  1. I'm gutted that Killie look like they'll get their act together in time to avoid relegation, certainly they'll be able to beat the hivees. The only way I would have happily seen them stay up is if they were to face the hunnery newco in a playoff game. Hibs are as consistent as us in that they will always bottle it when they have the opportunity to capitalise on their indifferent form. It's a shame that the blue nose scum appear to be getting their house in order, I really hoped that they'd die again. Just to wipe the smugness of those potty nosed pricks faces. Not bothered about the Arabs, yes it's a great day out and one the better games to be involved with, but they are shite. They need to get relegated and sort themselves out.

    Not at all actually! Not that I remember at least. I still really want to see Spotlight, Hateful Eight, The big short and Deadpool. Saw Trumbo last night, a very, very good film which seems to have gone under the radar! Even better that it is actually a true story. About a guy who was a very popular screenwriter in the 40/50s who was a member of the American communist party. Excellent cast too.

    Will check it out! Cheers
  4. Well we always knew this was going to happen. Nobody's fault but our own (well, a lot of Gollums fault as well).
  5. Good to see Caley have put up a fight

    Warned You! Interesting film but not sure it's great. Saw Steve jobs the other day. I thought it was good and probably a more accurate portrayal of him as a likely penis.
  7. Well that's a relief!
  8. Likely to miss this one tonight but fuck me do we need to see a reaction after Monday's shambles. As Jute says, would love to see him drop Taylor but having two left sided centre halves isn't a great idea (whom both Consie and McKenna are). Throwing McKenna in maybe a bit too early, especially alongside Reynolds who can't look after himself let alone someone else. I'd even be tempted to see what this other lad can do, I have no faith in Brown and neither do the defense. Out Work Pub Flat 1-1, Rooney
  9. Another sign of the reactionists that run this game. Wasn't it just yesterday that the English FA announced something similar for all cup games? In this instance I do agree with the moving of the final though
  10. Excellent summary and pretty much my thoughts on the matter. You never get value for money in January, we've been fortunate with both Logan and McLean. But obviously with McLean we had to part with substantial cash (for us) to secure one of Scotland's best prospects.
  11. Thanks will check it out. Need a new book now!
  12. Problem is we only sing 3 songs and it gets tiresome and boring. Kudos to them for trying to bring in some new songs into our repertoire. Other fans manage, why can't ours? Who knows one or two might actually stick.
  13. Glad to see the club are finally engaging the fans on this. http://www.afc.co.uk/news/7483.php#.VsSZw_l4ZhE Survey for all to take below: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VXQHR5N Certainly makes much more sense to have the singing section in the Merkland (or SS which would be my preference).
  14. Well, Cahill has just had his contract terminated with some Chinese pretenders
  15. Kinda defies the reason for drawing fouls on a serious note, I didn't think he did much, the same as he's done for the past couple of seasons. He was hardly the worst or only offender. It's probably unlucky for him that he has to come on for Hayes who is generally superb. Really hope his injury isn't as bad as we fear. But agree, our set pieces are woeful.
  16. Got given the latest (my first) stieg larsson book for Christmas. Got round to reading it recently, enjoyed it. I had avoided the series before because they seemed so popular but I was impressed. Sometimes a bit predictable but generally had me turning the pages. Has anyone else read the rest?
  17. Ah right fair enough! Saw they wore t-shirts for him recently, he seems to be very positive anyway.
  18. I was quite proud of that It was surprisingly easy to think of a word befitting of a player that contributes nothing.
  19. As is former hun Julian Faubert...
  20. Sounds like he'll be out for at least 6-8 weeks given that it's a tear to his hamstring. Massive, massive blow to any chances of finishing top or even in touching distance with the tims. Depth of squad is really going to called into question now. Peepaw did heehaw last night.
  21. Nice one bobby, will give it a watch
  22. I used to think it was a massive coup for the club, getting Reynolds to sign a long term deal. I still think that it was what we needed at the time. However, as others have said since Ando has retired he has been woeful. Doesn't appear to have a clue. In him, Taylor and considine we have 3 centre halves who are either shite or bombscares. We got outmuscled all over the pitch and it is still something that needs to be addressed. Our bench is incredibly thin, something the commentators even got correct. DM didn't have much on to turn to. Still thoroughly pissed off and disappointed. Perennial bottlers. Feel bad for Shinnie, rooney and logan. At least they tried.
  23. No doubts about it BB. Myself and ED pretty much said the same thing just after half time. They weren't playing to the whistle but moaning about not getting things. We all know that he is a shite ref and a horrible mink of a sub human being, play to our strengths, not his. Anyone that chews gum like Hughes deserves a punch in the face too. ARGH! Taylor, pussy of the month. That was pathetic.
  24. FFS, despite our shite and utterly abject performance we should of and could have won that. Had that goal stood, or even their "penalty" not given, along with the two we should have had. Unbelievable. We were utterly shite, don't get me wrong, but Gollum should be hung for that. That was embarrassingly atrocious.
  25. made it easy for the ref (who is incompetent and everyone should know it), it was a stupid challenge.
