The Mantis

Happy birthday Denzil. You're a legend.

Like you, I never thought I would say it, and I was there at the East Stirling game in 1994. Today I decided I simply couldn't be ersed travelling, and wasting admission and petrol money even from the south of Scotland. I had plenty other things to do and even forgot to put on the radio coverage till about half past three.

Get Brewster tae feck.

Feckin 4-1 now. Resign any time you like now Brew. Glad I never travelled down to watch that pish.

Jim Calder? 10CC, Bobby Mann, Mikey Teasdale.

Well I'm sometimes accused of being Mr Nostalgia but even I can see if you're not in the SPL, you're nowhere. If St Mirren, Falkirk and Killie can play there then so can we. But some people need a reality check about the top six. Realistically Scotland has 2 clubs that could play in the English Premiership and 3 who could play in the Championship. So most years, if these clubs are not being mismanaged, that's 5 places filled up in the top 6 before a ball is kicked.

Caley would be just back from the Nou Camp instead of those other muppets that were there last week :crazy07: :crazy07:

I wasn't there either today but I reckon that's part of the problem. I can't remember the last time I saw a good fighting performance that would make me want to spend all that money on a 350 mile round trip. So I've only seen 3 away games since New Year. What worries me? Well Gretna have saved us this season but next year is our 5th in the SPL. We want to do better than ?ivi and they only lasted 5 seasons.

I remember now actually. It wasn't what I said before. My gran was over and my maw and her were watching Corrie on the TV in black and white. I'm sure Martha Longhurst died about the same time as JFK :015: :015: :015:

Away mun, snobbery my erse, you've got a thin skin. :001: I could list you hunners of unknown songs I love but that would be another thread. This is supposed to be for legends (and I must confess I wish I had seen more when I had the chance). Welcome to the old gits club Smee :015: :015: :015:

He'll sign it.

I'll get a row off Scotty, you'll just have to use yer imoginashun mun [img width=500 height=333]

I've got one in tonight's Edinburgh Evening News:

I'll make sure that comes back to haunt you...... I thought it was Neil Young you were at, not ICT...... Mannie, by 'bestest band' you meant real legends, but unfortunately looking at the replies too many folk have misread it and put their best ever gig.

Guy Kerr's a centre half last time I checked (and possibly worth a couple of starts after the split, in place of McGuire IMHO). A bit like Caff but more comfortable on the ball and I'd like to see how tough he is. Has he been playing any different position in the reserves?

I've always said we're a poorer side without Russeldinho and it used to be easy to show that by statistics when he was in or out of the team. I'm not going to go over it all here again though I must admit I've only seen about 3 games since the New Year, but I always say, get a playercam on him and see how much work he does. It's up to him if he wants to hold the club to ransom though. I suppose it's also up to him (and his agent) to get the best deal. I think he's on a loser there unless there's somebody in the English Championship wants him (or even League 1). He's never been one to doubt his own ability, shall we say, but I have no problems with that - inject Denzil with some of Russell's self belief and he'll be a world class player. Roscoe23 I can tell you're young because you're right all the time. You'll get less right as you get older, trust me :015: :015: :015: :015:

no relegation if Gretna go bust. they would be deemed the relegated team. You're working too hard Scotty :023:

Aye, get the lassie in the dugout. Magical!

So has Brew made a bid for Wiese then?

Hey, look on the bright side. Losing a club is never a good thing, but St Mirren getting relegated is :015: :015: :015: :015:

My niece's boyfriend was home from Afghanistan last week for 16 days leave but they all got recalled after 10 days. He says it's much worse than they're letting on.

Likewise- and you'd have had to suffer my taste in music too :015: :015: :015: Funny but the last Hearts game was probably one of the highlights of the season - what a happy car that was, texting Jim Traynor and all sorts.

Well, sounds like I made the right decision yesterday.... passing on the 370 mile round trip......

It sure does....... but it was a pre-season friendly just after he signed, against Steaua Bucharest if I recall. I agree with Kingsmills.

Get in!!!!!
