  1. by the sounds of it, I had two mates in the home end we played the ball forward well i have some choice quotes about how we finished the play thought... lets just say Foran and Sanchez will be a much better combo... we did well played well and at the end of the day they said it should have finished 2-2 with all our and there missed chances... we won so really i dont give a flying poop!!

    If only Lionel had scissor-kicked the one across the goalmouth, it might have gone in. Sanchez had his best five minutes just before he was taken off - spurred into action by Sutherland warming up?

    By the way, talking of bus stop wakners, did anyone else see Dougie Imrie sitting on a wall at a bus stop on the Halbeath Road?

  4. At least Gretna went out with a bang while Livi have been disolving very slowly for years

    It's better to burn out than to fade away as Neil Young once said.

    So what is 63-year-old Neil Young doing these days? :lol:

  5. Whilst wishing all me hearties aboard HMS Sneck good luck for the coming voyages,I'm sorry to inform you that the newly refortified Discovery will prove too strong during this campaign,with much more firepower than in previous campaigns and more ballast in the mid regions i forsee many arduos but ultimately victorios skirmishes.Once the Discovery has cleared these treacherous and troubled waters i will, in future campaigns, be happy to swell Sneck crew numbers in the grog shops whilst not away on active service :lol:

    (with apologies to those that find it cringeworthy , feel free to ignore and move on)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Discovery hasn't moved since 1986 (riding on the back of the Happy Mariner), and isn't expected to go anywhere soon.

    Furthermore, it's never actually been a fighting ship. It started life as a research vessel. At other times it was used in trans-Atlantic and European trade (this sounds somehow familiar) and for training Boy Scouts.

    You'll need to splice the mainbrace a few times before going into battle in that one!

    :P

  6. arent the pillars red ?

    There are a few more adjustments required, like removing the SPL and Setanta billboards and unmirroring the billboards half way up the stand. Last but not least, it needs to be repositioned 200 yards further inland - the pitch looks a bit waterlogged at the moment!

  7. Everyone who contributed to the cause :022: :

    Where do you get the Stats? Fair play to NLP great score, I stopped when I thought everyone had given up! Just check to see we got promoted. It will take a lot more from everyone to get even higher!

    http://www.playforyourclub.com/pfyc_players_display.php?l=1

    ...or click on play, then under "Choose your League", beside UK, click on "View Player Scores".

    I kept playing after I was sure we'd won it, just to take me past the 2 million mark.

  8. Just hit highest score

    176.450

    UPDATE - high score of 188.600!

    Thats me million plus

    177. NLP - Inverness CT - 1.176.600 ! (279100)

    What's your secret?

    Hit the ball in the net!!!

    Aim for ball at knee height as it passes you. Aim for the I and O in the word direction when hitting penalties - Easy!!

    Simples!

    Good score! I've still never managed to get past the 100,000 mark. Just when I'm doing well the keeper seems to wake up and I hit a run of saves.

  9. I think the problem here is not so much to do with Luxemborg but that we, the consumer, in the UK are obliged by law to pay VAT. So we are paying UK VAT on the service but it isn't getting back to the treasury.

    That's not actually the case. Consumers aren't obliged to pay VAT at all, they just pay the retail price/subscription fee of whatever they are buying.

    The supplier of the goods/services is obliged to account for VAT at the appropriate rate and hand it over to the relevant government, regardless of what VAT (if any) they charged on to the consumer.

    In Setanta's case, an element of the subscription fee comprises Luxembourg VAT, and no UK VAT at all. The Lux. VAT rate is actually just 3% after checking it out.

    So if the subscription is ?12.99 a month, Setanta get ?12.61 and 38p goes to the Luxembourg tax man. If however the transaction was subject to UK VAT instead, Setanta would get just ?11.30 and ?1.69 would go to Gordon Brown.

    Not quite - according to HMRC "If you're VAT-registered you must charge VAT on all goods and services you sell unless they are exempt from VAT" - effectively if you're a UK company you are required to collect the tax from your customers. Similar conditions apply in all member states. Apart from the semantics of that, your sums are correct.

    My understanding of the problem, however, is that it has nothing to do with moving to Luxembourg, and is simply an unpaid bill for VAT dating back to when they were legally based in Ireland/UK.

  10. What about Wick, have we ever played them and what about County in memory of a bus driver who used to be driver for both our team buses (not at same time though B) :rotflmao::rotflmao: )?

    Yes, back in 1997, but I don't think so since then.

  11. I have to admit that D-Z was pretty good the day!

    I thought he was also pretty sound last week at Pittodrie, having voiced my concerns before the kick-off.

    But doesn't it worry you that he shares his initials with "Drop-Zone"?
