Photo-shoppery - an excellent word surely invented in medival times. A very amusing picture - did the dons win?

I've just nominated this photo for the Scotland Blog.
Love Guinness and hate footy but this has to be one of the best captured, timed and topical photos I've seen for a long time.

i suppose the match ended in pen-alties ?

look like normal aberdonians to me, more casual violence than casual knitwear, or woolens if you prefer...

cheeky concept anyway.

A++++. We don't have "football hooligans" in the states... a real pity. This photo makes me want to drink guiness, smash an innocent telephone booth, and then lay down in the gutter crying myself to drunken oblvion, in a good way.

Ms. Pants says:

I just found this on deviantart.com. I thought it looked familiar. The d.a. profile says the guy is in Italy and I believe you're in Glasgow. Is this your d.a. profile, by chance? I'm hoping it is, but I have a nagging suspicion that your awesome photo was knicked by someone and that guy is claiming it as his own. (It's in his "gallery" of his own work.)
