    Clarkson

    I find Clarkson to be a total bellend but if he wasn't I be as well sit and watch my next door neighbour doing whatever. The character he has created (real or not) is what I find entertaining especially the interaction with May and Hammond who deserve medals for putting up with him. Such a pompous twat who deservedly lost his job for being a child. What I find even more amusing is the offended bus that seems to be bursting at the seams these days. As for the Grand Tour. It is ok but missing some key elements from the old Top Gear but light years ahead of the drivel the BBC put out last.
  2. No not against the bigots but in previous games he has been less than prolific missing more than a few that Rooney of old would have buried. There is no one else I would rather be on the park to take a penalty but without any other contribution (goals) he is a luxury we can't afford. This is a big part of the reason we are slipping back into the clutches of the also rans.
  3. Undoubtedly Rooney is off form at the moment and there are no signs of any improvement anytime soon however I honestly do not see any benefit of playing Stockley as I don't think he is good enough. That said he could well prove me wrong if given the opportunity and I suppose at worst it might give Rooney a kick up the arse. One thing I would like to see tried is McGinn through the middle a position he excelled at when he first came here especially as he is a confidence player and scoring regularly would benefit him and the team. With Hayes and Burns on the wings and Maddison in behind I have a feeling that there would be plenty goals. Having Rooney as a sub would be none too shabby either. Never going to happen though
  4. If what you say is correct and a hun can't get motivated enough to get stuck into timmy then what chance do we stand next week when he is in rollover mode. I honestly believe he is misused by McInnes but mainly he is just really not that good.
  5. I am losing faith that McInnes has what it takes to move us forward given the resources he has at his disposal. He has a knack of playing good players out of position rendering them useless and then has them playing tactics that so clearly do not work and yet he persists with them. On the field I feel we have regressed over the past couple of years ... pretty much since cadger retired and Robson took a back seat which kind of proves that we have no natural leader on the park at the moment. Shinnie has potential for this but when he is played out of position not so much. We obviously need something to bolster our first team. Too many underperforming players and the new guys that have come in are just not up to scratch. Stockley .... carthorse. Burns .... quick but does nothing. Storey .... who? Maddison .... ok but a bit of a luxury player that can't tackle. O'Connor .... best of the bunch but is he really good enough? Lewis .... better than we have had and yet didn't really make a save yesterday. It would be good to see the momentum building again like during the "sheep are on fire" period but optimism is on hiatus at the moment.
  6. We could not really complained if the score was bigger than 3 nil to be honest. It scares me to think how bad it could have been if they had played well. We put nothing into the game we got nothing out. Not that I really care about what the neutral thinks but we must have been woeful to watch on the tv. We were dire and if not for the fans at the start we would have contributed fuck all to the spectacle. The club as a whole deserve all the flak they are taking for this.
  7. Would agree that McLean was our least worst player today although he did make a mistake getting caught on possession which almost lost us a goal.
  8. If Maddison is allowed to pull on the big boy pants then he is fair game for getting called out for not filling them. Sure he has good technical skill but he is extremely selfish and way too easily brushed off the ball which invariably left us having to attempt to defend a bigot attack. He will undoubtedly go onto bigger and better things .... not here though. Hayes was one of our worst performers today and I kind of felt a bit sorry for him. Every pass was miscontrolled and his passing wasn't much better. You could see his head go down and with it any chance of us threatening a comfortable Celtic defence. Looking forward I fear we will not win next Saturday. They outplayed us last time out and we were rather fortunate to get the win and I think Iprix will remain a mental hurdle that our manager does not have the keys to unlock.
  9. We rolled over like a bunch of schoolboys with limited confidence. Pass marks for none today after such a weak effort. Lewis over-rated. Maddison totally over-rated. Rooney invisible. Jonny had a shocker. Jack never a captain in a million years. Mcinnes sent us out to lose as far as I am concerned otherwise why would he send us out with the same tactics as the last two games which obviously worked a treat. Didn't expect to win but expected to see some pride shown.
  10. Should be a yes but there is something a bit too manly about her so a reluctant no. The action man lines and the fact that she looks like she would eat you alive (not in a good way) don't help.
  11. Not the quality of the original series but still an ok watch. It certainly has not fallen to the depths of "Only An Excuse" yet but then there isn't much to fall after that. Like the new series of Red Dwarf it works because of the nostalgia but probably won't attract many new viewers.
  12. Wish they would just die as a club but that would be just too decent of them. Financial fair play my arse.
  13. Money ... the root of all evil. Clubs used to be run by fans who would die for their club but now they are run by rich, selfish arrogant businessmen who think nothing of trampling the humble football supporter to make a quick buck. Developing technology makes this easier and short of a worldwide power failure irreversible.
  14. For all our "talent" up front we are really poor at carving teams open. The usual excuse is that we are rubbish against a team that sits in but it is obvious that we ain't no great shakes against a team that has a go either.
  15. Yes just not good enough. You hit the nail on the head.
  16. In danger of a hammering here if we don't buck up
  17. Watched Walking Dead last night after work to wind down but bloody hell what the fudge are you supposed to do with that. Superb acting from all which went to make it all the more believable and even more depressing! The only way is up for the good guys now ... surely. Of course came home from work tonight and thought well it can't be as bad as last night and then Collum took over .... prick!!
  18. Three points thrown away by a dismal display. Well done to 12 man Accies for taking advantage.
  19. Sounding like a big anti climax this one. Needing a decent pep talk from Deek if we are in danger of taking anything from this game.
  20. A probable yes from me although it would depend how snooty she was. Would we have to talk afterwards?

    I watch many horror type films but I find it increasingly difficult to find something that actually has the effect it is supposed to. I saw the Exorcist at a young age and although it freaked me out at the time it means that nothing phases me now. Generally the better film are less is scarier but still not really scary. Does anyone have any hidden gems that might give me a sleepless night?
  22. Was a decent game on the whole from our point of view. Maddison, Hayes and McGinn all looked up for running with the ball. Been a while since I have seen Shay so attack minded and it made a big difference. If we cut out the lapses in concentration then we will be heading in the right direction. Only negatives today were Taylor's injury and the fact that all the teams around us in the league won also. COYR
  23. As long as we get three points then it is all good. Having said that my nerves prefer a good couple of goal lead before the last five minutes. Not our usual M.O. COYR
  24. You expect underwhelming stuff from Scotland these days and they don't disappoint. Time for the arrogant wee smart arse to vacate his job taking his chum with him. In fact a complete sfa clearout would be a good start.

    Just watched Magificent Seven and it was a decent film with a good cast. It had that epic action movie feel to it but it was nowhere near as good as the original with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen which is an untouchable classic.
