I like to think of it as a verb, or a "doing" word...!! If you add "in" at the end, as I'm quite sure Charles's friend does, then it becomes an adjective.... :017:

Unfortunately weegies only know that one adjective..... :020: Is it not what you have with the gammon steaks that puts the weight on? :005:

I'm long enough in the tooth to recall another great legend he reminds me of.... Wee Billy Bremner.... A pint sized nyaff who was completely fearless - afraid of no one.... You could safely bet your mortgage on him winning any fifty-fifty ball.... an inspiration to Scotland and Leeds United... My fear now is that CC & Donald aren't too sure how best to handle this prodigious young talent, and could end up loosing him....

Now that a top 6 place has gone it is definitely time to pursue other options - I would like to see Rossco given a chance in central defence - he could also take over the captaincy.... :022:

IHE : I don't recall seeing your thoughts on the Black substitution in the Celtic game.... It was claimed he was asking to come off - as he was "knackered" I've watched the whole game several times now - he wasn't half as knackered as Bazza was, who lasted 10 mins longer than Black... That substitution certainly cost us that game - Black was stoically defending the areas where the two late goals came from... Your thoughts?

Yeah.... You were completely wrong about that Caley 100.... AND you've already received an explanation..... :018: :018:

Thanks Caley 100 - There's no doubt in my mind that bringing him off during the Celtic game cost us a place in the semis.... To say that he (Black) was asking to come off was complete bull$h!t.... :020: Like you say - what did we have to loose by leaving him on today.....

Looks like IHE's about to mess up his pants there..... :017: When did he dye his hair? :006:

Is this new spirit of ecumenical goodwill in any connected with the dispensing of your collection of whisky books?

Very funny - Clacher.... ignore these humourless nit-pickers... I can mind Hamish McAlpine taking spot kicks at Dundee Utd years ago.... the real entertainment came about if the goalie saved one of his kicks and quickly hoofed the ball up the park.... which usually meant a goal at the other end..... :001: Football was definitely more entertaining in these days.....not like the over-priced dire stuff we have to put up with now.... :024:

:015: :015: Although it was only about 3 mins into extra time.... You had to feel a wee bit sorry for Boruc.... He must be the best keeper in Scotland... After Michael..... :022:

Man U...

Milan had a wee bit of a struggle to put the 'Tics out the Champions League, and they got really lucky to put us out the cup..... I reckon ICT would probably hover around the Italian League just outside the top six..... :022:

Another pronouncement from that orrifice of yours, which is about 2 inches to the left of yer tattoo.... :017: I'm sure Grabe will soon get the hang of all this.... :022: Oh - and IHE you better not call me that to my face, or I'll set FW & Mee on ya..... :023: Fekin winker.....

Yeah - I'm a 5...... :023:

You're just saying that in the hope that Hairy will go easy on you if you should ever meet up... :015: :015:

Why do you always have to be so insulting..? You're a useless feckin ****...... :014:

Harry & Clacher.... Be sure to let us all know when you'll both next be in the Innes.....

Usually....... :024:

The BBC radio man was impressed with Mike Fraser today.... Let's face it - Mark Brown hasn't really been sorely missed so far.... :024:

I did the same, Mantis - 50 mins of my life I'll never get back again.... Thanks for the book BTW... It's great - I bought Caley100 a pint for that, so now he owes you one.... :022:

Good comment H/Dee - a priceless, if hardly deserved 3 points.... I'm wondering how Blackie lasted the pace over 90 mins?

Pheeewww.... There'll be hairy-ersed highlanders all o'er the place, Buffy.... You'll be spoiled for choice... a lot of these guys are capable of lasting a lot longer than two mins - allegedly....... :023:

I can't get over it - Hairy - I was so looking forward to a trip to Hampden in May...... :020: As for the explanation I couldn't help noticing (TV replays) that Blackie fowled Kenny Miller midway inside ICT's half in the 68th minute... A nasty ref might have booked him for it.... moments after that McSwegan was on the touchline warming up.... the sub was made in the 75th minute - I suspect CC was sh1ttin himself fearing another mis-timed tackle that would have got him sent off..... and suspended... Even allowing for that - to bring McSwegan on instead of Caff was a big, big mistake....

He still looked reasonably fresh to me when he came off.... Wasn't he playing in the reserves last week? Maybe he was mentally exhausted - I still find it hard to accept he was asking to come off after just 60 mins - I am the only one who can mind the way he reacted when CC "hooked" him after around 60 mins against Dunfermline at East End Park? And that was another game where he played his socks off.....
