  1. It's only difficult because people chose to make it that way! Non of the SPL clubs will cover the costs of internet streaming; the BBC are at every game....cest la vie I still can't see why the bbc don't tell you who is broadcasting when their streaming is cut. 20 years ago I used to listen to Thistle & Caley games online through hospital radio at RNI where games were covered from the back of the stand! I'd be quite happy to pay but only if I could be assured of blanket service. I get a crap service already and that is free of charge!
  2. It is so annoying when the BBC internet coverage is interrupted (either Radio Scotland or 5 Live) to say 'they don't have the rights'. You'd think as a public service broadcaster they might tell you who does have the rights! If nobody has the rights then why don't the SPL give them for free to the BBC....Is that to simple or am I being thick again!
  3. Was Geordie Horn a butcher or a barber?! Always remember knocking at the knees when I heard my dad saying, 'that's a good haircut' following a trip to Geordie's! Think Geordie was Caley or Clach but his 'young' apprentice Jim? was a Jaggie. Reminiscences appreciated.
  4. If Italy lose here and in Ukraine on Wed then they would be f@uc%ked. ...Great result for Scotland with Ukrainne losing tonight
  5. I think we want France to win but with lots sent off and suspended for Wednesday Clarification and wisdom would be appreciated.
  6. So many spaces and they say 85,000....I can't believe it! Corporate were getting pis%$$ed behind closed doors and didn't bother for the 2nd half. Parking on the Darkside is still impossible since it is built insde a ghetto/ housing Estate. What a waste of the NATIONs money. Towers of Babel spring to mind and I hope theyh get stuffed on Wednesday!
  7. Aye, you're right there was the Washington Soda Fountain in Eastgate - where the Bank of Scotland is now. Other cafes I recall in the old Sneck were the Locarno, Ness Cafe, Rosie's in Eastgate, Rendezvous, the Balmoral in Queensgate, Dorando's in Academy Street (great bacon rolls there). In the 1970s there was a Wimpy in Church Street near where the Record Rendezvous used to be.
  8. I've very much enjoyed watching this debate and have looked forward to CB contributuions. However it would be enlightening to occassionally hear a wee bit of positiveness in at least one of his replies.....I hope/assume he is happy!
  9. I can assure you that a 4th stand would be significantly cheaper than an appropriate video LED screen for each end of the ground. Maybe ICT can do a Man UTD and get Vodofone to pay for it....video screen; not 4th stand!
  10. Heard Alan Ball on the BBC Scotland podcast for 30 years after Wembely 67. Came over as a nice guy, no chips and admirer of Scots on the day....worth a listen. World Champions can do that kind of thing! RIP Alan Ball
  11. Sad day for Highland and ultimately ICT football.
  12. CB....'Doeings' from CB were always a pleasure! Both CB's timed me round a track once upon a time but only one CB motivated me to be sick every time I went round for a full lap! On the subject of 'doeings'; IRA were exposed to a few more of them than they gave on the aforesaid pitches in my time. On the subject of 'ownership' I hope that right of way is preserved for all CB's in Inverness but I suspect that Morrisons or whoever is in charge of the dozers have the required power of attorney!
  13. Are we talking about the same Colin Baillie? I was on the receiving end of a few celebratory doeings whether it be a blow to the midrift or the top of the forehead! I wish I had a panoramic picture of the old pitch before they dug it up. Anyone know if anyone had the foresight? To the other CB....I do object; I think the IRA gave up claim to those pitches a long time ago. It is RIP to MILLBURN pitches....IRA sold their sole to Culduthel a long time ago!
  14. Was Dillingers not across the road from the Chinese restaraunt with the 147 Club on top? My gray matter was much affected by Dillengers and the Tryst. Come to think of it, that turned into an Indian Restaraunt as well!......is there a common link?! I was on my way out when Mr G's opened but can still remember the sticky carpets there and the unique ashtray bouquet! Is that a restaurant now too (or still a meat market?).
  15. If Scotland can get anything from this game then it will be a great acheivement and cap a magnificant week. If not and the performance is good then most would have been delighted with three points from the two games. As for the the 'Queer Ones'; I hope they get stuffed!!! Ukraine 1- 1 Scotland Croatia 3 - 1 'Queer Ones' ps Just listened to podcast of Radio Scotland after the game last Saturday. Chick Young, Willie Miller et all were brilliant.
  16. Wonder if the local Inverness MPs have signed it? Probably not....one is probably too busy shopping at Tesco's whilst the other one is down the pub!
  17. If you feel that you are sinking into the myre and drivel of the press and TV coverage over the next few week, just close your eyes and remember the euphoria when..... Lorimer scoring our first in 74 Wee Archie....beats one beats two; Gemill-GOAL!!! 78 David (Toe-poke) Narey; 'I say' Scotland 1 Brazil nil 82 Stachan, Strachan; what a goal! Scotland 1 Germany 0 86 Stuart McCall...it's a bit late to start playing now! 90 After that except for perhaps the Flower of Scotland prior to the Brazil match in 98, there hasn't been a thing. My wee boy looks at me as if I'm mad but I remember when...... Have I missed any? ........Don't mistake my nostalgia for negativity! I too think we have bounced off the bottom and there are many positives from the younger players coming through. Would be nice to have a bit more strength in depth and I think our real problem is at grassroots level......not enough kids are playing football these days. I see no initiative whatsoever from the SFA to do a thing about it (after all they have Robbie Williams concerts to organise!). Scotland will have to consistently lift their performance to qualify for Euro 2008 but with the young squad they have in the making then I don't see why not. I'll never be anything but positive for Scotland!!!!
  18. I was also in Berlin last week; stayed near the fanzone at the Reichstag....what an atmosphere!!! Only made me sad about what Scotland is missing out on.....again! We only have one National Sport and it is the duty of the Government, the Clubs and the SFA to do everything possible to facilitate our involvement...but hey; the guys in charge of our football are more busy organising a Robbie Williams concert at our national stadium when we should be trying to qualify for the next one that is worth going for!!! Organisation of all three parties is a disgrace. Perhaps they can learn something from RW?
  19. Magnificent!!! I still fancy/want Sweden to win!!!
  20. Adriano looks like he is enjoying Italian food and is sharing his new-found recipe book with a number of the Brazilian team.....I personally, cannot blame him!
