  1. Mackie for me.  The 1000% effort he put in tonight was fantastic, every jump for every header was so close he almost won one of them.  To get so close to Aluko's cross in the first minute without making contact - you cant learn stuff like that.  His ability to try and control the ball with his shin/knee/nose while running in the opposite direction of where he should be going is so underrated.  He attempted numerous passes and lay offs tonight - wasn't his fault that there wasn't a Dons player on the end of them.  I even noticed that he managed to stay onside a couple of times - fantastic.  Scott Wilson knew that he'd been in a game last night.  After a performance like than I'm not surprised he got a full 120 minutes.

  2. Nae much fun working on the rig floor wi sideways snow blasting in the v-door though  :(

     

    Just get somebody to close it then, in fact better locking it, just to be sure.

  3. I've been watching quite a lot of 'Come Dine with Me' recently, also Masterchef.

     

    Plus with Buzzcocks, QI, Mock the Week etc on Dave every night, there is always something to watch on an evening.

     

    QI and Family Guy keep me going til bed time, but like most on here I fell I have to see Lost to the end.  Not really enjoying it too much but i've put in too many hours to end up not knowing what the fuck its all about.  Looking forward to Heroes though as they at least explain things along the way.

     

    Supersize v Superskinny gets recorded too, I'm always amazed just how far some people go before they realize they're killing themselves.  

  4. Mackie has scored something like 51 goals in 10 years.

     

    Horrific...

     

    Horrific if it was 10 full seasons starting most games.  Still not a prolific record but here's his stats from SoccerBase;

     

    League Apps: 175 (68) Goals 51

    SFA Cup Apps: 10 (5) Goals 5

    League Cup Apps: 10 (3) Goals 1

    Europe Apps: 6 (1)  Goals 2

     

    Total:  201 Appearances (77 as sub) 59 Goals.

     

    Also made 5 appearances for ICT on loan in 2004, 0 goals.

     

     

  5. From the Mailonline about the third goal...

     

    Television replays were later accompanied by a claim that McDonald was poised to award Aberdeen a penalty before giving the goal. An alternative version has it that the referee saw his assistant Willie Dishington’s flag and blew for a Celtic free-kick when, in fact, the linesman was signalling a legitimate goal.

     

    Either way, the goal was allowed to stand, to the consternation of the away dugout. ‘We had a look at it and there is certainly not a penalty there,’ added Strachan.

    So you can't see Hesselink pulling back Mackie by the neck of his shirt?

     

    Such a bad loser.

  6. I loved Strachan's comments on BBC's match report....

     

    "The thing that let us down is that they scored four goals from four free-kicks and we have to see if there is a common denominator there and eradicate it.

     

    "I feel sorry for Mark Brown, because he has not had a save to make and has not been able to show his ability."

     

    eh?  I counted at least four saves he had to make!

     

    GIRUY ye wee shite.

  7. I had a chat with McKimmie a few years back and we got onto the subject of Willie Miller's after dinner speaking, which I enjoyed at one of the many gothenburg nights.  He said he was surprised that Willie actually did that sort of thing 'cos when they were team mates he always found Miller a bit dour and he didn't really speak to the rest of the players too much only the older ones that he'd known for years.  Certainly wasn't life and soul of the dressing room and not what you'd call a funny guy.

     

    So no, they weren't big pals.

  8. A player who's played 12 games the whole year returns to training on a Monday and is in contention for the Saturday??  I wonder if any of the bookies will take bets on him getting injured at Inverness.  Bloody hell Jimmy, let him get back in shape first before rushing him back.  Haven't you learned yet?
