'Duffers' - a blast from the past there :015:

I know plenty Tims who don't rate Miller- with the quality they have in their (massive) squad it's not as if he has to even be a decent finisher, just the ability to put away one or two of the many chances that are laid on. It's pretty obvious to me that Kenny Miller's career has already peaked- either when Rangers signed him, or Wolves. If he was any good he would still be playing in the Prem. I can actually remember when Hibs farmed him out to Stenny. His two goals, both earned by his pace, were the only difference between Stenny and non-League Whitehill Welfare in a cup replay. Having said that, I'd sign him in a flash.

Apart from Barry's wallet being somewhat heavier, you could argue that his game has not progressed any more than if he had stayed here. When he left, we looked unlikely candidates for the SPL so moving away looked a good idea. However as Sophia says, he still has moments of madness. Maybe Pele would have got even more out of him than McCall or Levein or Brew.

When I heard that joke about 30 years ago there was a cigar as well as a beard!

Zibi Malkowski Well you started it Harry.....

Mon the famous unknown ICT :021: :021: :021:

Excellent, I'll bring along the trusty Box Brownie then.

We called them pitch and toss, and shipwrecked :014:

Thinking of making a weekend of it. Any suggestions where to stay over?

InvernessCaledonianThistleFootballClub is a big enuff name surely?

Brilliant how they can do that. Mind you I put in my own number and it sure doesn't look like me :015:

You're right Mrs PB, it's a bummer. Happens to me too.

There used to be an anchovy on here that supported County.

I think 'strangler' is the word you're after, as in 'strangling the vomiting cobra' :023:

31 what may I ask?

I really meant this comment but Tug got in first.

Let's not get too carried away eh?

That was an embarrassment even without the mistakes by McNeill. We did look better when we came at them with pace in the passing rather than humping it long (where have we heard that before during last season :023: ). I suppose it was on the cards that when a nation the size of Japan got interested in fitba they were going to blow us away like most of the other bigger nations. I think if the ref had been European rather than Mexican he'd have done a bit more about the Japanese cheating and diving, there were times out there when it was like watching the Jambos :015: :015: He also seemed to have no idea about handball.

Just me, but I'll try and get a couple of other folk interested.

Still off-topic- I'll let you know after Thurs! Barca is brilliant too though, can't go wrong there.

Flying out from Edinburgh on Tues. Hope to be celebrating yet another birthday on Thurs with a visit to Allianz Arena.

Obviously the guy was being diplomatic though, even 'hovel' is pretty good.

It's a shame mine doesn't all go to ICT. Most of it goes to the oil companies in petrol & diesel. Then there's the Ballinluig Motor Grill, Perth services shop and the FRB. Not to mention that mearlach Colin at the Innes :023:

Guzz- just paid 3 shares by PayPal. Will get you and the old git a pint to make up for the fees.
