  1. Caley King?? Aye.
  2. I remember a few years back when Falkirk won the league, Steve Tosh got a medal despite leaving in the January window, which apparently peeved some Bairns fans. Anyone know the regulations for getting medals? Will Imrie and Barrowman get one - I'd have thought that Imrie might having played 13 times for us this season but Barrowboy only played five times so might get ruled out.
  3. My mate just phoned me, he's still in Ayr Couldn't make it yesterday but sounds as though it was absolutely brilliant. HOpefully we get another result like that next week and a cheeky wee pitch invasion.
  4. Get on the pitch.
  5. Caley fans on the pitch. Ayr fans leaving. Eagle scores!
  6. 4-0, Eric. Hayes came back on and set it up - get it up you Ayr you durty bar stewards.
  7. Richard Gordon just suggested that Chic Young should do the Highland March. Bad tackle from Ayr on one of our players.Edit: It was Hayes, Ayr player was lucky to stay on the pitch, according to Young.
  8. We are unbeatable We are unbeatable We are unbeatable We are unbeatable
  9. 3-0 Foran, all the shamrock have scored
  10. The Adam Smith Institute blog has an entry regarding illegal drugs that I agree with - Link
  11. There are positives and negatives around the EU. I was once shown a graph in an Economics lecture which showed the cost of the Common Agricultural Policy in comparison with income from farming. The cost of CAP just keeps on rising, whereas income from farming just keeps on falling. The CAP is just a huge, massive drain on money - a pointless subsidy to keep farmers sweet in Western Europe. There is also a major issue over lack of democratic control over much of the EU. While the Parliament is democratically elected (although whether a list system is truly democratic is an arguable point) the real power in Brussels sits with bureacrats who are cossetted away from the realities of the member states. It's interesting to note that even in countries which are generally pro-EU there have been numerous anti-EU referendem results, with countries like France, the Netherlands and Ireland voting down proposed treaties. I'd suggest that tackling this democratic deficit is an important task in future with regards to the EU. However, there are positives to the EU - as an institution it has helped enormously the transition to a more liberal democratic society in the former Soviet satiellites and former fascist states. Within the EU it has lead to more liberal immigration, reduced border controls and freer movement of labour and capital - all positive developments. Of course, the flip side of this is that while within the EU there is more freedom, the EU leads to a kind of 'Fortress Europe' stance, with protectionist policies adopted with regard to trade etc. In the future I think the EU should focus on areas that really require cross governmental co-operation to address, rather than looking to inplement more regulations and directives in it's member states. This can be done by increasing democratic accountability within the EU system and bureaucracy.
  12. Zander Sutherland 'wonder' goal for Buckie v Huntly
  13. wyness13, I've nicked your sig for my sig on P&B, hope you don't mind mate.
  14. He's a complete bell end, a joke in Scottish journalism.
  15. MEGALOLZ@DUNDEH!!11!!
  16. HIYA SPL! HIYA PAL!
  17. Bobby Geddes B)
  18. Happy birthday Adam and sorry for all the times I said you were shyte.
  19. Raith win = title. Good enough for me. Come on Raith.
  20. Four commentators for a First Division game? Having said that I was amazed to see two Gaelic commentators on a First Division game on BBC Alba tonight. Wonders never cease.
  21. I remember the great days of cracking open a few tins on the 0646 train south. :D
  22. Here are the players we signed after winning promotion in 2004 Liam Fox Paul McMullan Darren Dods Graham Bayne Juanjo Richard Hastings Ian Black Bryan Prunty Prunty and McMullan were pretty much bit part players (last minute levellers at Ibrox excepted) - the rest of those players were all brilliant signings, some of whom were rocks (not literal rocks though) for the rest of our time in the SPL. We will do well to get players like this in again. One question about next season is what formation are we going to play? The 4-2-3-1 has done us well in our run in but can it sustain the more serious pressure of an SPL campaign? If we did play like that I think we'd need to seriously reshape our back four - I'm not sure Proctor is an SPL class right back, Golly is perhaps a bit long in the tooth for another season in the top flight and is everyone confident about Bulvitis playing at centre half in the SPL? Further up the park, could we justify having four attacking players on the pitch in the higher league? Previous experience tells us that the SPL requires more scrapping, a more dogged and defensive mindset - do we have that with Rooney, Hayes, Forna and Eric on the pitch? I'd love to see us keep Foran and Hayes next season and perhaps try to continue the way we're playing but with a bit more solidity about us, maybe more of a 4-3-3 in the John Robertson style than the current system. Would anyone complain if we line up next season with a forward line of Foran----Rooney-----Hayes? Also, Butcher showed last close season that he's prepared to take a risk on young lads from England - it paid off with Cox and Hayes, less so for Eagle. What gems can we dredge up in the close season, providing we get a point on Saturday?
  23. It's worth watching, an absolute balls up.
  24. All upward flights from Dundee have been cancelled. Caley promotion bandwagon will be proceeding as advertised. Choo choo.
  25. I'd rather Killie went down, it's a far worse trip than either St Mirren or Falkirk.
