26th of foot

Doing the Broony.

We have entered League Cup final week, both Rangers and Aberdeen each have a Euro' fixture to complete before Sunday at Hampden. The Dandies are at home to Eintracht Frankfurt with a 17.45 hrs kick off. Rangers travel to Seville to face Real Betis with a 20.00 hrs start time. Thus, the Dons will be loused and ready for bed by the time we endure a couple of hours hard graft folllow followed by a four plus hour flight back to Glasgow. Friday will be a right off and Saturday will be a walk around Auchenhowie before a loosening game of fives. Raising the Scottish coefficient alone is arduous.

Of course, neither the broadcast or the print media mention this because Scotland's other two representatives in Euro' football are facing ,'Dead Rubbers'. The PQ Gang Hut have already chorused, "Barry can field any side he wants" or in other words, 'fcuk the coefficient'. Such a dearly held principle during Pedro's tenure too? There is a continuing preparation for the final and it is the constant reminder on Rangers and penalties. If only opposition defenders would refrain from grasping and holding Rangers players jerseys in the penalty box.

Today, it is Scott Brown's turn not to have an original thought. He has been reminded Rangers have not conceded a penalty since he retired. The Lego chewer concludes, "Aberdeen have no chance of a penalty on Sunday". Anesthetised by the taste of Danish plastic, Scott conveniently forgets ie no one told him, that Rangers have had two penalties awarded against them in this year's League Cup. Surely, that is more relevant and how many have Aberdeen conceded in this season's competition?

There are only five sleeps to go, let us hope Referee, Don Robertson gets the message. It is not for want of trying.

That was the Week that was.

The SFA organise a ticket shambles for those intending to attend Germany next summer for the Euros, even managed to get the dates of two games wrong in their blurb.

Have Aberdeen sold their cup final allocation?

Sellik are defeated for the second time this season by Killie at Rugby Park.

I could go on, what did RAB Cosgrove and Tam the Token fixate upon over the weekend?

They finished their show by spinning a record dedicated to Rangers player, Todd Cantwell. It was a 1983 track from Culture Club's Kissing to be Clever album, 'I'll tumble 4 ya'.

Rangers must be participating in a final this week.

Would Killie's Danny Armstrong add to our right side going forward?

Anytime I have watched the lad he has been impressive including the game last season when he saw red against us at Rugby Park.

Would he be another Jordan Jones?

I hope they did not have to sign a non disclosure agreement. Gersnet is all about opinions so it's a shame that you did not share it widely,.

I am not here to share my opinions.

I have set in stone principles and if you disagree, I have a few others you may like?

Why did Dessers not have a shot with that chance in the 2nd half.

 

Needs to hit rather than take so many touches

Robsons coat must be on a shoogly peg. To think if we hadnt given them the points we did he would likley be gone by now.

 

Hopefully the cup final see's justice done and Robson on the dole.

Hearts could emerge victorious from Pittodrie this coming Saturday. If so, will the narrative change to will Robson get the cup final? Could the Dandies emulate Hibs, ie removing Jack Ross from the Easter Road hotseat the week before the League Cup final?

Paying the Penalty.

Ten sleeps until Hampden and last nights league games have provided another few threads to the cup final tapestry. BBC Scotland's second Dandy, Liam McLeod began his pre-match ramble with, "This is Hearts - Rangers third meeting in five and a half weeks, the first at Ibrox appeared to be a comfortable Hearts victory until the controversial award of that injury time penalty to Rangers ................... ". Like Big Dick Gordon, Liam is intent upon maintaining pressure on the appointed match officials. Three games in a row and no penalty award to Rangers. 

Liam was too exasperated during the last fifteen minutes of his match commentary from Tynecastle to mention Sellik being awarded their ninth penalty of the season against Hibs. Liam was concentrating so hard, willing the Jambos to equalise that the news of Killie's winner at Pittodrie was a barely whispered interruption. What advice will Liam offer Big Dick reference the penning of his next Aberdeen P and J column?

The penalty being paid by Aberdeen for a 0-1 defeat by Killie is they are second bottom of the table on 13 points and have a goal difference of minus nine. A third of their points total and over a quarter of goals scored have come in their two games against Rangers. Aberdeen players and staff are cheating the Dons supporters because the stats reveal they only raise an effort when confronted by Rangers.

Perhaps Liam and Big Dick could expend more effort quantifying their specific hatred this week in the P and J? 

Our passing throughout the first half has traveled the spectrum from ragged to sloppy.

Danilo, we have found him once and he failed to finish. Danilo's movement dropping deeper, gave Tav' the room and time for the pass to Sima for our goal.

I see he finished last behind the Scottish Family Party, that’s not easily done.

Sounds like he was a victim of nepotism.

How much does a pint of beer cost in a pub 

Since Lockdown, I am conditioned to presenting my credit card thus cannot say with accuracy the price of a pint. 

A Howf in deepest, darkest Lanarkshire would be charging circa £4 a pint of lager(Tennents), Heavy would be 20 pence more. My local takes £4.70 for Heverlee.

Bar'72 has been a cashless bar these last two seasons, credit card only.

Yep. “seated” not “sat”.

You'll need a seat in Bar'72 when you find out a pint of Heverlee is £5.70.

Big Dick was the AmDram Quine of Fintry for thirty years.

A trendy thespian ready to give it lots of pathos whilst delivering Rangers hating lines.

Returning from yesterday's game in the car, a couple of mates and myself had a discussion on the similarities between Sima and Sakala.

Both players take you up the park, both players commit opposition defenders and, both have an end product. I like both players for reasons outlined and I know Sima has notched a dozen goals in a misfiring team but, I prefer Sakala because he always got the shot off. I was not always enamoured with the destination of said shot.

I'm the Marquis of Melton Mowbray and I like Stilton.

I believe in Scotland the Marquis of Melton Mowbray prefers his other monikor, 'Lord Pork Pie'.

Of course the ultimate test of etiquette must be applied : do you cut your stilton with a knife or do you prefer a spoon?

Are we allocating designations?

I bags, 'Ayatolla of Gorgonzola'.

Love a bit of blue cheese.
