Not done any of that in a long time
-
I’ve gone for someone else. Whether the board have the foresight to be able to do that is another thing. But I think we need someone outside of Scotland that won’t be affected by the pathetic press. Some fresh ideas. Wright is not the answer.

Another unsurprising defeat. Reading some of the Facebook comments they think that this is a blip and only two defeats. It’s this level of idiocy that accepts mediocrity to continue. This team has been unbalanced from day one. Most probably because McInnes didn’t think he’d be here either. My patience with him ran out a while ago but he’d earned (or so I thought) that extra bit of time. His big game record is absolutely pathetic. The warning signs were all there with the away game at apollon and frankly, how we flukes our way to be second this long I beyond me. I think it was bobby who mentioned the concerning thing is not the fact that a managerial position would open up, it’s that McInnes has complete control of every aspect. If it plays out as we expect it to, he’ll have made a mockery of everyone at the club. Especially Milne. I don’t buy that the deal has been sorted for weeks and Milne wanted these two games out the way, there is no sense in that. That’s not to say it wasn’t mcinnes’ strategy. He’s certainly managed to cut a reasonable lead over them... Shame he’s willing to let all his good work go at the drop of an ebt.

Nix have been shite long before I started watching Goals conceded were depressingly simple. Even AOC could have blocked them. Some kamikaze goalkeeping too. Decent enough game, but nix Just sat back in the second. 2-0 is never a good score line early in the game.

As I said, hope the kick the convicts off the park

We did a blog on our travels so i've lifted a few of the photos we took along the way. If you ever get the opportunity to do the Inka Trek, do it. unreal scenery and well worth the early wake ups! Pisac, old inkan settlement with a large number of terraces still in tact. Ollantaytambo Another inkan terraced city. This was made famous as one of the rebelling generals came from here and eventually married one of the Inkan daughters. This town is where we spent the night before embarking on the trek early the next morning. I'll go through a few of the photos during the actual trek now: Walking up dead womans pass (approx 1.2km incline - mainly up steps). some farmers had set fire to burn some of the shrub away but as expected, it got out control so the local rangers had to try and put it out with rubber mats: Cloud forest area Local Llamas making their way back home after a day on the mountains. Final inkan site before our last camp site and Machu Picchu the next morning view from sun gate which you arrive at about 6:30 am. Annoyingly, the gates all open at 5:30am so that allows the non trekkers to get there by bus and so it was pretty busy by the time we got there. There's a lot to be said for their architecture. Nothing has fallen down due to earthquakes etc...whereas the colonial stuff has.

Wasn't aware of that! Will let the Kiwis know Have to say I was a bit disappointed with how Queenstown looked, but I could see it being a neat hub for winter / summer sports. Some nice lakeside restaurants too. Only popped in so didn't get the chance to explore the area let alone pop up in the gondolas. We tried the Tongariro crossing last time I was over but the weather wasn't a quite shitty so we opted against it. It's definitely on our list!

I was waiting for someone to pipe up about that

Off to my first A-league game today, gonna be a fair step down from Boca Juniors that's for sure! Wind has picked up so just your average day in Wellington. Here's hoping they kick convicts off the park

A literal toilet -
Some of the views from the wings on the London 2012 aquatic centre were horrific. This looks even worse! Have to say, haven’t paid much attention to this or the Qatar bids. I’d have thought the Russians would have been fairly on the ball with this

Heads would have to roll after that (should it happen). I pray to god this isn’t the case. Not that I’m afraid of losing him, moreso of losing him to them after what has been a laughable few weeks. -

Have to say it’s clear as day DM “tactical genius” decided we should sail pressure and not bring it to them. It hasn’t ever worked, once. I cannot fathom why he persists with this when it’s not playing to our strengths. We seriously need an overhaul squad wise, maybe it would have been best if he had have gone in the summer? We’ve certainly not improved and it’s hard to see how they will, he clearly hasn’t a clue. He’s also certainly had more bad signings than good. Sort it out. -
I didn’t think there was a difficult decision to make? Looked like a clear cut penalty to me?

Meant to be very good sky diving in the South Island! Bunny jumping was also invented not too far from Queenstown, hope to try it out myself at some point! :thumbsup:

Well, I guess it’s as depressing as it was predictable. McInnes is probably the biggest big game bottler at the club. He does it with such consistency it’s unreal. There was no reason to fear that rangers team, ever, let alone currently. It’s an embarrassment. Stop fucking about you clown, play to our strengths, which everyone knows does not include defending this season. The fact that even redtv couldn’t argue with it spoke volumes. Just glad I stopped listening after the first half debacle. This one (along with the multiple of others this season) is down to him. Sort it the fuck out ahead of Sunday. -
Can you copy the tweet? You can embed that on here similar to youtube vids

He's not, but he's managed the EPL and a "name".

In fairness he has the ability, just not the bottle and desire to do it. Oot Job hunting Bed Bed 2-1 them, May We really should be beating them if the other teams are capable of it, not sure we have a consistent enough team to do it yet though. -
Stranger Things, currently midway through season 2. Not what I expected but that's no bad thing. Enjoying it so far! Finished Narcos a while back too, great series and got me prepped lingo wise for South America

Well that was a pleasant score to wake up to! May's goal was exactly the kind of goal I thought we'd see him score a lot more of. Hopefully it's exactly the confidence booster he needs. I would have loved to have seen the look on pie face's face at full time. Bastard. Edit: My killie mate told me we hadn't lost there in seven years. Can't say I knew that at all, doesn't seem long ago when those games used to be both horrific as a spectacle as well as scoreline.

I certainly thought I remember seeing that on ceefax back in the day but never really saw much of it. If it was true, what an error on our part. Excellent defender.
-
Never once had a problem with them. Only temporarily blocked my account when I withdrew money in Serbia without telling them. Fair game I thought! Anyway, good to see we’re doing reasonably well.
