  1. Couldn't be arsed Out Birthday brunch for the mrs Aunts birthday Flat 1-1, Logan
  2. Are you sure Wembley haven't got Urinals? I'm sure i've used some there before. What they do have is swing toilets, in that they open up more toilets (which will be cubicles) for events that will favour a particular sex. I.e. football is still probably a majority male attended event whereas a Robbie Williams gig will be female. They just change the sign on the door. I could be wrong, but I'm certain that is the case in Wembley.
  3. Good on him, if he's anything like his old school pal I met on the flight back from the final, he's a good man.

    Shite dates, won't be able to make any of them Especially since it would have been nice to see the Saints.
  5. Rojo very lucky not to be sent off against Palace. Awful lunge.
  6. Lewis, Logan, o'connor, Considine, Shinnie, Hayes, McLean, Jack, maddison, Pawlett, stockley
  7. How to make a game against Killie, at Killie, worse.
  8. Is this game on TV given there is no shitey chumps league?
  9. Out Either playing fives if I'm well enough or flat As above Flat 1-0 them and magoo grinds his assistant.
  10. Started to watch the coming war on China on Friday. Wasn't what I needed so had to stop. Awful fuckers the yanks. I knew all about the Marshall islanders but fuck me. Not that bad. Will try give it another go on Wednesday.
  11. What the fuck is that?!?!
  12. Have long thought Logan or hayes would be good. Shinnie is an obvious candidate as he is a dandy first and foremost. Whilst Anderson wasn't necessary a vocal captain, he led by example which is something that Jack struggles to do. I agree, of we can change the captaincy over ( I.e. When he was injured would have been a logical time) without causing a rift then do it. We might just see a weight lifted from his shoulders. Correct those stats don't say much about captaincy but as Rico quite rightly picks up on, they show how much more cautious we are when he plays. Just don't think he has the right player alongside him to allow him to prosper and show what kind of midfielder he is. This has to be addressed in January or we'll slip further behind the hunnery.
  13. As the question suggests, should Jack retain his captaincy? Personally, I think Jack is a good player, his progression has clearly stalled but theres still a player there. He is, however, not captain material imo. If you think it should be someone other than Shinnie, feel free to add. Some interesting stats from The Sheep on Fire on Fezbook: Goals scored under Jack's captaincy: 6 Goals scored under Shinnie's captaincy: 22 Goals conceded under Jack's captaincy: 4 Goals conceded under Shinnie's captaincy: 10 Does the pressure of the captaincy get to him? Much like it clearly got to Reynolds before he became super shit - or is it purely down to orders and tactics?
  14. That Snodgrass dive yesterday...ooft...not sure if it's any better that he's admitted it
  15. Now we're talking Málaga! That looks ace. Feels like I've not been home in ages, not had any time to cook something proper for a while now.
  16. As I said before the semi, if that happens, McInnes needs to go. It is not acceptable.
  17. Well, that's a shite result
  18. How's that working out for us so far? From the twitter feed it seemed that Pawlett was doing OK???
  19. No Logan today so jack at right back. Other than that, unchanged team. Interesting to see the formation for this one
  20. No booze for me tonight, far too much last night!

    You spoil us
  22. Got family from Alness/ Adross / Tain and Invergordon. I've only ever seen huns in Alness (my cousins included ). Probably completely unrelated, but I once met a bouncer (in manchester) who hailed from Alness and asked if I knew a big frank who went to Alness Academy, not you is it?
  23. I can't disagree with any of the above. My only concern about Jack is the ability to replace him with someone of equal or greater standing. I'm not convinced we would. But I agree, he hasn't really kicked on. Can we get rid of taylor but keep india?
  24. In/out: Out Prematch: Helping my sister make some furniture Match: Imagine the same Postmatch: couple of house parties Prediction: 1-1, Rooney
  25. I've always thought it looked like it would be good value for pubs. My meetings there are always awkwardly timed so never managed to get a pint in.
