  1. My goodness, you get a higher calibre of knob gag on Caleythistleonline.com!
  2. And he does actually have his own museum!
  3. Groan....Next you be telling us the Dutch one is run by Dick Schaaft!
  4. Scotland actually have a 100% win record v Iceland in competitive matches (6 qualifiers) and there can't be many teams we can say that about - only Gibraltar springs to mind! Meanwhile, Iceland have a 100% record v England!
  5. I was going to suggest that you visit the penis museum, but apparently it's members only........
  6. Was it a 2-0 win?
  7. I wouldn't bet on it - or at least you might want to hedge your bets....
  8. England vote Leave! Well done Iceland, great organisation, discipline and work rate. Who needs possession football?!
  9. The Indyref2 ballot paper options have now been finalised: Frying pan Fire
  10. I'm pretty sure all the people of responsibility would refute a throwaway comment from (no doubt) a backbench nonentity that there is no plan, but there does seem to have been a distinct lack of scrutiny from the voting public (and the media) placed upon the Leave campaign as to what would actually happen if we voted for them. Clearly the PM had his own plan - to try to maintain a semblance of short term stability then quickly hand over the keys of the asylum, and who can blame him.
  11. Knockout stages off to pretty poor start in terms of entertainment, everybody scared of losing rather than trying to win.
  12. This chart from BBC, based on Ashcroft's poll of over 12,000 voters is quite revealing and explains why we've ended up with this outcome. Old people are more likely to vote Leave (and let's face it, are more likely to be racist as well!). Crucially, old people are more likely to vote. The areas with the oldest population had higher turnouts than the younger areas. What's somewhat galling is that the vote was swung by pensioners, who basically don't have to face the same consequences that the rest of us do. They don't need to worry about redundancy or their future job prospects. They have a guaranteed income that is also guaranteed to increase every year whatever happens. They pay little income tax so don't need to worry about the fiscal consequences of an economic downturn. They don't have mortgages, so don't need to worry about possible increases caused by our worse credit rating. They are, however, the heaviest users of the NHS, and would no doubt have been tempted by the claim that leaving the EU will free up £350m a week for the NHS, which Farage admitted mere hours after the polls closed was a false claim. What a mess.
  13. Oh, and here they are.
  14. The good news - the new design will be unveiled by being body-painted onto a model. The bad news - the model is CaleyD!
  15. One of the many things I find puzzling about all this is that I don't knowingly know a single person who supported Leave - family, friends, neighbours folk on Facebook - none of them. And whilst it's easy to flippantly say that Scotland voted Remain, almost 40% of us didn't and that's a helluva lot. In fact, as many Scots voted to leave as voted for the SNP in their latest Holyrood landslide, and yet I know plenty of them (I still actually speak to some of them ). So who are these people?!
  16. I'm afraid that's not remotely true! It would have been 53% Remain and a margin of over 2 million votes. No need to apologise, though - the uneasy relationship nationalists have with numbers is well understood.
  17. Whilst the 62% result in Scotland is indeed pretty clear, it's interesting to note that over 2m of us voted to remain in the UK but less than 1.7m voted to remain in the EU. I suppose it implies that we are less bothered about this one.
  18. Nah, we're just waiting for our signing targets to return from the Euros.
  19. This isn't the "England out of Europe" scenario I was hoping to see this week!
  20. That wasn't actually a lie at all. An independent Scotland would only gain entry to the EU if it met all the conditions stipulated by the EU (likely to include adopting the Euro and paying higher membership fees than the UK's deal). A genuine risk, not a lie. That remains the case as much today as it was then. That aside, I absolutely cannot believe that this vote has gone the way it has, I am stunned.
  21. Ah, I thought it was the final game at Brockville, when we won 3-2.
  22. As for the game, if it's the one I think it is, the opposition fans were greeting for more than one reason that day!
  23. It wasn't just a day, we had that abomination for several seasons IIRC!
  24. The red, white and blue scarf in the initial pic kind of narrows it down to Rangers or France. I can't recall us beating France themselves, but Paul le Guen, Lionel Let-it-in-easily, your boys took a helluva beating! Ibrox 2006, 0-1, Bayne scored, Filip Sebo didn't.
  25. Any predictions for the result? Polls have it neck and neck, roughly 42% Leave, 42% Remain and a sizeable 16% undecided. I can't help thinking, or at least hoping, that when it comes to the crunch, people who are (rightly) sceptical of the EU and all its flaws and downsides will conclude that it's still a better option than the risks presented by the alternative. So I'll go for 55% Remain.
