Great photies, and a fitting tribute to Scully's brilliant match.

I can't remember us winning a match that we deserved so much to lose! It was quite frankly an atrocious display against a 10-man team. Before the sending off we outplayed Dundee, who were about as poor a Dundee team as I can recall. But after the sending off they outplayed, outfought (sometimes literally) and outran us, and if wasn't for Ryan Scully's wonderful display they could have scored 5 or 6. Right enough we had several glorious chances too that were totally wasted (Elliot, Cairney, Stewart...). In the second half we looked every bit like a team heading for relegation that has collapsed as a unit; that's how bad it was. No confidence in hitting passes to each other, players getting in each other's way, crowded in the middle of the park with no movement off the ball.... In fact, the gentlemanly thing to do would be to acknowledge how unlucky Dundee were and relinquish the three points. :lol:

They did not too badly, alongside new boy Erskene (also from the BBC).

Tell that to PTTV!

Thanks. Let's hope we get it right up them tomorrow.

Got my threads mixed up.

Another stat: Dundee women are ridden with all kinds of ailments.

Does anybody know the final outcome of the case in which a Downdee steward (mascot?) slapped a Jags fan at the game last season and then ran away to hide in his shelter? I seem to remember it went to court, but I'm not sure.

Far far too sensible for Scottish football clubs to understand!

Is it just me, or have some recent posts disappeared from here?

It's thanks to my age that I know what she did. Or do you want to forget what she did? Of course she went on to do worse, much worse. Or do you want to forget it all as well, just because she's been fortunate and wealthy enough to live to be old ? And once again, I have no chip on my shoulder other than against politicians, wherever they are from and whatever their affiliation, who behave crassly and with total indifference to the negative effects that their policies have on ordinary people's lives, even killing them as "collateral damage" in the case of some people that you listed earlier. Somehow I don't believe that an independent Scotland would be so eager to go killing people in other nations.

Thanks for that. No doubt a vague reply will come from the usual suspects; something like "Aye, but apart from all of them!" That's about it in a nutshell, I'm afraid.

Well, we'll clearly disagree on most issues, but what are you voting for every time you vote for your favoured party? You don't know the details of precisely what they will do if they get into power. All you know is what they basically stand for. Then you need to wait and see. It's the same if you vote for independence (which I recommend, when the time comes. ) As I've often said before, without getting any valid reply: Why is it that no country that has ever gained (or re-gained) its independence has ever decided to go back to being dependent? Real sovereignty must have something going for it, don't you think?

"Demise" is too strong (I have difficulty controlling my emotions when it comes to the milk snatcher!). Replace that with "deteriorating conditions", then it should be clear to everybody other than her most fanatical supporters.

Not "rather than", but "as well as".

The irony is that Thatcher was happy to instigate and oversee the demise of millions of people.

Maybe unlikely, but does anybody have any use for old and used VHS tapes? Want to see Match of the Day, Eastenders, Chewing The Fat, Corrie, etc etc from 10 years ago? Going free to whoever wants them (around a dozen right now, more soon).

Closer to home means more accountable. The Libyans dealt with Gaddafi their way, not the way others would have dealt with him, for example.

Every time I see a new thread entitled "Thatcher" my spirits rise in eager anticipation.

I took the liberty of providing supplementary information. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Congratulations on longest sentence of the month!

Same for season-ticket holders and non-holders?

While we're at it: protective gloves could be handed out at the turnstyles, so that we don't need to make direct contact with said turnstyles, doors in the JH concourse, and other seething havens of disease-causing agents. Anybody noticed that the servers who take your pie out of the oven use the same, unprotected hands ( ) that they use to collect money from punters? Now, everybody knows that paper and metal money are ridden with bacteria, faecal matter etc etc. So, you're not just sitting in nasties; you might be ingesting them! Sort it out, Jags! As for many people's mobile phones.... do you ever use your phone when you're at the bog? Ugh! Etc. etc.

(The) Saint!

Got to agree: I also don't hold bird jobby-splattered seats in very high regard. But I've usually found it pretty easy to find cleaner seats in the 2/3 empty JH stand.
