  1. Seeing as there isn't one yet; I will be there + 2
  2. Would that be because of the oil by any chance?
  3. Would like to see Zander and Rory get loaned out to get some regular football. Especially with Rory, with Bayne, Wyness, Dargo and McSwegan all available for cover. And I really don't think it can help a striker when he only comes on for the last 10-ish minutes a match. But Zander, definatly. Although I have called on him getting a chance in the first team.
  4. Found it rather interesting that we managed to get Student tickets after all at St Mirren.
  5. I could contribute as much on the park as McSwegan.
  6. Did we not go something like 9 games unbeaten last year at some point? Or how about Dargo scoring X goals in a row? I would be suprised if he is actually given it, but he should be.
  7. I think I understand; We should be giving the players as much money as we can. However, we shouldn't be giving them too much as to get ourselves into serious problems, or borrowing money off the bank. If I am right, we are still the only club who aren't really in debt with the bank, and so as long as we could offer them a stable amount of money that will not in anyway put our financial accounts into problems, unlike what other teams have done.
  8. Well I didn't know if it was a rumour or a fact, hence why it is in the rumour mill section.
  9. Right I wasn't sure if it was or not..but that's the guy I saw.
  10. This is all I have "Hearts fans have allegedly reported a linesman to the Scottish Football Association and have accused him of challenging them to a fight during a Scottish Premier League match." It's in the Daily Ranger, and if I am right then Hearts have Celtic at the weekend and it actually looks like they are trying to unsettle Hearts more. Never really noticed it before, but it seems like it is getting truer and truer. Either that or one person in the paper has it out for them, or it is just one great massive co-incidence. However, if this linesman did challenge them to a fight, then surely this Linesman must be stripped of his status immediatly.
  11. Did anyone see Blackie in the stand? I was sure that I spotted him sitting near me by his completly gay earring....anyone else catch him?
  12. I hope that Savage doesn't go too overboard. Unless internally the players have raised something about their wages being so much lower then other teams in the SPL, and that is the stumbling block over contracts. I would hate to start seeing some players getting pre-madonna on our *****, and the whole team suffering as a result.
  13. I just think it is quite funny with all the Dundee Utd fans saying that they would be moving to a bigger and better club then Caley if they left. The only thing that they would be benefiting from is a higher wage bill. That said, I don't think Brewster should have gone. The Grocer said when he signed that it was going to be a long term deal...well either long term is a couple of months, or The Grocer is as dis-honest to Brewster and Brewster was to us. But no, don't think I want Proctor back, our team is doing well sitting all the way up there in 4th....shoot, that's me getting a nosebleed we are so high....
  14. NotW, that fine newspaper, claims that Brewster will be sacked tomorrow, and Craig Levein will be instated within 48 hours.
  15. Telegraph link
  16. As I said to my brother. Unimpressive. Tokely was crap, awful, terrible. Seemed uninterested, and I thought he would have used this game to say to the St Mirren fans - HA!! Screw you. But no, looked nervous, slow, off the pace, and rubbish. Shyed out of challenges and just wasn't very good. Dods was a rock in defence, our best player by far. The problems that I rose against Rangers still stand. No movement, lack of passing, and we resorted to humping it up the park. There were times I thought we would have moved it forward by passing, but no. There was actually a time when we had a great break away, with a guy free on the far side, and we chose the wrong pass, and lost the ball. Unimpressive, unimaginative, crap. St Mirren deserved the win today, but we could have grabbed it. We had a great corner and Bayne missed it by mm's. That said, the ref was a bit touch and go as well.
  17. Library was part of the community center.
  18. I'll be there with at least one other...where is everyone meeting beforehand?
  19. Sufficed to say I know all 3 of them, and yes they are arseholes.
  20. He will be one of the newer refs looking for promotion to SPL and so will be given a low key match, and one that should, in all reality, be one of the "easier" games. Especially with an experienced chap like Brines as 4th official. Having an guy who has had many SPL games looking over him.
  21. Cheers for that. Seems like a bit too much hassle to me though. Wonder why they aren't running it PATG
  22. Saw it and thought that I should do a wee write up. I'm thinking that come St Mirren next week we could be getting some new nicknames for our players. Tokely - Plug indeed...
