  1. I don't know if Mikel meant it, but the bounce in front of the keeper on that surface was exactly the right shot to take in those conditions. The ball looked as if it skidded as it bounced and it completely fooled Carson. Either genius or good luck, but I guess the ball did what he meant it to.
  2. I've seen a few players slipping on the surface in some games this season, the grass doesn't seem as deep rooted as it has been in recent years. I think the grass is reseeded every summer so maybe we did something different. I think it does look quite slick in some areas and the spots where the players do their warm-ups are quite well worn
  3. Poor show No reason they couldn’t have been here hours ago if we don’t win they should forfeit 3-0
  4. I was truly amazed at a few of those games (Cowdenbeath, Easter rd, Fakes at home and RC at home to name a few)
  5. Good to know, I am working in Hillington now and envisaged staying behind to watch in person but I'll be in meetings in Edinburgh until 5 so the PPV works perfectly
  6. We will need to counter the tactic they used at set plays near the box on the last outing at Dundee, where they literally fenced Hemming in with the tall players, at one point he had to run around them to get near the ball and ended up trying to get in front of them at the 6 yard line (is that 5.8m now?). Hopefully we will command our area this time
  7. You don't know which direction he travelled in
  8. he was ok the theme to his "Quiller" series was really good,
  9. I thought you were ore focussed on the "foreigner" bit than the other bit
  10. We might have chances right in front of goal but there is usually something wrong with the delivery that makes conversion difficult even for a good striker early in the season we were rewarded with breaks and goals from midfielders, we need to get back to that, our scoring strategy is akin to pinball when a ball is delivered into the box almost every pass is over hit now and nobody is getting the ball in front of them in an attacking position
  11. Any songs she has played will begin with "hello-hello" and won't be by PiL
  12. And I was the CDM co-ordinator on a small project at the Beatson, it doesn't mean I helped treat cancer. The guy in charge of the Beatson previously had been in my class at St Mirin's, maybe I can claim to have been a person of influence there?
  13. Not having a degree didn't stop me from progressing in my career, however when I identified a gap in my professional profile i studied for a degree. Scotland is indeed a nation of lifelong learning, for those who can be arsed.
  14. There's "growing" and there is sitting on your phone with a biscuit barrel between your "growing" thighs all day.
  15. apparently to hasten-on the expansion of the temple
  16. Would you discuss the ethnicity of the officers involved when a white driver refuses to disclose?
  17. South korea has an expansive border with a hostile power, populated by people whose language and appearance would be fairly homogenous within the established population Japan is nearby (ish) and is constantly threatened by missile launches carried outby the same hostile neighbour. Given the risk of espionage and subversion by this power, I think we can allow them some leeway when it comes to scrutiny of asylum seekers
  18. I enjoyed that right up to the point the esteemed provost popped up, I happen to know that she is only about 5 years younger than me and to state that she never heard the chimes as an adult is just bollocks, she just never listened.
  19. Hubs were way sharper than us in the last game at Easter rd
  20. SL just watched the replay Zak panicked there, no presence of mind or conviction if he had focussed just on the ball there was a great chance of dispossessing the forward
