The Mantis

12 of those came from Gretna. We won't get that luxury next year.

Who?

Well I got a chance to go to Anfield yesterday and it was no better than TCS :015: A couple of thousand Man City fans sang through the whole match and the famous Kop just sat and watched them. A roar when Torres scored after 57 mins, and a wee song about Rafa 5 mins from the end, and that was about that. Good chant from the City fans, after the home fans chanted Benitez' name: 'fat Spanish waiter, he's just a fat Spanish waiter' :015:

Pavement pizzas are the best.

Let's see now - You're accusing Christie of being a bit dim? :017: :017: :017:

And you're not bitter!

The way Brew has us playing now, we don't need players with skill. Just big lads who can graft and punt it long. So it's bye bye Denzil.

Johann Cruyff. Or maybe Dalglish.

Lucky barsteward says it took him a few weeks to get over the tic result. I'm still trying to get over it yet :019: :019: :019:

Daisy Ross for County.

Archie :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

If Brew stays, no point in Denzil staying. His heart isn't in it. Waste of time discussing it on here, he's leaving anyway. I hope he does a good job for County. We can wave ta-ta to Blackie too judging by yesterday. Hope we can get more points than Hamilton.

I'm not paying to watch pish like that next season. Get a manager who knows what he's doing. Even Robbo was better than this.

Same here, he's a good finisher but he's not mobile :015: enuff to get into the box at the same time the ball's there :001: Maybe he'd be good at five a sides.....

Aye Glen was on from the start, good player. Back four of Tokely Proctor Hasteens Royster. What a load of pish BTW even if it was only 12 quid.

Ach slow down yourself - I've seen enough of your posts to see you're a decent chap. I'm just challenging what you said....... BTW I meant new to Scotland, not the board. Fair enough it's 2 years whereas I had reckoned on about 3 months.... you know what the internet's like for giving people the wrong idea, just as, if this sounds like a rant, it's not meant to..... Yes but having experienced the other side of it, I would disagree.... surely the incomer notices it where for others it doesn't exist. Maybe my sentence is a bit ambiguous - I mentioned these newspapers simply as typical of the level of debate about the Union- that's not the same as saying everybody reads them or that they're lacking in knowledge of other things. You personally do, but I imagine 80% have never visited and have to rely on stereotypes/prejudice. I'll bore the erse off you with anecdotal evidence if you're not careful :015: :015: :015: You forgot the Argies, Micks, Wops, Dagos and Krauts :023:

Fair point, but there's two sides to the argument. If people are obsessed with 'the English' that's unhealthy. If Scots are more politicised than their neighbours that's commendable. The Union debate here is light years ahead of that in England where the London Evening Standard and The Sun are about as sophisticated as it gets. Al, without meaning to cause offence, I suspect that as a newcomer you are just scratching the surface of a previously unknown topic. When Scotland occupies a third of the British land area but we are continually dismissed as irrelevant by so-called 'national' institutions such as the BBC, and effectively treated as a county, people do start to notice. Ignorance of Scotland in England, especially the South-East, is appalling.....

I agree with Kingsmills. :004:

Never been to NDP - was it built right next to the old one?

Not at all, I could have said 'feckin **** ******** *** ****** **** ** cats' if I was being hard on the feckers.

I thought it was something to do with how Oliver Cromwell and his merry men pronounced the word 'neck' when they were hanging the locals.

Obviously cats. That and OF supporters.

What about size of squad though?

Not sure about them staying up. Billy Reid has a lot of youngsters and he was hinting yesterday that his SPL team would be full of young players. Will they be able to put together a deep enough squad with enough experience? Do they have any more money than the likes of us? Will a grass pitch put paid to their outstanding home record? Only smarties have the answer.

Looks like I'm going to Anfield on May 4th to see Liverpool play Man City. Day after ICT - Gretna.