  23. Alcopops: What is the biggest bender you've been on? It was on my 21st birthday when I went out with my mates in St Andrews. I am a bit of a lightweight when it comes to drinking and I ended up throwing up in the back of a brand new taxi. I had some really disgusting drinks and they just didn't agree with me. It was the worst hangover ever. Banana Splits: What was your favourite cartoon as a kid? I was really into He-Man and the Masters of the Universe plus I had the action figures. In fact, Mark McCulloch of Ross County thinks he looks like him. I also liked Fraggle Rock and currently I am watching SpongeBob Squarepants, which is quite funny because there is some adult humour in it. Caught on Camera: What is your most embarrasing moment? When it was your birthday at Dundee, the lads would make you do something silly, I was made to run round Dens Park wearing nothing but steel toecap boots and a workers helmet. I was egged on by the likes of Lee Wilkie and Jamie Langfield. Another time I went to the cinema not knowing it was a couple's night - and turned up on my own. Dumb and Dumber: Who is the biggest idiot you know? Rory McAllister, Ian Black and Stevie Milne are all contenders, but I will have to go for Zander Sutherland. He came up with a cracker recently when he thought that Netherlands was somewhere near Argentina. He didn't know it is actually Holland. His geography obviously isn't that great and he also asked if Dunfermline was close to Kilmarnock. Eva Longoria: Who is your dream date? Obviously I will say my wife Susan. She is from Auctermuchty, which is where the Proclaimers are from, but I say she is the best thing from there. If I couldn't choose her, then it would have to be anyone out of Girls Aloud. I wouldn't kick them out of bed for breaking wind. Famous: Who is the biggest Celebrity you have met? Barry Wilson helped me on this by providing alternate answers and he says I've to say him, which is no suprise really. I was in London recently with my sister Mhairi and her friend Cheryl and we bumped into Michael Greco and Dean Gaffney, who were in Eastenders. I spoke to Michael and told him his I thought he was a good actor, but his poker playing was better. Guffaw: What is the funniest thing you have ever seen? Is has to be Stuart McCaffrey's golf swing. Evn though he plays off five, he is like an old man. His swing is ridiculous and he takes forever. Barry Wilson and I team up to play Caff and Russel Duncan and we went eight unbeaten against them, but they are starting to come back. Caff mysteriously seems to get a good lie in the rough. Hometown: Where are you from? I am from Ladybank in Fife It is known for a trainstation and its golf course. It is a place where everone knows everyone. I was a good kid. Idiot: What is the daftest thing you've seen? Darren Dods tried to do the Johan Cruyff turn in training. He isn't the most graceful of players which is why he uses it just in training. I once burnt my fingers when I decided to clean the cooker but I forgot it was still hot and got painful blisters. Jakey: Who has the worst dress sense? John Rankin is a good looking guy but some of the stuff he wears is horrendous. He comes in wearing sandals, shorts and a tight pink t-shirt. The worst I've ever owned is a pair of golf shoes I bought on Ebay for £100. They were orange and white with a tinge of pink. I only wore them oce because I got horrendous blisters. King Kenny: Who was your hero? I would say my dad Bob. He played for Newburgh Juveniles and once told me how he scored 80 goals in one season. I used to go and watch Hibs and also my local club Raith Rovers. There were a couple of seasons I saw all of Hibs' home gams and I went to Hampden when they won the Skol Cup in the early 90s. My favourite player weas Keith Wright who scored in that game. Lost: What three items would you want with you to a desert island? I would take my sand wedge to practice shots because I am rubbish in the bunker. I would take my Border Collie called Cara and also a speed boat for getting home. If I can't get a speed boat then m pal John is great with directions. Magaluf: What was your best holiday? I was in Thailand and Sigapore for my honeymoon and that was great. I also enjoyed Magaluf with the boys after our first season in the SPL. About 20 of us went and I remember they didn't build the roads wide enough for Grant Munro because he kept bouncing off the walls because he was so rubbered. Roy McBain went back to the hotel when he was a bit worse for wear. He got the right room number but the wrong hotel and an old couple got a right fright