CaleyT

Who knows, PartTimer? Maybe somebody wrote a book about it!!!

Its quite obvious to me - Dougal, Buckett and IHE are all the same person, posting under different names.

I am reminded of a team called Gretna. Anyone remember them?

(Raked up by Alex Macleod after being dormant for nearly 3 weeks!!!!)

It would be a brilliant achievement if the players were from the Highlands, but as the large majority of these players are not, and in our case, not even Scottish, then our success can only be put down to clever acquisition and management. A good future for the game in the North can only happen if mostly players from the North are playing for these two Northern teams!

Firhill???

No, you're Northern British!

Might get a bye to the final then!!!

Yes, I noticed that too - surprised that was allowed to happen. Very poor!

Jethro Tull - Ice Rink Nazareth - Ailsa Suite Marmalade - Ailsa Suite (one of the best gigs I've been to!!!) Marillion - Can't remember where All I think in the early 80's.

Billy Urquhart?

and You're a right bundle of fun tonight CaleyD!!

No - he just ain't got it. Reckon that runner-up is the best he's destined to be - he always falls apart on the big occasion. Hope I'm wrong though!

Murray currently getting humped in the final - 2 sets down but could the 4th game in the 3rd set be a turning point? He didn't seem interested in the 2nd set but putting up a bit more of a fight now.

Y'mean like David Seaman?

Everybody seems to have missed the point, which is that they weren't expressing opinions, but merely sharing a joke. Don't tell me that nobody else has heard that old thing about women not knowing the offside rule! OK, it's not very funny, and it's rather sexist, but to pretend, for the sake of making a good story, that these two really believed that the assistant referee may not have known the offside rule is really a bit silly. Although this sort of negative thinking seems to be the norm for those who choose to take offence on behalf of others - a strange modern phenomenon!

Oh yes it is! It's just not convenient. Anyway, that's beside the point - I was only mentioning that as a possible answer to the initial question. In my case it certainly amounted to 2 less people going. Had I booked earlier, I could have got in to the family section. However I didn't know until the last minute whether I'd be able to go. And yes, I agree about season tickets - a lot of money to be potentially saved there, but then there's the danger of straying off-topic. btw, are we related?

I normally bring 1 to 3 kids with me to matches which is no a bad price in the family section - however that option wasn't available to us on Saturday and all 3 wanted to come at a staggering cost of ?81. Result: me and one child went. Perhaps a bigger family section would have driven up the attendance.

My laptop with Vista installed has this shimmering thing on CTO but my desktop, with good old Windows XP doesn't. Coincidence?

Putting aside the absurdity of the thread title, it can only be Newcastle United who, like us, were relegated from the top flight last year and came straight back up this year. Come to think of it, that's probably the first time an English club and Scottish club have both bounced straight bacvk up in the same year. Surely this calls for some sort of twinning arrangement!

Went to that game too - I think Aberdeen won 3-0. Kevin MacDonald attended that game and there was a rumour that he would turn out for Caley, which he didn't. But towards the end of the game, Johnson Bellend came on as sub and a huge cheer went up from people who thought he was KM, being of similar ugliness. Whatever happened to old Bellend?

I used to support Aberdeen when they were the nearest "big team" - Caley were just a Highland League in those days - still my main team though. Back then Aberdeen were a really decent team. Sadly, now they are sh!te and in severe danger of becoming the second best team in the north. Don't be fooled by their current flash in the pan - as the clearly worried topic-starter is well aware, they will soon revert to their norm (i.e. SH!TE)

Pig-ignorant arsh-holes, eh? But to put it into perspective, how many of us would know which teams were promoted from the Welsh Second tier to the first this season? Am I right in thinking that this isn't the first time that Mr. Bannerman has referred to the whacking of IHE's considerable arsh on these forums? Worrying!
