Durrant Dived


Recommended Posts


Must had gotten the first family VHS recorder shortly before this as I recorded the highlights and watched them again and again. Had no idea the significance of the game at the time. 'Woods stays, Nicholas scores'

 

I was there but I don't remember much as I was to young, I'm sure I got that season review the Christmas after and I remember that line by the commentator and the bounce in the south stand.  Don't think the Simpson tackle made the cut for some reason.

Sportscene editor probably worried Durrant would be cited for his blatant dive

I hope to fuck the 'undisclosed sum' Simpson and Durrant settled out of court for was just a note from Simpson telling Durrant to 'Suck my Two European Trophy winning cock, you overrated  little shitbag'.

 

A fucking Coaly Bag off the pitch with a suspected knee injury?

 

Surely to fuck any competent lawyer would have got Durrant's case thrown out just for the fact that there's no medical directive on the planet that suggests a fucking coaly bag as the correct means of securing a knee injury. They might as well have tied a rope to Durrant's ankle and dragged him off the pitch behind a fucking tractor. 

 

I will take the opportunity to promote this incredible tribute to the quality of the tackle, and highlight exactly how it was Durrant's own ineptitude and lack of vision that caused the injury to his knee in the first place.... now accented in a lovely dark oak frame above my desk where I can marvel at the skill and dedication of one of Aberdeen's favourite sons on a daily... nay, minute by minute... basis. 

 

Lovely stuff.

Marvellous sentiment.

 

Also, I've just realised after years of seeing your posts associated with that profile pic, that it's the boy from the Evil Dead.

Nice.

 

Evil Dead 2 was one of the most hilarious visits I ever had to a Cinema.

Fantastic stuff.

Phil Boersma.....they were teammates at Boro'

 

He was deffo the physio for oldco

That was his role, yes. But a physiotherapist he was not. The only qualifications he had was a magic sponge certificate. He also went on to be one the coaches after the Durrant debacle.

Is the magic sponge certificate covered by the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974?

Amazing. Can I order one from you?

I was there, in the South about 5 rows back. I had a great view of it.

 

That whole game was a hatefest from start to finish, as were most of the Dons v Huns game of that era. The press would have you believe that the bad blood between the two clubs started there, but we hated each other long before that. 

 

Sad to say our dear departed Tattie Cooper had a major part to play in the poisonous atmosphere. He was out to make a name for himself in a scum jersey that day (I think it was his first time back at Pittodrie) following an injury hit spell at Villa and was skittling players left right and centre. Scored the opener too.

Was in the mainer

Couldn't really see it from that angle, then when you see it on TV ooft.

 

Used to have a blown up photocopy of the dive photo on my wall at uni, caused a few issues in Glasgow but ho hum

 

As an aside the tabloid scum came sniffing about Simmie's home village as he had moved out of home when they were camped outside. Got a friendly welcome - pwoud of the shire folk.

Lovely artwork.

 

Does the original 'stickman' re-enactment from 10? years ago still exist? That was brilliant aswell.

 

I do have a copy of it somewhere on one of my external Hard Drives (I have about 15 external Hard Drives), but it's in one of them somewhere. I'd have to hunt through it to find it. If I recall correctly, someone got a hoody with that pic on it, which I thought was brilliant

I could probably supply this in poster form to anyone who wants one, but I'd have to look through my external Hard Drives (I have about 15 external Hard Drives) to find the original artwork so I could send it off to the printers. 

 

I guess if anyone does want a print then DM me (is that a thing on this site?) with where they'd want it sent.

Why do yew need 15 external hard drives?

 

@@Police

 

I have all my client data (in the terabytes) held locally with RAID 5 striped/distributed parity for redundancy, spread across multiple Hard drives. That takes up about half a dozen drives.

 

All my movies, albums, and books are held locally, that takes up about another 4, I imagine.

 

Then there's my porn, random downloads like documentaries and fitba, porn, old data transfered to external from PCs for the last 15-20 years because I horde data, and of course porn.

 

I keep nothing on the cloud... I have exactly 0 data stored on X-Drive... because I know online security is non-existent. If you store information on the cloud then it'll be accessed any time some random decides to do so. So, fuck that. I strongly recommend all meaningful data be stored locally with redundancy.