when they came back to their room and found Roy in their bed. Nightmare: What was your worst moment in football? The footballing revolution under the Bonettis at Dundee. That was a very surreal experience. I was made to go train with the young boys. Another bad experience is playing for Arbroath at Gayfield where the wind cuts into you. Oh My God: Tell us something we don't know about you? Well apparently I like to wear womens shoes. My best man at my wedding, Callum Simmers, told the story about how I once walked home in a pair of heels. I vaguely remember being on a night out and his fiance's feet were hurting. I offered her my shoes and ended up walking home in her heels which were a few sizes too small for me. Prank: What is the best wind-up you've seen? Liam Fox used to come into training early and take your car keys and hide your car. I remember John McCormack would pull tricks on young skillseekers at Dundee by sending them round the shops to get tartan paint and the lightbulbs for the stadium floodlights. Quick Fix: What would you change about your team-mates? Dennis Wyness and our reserve manager John Docherty get slagged for their big noses so I would give them a reduction. I would like to be two inches bigger. Obviously I am talking about my height. Rosco: Who has the worst nickname? There are a few dodgy ones I've heard. When I first came ot Caley they would call Liam Keogh 'Odd Job' because he looks like the baddie out of James Bond. Ross Tokely gets called 'Beano' because he looks like Plug from the Bash Street Kids. David Proctor used to get called 'Emu' - have a look at his neck and you will see why. Scary: What is your most frightening experience? My Dad when he was a football manager. He has a short fuse and would shout and bawl from the sidelines. Actually, I would be more worried if he was quiet. Neale Cooper could be quite scary when he was at Ross County. If you weren't doing something right he would have a right go at you. Tracks of my Tears: When was the last time you cried? It was on my wedding day which was quite girly of me. I told Susan not to cry, which she didn't, but I suddenly opened the floodgates. We got married in a church in Auchtermuchty and had our reception at Huntingtower in Perth. It was raining all week leading up to it but luckily the sun was out on the big day. U2: What was the first album you bought? Again I am being a bit of a girl because it was Alanis Morissette who was pretty big at the time. I went to see Keane last week in Aberdeen and they were good. I also like the Killers and Razorlight. Barry Wilson has the worst taste - he likes John Denver for God's sake. Very Strange: What is your strangest experience? I was speaking to Stevie Milne at training with Dundee when all of a sudden Claudio Caniggia walked round the corner and showed up. We had heard the speculation but never heard anything confirmed. He turned up with his entourage . He spoke to use and was great. He is one of the best I have ever played with. Wonder Goal: What is the best goal you have scored? I have got to say it was the one just there against Rangers. It was amazing how quiet the Rangers fans went. Susan's uncle had a £2 bet on me to score the first goal at 16-1. Hugh Robertson socred great goals at Dundee and Ross County. He has the hardest shot I've seen and once knockd out a referee because he hit the ball so hard. XXX: Do you remember your first kiss? It was a girl in Ladybank called Lindsey Isles. Our Mums were good pals and apparently we were thick as thieves. We kissed in the play park I seem to remember. She was actually at my wedding. ZZZZ: What bores you? Stuart McCaffrey. Enough said. Richard Hastings' patter. Russel Duncan who thinks he's Vijay Singh. Craig Dargo moaning when I fine him because we have a fining system. I am in charge of the fines and he is always late for training on a Monday. Some interesting things to come out there. Maybe we should start calling Rossco Beano from now on eh?
  24. Imagine what Dods and Black must be thinking at the moment. A massive sigh of relief me thinks. Imagine what Proctor is thinking....
  25. "The Departed" ****/5 Amazing movie. Not quite up there at 5 stars. The American remake of Infernal Affairs with Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Di Caprio, Ben Affleck, Marky Mark, Alec Baldwin and more. The story of an undercover cop in a criminal group, and an undercover criminal in the police. Directed by Scorsasee. If he doesn't get the Best Director Nom then something is wrong. Di Caprio, Nicholson and Affleck all should get noms as well. Brilliant movie.
