The visiting support began the second half with a telling off for launching snowballs at the home goalkeeper, with the referee halting the game momentarily because of safety concerns. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67515259Classic RollingEscargot. |

Morning all! Leatherglovesblog: I’ve watched too many war films to see these as anything other than Nazi-officer/Gestapo apparel. How many pairs do you own? |

I watched the second half. They had to stop the game for 15 minutes to clear the snow from the pitch. Classic Finland. |

I remember a game in 1992 or 1993 where the game was called off at half time due to snow. My team was leading 2-0, prompting an ostentatiously half-hearted attempt to clear the pitch using brooms whose heads kept mysteriously falling off. The match was replayed 4 days later and we won 7-0. Thinking about it still makes me happy.

A 0-7 away win.
Even better.
it's a long way from Aberdeen to Glasgow for an abandoned game.
The only game I can remember not finishing once it started was v Crewe about 30 years ago. An absolute deluge. It was 0-0 at the time. we won the rematch 3-0.
I've been at games that were held up for over an hour for floodlight failure and for rioting (not the same game) but they were both played to the end eventually.
I think we left before the restart both times. After an hour or so it didn't seem likely either game would restart.
That was a proper riot, not farting around with flares like last night at VP. Our fans broke up the hoardings and battered the police with them.

Here's a curious thing. I have a funeral to go to in a couple of weeks, the word has been spread - but not to Tootsie. The creature insists that it wants to go, but doesn't have the details for a good reason. The deceased hated Toots, but this fact has gone over it's head.
Anyway, we're all going, under orders not to let the thing know.
A conspiracy of epic proportions.

Easy fix, book one for her and tell her that it's the one she wants to go to.
Or spike the local supply with fentanyl to.prevent her arriving?

Lies of P depends a lot on guarding and perfect guarding, basically a timed parry, one of the things I'm terrible at, so the game's not for me. 4*
<edit>Of course I go to twitch and MissMikkaa is beating the game using a dance-pad.

Parrying?! Who the hell do they think we are, the French?!
Weapon in each hand, steam in, arms windmilling at 100 miles an hour. Take that, Gerry!

Don't explain anything other than the family have specific orders, but only if you feel inclined to say. |

Folk that have given up booze are the new vegans. Can you even give up booze without blogging about it or filling your social media?

I gave up booze for hours this week without mentioning it.

Interesting times in the women's football with the Nations league, England are second on goal difference with the Dutch, 4-1, everyone is saying that the Dutch have to drop points against Belgium and England beat Scotland to qualify for the knockouts.
But this could be an Austria/Germany thing, because if England win the tournament then GB team will qualify for the Olympics, which will of course include Scottish players.
Of course no collusion could happen between the 2 but...
<edit>Of course if they didn't lose 2 games by conceding in the 85' and 90' minutes they wouldn't be in this mess.

I've watched HIGNFY. It's worth trying to view just for the few seconds where they show the Greek national press reaction to Tiny Sunaks 'snub' of the Greek prime Minister. 5*

I believe that one of the Greek papers referred to him as a 'Flipping Budgerigar'. I think that was it.
