Paulco 7,047 Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) And you can guess what i want for my birthday , a Tigers home win and the forces of darkness sent back along the M8 to tricktrackland pointless . Yes it's the biggee , Scotlands finest against Satan's seven , or six or how many they rock up with . I believe we have Connor Mountain as guest reserve , while they have Broc Nicol as their reserve replacement . As both their Swedes got Armadaled apparently during Friday night's latest home slaughter , but Victor Palavaara is expected to ride on Tuesday . So Cookie , Bomber and the lads will have to bring their 'A' game to the track , while we bring the beer tokens and the anti-smug spray . Going to be a nervy , but entertaining evening as the play off thingy goes right to the wire . C'mon the Stripes Edited September 9, 2018 by Paulco 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon the Stripes A red & white zimmer to match your concessionary bus pass holder Expect a comfortable home win with an untroubled 15 for Cookie. Also sure the Tigs will pick up at least 3 points at the weekend to ensure top four qualification. P.S. hope Connor Mountain's Sunday afternoon prang does not prevent him from guesting for you on Tuesday, as it will be interesting to how the "Real Tigers" guest reserves shape up against each other.

A year away from the bus pass yet , by which time the SNP might have withdrawn it . So a Tigers win will suffice . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,622 Posted September 10, 2018 Need a massive performance from the top 5 as I don’t see us scoring anything from reserve tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way many happy returns to one of the most admired supporter on this forum, although I hope your day ends c@@p :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenway Bleachers 2,665 Posted September 10, 2018 Many happy returns indeed. Some Buckfast repellent spray on its way in the birthday parcel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerforever 86 Posted September 10, 2018 My first post, Have just read that Conor Mountain is injured and misses tomorrow nights meeting and will be replaced by Jordan Stewart. Think that makes it all the harder for the Tigers as I believe Mountain was a shrewd choice of guest who could have made a huge difference looking at some of his Premiership scores.

Endeavour 675 Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Weather not looking good. Bucketing at Dampden, Sorry Hampden tonight. Edited September 10, 2018 by Endeavour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,299 Posted September 10, 2018 The reserve changes look to be a game changer. Connor Mountain is out and Jordan Stewart replaces him. He was absolutely woeful when up with Redcar, I've already lost hope of getting any points out of him. Broc Nicol for the 0131 looks far more promising, he might take a heat to get going but I think he'll like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 675 Posted September 10, 2018 forecast not great for Friday either. Hard lines on ANY team losing out due to incomplete matches. Look at Berwick, invested in covers, home matches completed, thwarted by weather at Ipswich and at Edinburgh. Think an extension should be granted again to 23rd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think an extension should be granted again to 23rd Cant agree on extending the deadline or extending it by a week last time. Everyone knew what it was at the start, its up to them to achieve it, bearing in mind there have been so few fixtures to run this year compared to last, and during the best summer in 20 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
