The Mantis

In my day it was Lada :023:

You forgot 'Not near Dundee' :015: :015: :015:

Is that supposed to be a ringing endorsement of TBs goalkeeping qualities? You could say the same thing after putting an Electrolux fridge in between the sticks (making sure it was unplugged).

Our Ian Black went to Ross High in Tranent, East Lothian. One of my mates was in charge of him at select level. The other Ian Black was a striker for Bonnyrigg Rose and a couple of other Junior clubs before The Blue Brazil gave him a shot. I'm surprised he got as many as 5 goals as even the Rose supporters thought he was feckin useless :020:

This is unfair unless you've read something I haven't. The story I saw has absolutely NOTHING quoted from ICT mentioning McManus by name. Just the usual cooked-up newspaper shyte. I saw Sutton mentioned today as well, whereas Charlie was saying only last week that he wasn't the type we wanted, ie we were after a Dargo-type player rather than another Bayne.

Ach, Clacher. In my own sarcastic way I was only trying to make the point that almost every player is important, but nobody is irreplaceable..... I think Smee is trying to confuse us by having 'important' in the title and 'irreplaceable' in the post (it was the post I was referring to) :crazy07: OK, I just threw in Xausa, though I remember a fair bit of wailing when he left to form the Livi all stars XI.

Clean forgot about him :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: Remember that night at Pittodrie.

Well, Bobby Mann was, then Denzil, then Robson, but then so was Xausa, and Mark Brown, and Bingham..........

Denzil for me, just remember a couple of years under Pele when he was scoring every week. The A9 is a lot shorter when you can rave about that for half the way home :014:

The squirrel population of Dingwall will be increasing at least.

I can tell you're getting old, things that happened less than three years ago already seem like over a decade in the distant past :015: :015: :015: LOL, it's the other way round!

Spot on there Mr Banister. The frosty September night we blew away the Czechs 3-1 with a display of aggression, skill and pace was possibly the best I ever saw Scotland play. Right up there with the 2-0 against France and 3-1 v Spain.

It's a historical thing- if you're an associate member (or whatever) of the SFA from long ago, you're in the cup. If you're not, you have to fulfil all sorts of criteria such as enclosed ground etc. to get in.

That's my photo scoring the pen against the Hibs, that'll be £75.80 royalties please Baz. (or 50% of the testimonial money if you prefer. You choose)

Naelifts haggling with the young lad at Falkirk over the £4 parking.

What memories. Never made it to that one but was there in 81 when we won 1-0. Also saw us beat them in 74 and 76, and losing in 72 and 78. In 77 we all watched it at a mate's house and when Dalglish scored no 2 we just ended up in a heap on the carpet amongst all the beer. I reckon we peaked later that year in qualifying for Argentina when we beat the Czechs and then Wales with a bit of luck. We've never had a team as good as that since.

Here's one we can have a bit of fun with over the course of the season: We know who you are Hansa!

Well put Johndo.

The feckers must have read me suggesting it on here in the past then and copied :016:

Good point Scotty. Also in some areas of Scotland the FP church does not allow its members to have sex standing up. This is because somebody might think that they were dancing.

Nae SPL in Fife next season Buff- just have to have a couple of awaydays with us :crazy07: Some of us are just over the water so maybe we'll drop in to the Elizabethan if there's no ICT game on. Oops- nearly said 'when you play County' :015: :015: :015: :015:

I'm sure if I supply Don with the discs he'll be able to convert them. Anyway you've got the div 3 and div 2 days to be going on with. Also working on Caley stuff just now.

And I get accused of being an old fecker :015: I like it though. Or Wolfstone 'Battle'.

You'll understand the concept of 'irony' then :023: How many times have you seen Dennis play?
