I had one issue with this. Why was de Niro cast? He's got Italian heritage and even looks Italian throughout the whole film?!? Wasn't he supposed to be Yankee Irish?  It was a great film, but I think they got the casting wrong.

Think it was partly his idea to do the film wasn't it?  Obviously great to have such a cast featuring, Pesci was incredible especially when he was pretty much out of the game.  Couple of American comedians popped up in it too and done great jobs, Sebastian and Ray Romano the obvious two but Jim Norton (hilarious comedian) playing Don Rickles for such a small part nailed it.

 

Anyways, Guilt that was on BBC Scotland a few weeks again was fantastic, well worth watching if you haven't already.

Necking- Cut Your Teeth, debut album from a Vancouver band and it's a bit of a hidden gem, thankful I found it.

As much as I love them and enjoyed the album I feel that there's probably a couple of albums that are better than theirs, overall.  I haven't finalised my list yet (not that anyone cares) but Dogrel probably gets in the top 10, one album I can't get enough of though is Tainted Lunch by Warmduscher.

Back in the day my Mrs was always getting it in the neck from donstalkers, Big Al especially.

That's a strange place for her to take it.

The cricketer who lamped a boy outside a club and who's wife likes him to grab her face will win. Can't remember his name just now but every guffy will know who I mean. A ging er.

Ben Stokes, he's deserving of it, one of the best sporting performances I've ever watched was his innings in the cricket world cup, incredible.

 

Had Enable won her 3rd Arc I'm sure Dettori would've been in with a big chance of taking the award home.

The Capture on BBC1 has been very good. Hope it maintains its high standards and doesn’t get too silly by the end.

Loving this, each episode has been brilliant.

Rina Mushonga has a beautiful album that came out earlier this year.

Except he was miles better than Flood, technically and positionally. His running was generally not headless chickenery, it was - for the most part - targetted and relentless. The times it wasn't were usually when everyone else had stopped working or he'd already run himself into the ground. A yellow card every 3 games is absolutely fine for a player that was regularly making up for others' lack of workrate, which he was (especially in that Motherwell game, where he was pap alongside a host of other pap). Two Scotland managers, and pretty much every pundit on the BBC agrees with me. You seem to be thinking I'm saying that he was the perfect player. I'm definitely not. Like TC, I don't think he'll suit the game down South either. The limitations to his game are more apparent down there and his obvious attributes of drive, strength, fitness and workrate significantly less useful. I think he'd also reached the peak of his game in midfield and I don't see any avenues for him to improve as his passing isn't good enough to be like Jack or Ferguson or the like.

Can't agree with you on him being positionally better than Flood, the amount of fouls Shinnie gave away after getting caught out of position was staggering, notice how much Shinnies flaws showed up in games after Jack left, Jack covered for him quite a bit and Shinnie struggled when the onus was on him to dictate the midfield.

 

Two Scotland managers agree with you, that doesn't hold much weight when they are picking from a small pool of players and he's only managed 6 appearances, one of which he got completely shown up in.

He was one of the best midfielders in the league in every season he played there. Almost always got the better of his opponent over 90 minutes. Including - regularly - likes of McGinn and McGeouch at Hibs and held is own against opposition in Europe (Burnley, notably). He was very good for us. His workrate phenomenal at times, regularly running himself into the ground where his teammates stood watching. Pretty much every pundit would agree and most AFC fans. We can discuss his obvious limitations, but none of that takes away from the fact he was one of the best in our league when playing for us. He formed part of a team with a very clear role. His simple passing was absolutely fine, it was when he needed to play a quick pass or a difficult pass where his limitations were notable - for which we had others.

If you seriously believe he was one of the best midfielders in the league then you are actually mental.  Plenty of games where he ran around missing tackles, giving the ball away and failing to intercept the ball and these were in games that he'd surely be dominating if he was as good as you think he was.  Motherwell cup game when they horsed us down there being one of the worst performances I've seen from an Aberdeen player, if he wasn't classed as "one of our own" he'd have been slaughtered but oh no the usual shit got spouted like "at least he cares" "He shows passion and that's what we want".

