The Mantis

Quite pleased for them today but only because it was Celtic they were playing. Think that was only their first ever win at Parkheid, while we’ve had, what, three? Plus I don’t think they have ever beaten Rangers/Sevco, while we practically own them 😎

If 'off topic" is good enough for the site owner... 😇 Glendalough- that'll be the Glen with the two lochs then... Redbreast is another really nice one but it seems to have soared in price as it's become popular. I was at Bushmills on a bike many moons ago. I had a tasting along with a coach load of young Merkins who weren't really that interested, so there was loads left at the end. Ever tried cycling 10 miles pished?

*** WARNING - OFF TOPIC *** 😇 Lidl have a 16 y.o. Islay for Xmas at £34.99. There's a forum I'm on where most folk seem to think it's a Bowmore.

Big fave of mine. Finished a bottle of the 12 y.o. a couple of weeks back which was down to £30. Boon na havvin. Mouth of the river.

He's getting shown up every week since he signed for the wee team in the big league.

Hope the 300 doesn’t include too many sweetie rustlers and they can cheer the boys on to 3 points today 😜

Yeah the trouble is I don’t have a laptop so it would need to be a long cable 😜 Ok this might be a goer, thanks 👍

I came home in time for the second half and got connected no problem. Much improved but as OCG says, I’m sure we could get somebody with a genuine connection to the club. Sure, Andy needs to get more experience, but maybe he can get it on somebody else’s time. Did anybody watching on a phone or tablet notice if there was a casting option? I have a so-called smart tv which works fine for Netflix but can’t seem to connect to the internet for anything else. So watching the games I have to use a 27” iMac and so far Mrs Mantis is being a bit obstreperous about dragging armchairs into another room 😂 Also being a Panasonic there’s no YouTube app as apparently they’ve stopped talking to each other, so I have to cast YouTube from my tablet which is no great hardship I suppose.

Got a ticket for the Czechia game at Hampden, hope I get to use it.

Mrs Mantis and the son in law took 20 mins to scrape me off the ceiling 🤩 We are all Ryan Christie.

I think it’s a soft drink from the 70s.

Baz was at the wind-up.

Is there a prize for spotting the deliberate mistake 😉

Just checked with my mate who supports Liverpool. He says £14.50.

That’s shocking. Maybe they think they got relegated to the EPL.

Got mine this morning. Looks terrific at first glance.

What are Hearts using then? Think they've only had TV games so far.

I was in it today on an iPad and also a desktop And both times I was already logged in from last week. Although it’s not the most intuitive site I had no bother reaching the bit to buy the Arbroath game. You have to choose the “subscribe “ option as all the others are dead ends.

Of the new players I’ve probably been most impressed by Scott Allardice, considering he’s already got a handful of clubs and loans by the age of 22 which never usually augurs well (see Jordan White). I think Duffy and Deas have had reasonably decent starts and could easily be regular starters given what else we have (Toshney injury prone and McHattie a bit lightweight). I was never a big Devine fan (was anybody?) but I have a warm fuzzy feeling that this is the Second Coming 😂 and once in the team he could be hard to shift. To be fair even Brad wasn’t too bad yesterday and the three at the back did a reasonable job. Apart from Allardice I thought we were pretty light in midfield without Welsh and getting Doran/Carson back would be massive. Keatings is a decent finisher but is never going to lead the line so quite interested to see if Shane can step up. I think we’ve got the makings of a side that doesn’t leak goals but what’s going to stop us going up is the same problem as the last 3 years, a 20 goals striker.

The don’t have a bar like his one in North Korea. In fact the concept of “bars” is probably a bit different...

Maybe SPFL’s fault rather than the club. I would try [email protected]

FTFY.

Camera really should have been on the West side, that’s probably down to ICT. No zooms, no replays, terrible AI, terrible commentator, just ICT getting what you pay for I suppose. Anybody know what cut ICT get from this SPFL deal? Presumably the Pars made a reasonable profit from 1700 subscribers last week doing it in-house.
