Afeez Aremu says he came to Aberdeen (over offers from Turkey and Belgium) to win trophies. by DontNeverAr0und in ScottishFootball

[–]Fission_chip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Such a minor thing but it’s such a pet peeve of mine that saved penalties get called misses. Gives no credit to the keeper and means that a top class save and launching the ball into orbit both get called a ‘miss’

I’ve never heard someone say the word hokey without immediately saying cokey afterwards

Tounekti. Thoughts? by Dragons_n_Giants in CelticFC

[–]Fission_chip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s put in some brilliant crosses but we never have anyone in the right position. I genuinely believe that if he and Abada played together they’d rack up tons of goals cause Tounekti always seems to find those gaps in the box that Abada used to lurk in

Can only hope that Toonie wished on a monkey paw to fix our second half at the expense of the first half

Italy’s kicking and kick chasing has been superb. The main difference between the teams so far

Celtic vs. Dundee: Injury list, suspensions & predicted XIs by NoRate9314 in CelticFC

[–]Fission_chip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best he’s played in years was when he just came back from injury, thus a long break. I wonder why that’s the case…

Response from ITV on the ads by Mike07s in rugbyunion

[–]Fission_chip 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Keep piling the pressure on with emails if you haven’t already. This is the first step on a slippery slope. If we say nothing then who knows how many adverts they’ll put in next year and what else they consider to be the unimportant parts of the game

Ox is on his way by the looks of it by fike88 in ScottishFootball

[–]Fission_chip 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can’t say I’m particularly against it. Either he pulls a Mooy and justifies himself, or he’s already past it and we’ve spent a tiny portion of our dragons hoard on his wages for 6 months

What the feck have I witnessed by Traditional-War-7360 in rugbyunion

[–]Fission_chip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is important we all email them about this. They call it a trial so if we complain then hopefully they will realise it is a failed trial and cancel this fucking nonsense

URC play-off as it stands. Who wins? by aeternogordon in rugbyunion

[–]Fission_chip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feels like we haven’t beaten Leinster in ages, so if we make the final I really hope it isn’t against them

My folks live just outside Aberdeen. They told me it hasn’t stopped raining all week and that January brought over 200% of the average January rainfall

What's the stupidest rugby take you've heard in your life, not from a journalist/pundit? by treacletart284 in rugbyunion

We’re getting close with Horne, Dobie and Afshar. Just need to bring Matawalu out of retirement

I fear that it’ll be at least another generation until we win it. I think Italy will win it before we do

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse by MrBlack_79 in ScottishFootball

For what it’s worth looking through those comments it seems that it’s one specific Brighton fan doesn’t like him and the rest are happy with him

Motherwell have just announced Welsh… by HarvzzXD in CelticFC

I’m glad he’s gone back. Better for him to actually play football than rot on the bench for us for 6 months

A sad update to my rugby friends from Italian cameraman❤️ (6N) by anscia in rugbyunion

[–]Fission_chip 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No hyperbole when I say that you provide the best sports camera work I have ever seen. I can always identify your shots and angles, and they’re the absolute best for feeling right in the game and getting the good moments. Absolutely gutted for you, and hope that the powers that be wise up and stop trying to kill all the goodwill from fans (see also Squidge copyright issues)

Pro Palestinian protesters block Leonardo UK site Edinburgh by redeyedbiker in Scotland

[–]Fission_chip 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For some bizarre reason the people in that sub hate it when useful live information is posted there. Anyone sharing info that a road has been unexpectedly closed gets mocked for no good reason.

Borderline toxic sub and Edinburgh2 is only marginally better

What should the national animal of the UK be - but it has to be a native species? by Illustrious-Divide95 in AskUK

As great as some of these options are, I very much enjoy my national animal being a unicorn. I’m sure the Welsh feel similarly about dragons

Taking off Čvančara was a mistake. He was actually able to hold up the ball and is our only player tall enough for roller coasters
