Agreed...although no more than you'd expect from The Blob. :017: "Thank you for tuning in to BBC Scotland...we're sorry but the programme you have selected is not currently available online. We do stream many...blah blah blah." How many f-ing times have I heard that crap in the last 4 years?! :020:

Another symptom, I fear, of the sad decline in education standards, growth of txt spk & general laziness when it comes to our beautiful language. I blame the parents, the teachers, the police, but most of all I blame Gordon Brown who must bear the ultimate responsibility for this. He was quick enough to gather together COBRA when terrorists, floods and foot and mouth struck...well Mr Brown, what are you doing about this? At the very least Gordon Smith should be summoned to Downing St to 'video replay' this awful simulation of the English language. Then and only then will justice prevail and ICT will be docked, at the very least...err 3 points, err, no, that's not right...Charlie Christie, err, put on trial, no... Sorry I seem to have lost my way here... :029: :tic01:

'Mon the ICT...feckin' right! Radio Scotland completely screwed a usual... Am living in China...watching Bayern v Rostock live...listening to Hibs v Gretna...getting grief from wife who wants to watch a Sandra Bullock DVD ...oh, and trying to keep an eye on our web site's discussion of the 'Well game... ...this is awful!!!!

CaleyD - one of your best posts! Well done sir. My time away from ICT coincides with our top flight adventure...the contrast in fans' treatment is the BIG factor that I've been painfully aware of. What must new fans think when they get nabbed for standing up to applaud the team taking the field? Not the fitba' game I recognise! But one I'm going to stick with...

James Joyce or Joyce Grenfell? :002:

If you look at the pdf section 'Sectarian Incident notification Form' there's a part that asks for the identity of the person notified of the incident...presumably, in the first instance that would be a steward. You might want to print off a copy of the form and have it handy next time the OF come visiting. On the other hand I have no idea who is in charge of this system and it might be a load of twaddle. :024:

http://www.kickoutbigotry.org/index.php?n=62 I wonder if this will help improve things. If the stewards and police know their number will be quoted in an official report submitted through the above site perhaps they'll be more pro-active.

Must remind you of living in the Borders! I was wondering why I couldn't keep my eyes off it...still hoping to see re-runs of 'One Man and His Dog'...but that might be on the cookery channel!

SP - thanks for the info re. availability of audio for overseas. On this side of the Pacific the BBC pages have been unavailable for some time so I wasn't even able to check the listing. Think I'll just stay in the pub and watch the tractor pulling championships (again.) :017: You know, in an effort to find some sporting action to view I've been watching some bizarre TV recently. I think yesterday's Ski-Doo racing was the lowest ebb (but I still watched it!). By the way, it looks like BBC will be putting the weekend highlights onto its website for 7 days...whether the great unwashed overseas will be permitted to participate... :008: :009: http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=1220112007

Deep Heat applied to the softer body parts usually sufficed on a January Saturday morning...but you're right Mantis, the first header on a wet day was potential GBH... Made men of us mind!

Mantis was at their final game of that season taking pics with his box brownie... Birmingham City P42 W22 D10 L10 F92 A47 Goal average 1.957 Points 54 Luton Town P42 W23 D8 L11 F88 A53 Goal average 1.660 Points 54 (goal average is goals for divided by goals against hence they won it by 0.297) In them days it was goal average not goal difference. If it was GD they'd have walked it 45 to 35. Different times, better bovril and I do not like being called an old git... :blah01:

Step forward...Mark Shields from Australia. How he managed to keep a lid on the Asian Cup Final between Iraq and Saudi Arabia is a mystery similar to how the wheel arrived in Dingwall. I've watched the match a couple of times now and the number of players falling down as if they'd been felled by a volley from an AK47...only to re-appear 30 seconds later...it could easily have been 9v9 at half time. Mr Shields I salute you... :021: :notworthy02:

:moon2: a carbon offsetting moon for those. Since the site went China Friendly it's been a boon...xie xie (thanks)

:33: I'll try The Florida Flakes ...and that may well kill this thread stone dead

You'd think they'd have learned after the Kansas Curly Wurlys franchise went belly up in the 1990s!

You're not related to Mel Gibson by any chance? CELTIC1CALEY3 : Sons of Sneck! I am CELTIC1CALEY3. ICT Fan: CELTIC1CALEY3 is seven feet tall! CELTIC1CALEY3: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the Old Firm with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. [laughs] CELTIC1CALEY3: I AM CELTIC1CALEY3! And I see a whole army of my city men, here, in defiance of bigotted weegie zealots and mercenary journeyman players. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you stand and fight? ICT Fan: Stand up...against that? No, we will be escorted from the arena with dignity by a steward if we do that! CELTIC1CALEY3: Aye, stand and you may be ejected, run, and you'll be in the Innes... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! :tic01: :tic01: :tic01: :tic01:

That's nothing! I used to know a girl in Dundee that could... :33:Moderator has requested that the author cease and desist

Chairman Mao famously said that every mouth was attached to 2 hands and was non-plussed by population expansion. In the cities nowadays couples are discouraged from more than one child...they get education, health and tax disincentives. However in the country, where physical labour is the difference between survival and starvation it is much much less a factor. Families will procreate until the son arrives or at least until there is enough bodies to till the soil. (Infanticide is widely acknowledged and suicide among desperate female adolescents is obscenely high.) The flip side that the govt. is now trying to tackle is the time-bomb consequence that the fastest expanding community in China is the barely literate peasant and farming classes. The one child policy is not filling the middle class jobs quickly enough to sustain this meteoric economy.

What, like a crop circle?

Answer A. It was created as a tribute to TV legend Dickie Davis...the man who truly modernised the beautiful game. B. Some jobsworth rule about players having to remain equidistant from the spot at a penalty kick C. It was Caley D's idea. Only TCS has it apparently.
