Scarlet Pimple

Well, I only saw the highlights Bauhaus. Can't be everywhere you know. In the Celtic semi, for example, he seemd to have been completely neutered as a hard man tackler. What's your opinion of him ?

I actually have a memory of sitting in the tearoom with my mother and a friend of hers having the proverbial afternoon tea. Intrigued but maybe a little bored too... .

You're gooooood IBM.

Must Be....is that a younger version of Ryan Christie at the front bottom of the picture?

Well...er!..First of all I gotta find it. Oh yeah..there it is on the rail-side. Not a young-un but maybe a not-so-old 'un either. I'll take a stab at it --either a Toyota or a Ford? Without seeing the front I am afraid it's a tough one. I got out my pince-nez which contains a magnifying glass in it but to no avail. IBM your eyes have been attuned to finding cars easily, proving once again that what you get is not always what you see? Red Deer was just a psychic impression I got, mostly because the exterior panelling was red and I knew it probably was a Canadian scene. Thus putting 2 + 2 together it seemed a a natural. To be quite honest, I prefer the psychic explanation though 'cos it has more panache and mystery about it.. Unless, of course, I've been there.....?

I am giving you a "like" Laurence for revealing your human side. That' surely an enduring memory for you like it was in a similar situation for me. Never expected to even get the ball but scored when It did finally arrive. Whee!

Bannerman's what? Flame thrower? Maybe so indeed, he's pretty good at sending out heated waves of correction. Mostly, it would appear, right ones. though to be reasonably fair.

Kind of got the feeling too that D U were not that immersed in the game. Pity really, since they did have winning talent. But, apparently, have not had their best bits of Scottish luck this season. However......if adversity can have such a negative effect, then what about the adversities that have affected our team which have NOThad a long- lasting effect? Adversities my eye! It's all about desire to win and spirit. Our team has it and that's why we are going to win the Scottish Cup. Ciftci had some unfortunate misses though, for sure. A bit unbelievable for a talented, experienced guy. Clever enough he is so why has he resorted to questionable tactics in the past to make his mark? Poor John Rankin--wasn't able to make his mark either was he? Seems like John R has now been around a bit since leaving ICT--wonder how much longer his career will now last? Once a bit of a fixture in the team but now seems to have faded into more of a journeyman player. Anyone agree or disagree?

That must have been a very big fort on top of Craig Phadrig. Now classed as vitrified. It was burned down (probably more than once).

Red Deer, Alberta, Canada ?

East Fife--Yes, once the most sought after team in Scotland who won almost everything in sight (in Scotland) which eventually did them in--they played so many exhibition games in England that they just wore themselves out. That was a long time ago ...but true. I saw some good football at Bayview when I lived in Methil in my early twenties. Well, you can't win 'em all I guess.

Anyway Scott Brown seems to have calmed down a bit lately....

From what I've seen of him he's a good player. Yet his temperament is a handicap unless he goes on a rapid maturing course.

ha! ha!

Post #6 Mainstander: ---- Very close to what I was thinking. Even moreso , you just never know but the beaks may be sending a message that the only two teams in their opinion who really deserve any full-blown respect are "You know Who" and " Who knows You". Or attempting to downplay the excellent performances of Falkirk and Caley Thistle as being of little importance in their general scheme of things. All things considered it seems to me that this selection of referee is as much a slap down as anything.

Biggin your pardon Begin the Beguine but I fear that you may be closer to the truth of the matter than one may suppose.

Bairnees are beautiful and Bairns are braw. But, sorry to disappoint you 'cos chances are youse willnae hae a kick at the ba'. Onyhoo--may the best team win and let's hope it's a great game...eh?

May-be someone is asleep at the wheel and also think that the match is in ....August. . Meantime, so long as you lovely punters are March-ing to Hampden then the April showers in May won't bother you really.

Noooo! Incredible picture.

SEER

Only 10,000? Are you serious? What a small allocation for such an August occasion for them. Unflattering and a poor reflection on Falkirk isn't it. Who do the Authorities think are going to fill Hampden with figures like that?

Oh My! Caley dawson My two eyes don' t read at the same pace. One forges ahead whilst the other one is lagging behind and grasping at straws, So I misread your post and thought you had said.......in terms of a lawn mower we don't know what the Dons will be paying" ..... and immediately assumed in a flash of inspiration that they were looking for a groundsman.. But now, using my newly-built-in eye adjuster, I figured it all out . Me? I like Willo Flood's style. Have you noticed that, once he's on the ball, his distriburtion is controlled and effective and he raerely loses it when he gets it. And the last goal I saw from him was a belter and a thing of beauty; dynamic like,. And just a mention ------ Rooney is surely belting them in --winning awards and so forth. Other than that I don't particularly rate Aberdeen. Methinks ICT has more class, more oomph, more crowd-pleasing moves and more skill. YESSSSSS!

Bughtie-- I gave you a like for your above since it's based on that inestimable quality.= of...............common sense. Since Chas Bannerman also gave you a like for your post something of an eye-opener has occurred.---- Chas and Uncle Scarlet are finally on the same page. Wheeeeee!
