  1. Are you suggesting that fit healthy young men refusing a vaccination for the protection of others who may not be quite so fortunate is not a selfish act ?
  2. I understand that in the English Premiership over a quarter of the players have refused to be vaccinated which may be contributing to the slew of postponements we are seeing just now. I would hope that at our level such selfish lunacy is much less prevalent.
  3. You should check out the first goal scored by Diego Maradona in the 1986 World Cup quarter finals. Decidedly more epic.....
  4. My middle aged memory plays tricks on me these days but I seem to remember Brian Thompson's OG in our Scottish Cup quarter final against Rangers at Tannadice being pretty spectacular too.
  5. I too agree. Disappointing to be out of all three knockout tournaments but we now have the advantage of being able to focus on one prize and it is a huge one.
  6. Not long after his brother was jailed for embezzling thousands of pounds from their grandad. The Adams family continue to Fester.
  7. The longer the likes of Allardice and McGregor go under the radar of larger clubs the better.
  8. A great Christmas present, reasonably priced,for anyone, particularly in the Inverness area keen to watch a team generally playing attractive football and well in the hunt for promotion and maybe even the league title or indeed anyone wishing to treat themselves.
  9. You beat me to it. Absolutely agree. Whilst I don't think it's probable, with the effect of the new omicron variant being unknown, there remains the possibility that the season could be terminated early so, as you say, now that we have regained top spot, there is a huge additional incentive to hold onto it.
  10. On the foorball front, I am probably more worried about the effects of injury and suspension rather than Covid which is why, if at all possible from a financial point of view, that we strengthen in the transfer window. This is probably our best opportunity to get back into the Premiership since we were relegated.
  11. A great guy and what a dead ball specialist who probably scored more goals directly from corners than any professional footballer in history. Just think what a player he could have been if he didn't get through 2 pie suppers and 30 fags a day !
  12. You didn't miss much. We were fortunate to scrape a win
  13. I can imagine that the bus trip back to the Highlands will be a very happy one indeed. Well done to all the travelling fans who were richly rewarded today.
  14. Wonderful. Much much much more like it and that boost to our goal difference could make a difference come the end of the season. We started our league campaign with five consecutive wins and, on this form, there is no reason why we can't go on to match or even better that continuing at home to Hamilton next week. All we have now is the league but that always was the biggest prize of all this season and we need to keep our eyes now very firmly on that prize.
  15. Seven consecutive league victories to better our run at the start of the season.
  16. Possibly, why on earth have you given a penalty?
  17. No excuses, no matter how poor the dressing room facilities, we must beat a poor Morton side at the third time of asking.
  18. It has now been brought to my attention that there has emerged mobile 'phone footage of someone somewhat resembling me enquiring whether those present at the socially distanced gathering with snacks whether they had enjoyed their Christmas dinner. It was of course 25th December 2020 which was the anniversary of 25th December 2019 when such things were permissible and it is only reasonable that on the anniversary one should enquire as to the events of a year before. However, if it transpires that I have misled the members of this forum in any way, however inadvertently, I will of course do the honourable thing and make sure that someone, maybe several someones, take full responsibility. In the meantime, can anyone sub me a few quid for some paint and a few rolls of wallpaper?
  19. As a supporter of independence, I toast the fact that Boris Johnston is in Downing Street every single day.
  20. Me too. Their recent league form has been abysmal, especially given their budget, but they have enjoyed success in the League Cup and had a decent start to the league season before their current slump. I would have thought that he merited at least another month.
  21. On 25th December last year I attended, and for that matter cooked, a meal of smoked salmon, Scotch broth, turkey, Brussel sprouts, kilted sausages, bread sauce and roast potatoes finished off by fruit pudding and brandy all washed down with sparkling wine and crackers were pulled and paper hats worn. Although all those round the table were from my immediate household, I have now been quizzed as to whether this was Christmas dinner rather than the snack with colleagues that I have always claimed it to be. In the circumstances, I have tasked the dog to investigate and report back just as soon as her species evolves sufficiently to complete the task.
  22. HT; Morton 0, ICT 1 FT; Morton 1, ICT 2 ICT; Sutherland Morton; Oliver Crowd; 1,294
  23. It wasn't for the want of trying with the first visits to the Longman being in utero followed by infant sized strips. However, I am pleased and proud that they have decided to support their local team rather than one of the ugly sisters and sincerely hoping for the ability to rub their noses in league victories over the Dons again next season as once was so often the case in the past.
  24. and just the stocking filler to wind up my Aberdeen supporting sons.
  25. A small club that we have failed to overcome in two recent attempts. If we are to maintain our title challenge with any credibility then that has to change on Saturday and certain players have to step up to the mark no matter what, very legitimate sounding, complainants they may have about the changing facilities.
