  2. OK. When I worked for Hector Russell I worked with Ian Broadfoot at the club to put the tartan together.
    and a good job you both made of the design .... I am sure it looks very impressive as a full kilt.
  3. First car I had was a Vauxhall Viva that my next door neighbour gave to me ... it was never driven on normal roads but it took a bit of a tanking in the dirt road behind Hawthorn Drive !!

    I didnt bother driving until a few years ago - saw a poster at an early age that said dont drink and drive and thought it was a multiple choice question - so my first real car was a Rover 100 ... (basically a mini metro) ... and the shocking thing about that car is that Myself, Big Stu, Big Stu's brother and Calum all managed to fit into it to get to a home game from the Innes .... mind you, the suspension was never the same again and it died a few months later .... currently drive a Kia Rio which though unfashionable over here because it gets good mileage is actually a cracking wee car.

  4. I did setup a 'dead pool' forum just for him to administer (something he asked for on the old site but we were not able to do) - but it is currently de-activated as he hasnt yet registered

  5. Agree that Sneck doesnt have too many decent chippies .... The one in Tomnahurich St. / Glenurquhart Rd - 'First Plaice' or something like that - is my chippie of choice anytime I visit, or it is since 'Kirsties' in Kinmylies closed down. The food is usually cooked while you wait and portions were decent enough. Harry Ramsdens in Inverness is, IMHO, the WORST chip shop I have ever encountered - bad food, bad portions - I cannot see how it ever won anything. This is saying something, but even the food at the HR in Glasgow airport was better than the Inverness one !!!!!!!!!

    What about peoples favourite chippies when on an away day ?????

    We always used to stop in Pitlochry on the way back up the road and go to the chippie that was a few hundred yards up the hill just off the main street ... never the one at the other end of the village.

  6. The only downside is that the size restriction might make it difficult to see detail, if you want i can get pics photocopied for you A96.

    We have no size restriction for the gallery - just the forum. If required, and so long as the photos are not under copyright to anyone else we can load intersting pictures like that into the gallery. We resize them to display at a decent screen resolution but also have the option to make the full size picture available ....

  7. They were doing a piece on the sports section of the local news over here last night about the world cup .... they were talking about certain teams chances, although mention of the Italians was more to do with their official D&G suits rather than their chances !!

    When it came to talking to people on the street, they ignored every team except England in interviews with the public. It seems that the Canadian England supporters are expecting nothing less than a world cup win .....

    However, the really funny (and portrayed as arrogant) part of the segment came at the very end when they revealed that England officials have already organised a 'victory party' for the 10th July - the day after the final !!! - arrogant swines I say, I say arrogant swines (the media and officials I mean, not the normal English people) ~Clicky~

  8. This inspired me to go lookout a few 'retro' games I used to play on systems through the years ......

    For my Commodore64 it was HUNCHBACK - can remember playing it in the pub (when still slightly underage !!) and thought the C64 version was just as good. I also remember a couple of games that were quite good for their time - System15000 a 'hacking' simulation and 'Hill St Blues' a 2D cop game ....

    For my Amiga it had to be the Leisure Suit Larry adventures

    For my PC I lost literally days and hours playing Civilisation, Sim City, and of course Football Manager

    For my N64 I always liked the flying game that i got with it (cant remember its name)

    and for my PS2 the current favourite is GTA:San Andreas with FIFA a close second, although I dont get much time to play any computer games these days

  9. Forget Brewster he's history now.... CC, (well backed up by Parky) is his own man with his own ideas - he's doing a great job with what he has at his disposal - He will maintain the progress that has been made over the past few years. Assuming we can hang on to all our key players, and maybe even add to them, a top six position is well within our reach next season.....

    :025: :025: :025:

    This club will progress no matter who the manager. Nobody has ever come in and made sweeping changes. They've all brought a little bit of something but its the players who have responded. Pele brought an attack minded set up. Robbo added a defense to that. Brew brought a fitness aspect and got the squad bonding more by having them together for lunch each training day. He also gave them some Greek ideas on diet. CC will bring his style into it but he wont undo what has been built up thus far.

    Excellent comments - wholeheartedly agree

  10. someone drew lines all over the "Toronto Tornadoes" pitch according to the Press releases. As far as I can tell these things don't directly effect the outcome of games, but the can effect player Morale and cost the club money.
    Yeah it cost me a fair chunk of change to fix that .... barsteward whoever it was .....

    Jnr - after winning my first 5 games in a row I was feeling quite happy .... but then I had a 1-1 draw and worse still, in the next game, suffered my only defeat (so far) at the hands of CaleyD .... so you got the backlash after I kicked my team's collective erse and stuck a player on the transfer list ........

  11. good game - would be nice if we could play more than 2 games per week but thats not possible -

    for those playing it - make note - you might want to give a game to some of your reserves for the last couple of games .... any player who has played less than 3 matches will have a lower skill rating next season ....

  12. What happened to Xausa? I know he went to Livingston, and played a few games for Canada - but what happened next?
    went from Livi to Falkirk on loan if i remember correctly then went back to Canada to play with Vancouver Whitecaps ... released last season. not playing now AFAIK.
