He's totally flipped, on the edge of utter madness and really should be locked away somewhere. It's uncertain if he believes the continual shite he posts or does it to attract attention but, IMO, he's best ignored. Surprised he's still allowed on the forum, any social media TBH. Steady on! Eccentricity used to be seen as a likeable quirk... 3 minutes ago, St.Ricky said: Fine thanks W6er Been pretty busy. Hope all is well with you and yours. Thank you. Glad to see you're well and keeping busy. The forum's not the same without you!* I trust you will be purchasing a season ticket? *Cue a boring quip about how much it has improved.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Have you been in Sweden long?Aff his heid.Maybe it was a "Swedish friend" who posted under his account calling him an arse for not taking this crisis seriously. That new approach lasted about 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our group is going up by one to 6 all buying season tickets. My son in Edinburgh's job to buy them this time. We will reimburse him (honest) I see that neither the language or the tone of the Wee Man from Arbroath have improved.

Perfect opportunity for those who don't or can't go to buy a ticket for someone who will. I'm sure they can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that could be used to subsidise those season ticket holders, who've fallen on hard times, to purchase one. It'd benefits the loyal fans and ensure the club isn't hit so hard financially.

faraway saint Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Quite a considerable drop today, Oaky will be in tears. 596 today, 888 yesterday.

St.Ricky Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Probably an oil magnate. The wee man might buy out the family stand. How much would that cost? Edited April 19, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundays are always low because the various reporting systems are not operating 7 days a week. The numbers also don't appear to include deaths in care homes or outside hospitals. Right now we have no way of knowing what the true daily death numbers truly are but it is certainly considerably higher than those reported by worldometer.