 

Many Aberdeen fans are happy to wank over the passion he showed and simple ignore the basics that he continually failed to do, he was averaging a yellow card every 3 games and was bordering on being a liability as a midfielder, I get the role he was intended to do but much like Flood when he done a similar role there were more games than not where it wasn't needed.

 

Like Ojo who you already hailed as the complete replacement a fortnight ago?

Ojo can pass it's the tackling and looking slightly off the pace just now that's a worry, fact is though he's a different type of player to Shinnie and I'm sure given time he'll do just fine for us.

He is a very capable SPL midfielder. He proved that over several seasons. How he fares in England doesn't detract from that in anyway.

I'd argue that he never, plenty of games where he ran around like a headless chicken, unable to make a simple pass and worst of all his tackling was way below the standard required.

I agree entirely. I was never one of the Shinnie boo boys like Minijc. Oddly enough he's gone quiet after Ojo's "indifferent" start to his Dons career.

Gone quiet lol, early days for Ojo and he hasn't started well but I'm willing to give him time, much like I did with Shinnie but anyone that thinks Shinnie is a capable midfielder is mental and shouldn't be taken seriously, rather amusing that he was left out of the Derby squad at the weekend then made to play under 23s last night.

I watched The Hateful Eight on a flight home from vegas/Mexico trip, thought it was alright enough but I'm not really a film person.

Mindhunter 2 is bloody excellent.

You didn't post up the odds? Nobody's this stupid.

you'll get what you are given boy.

If you really wanted to dig yourself out of the hole, you would show the facts.

 

Facts are better than lies, every day of the week.

 

I've not said anything to make a cunt of. All I did was expose your stupidity  Unless you can show otherwise?

I deal in facts Rocket it's just a lot more fun to keep getting you to bite, you're so desperate to have a go at me.

 

Selections were Wolsfburg win+BTTS, BTTS in Man City v Spurs, BTTS in the Villa game, Everton to win and then metz to win

See that's the typical reply that I expected, I've got you on a string bud and this is proving to be a lot of fun, I could've just posted the picture of the guys screen shot yesterday when you first challenged but where would be the fun in that?  You've made a cunt of it.

I like you mini. You're a fucking fool but I like you. I even half admire your obstinacy but take some life advice, would you? I'm probably more than double your age and if I don't know it all then chances are that you don't either.

 

You MUST be on solid ground if you're prepared to push an argument all the way. It's utterly imbecilic to post something, it gets challenged and you fail to reflect and make a judgement as to the accuracy of your disputed post. Then, in an attempt to mitigate the disaster of your making, you invent stuff.

I didn't invent anything, your go to default reaction when someone is proving you wrong is to play dirty and call them names, even accuse them of being a liar because you can't handle being wrong.  The cash out example I posted was 100% true, I've no reason to make it up but as I started posting I knew what you'd do, in fact I know how you'll respond to this reply as well as you have a history of flying off the handle when challenged and you don't get your own way, that's why you've been banned from a few forums.

When you show how £500 turned into the exact amount you said it did, you prove that you didn't make it up.

 

But we both know you did.

 

You have TEN YEARS of producing mutant-like posts and lying and trying to cover up your stupidity. I would've thought by now you might have learned your lesson. Repeating the same mistakes over and over again ain't right. The rock must've had a monkey died recently if there's an opening for the likes of you.

LOL

The example you gave, the bookies lost £4600.

 

Who were the fifth team?

Metz to beat Monaco, I think a bookies will take a £5100 lost instead of a 30k one.

Share your calculations.

Why would I do that, you're just going to call me a liar and say I'm making it up.  I'll be back when I see other cashouts that benefit the bookies and trust me there's plenty.
