I like big Lee. Seems like he would be fun to get pissed with but might fall over a lot at the end of the night
Seem to remember a Scotsport argument where Andy Wanker said as soon as you get contact in the box you should fall to the ground, and Graham Spiers retorted "Would you throw yourself to the ground if you bumped into someone on the street?"

I'd imagine Lee Miller avoids Union Street at all costs; just think of all those prams and old ladies that could bump into him!? He could fly under a bus!

I personally thought he got hit quite hard to fall down but that's just my opinion. We won so that's all I care about just now!

It was deceiving... as a Hippopotamus disguised as a right back brushed past him, which would make it look like a hard challenge I agree. However, I also feel that Ronnie Corbett making the the same challenge would result in Miller falling down like that, such is my belief of his diving tendencies.

It was no comfort to know that I had indeed predicted his tumble...

Onwards and upwards though, Gretna tomorrow. My heart says win, my coupon says draw.

I gotta say that I'm amazed people are even debating the Miller penalty incident. Forme, there is no doubt the referee got it spot on. A clumsy barge from behind by a defender nowhere near the ball will ALWAYS have the same result. Why are people criticising Miller for getting fouled? It's Tokely who should be getting the stick for getting on the wrong side then making a panic challenge.

Love from Christy

To be fair, all diving and "deceiving" aside, I think if Inverness were a team with guts and balls, they would have mashed Aberdeen long before the penalty.

Aberdeen had a field of very limited players playing out of position. If it weren't for dodgy penalty decisions this season, we'd be firmly in the bottom six.

Aye... Pretty obvious from the tv that it was a daft challenge. Miller knew what he was doing but didn't look to go down too easily. He probably knew there was chance of being hoofed over and fouled by the defender and played it out as is a 'footballers' want. He had worked hard to get there though.

I'm not laying my coupon until near kick off tomorrow in case anything gets frozen/snowed off.

Thistle are at Perth Legoland tomorrow. 17 quid to get in? Fuck off.

Going pretty fucking dreadfully for the Toon at the moment. Rumours today suggesting that Big Sam is about to punt Emre for Steve Sidwell or Kevin Nolan (who are nothing players, in my opinion) .

I like Big Sam and I think he should be given at least until the end of the season to prove himself, but he seems hell bent on replacing every creative/flair player we have in the squad with some bloody hopeless grafter. Not saying that Emre is some kind of midfield genius or anything, but he's a heck of a lot more exciting to watch than Butt, Geremi, Smith and Barton, and he does try to drag us away from the disgusting long ball crap we've been playing this season. Not only that but he's dug us out of the shite a couple of times this year too.

Can you imagine a midfield of Nolan - Butt - Barton in Big Sam's beloved 4-3-3 formation? Jesus wept.

All graft and no flair makes me very sad
