Kind of Blue

Gringo, thanks for that and for all your good work in running the NPL.

Well done Kencar, you're a worthy winner. Hard luck Gringo Jnr. Gringo, on a personal note, could you check my score for the Falkirk game, as I think I'm due 5 points for the correct half time (not that's going to make much difference to final standings :015: ).

An inspired selection.

I spotted the date also, Yngwie. Amazing to think that 9 Years have passed since that historic night.

I warmly welcome the appointment of the new management team and they will get my full support. I urge everbody to unite behind the team and management, so that together we can play our part in fighting off the threat of relegation. I know that's easy to say and harder to act upon but everthing else is secondary in the face of this threat. We've had little to cheer about this season but I really hope that Butcher can turn things around; get the team motivated and fired up to spur on a challenge to the teams above.

The appointment of manager is due to be made on Monday. Apparently Robbo is still in with a shout but Buthcher is out of the running. My money is on Knox.

Alex, a timely and sensible thread and one in which I share your sentiments. It's time for us all to look ahead and believe that we can stay in this league. Every game now is a cup final and we must play our part in every way we can to fight for survival. All is not lost and starting with a win at Tynecastle we can turn things around.

They did indeed post a profit of ?800k but they still have a debt of ?5.5 million. I don't doubt though that they could make Cowie an attractive offer.

Barry you have made a big contribution to the success of this club over the years and have provided many entertaining moments (how I dream of being entertained again!). I wish you every success at QoS and thank you for the memories.

Best: I believe in Father Christmas - Greig Lake Worst: to many to mention

Fleet Foxes - (Best album of the year, IMO).

Time for Esson to get a run in the side. His distribution is far better than Fraser and he has looked confident and composed when given a chance in the cup games.

A fairly good attendance today despite the early kick off and the game being televised.

As much has been made of our crowds figures for the opening two games, it's interesting to note that the crowd at Falkirk today was 4,700. The same fixture last season produced crowds of 5,265 and 5,631 respectively. It is too early to make assumptions about levels of our crowds for the rest of the season, but the significant reduction in the Falkirk crowd does suggest that the general economic downturn is going to impact on most of the clubs in Scotland.

Far too many changes for my liking - hope it doesn't backfire on us.

If you study the TV advert you will see that the TV shop (albeit with a name change) in Grieg Street is shown. You can also see the ICT Social club.

I'm not Robert but Alan. I spoke to you a few times in the ICT stadium last season.

The Caley club is running a bus.

Grant is out for 4 to 6 weeks, so it wil be interesting to see if Duff gets another chance next week.

If I say that I was a long standing customer at Nu Direction, then that will narrow it down. Was the Raining Stairs track - "World comes crashing" one that you recorded? Its sounds good although the guitarist was trying too hard to sound like the Edge.

I agree

I helped organise the IQ gig at Eden Court in 1984. It was a great gig but I lost a fair bit of money in the process. Did you hear their album: "Tales from the lush attic". I think I may have seen Pallas at the Ice rink but I ndidn't manage to see Marillion. Have you heard of Pendragon?

BornCaley, I dug out the "Groove Machine" compilation tape tonight and gave it a listen for the first time in many years. Your track stood out from the rest and although it has an obvious Madchester feel to it, it is a good track. The sleeve notes make the following comment on AGS: "AGS have brought Manchester just a little closer to home with an impressice combination of dance rythms and indie sounds". Other interesting tracks on the tape are by Raining Stairs and Suspect Device. Ed Waiter - didn't Raining Stairs rip you off with some equipment?

I'm having a repeated problem when I visit the forums. When logging in I can view all the forums as normal but when I select a particular Board or go to the Board panel, it only allows me to view posts as up to 2 August (it states that I logged in on 2 August). The only way I can clear this is by logging off and then logging in again but as soon as I select a particular Board I am placed back to 2 August again. Hope this makes sense but any help will be appreciated.

Guys, the site looks good and the forum pages are an improvement. One wee thing, I have to enter my user name and password every time despite clicking the remember me box - is there something I should be doing?
