  1. That is a good point and tbh, it would be good to see youngsters like Polworth, Brown, Sutherland, Ferguson and Mackay get more game time this season, same goes for Horner so as you say a left back and 2/3 Strikers are all thats needed, maybe one on loan. I know that some are saying that we need a goalie in on loan so that Brill can fully recover from his injury but I don't think thats a priority, Mackay is surely capable of stepping up if necessary. As I have always said, "In Hughes we trust". Always?
  2. At least you got a Punk IPA!
  3. As well as the support in the stands, Peter Paul's due some Brownie points for giving encouragement to get the noise up after Falkirk's equaliser - camera in one hand, conducting with the other!
  4. I lost one of these on Saturday - blue band - white insert - metal button - "SONY" on insert and button. I still had it when we arrived outside the North stand turnstiles, and didn't notice it was gone until we were back down at Battlefield Road to join the train queue. I'd be delighted if anyone's found it.
  5. I was talking about him, loudly and using bad boy's words, when he stopped even looking at his wrist after 5 minutes of added time. Apart from that, best I've seen from him in a long time.
  6. ...and in another, player-manager Lionel Djebi-Zadi has just led us to a third victory in the Quidditch World Cup.
  7. your 'reliable source' ain't very reliable, Falkirk have been promoting the final all day everyday on social media for the last few weeks. we have flags up in the high street, billboards all over Falkirk district, scarf round the steeple, all the buses sporting messages, grass outside the stadium with 'COYB' cut into it, much bigger buzz round town for this final than the 2009 one. There is also 100+ buses going from Falkirk, 18000 tickets sold and counting. Anyway, good luck and may the best team win, #COYB And, in contrast to us, Falkirk are generating extra interest and excitement by releasing details of tickets sold on a regular basis which, without doubt, will have added to their total. Falkirk releasing details of tickets sold has been a real positive, its got everyone commenting on it That's good and I suspect we will have learned the lesson and do the same for both our finals next season UEFA CL and...? Steady on.We are in the UEFA EL The CL will have to wait for the season after. Yes, sorry, I'm a season ahead.

  9. How did you get home afterwards? An awful lot of snow fell that weekend.
  10. For me, only two embarrassing performances today, both from posters on here.
  11. That's interesting since I've checked Robert Preece's official history of the school just to confirm that the coat of arms, which is shown in the centre of the medal, was created for the school's centenary in 1892. On the other hand there's not a huge gulf between "circa 1880" and 1892 and this may even be a later version of the medal. I can find no trace of the award in the index of Robert Preece's book but I would be interested to find out more about this medal. Googling it reveals similar information to IHE's plus the name of the winner, a "Lissie Wedderspoon" or on another site "Lizzie Wetherspoon". I am sufficiently interested to do some checks over the next week or two since I still have access to the school archive which includes enrolment lists. They're both half right, since the back is engraved as "Lizzie Wedderspoon" - assuming, of course, that the English department got it right.
  12. Park at the big Asda right next to the stadium. Free and easy to get to and from.If you are lucky and don't get a ticket from the private parking company that works for AsdaIs it not the case that those tickets are not legally enforceable in Scotland?Urban myth. With new powers they can ask DVLA for keeper details and can take the person through the justice system just like any other debt. Private land (if notices are visable) can charge for parking by law. They claim to have a case against the driver. The keeper's details are of no use to them.
  13. First registered 10th March 1970.
  14. He was teaching the bairn how to queue for a pie at Dens last week.
  15. Apart from Collum, I find the two AARs of interest. One was the ref from Dens last Saturday (a performance that could be debated all week - I didn't think he was as bad as all the women around me did). The other was the ref at Perth the week before - he was booed by both team's fans! PS - I'm rehearsing for Europe by posting this from Paris.
  16. Actually Larry, people in Inverness and the rest of the Highlands aren't not voting for the two big parties just for a laugh. This traditionally always been a Liberal/LibDem stronghold and has been for decades. We've only elected one MP from what is now part of the two main parties since 1959. Correct. Up until 1959 the North (in common with much of the rest of Scotland) was fairly Tory but 1964 saw a big Liberal breakthrough with Russell Johnston in Inverness, George Mackie in Caithness and Sutherland and I think a guy called Alastair MacKenzie in Ross shire. Since then the area has been pretty solidly Lib(Dem), with once conspicuous exception being David Stewart for Labour in Inverness from 1997-2005. The big anomaly was that, long before the SNP's recent breakthrough, the only politician in Britain with less charisma than Ed Miliband - Feckless Fergus Ewing - won Inverness for the SNP in the Holyrood elections a while ago. It was a wee bit like Eddie The Eagle landing Olympic gold. But in 24 hours time, it's pretty clear that there will, in common with the rest of Scotland, be a big swathe of SNP territory up here. Not quite. George Mackie only held the Caithness and Sutherland seat for two years, and lost it to the Labour candidate Robert Maclennan in 1966. In a total of 5 elections: 1966, 1970, Feb 1974, Oct 1974, and 1979, Maclennan won the seat for Labour. It only went Social Democrat when Maclennan held the seat in 1983, having defected.
  17. ...and I thought the Charleston Academy was on the other side of the town.
  18. I did.. I had money on us winning 3-1.
  19. John Hughes has no more part in the decision-making process than Ronny Deila has.
  20. No complaint to FIFA, but it could certainly move to Scottish courts if upheld. The lack of any mention of Forrest, Izaguirre, Brown, or Zaluska prove that justice or impartiality are not being sought by the SFA. As others have said, we need Ciftci's/DU's lawyer.
  21. Far more left wing than the Labour Party.
