  1. Unlucky. There's nowt worse than blowing a lead, all too familiar with that.

    Ran up another 9-0 against the Lassies only to chuck away a perfectly winnable game against the Western last week, I only played the pairs but we should have taken our game. Redhall tomorrow comes under 'must win'....

  2. Scorge household Monopoly was played to the book until we came into a second set, then it turned into pretend hyper-capitalism gone mad: double the starting money along with the free parking bounty, and then an 'unlimited hotels' rule which once saw a roll on Mayfair cost £12000. Ooof.

    Anyone remember the Crystal Maze board game? That was the absolute tits.....

  3. My Uncle Neil is playing for the Royal this year, so you'll get to see the family magic in action ;-)

    Already have, saw him win his Superleague game at Brechin. The man has got skillz!

  4. Reading in the paper that Rangers could make a move for Michael Fink. Why would anyone sign for Rangers at this moment in time?

    Filthy £££, I presume!

    Fat Sally clearly has no confidence in his ability so has no option to go and buy the league (and the referees, based on yesterday) rather than blend a team together. I hope Forres dig in and get their cup tie at home, give those overpaid merecenaries another uncomfortable afternoon next month....

  5. You playing for the LK team?

    Yeah, there's been quite a few call-offs so I got asked yesterday if I'd have a go at it.

    Excited, nervous and terrified, just like the seconds leading up to being devirginised all over again....

    (Just remembered that the Angus singles competition is on Sunday so might do that instead of hillwalking, depending on how tonight goes....)

  6. Trains. Specifically, to London. Why does anyone get the train to London from Aberdeen?

    Most of the reasons have been covered, but I'd add that you don't have to worry about baggage charges and being skinned on the way back. Or paying stupid credit/debit card surcharges, which the 'budget' airlines seem to have a hard-on for.

    Put simply, I hate air travel more than by rail.....

  7. Meet the new Scum, same as the old Scum!

    Biggest laugh of the afternoon was at the Hedgies equaliser and the home support singing 'Are you Forfar in disguise?' Plenty of Sevco mercenaries earning their SPL wage packets on that showing!

    Nice win for Montrose yesterday, albeit against a ropey HL side....

  8. Tonight - Couple of snifters in Brewdog before a very noisy gig at the Tunnels (my first of the year!)

    Tomorrow - Lakeside darts qualifiers in Smokieville (faint hope, but still) then a lot of beers I'd imagine.

    Sunday - Massive clearout of stuff for Ebay. Possibly a CD/DVD cannon list on here, I'll see...

  9. Not even close i fear, the SFA will now step in and overrule this, and i would imagine push for an SPL2.

    SPL2 is a massive bluff, not even chancers like Regan and Donkeymaster will get it through (that's if they stay in post, vote of no-confidence rumoured to have been taken too!)

    Wonder how many 'loyal' currant buns will turn up at Ochilview in the pissing rain on a Tuesday night in December if their patchwork ensemble of under 18's and remaining mercenaries are getting cannoned regularly? Not many I'll wager!

  10. Nae fun Spoons :( Keep digging with the practise and if yer not making headway with the team the open tourneys sound like a good way to get yourself in the shop window if it comes to that.

    Got 2-4 weeks to work out where I'll be nesting next term...

  11. Sounds good! Matty was telling me about that last game, that's his practice partner. I've been on holiday in Munich all week so a bit rusty tonight (and tired) but darts tomorrow night so I'll see how I get on then and if I get a throw!)

    You get a chuck?

    Aye, it was a cracking day, and the spears continued in the Royal late into the evening as you'd expect. Really hyped up to practise all that bit more after getting a bit lousy over the last month...

  12. So, the Granite City Open then:

    Got in just after 11am, found myself on board 13 (as omens go, nae brilliant) and went with lager/shandy in hand (unlike some I was actually trying to pace myself!) straight into practise routines for around 45 mins. Was drawn to play third against a guy I didn't recognise (later said he played Ellon league) who turned out to be a pretty even match, not stunning but not a total muppet either!

    Couldn't get scoring first game at all and went 1 down within sight of a double, but then I smacked a 24 darter in the next leg for 1-1. Third leg saw me outscore him but I made a pigs ear of things with 54 left, the first attempt saw my dart slip into the treble, the second saw me miss the D18 by a skerrick. 1-2.

    The next two legs both saw me getting outscored, far too many nervy darts clipping the T1 or flying off into the 12/18. Even so, I got two darts at D17 to level the game but I put them just under. 1-3 down, and I never recovered after that: too many stray shots in the 5th and he took it out with me waiting on 60. 1-4.

    Good day out though, and there were some good showings from the LDDL'ers, one of whom got to his board final against Mark Barilli: he lost 4-1, but gave him a heck of a game (Barilli was having to smack in 12/14 darters to win.)

  13. No asterisks?!?!

    The perils of drunk posting!

    (To clarify the previous post, a few Montrose regulars tend to have one random away trip per year down south, Whitby Town is being touted for this year. Criteria mainly includes diddy towns with a truckload of pubs...)
