  1. Its a hoax - or it is now. The number actually worked in the past but was shut down by authorities. http://www.hoax-slayer.com/pds-phone-scam.html http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoa...y+Service+(PDS)
  2. Tremendous news. Well done Charlie. Thoroughly deserved.
  3. You can get the same form table on this site you know :010: - go to league table page and can set the dropdowns to show it :004:
  4. would be surprised if the SPL didnt issue an edict about this in the first place. It is often said that there are too many 'minutes of silence' but I dont think anyone can really argue against this one.
  5. stuck it in the rumour mill for now :004:
  6. Doesnt matter what division we were in, or what season it was, we have always been a far better team when playing the ball on the deck and passing it around
  7. but it has to be one with a little hole in the top so you can aim the sauce inside the pie instead of on the lid :005:
  8. mmmmm peanut butter and jam :005: square sausage on a roll with real butter (especially when you have been out of the country a while) :005: a plate of homemade Scotch Broth on new years' morning/afternoon :005: a full fry up the morning after the night before :005: and my current favourite when the wife makes it ........... spicy sweet potato soup - it is treeeeeeeeemendous :005: :005: :005: :005: :005:
  9. Its official - the kilt is a halloween costume :015: :015: ... at least over here !! Just had a young Chinese boy come to the door with some friends, they were dressed as ghouls, goblins etc but the young lad had on full highland dress ..... he got extra sweets/crisps :015: cant believe how BIG a deal halloween is over here ....
  10. Is that what they call a greek tragedy ?
  11. saw the thread title and thought CaleyD was up to something :015: :015: I like Chibber's 3-4-3, very daring even if it is highly unlikely that CC will go for it !!! If he did, I would pick Hart in place of Duncan. Based on recent performances, Richie is playing better. However, I think we will line up in a familiar fashion ..... Brown Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Wilson Hart Rankin McBain Dargo Bayne I would like to see Zander get a run-out as he seems to be a very exciting player and perhaps Denzil might also get an opportunity at some stage.

    ... or in lay-bys (in Cooper's case) :015: :015: But seriously, good luck to both. Spoke to Cooper a few times when he was at County - bizarrely enough, one of them was an ICT event in a marquee at the TCS - and despite his bad choice of team to manage, he seemed a decent enough chap. Its taken a long time, but I think I have finally forgiven Paterson enough to be able to wish him well in his new job. I have focussed on all the good he did at the club before he left rather than the method of his departure and the good memories certainly outweigh the bad ones.
  13. Yup - and he wasnt mentioned when they said DUFC had parted company with Malky and Brew
  14. We will be working to add the match reports from ALL competitive games into our stats software over the coming months and we have made a start on the 1994/95 season. If you go to FOOTY FOCUS > Fixtures/Reports and then select the relevant season from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen you can see the match report, lineups etc. :021:
  15. L_G - I am assuming of course that you have booked the photographer :016: .... we have loads of space in the gallery for anyone who wants to submit pictures of fans gathering at any event not just this one :003:

    PELE

    I agree. The prospect of Cooper/Paterson seems quite a good one. Good luck to them.
  17. mmmm ..... let me see .... try the menu on the left FOOTY FOCUS > SQUAD and then set the dropdowns to suit. Dargo / Wilson closest to suspension on 4
  18. The sound you hear is your complaint falling on deaf ears ......
  19. Daily Flights (Mon - Fri) from Inverness to Edinburgh Depart 07:25 - Arrive 08:10 (BA) Depart 09:45 - Arrive 10:30 (BA) Depart 17:05 - Arrive 17:50 (BA) Daily Flights (Mon - Fri) from Edinburgh to Inverness Depart 08:50 - Arrive 09:35 (BA) Depart 16:20 - Arrive 17:05 (BA) Depart 18:30 - Arrive 19:15 (BA) Weekend Flights from Inverness to Edinburgh (SAT) Depart 10:15 - Arrive 11:00 (BA) (SUN) Depart 11:30 - Arrive 12:15 (BA) Weekend Flights from Edinburgh to Inverness (SAT) Depart 15:20 - Arrive 16:05 (BA) (SUN) Depart 16:20 - Arrive 17:05 (BA) costs from about 50 quid each way, and only takes 45 minutes each way (somewhat ironic) - cant get from one side of Inverness to the other in less time than that on some days !!! - wont double post this in the Darren dods thread, but the same information applies !!! If travel is such an issue, and players keep quoting geography as a reason not to come to the club then perhaps the club should look at building in a 'few' travel expenses over the course of a year for players in certain situations (ie with family at home) - flights are dirt cheap if you search hard enough and dont use travel agents.
  20. I understand you - even if others dont ! :015: :017:
  21. Refreshingly honest .... has he been reading some of our users comments on this site I wonder :024: :024:
  22. I dont think the problem at United has really been the managers, it has been a combination of the manager as well as the people above and below ie. include the Chairman and the Players too. The chairman - ET is notorious for being impatient with all his managers - you cant really argue that point after so many managers in so few seasons. He needs to step back from the edge and let his manager (whoever it is that week) get on with the job. No manager can concentrate on the job in hand if he has to keep looking over his shoulder every 5 minutes to see what the chairman is saying or doing. The Players - McCall brought in a few highly paid individual players and that is what they remained - individuals. The players have to shoulder a fair bit of blame for turning up for work but not putting in performances they were capable of. Its a long time since DUFC were a 'team' in the way that ICT, St Mirren or Falkirk are. Whilst I have no love for the Buddies or the Bairns, it looks like the time spent by all three teams in the SFL have helped nurture a team spirit and a work ethic that have seen them all look safe from being relegation fodder in any of the last 3 seasons while DUFC have looked like it every season no matter who was in charge. Maybe a spell in Division 1 will help some of the players come back down to earth ? The Manager(s) - We should perhaps give Brewster a little credit for getting rid of some of the overpaid guys that had come in before he went to DUFC, but his naivety shone very brightly when he couldnt replace them and then seemed fixated on bringing several players from ICT instead of looking at what was also available elsewhere when we refused. The upshot was that in the end, he signed virtually nobody. I think the DUFC job may have been too much too soon in terms of the size of challenge he was ready for, especially with an impatient chairman, and he may prosper under the watchful eye of Leish at Dunfermline. Levein : I hope he knows what he has let himself in for ? He didnt relish the thought of a meddling chairman when he left Hearts, will this job be any different ? His pedigree for the Hearts job came from a good spell in charge at Cowdenbeath, and he hasnt really done that much at any other club he has managed. Lets not forget that McCall was also a successfull manager at - then Division 1 - Falkirk on a shoestring budget and was seen as a saviour, and we all know how that ended. I wish him luck, but fear he is going to need a **** of a lot more than that.
  23. not sure I buy that CaleyD - "terminated with immediate effect" smacks of something else ..... unless of course they told the wee man that Pele was going there and he threw a wobbler - sure it will all come out

    I have a 500 mile commute each week (40 miles each way, mon-fri) and while its a pain in the ***, its normal over here. Before anyone says it, yes, I do travel on a 4 lane highway to and from work, but that just means the traffic jams are wider !!! - give me the A9 anyday !! [i could rant on about Toronto drivers, Mobile Phone users, construction, potholes, and eccentric lane-changers but that is a whole different subject and would take me off topic a bit so I wont] I do have some sympathy with him - travel might not be much of an excuse, but at the end of my day when facing a 2 hour (or longer) drive through rush hour traffic I often wonder if there might be a job for me 'closer to home' as the travel is the only aspect of my job that is not enjoyable.
