the-teamsheet' starter to a back-up, last 20 minutes sub. He hardly touched the ball when he came on.

    OK, I think it's more than likely (based on his gold-plated Aussie international status) that he'll be a goner in June and therefore won't be part of our future plans, it still feels wrong that his Saints career will probably be allowed to just fizzle out.

    6 games to play before the break and 8 points above the 7t placed team, which is as good as a 3 game swing.

    Top 6 looking as good as assured, despite the continual pessimistic opinions from the usual suspects throughput the season.

    What a manager we have. :happyclapper

    The midweek game at Dingwall is important. We have to approach it with the same attitude as today's game. A high pressing approach, forcing errors and creating lots of goalscoring opportunities. 

    If we can collect 3 points in Dingwall, then shafting Warnock's Wankers next weekend will have us home and dry for the top 6.

    It was a very good chance, as was Jamieson’s. There was another one in the first half which escapes me for the moment. 

    Kwon had 2 chances, one he blazed over the bar and the other that Butland saved at the post.

  10. Going for Van Veen was ambitious but also risky. I'm sure our club made the best offer it could for him without over-stretching the budget restraints.

    I'd rather miss out on the player than pish money away by gambling on a player who seems to have been out of form in the last 6 months.
