The Mantis

Don't know if you're aware, Alan Douglas put the whole lot on a CD a couple of years ago. I think I scanned one or two for him.

Sounds like he's after the Celtic job.

Well done Mary. Made me feel as if I was there instead of on the Minch..... no, I said MINCH. Come to think of it, it WAS just like being there so you saved me 20 quid. On the other hand it sounds like I missed a rare opportunity to be bought a pie by Mr Ex-Aberdonian.

Bit of a shock. Was he ill? Nice guy was Gordy.

***off-topic*** I had hoped to make it up the road today but the plans fell through. Instead I went to see Whitehill Welfare play Tynecastle FC. The visiting coach was this chap, who was sent to the stand after disputing a Whitehill penalty:

Scotty will still be in his bed on the other side of the pond, but

He certainly played against us for County in the Inverness Cup Final which we won 1-0 at the stadium, with Ross Tokely scoring. According to my Broadfoot that was 26/3/99.

Many 4-goal thrashings of St Midden at their place. One time they got the panda to dance around in front of us while they played 'Combine Harvester'. At half time we were 3 up and we were chanting 'bring on the panda' :laugh: :laugh:

Daisy was probably up to about div 2 standard, but what a great lad, no ego at all. Edit- let himself down a bit in his twilight years - never realised it was all downhill after ICT and signed for some pub team.

Green dot Mr Sorted.

Are you sure that was this season??? He was good against the tic on the opening day, and he made the goal for Rooney at Fleetwood, the only pre season game I saw. A lot of us felt last season he was too lightweight to make an impact but they must have done a lot of hard work on him since.

Scorers, Johnboy. Plural.

Are we allowed to pick players like Dalglish, Law, Bremner, Jordan, McQueen, McGrain, Hartford, Gemmill?

You sad fecker jnr, I'm sure that takes you back to your childhood in Coventry nil. I see the website's still going Is it too early to bring up this classic again for xmas?

I've just watched that crap in the pub and I feel sorry for all the young lads watching it. For them Scotland have always been shyte. At least I had the privilege of seeing some decent players even 20 years ago. Mind you we had enough talent to give the Czechs a game but Levein decided to give them too much respect. How about you have some faith in your players Craig? Plan A lasted about 70 mins, but there was no plan B. Shocking.

Up till now I would have said Russeldinho, he's been with us for 8 years and we are worse off when he's injured or more likely suspended I'm leaning towards Richie Foran nowadays, you always get 100% from him.

Who did Grimsby play, the Blind Asylum

You've got the wrong season. Livi won the title at Forfar, we had a 1-1 draw at home to Alloa. But you're right, we wouldn't have won it anyway, although we probably would have if we had something to play for :biggrin: A couple of things I remember. Against Alloa Spider Stewart scored a second half equaliser for us which meant we scored in all 36 league matches. Also we passed the Livi team bus on the M90 and my mate Dougie, in the passenger seat, lazily flicked them a v-sign, which was returned by Ray Stewart sitting in the front of the coach. The Forfar game was 2 years before when we walked away with div 3, but lost 0-4 at home on the final day which meant our wee neighbours didn't go up. My favourite ever game? Hundreds of them but I'd maybe go for winning at Tynecastle in 2002 in the Cup. What a great Pele team that was.

Aye but how many buy a season ticket?

Especially since he wasn't on the pitch

Sir Alex has spoiled the Dons fans for evermore :laugh:

Chris is right. An even worse move than Pele, who was vastly more experienced, going to the Dons, where most of us knew he was making a big mistake. Adams is a good prospect, bags of self belief, and a bottom six club or an English lower league club could do worse than take him on. But as Chris says, two wins over Hibs and Celtic are about all he's got on his cv, unless you count two wins over the mighty ICT. I think we should go on the Hibs message boards and start a Brewster campaign. Ex player after all

You mean in terms of wages? Pretty much the lowest wage budget in the league I would say. But hey, most of us would play for ICT for nowt

Surely they have to reply to such an erudite epistle.

Been at Love Street many times and the new place twice, but can't recall any bother at all. Mind you we've often had a small support there as it's a bit of a hassle to get to, especially if Rangers are at home. So a few times we only had a few chants and not much else. Mind you the time we knocked them out the cup was something else Still happy to see them go down- I'd rather go to Falkirk or EEP or Firhill any day.
