Bill 13,717 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Aberdeen had their chance to complain when Rangers were asking for support to remove the SFA/SPFL leadership but of course were happy to keep their heads down. Horrible club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible club. Their appeal was ridiculous. I felt the same as they do when Ryan Jack was retrospectively banned for a similar challenge, vs Aberdeen from memory (I could be wrong). However football has moved on and it doesn’t matter if you win the ball if you then recklessly following through and endanger your opponent. That said, the additional ban was equally silly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,082 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Aberdeen 2 PAOK 3. The Dandies were leading 2-zip with twenty minutes left on the clock. The Ref' denies the Dons a clear penalty too. Anyways, the Greeks bring it back to 2--2 and in the final action of five minutes added on, he awards PAOK a penalty. The conversion is literally the last kick of the ball. It was robbery, a genuine Greek tragedy and, fcuking marvellous. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,929 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Scottish SPCA will check on welfare of Britain’s loneliest sheep Steep cliffs and poor weather have prevented rescue efforts Mike Merritt, Lizzie Roberts Thursday October 26 2023, 10.00pm, The Times The sheep, whose fleece has grown so large it trails along the ground, is trapped on a stretch of beach about half a mile from the Cromarty Firth JILL TURNER/PETER JOLLY/NORTHPIX Britain’s loneliest sheep, which has been stranded at the foot of a cliff for two years, will be monitored by animal welfare experts “when the weather allows”. The sheep was first spotted near Balintore, Easter Ross, by Jill Turner in 2021 but when she returned to the same spot this year she saw what she believed to be the same sheep, only with a very overgrown fleece. The animal’s plight has been brought to the attention of the Scottish SPCA, the animal welfare charity, which said it would now monitor its health. “The Scottish SPCA is aware of the sheep that is stranded at the bottom of a cliff,” Mike Flynn, chief superintendent of the Scottish SPCA, said. “The sheep has ample grazing in the area but we have not been able to ascertain who the sheep belongs to. We will continue to have further checks when the weather allows and it is safe to do so.” A rescue mission would be likely to require specialist equipment because of the difficult terrain, but it is understood a farmer has previously looked into how the sheep could be retrieved from the seashore. Drones have apparently been sent into the area to check on its welfare. The sheep was first spotted two years ago when Turner was on a kayaking trip between Balintore and Nigg but it was felt the animal would be able to find its own way to fields above the cliffs. She said of the first sighting: “About half a mile before turning into the Cromarty Firth we spotted a sheep on a shingle beach at the bottom of some steep, rocky coastline. “She saw us coming and was calling to us along the length of the beach, following our progress until she could go no further. She finally turned back, looking defeated.” Turner was shocked to see the same animal at the beach on a recent paddle around the Cromarty Firth. “She called out on our approach and once again followed the group along the shore, jumping from rock to rock, calling to us the whole way,” she said. “Her fleece on the first occasion was a normal year’s growth. However, on the recent trip the fleece was huge and touching the ground at the back.” She added: “The poor ewe has been on her own for at least two years — for a flock animal that has to be torture, and she seemed desperate to make contact with us on the two occasions we’ve gone past her. “It is heart-rending. We honestly thought she might make her way back up that first year. After the storm at the weekend I worry about whether she survived. With huge seas coming in and a deluge of water pouring down the gullies, it must have been traumatic for her, if not fatal.” The sheep is not of the same breed as those belonging to farmers in the local area. It is thought it could have been part of a flock that was temporarily on nearby grazings. Turner said that the landowner had made several attempts over the past couple of years to get to the ewe but has had to abandon rescue attempts for various reasons, mainly due to the dangerous landscape. “The highlighting of this case has caused him quite some concern, fearing people randomly turning up trying to be the hero and getting injured,” she said. Turner added: “I walked along the top of the cliffs and located the bay from above. It is really steep with difficult access due to gorse, bracken and fencing. “The shore is shallow and has easy access. What we need is a semi-ridged inflatable that can go in, and for at least one of my farming friends to go along with a dog and capture her. I have had sheep myself so I think it’s possible, and so do they. “We did see some guys in such a boat the first year, hauling up creels, possibly from Cromarty, so maybe a fisherman could help. She deserves to be rescued and given a good few years with other sheep. So hopefully she will make it back to a flock soon.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
