That would probably re-activate the UVF....

Same :025: Renegade weekly quiz maybe? Yeah c'mon Renegade why not? Now that the police have decided no one should be travelling to football matches in these weather conditions, we've precious little else to talk about. It's ok to go anywhere else of course, as long as it's not to a football match. :P

Train south from Inverness? I didn't think there were any leaving from here today.

Credit them with having some taste.

1. Maurice Malpas was linked before with ICT to be part of a managerial duo. Who was other candidate that would join Malpas in this management team? Craig Brown 2. When Butcher was sacked by Sydney FC, which well known player and current EPL manager was strongly linked to replace him? Zola 3. Butcher once said, "Every manager in the league would love to have BLEEP, and I'm no exception." Who is BLEEP? Ross Tokely 4. Which ICT player since 1994 has the best goal record compared to the number of appearances he made? Ian Stewart 53 goals from 83 appearances 5. According Steve Paterson's book, he was signed for Yomiuri SC by German manager Rudi Gutendorf. What is interesting about Gutendorf's managerial record with international teams? Managed most number of international teams.

Through time... Have you gone off to have a re-think about Question Number 4?

As above, except for Gianfranco Zola - Number 2.

It became a labour party paper round about the time that arch tory, Tony Bliar became party leader.... It withdrew it's support for labour shotly after Brown became leader.

Once again the police have recommended the match be cancelled because of what they see as a risk to public safety. Between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday there will probably be greater crowds heading to and from Tesco Retail Park in quite dangerous conditions, both for cars and pedestrians. And as if conditions weren't dangerous enough, many of these cars are likely to be driven by women. :021: Shouldn't the police be recommending the closure of all retail parks on Saturday afternoons?

I'd be quite happy to see a Scotland strike force of Miller and Boyd up front, supported by Macfadden, either from wide right or left, or even behind the front two.... On their day, all three of these guys could give a lot of defences a very hard time.

Where would you place the Scotsman in the grand political scheme of things?

But yet they, (the police) can advise whether a game should go ahead or or not?

I do believe that (highlighted) is the main criteria for deciding whether a game gets the go-ahead or not. It's a complete nonsense if you ask me.

A Murdoch proposal I believe... He won't get away with it. There will still be plenty of channels open for digesting the news - he can't shut them all down.

Tight Fife git!!! I think "prudent" is the word you are looking for. (Like that other Fife git!)

I think he probably has.... As he rightly suggests, it is a subject worthy of a proper investigation.

I can't honestly remember the last time I looked at teletext.... I'm surprised it is still going, considering the manner in which the internet has developed over the past 10 to 15 years. I also used to be an avid Scotsman reader.... not anymore. Apart from the fact it has gone way downhill in recent years, most of it can be read online - free of charge. Why cough up 80p a day (?1.30 on Sundays) just to get your hands covered in newsprint?

:D I think our Ronnie might just be a wee bit short of full match fitness... Thanks for the suggestion though, Sorted.... Any advance on Ronnie from the Corries?

Could all those on this thread who are critical of Boyd coming back into the Scotland picture, kindly suggest who they would rather see in his place?

Owen Coyle was quoted as saying just last week that he was "privileged to be building something special" at Burnley, he also acknowledged that Bolton would "always have a special place in my heart". Perhaps more pertinently, he also reflected that: "Bolton have about three times Burnley's budget." I think the stumbling block here will be the 3 Million fee Bolton would have to pay Burnley for Coyle's services. He is only about 6 months into a 5 year contract at Turf Moor. I wonder if they are aware it would cost them much less to sign up Terry Butcher?

For some reason only Morrison and Tesco trucks observe that 40mph limit, while at the same time ignore signs requesting slow vehicles to use lay-bys to permit overtaking.

Looking out my window. and looking at the weather forecast, I'd say it's very unlikely the game will go ahead. I'm quite sure the club could get the pitch playable and the stadium safe for spectators, but the old bill will probably decide it should be called off. They'll be busy enough on Saturday, making sure hardy shoppers can get to the retail parks.

Very difficult decision for him - Bolton are a bigger club, with much more potential than Burnley. I agree that if he keeps Burnley in the top flight, there won't be any shortage of job offers for him. I think he should stay put for the time being.

Are you sure that's the reason he was calling you names, DJ?
