  1. Don't think Butcher realises what he's getting himself into? Alex Miller got Hibs their first cup in almost 20 years and the fans hounded him out. Not because of his negative football...... No! because of his association with a certain Glasgow club! Butch I wish you all the best, don't be surprised when they turn on you. It's not personal it's history!
  2. The best final that I attended was my first senior. 1974/75 league cup final Celtic 6 Hibs 3. While we were on the losing side it was a great game to watch. The only other plus was seeing Harper score a hat-trick and still got a losers medal. Gawd I hated that fat..................! The best final that I watched has got to be the 1970 world cup final, Brazil 4 Italy 1. Superlatives have been exhausted describing that team and game. I generally find finals to be an anti-climax nowadays. Liverpool AC Milan being the exception.
  3. The Hibs fans that come up here love it and have missed ICT's presence in the league. Were looking forward to resolving the only thing wrong with our visits in the past and thats the result.
  4. With digital 3D movies coming to Inverness this summer, does anyone remember their first 3D experience? Mines was a horror film called 'The mask'. It's about a young archaeologist who believes he is cursed by a mask that causes him to have weird nightmares and possibly to murder. Before committing suicide, he mails the mask to his psychiatrist, Dr. Barnes, who is soon plunged into the nightmare world of the mask. It was part 3D when they put on the mask you were meant to put on yours. Saw it at the LaScala in 1970 and it was pretty awful but the supporting film saved the day as it was George Romero's 'Night of the living dead'. The next 3D film I saw was '4 Dimensions of Greta' the less said about it the better.
  5. Personnally I think its fantastic that Yogi has come home. I can't wait until you return to the SPL as we have some stats to correct!
  6. I was at the game in 79. It was a hot Saturday afternoon and I had heard that they were going to play a kid against us, who had torn the French apart in Paris a couple of nights earlier. The kid had appeared at the previous world cup as half-time entertainment, keeping the ball up in the air for the duration of half time with his brothers. Maradona stole the show that day, I have never seen the opposition leave Hampden park to a standing ovation and I doubt if I ever will again. I still have the match programme. Simply an unforgettable day.
  7. Played for Barron Taylor Rangers, in its single season of existance. We were replaced by Crown Thistle. We weren't very good. Got to kick a lot of people......... generally the ones that had ran past me to score a goal!
  8. A excellent professional who will be sadly missed from the game. I salute the SPL for their quick action in cancelling the games. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the club, players and the fans of Motherwell, but most of all my thoughts are with his family at such a devestating time. Phil O'Donnell RIP
  9. Hughes has ruled himself out, shame as I like Yogi, his footballing philosophy is made for Hibs. Brewster has also ruled himself out, thank god........ we have enough problems without having a curse! Neil Lennon has thrown his hat in ......... oh great, the most hated man to visit ER, who isn't an ex-yam or ex-Hibbie who has joined the O/F!!! Don't want Billy Davis or the wee fatman, Robbo....... prefer our manager sober! Losing JC is frustrating, especially for the reason he left. We took in 8.8 million in transfers with only 350,000 being spent on replacements. Looks like Murphy will be off during January, our most consistant player for the past couple of season and he will not be replaced. Fletcher has still to sign his new contract, bet that will be gathering dust now. Whoever we get will have to be unattached, as Petrie won't pay compensation...... Tommy Craig? :024:
  10. A colleague at work told me of Dan's passing. My thoughts are with his family at this sad occassion. RIP Dan
  11. Space patrol the tellygoons Frankenstein jr Cartoon cavalcade Loved the theme music to Robinson crusoe and a great adaptation of the book.
