  1. That takes all the fun out of this thread.
  2. Interesting discussion of sectarian songs at Celtic FC fansite: Sectarian Songs - discussion Not exactly unanimity of opinion there ...
  3. "We've got to stop meeting like this."
  4. Anybody see any of this? Arrests Sunday
  5. Two yellows for the green-stripes. Maybe another and it will be 11 versus 10?
  6. Still no ideas about the hard-to-understand lyrics?
  7. That's not Terry Butcher! Terry Butcher is seven feet tall!
  8. ... by caleythistleonline.com: Was it bots or was it Butcher?
  9. The Setanta article says he's signed for 18 months. Is that confirmed?
  10. So ... when does she do the Gaelic version of "Bring It On Home"?
  11. Anyone know which team is Julie Fowlis's favorite? If any?
  12. I've listened a few times and I'm pretty sure that's right! I don't think it's the same every chorus. It that this guy? David Balfe - Wikipedia Maybe he can reached by email?
  13. I see there's already been some discussion of this song which, I gather, hasn't been regularly used for a decade or more. Nevertheless, I've heard the whole thing here:

    That would be Kirsteen then would it? Would that by any chance be Kirsteen Menzies from Dingwall? I met her and heard her sing at the Ligonier Highland Games here in central Pennsylvania back in 2003 when she came as a guest and observer for the US Gaelic Mod.

    ??? They've been dead a long time! Surnames were Lindsey, Hamilton, MacLeod, Armstrong and Millar. At least those are all I can remember without hunting up genealogical records. (In some cases I have things like burial records with entries like "Father's Birthplace: Scotland" without the father's first name! ) Bradford, Pennsylvania?

    Hmmm. "Their own matchday offering"? So can I hear these at some other site? Maybe as a pay service? I'm not sure what this all means and what options there are.

    I remember from a few years ago that the games against Celtic and Rangers were blacked out and I could only follow the text reports. So now there are more like that?

    I'm a new member of this forum, hailing from Pennsylvania. So how does someone from the remotest Alleghenies become a Caley Thistle fan? Well, I'm of Scottish ancestry, at least on my father's side, though it's about 6-7 generations back. I've very casually followed the SPL for a long time, but have been put off by the fact that a certain pair of distasteful teams seem to always predominate. But back in 2004 (I think it was) I read of this team that had won their way into the SPL but was going to be denied because their stadium wasn't big enough(!). And it turned out this team had quite a storyline behind it: formed by a merger of two arch-rivals in a regional league, a reputation as giant-killers ("Super Caley Go Ballistic ..."), a rapid climb from the Third Division to the SPL, first-ever SPL team from the Highlands ... So I listened to few live webcasts, followed the team through its first SPL season, then lost track the next season when an extended business trip denied me personal Internet access on Saturdays. But I'm back, and I see ICT is still killing the odd giant and fighting for a high finish. I listened to Saturday's game on Live Sportsound, and, well, I could have picked a better week to start listening again. But one game is one game. I don't suppose I'll ever see a game in person unless I ever win the free-pair-of-airline-tickets-to-the-Highlands-drawing at the yearly local Highland Games. Or unless ICT does a US tour. Anyway, great forum you have here. I'll be around.