  12. Dean is a big boy and I'm sure he's heard worse. Every club has its morons, I've heard equally embarrassing chants from Hibs fans and at the same time every messageboard has its resident clown, like [NAME REMOVED]. If you go onto Hibs.net you'll find a few carbon copies trying to push the limits of common decency, hinting at what their corrupt minds really thing but lacking the kahoonas to come out and clearly say what they can only imply. banana references? Stick them up your bigotted rearend! [modbreak=Admin Comment]I find it hard to take a poster seriously when they complain about abuse and then start abusing someone themselves.[/modbreak]
  13. THERE WAS A HEARTS OWNER CALLED VLAD, WHO SOME CLAIM IS STARK RAVING MAD EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JAMBOS CHIEF Romanov's new rant reveals he writes poetry to ease stress of being target for Russian mafia By Neil Cameron & Dan Brennan IN his latest bizarre rant, Vladimir Romanov admits he could be persuaded to sell his controlling stake in Hearts if he felt the money was right. He also repeated claims he had to rescue Hearts from dishonest operators who were burying the club, that he trusts Lithuanian players because they do not sell out or lie and that he has been tempted to punch Scottish referees. Speaking in Russian national daily newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets, Romanov revealed he turned to poetry to relieve the pressure of death threats from the Russian mafia. Q: Was the purchase of Hearts about business or pleasure? A: First and foremost it is work. Initially, I bought 30 per cent of Hearts. The "well-wishers"at the club muddied the waters - they were ruining Hearts, burying it. I had to buy the club outright and throw out all of the people there. Q: And bring to the club tried and tested Lithuanian players? A:Yes. They have not learned to sell out and lie. We are trying to create a team with character,one without traitors or those who put their own interests before those of the team. In the West, these rules are missing. At Kaunas, which I started financing before Hearts, we existed for 10 years without any contracts but in theWest everything depends on contracts. Q: Will you readily turf someone out if they play a bad game? A: I'm also willing to punch them in the face if required. Q: So complaints that players have made are not without basis? A: Any player who is not needed by the club endeavours to speak more often to the press. And the press selects the worst of what he says. Q: Do the players respect or fear you? A: You'd need to ask the players. If I were to do my job based on whether they respect me or not, then everything would be lost. Q: Why do you change the team so often? A: A team is a living organism. It must change constantly. If that doesn't happen it starts to ******. Players are like goods that spoil quickly if you don't replace them in good time. I have one player who is going crazy. He wants to go to France to be with his wife. We'll have to sell him. Q: Have you thought about selling the club? A: Anything is possible. It's a question of money. If a normal partner appears who cares about the club more than me and I can help Hearts in that way. It is not essential that I am the owner. Q: What is the attitude towards Russian club owners in the West? A: They try to present us as aborigines ie primitives, something from ice age. Q: Why do they try to do that? A: Due to a lack of intelligence. When people say I am from the ice age, I am happy to play the part. Q: In what way? I might punch the referee or someone else. Q: Has that really happened? A: Not with me. But it happened to Saulius Mikolunius. Somone was pulling his shirt. He lost his temper and ran up and shoved the referee. Q: Is it true that you write poetry and when did you start? A: Five years ago, I found myself in a stressful situation. Russian businessmen "put the squeeze on me" - sell us your shares, or we'll bury you on the spot. I sat there, not knowing what to do, and spent three days writing. Q: What do you write about? A: About life. In verse, you can always find the meaning of life. For example, in my poem entitled "The Frog". I wrote it when I was out walking in the hills after it had been raining. Sometimes I ask myself why it is that people leap around like frogs in the kingdom of the bog. Translations of poetry can be tricky, given cultural differences and influences but this is the gist of Romanov's poem. The mountain road rumbles After the heavenly rains, The hills fill with gurgles and murmurs Beneath the order of the earth's dome, A white stone lies in the bog Under a solitary reed, All puffed up,a frog croaks At the call of his restless mate. Longing to be with her,he puffs out his chest To be number one in this boggy kingdom, And produce a dynasty of brave offspring Who will trumpet the glory of these places, A living symphony Above the ordered chaos of the earth, And the clock ticks To mark my passing years. If I was a yam I'd be pretty ecstatic :rotflmao:
