Yngwie

You can smack a dog really hard and it'll just want to lick you and please you in whatever way it can. Mind you, I suspect the same applies to F*ballers Wife.......

For the avoidance of doubt, she's a teacher not a pupil. (The pupils prefer cider)

Wife goes back to school tomorrow, so we are on Grouse and ginger ale tonight, to settle her down. :nuts:

Just been looking into the Eyemouth thing - they were regulars in the Scottish Cup in that era (as were loads of bizarre wee teams) and did indeed reach the Q/F in 1960 (a bye, then home wins againt Albion and Cowdenbeath before losing to Killie). Another year they went to Parkhead and only lost 3-0 to Jock Stein's team. A couple of years earlier, I noticed that Caley knocked out "Babcock and Wilcox".....hardly surprising if they only fielded 2 players.

He's hardly setting division 1 on fire, is he? Looks like Brewster was right.

Dundee seem to be on the brink on making severe cuts again, which might mean they will accept any reasonable offers. Should we enquire about Robb, again? Or has he not lived up to his previous potential?

With Accrington back in the news after their promotion, I saw an article about their team just prior to the club's disappearance back in the 60s. Most of them were Scots, but what surprised me was that one of them was apparently signed from Eyemouth United, after he played a key role getting them to the Scottish Cup Quarter Finals. Did this really happen?! Or has the journalist got mixed up? I thought Elgin were the only non-league team to get that far. I'm somebody from the Old Folks Home can clarify.

Brewster quoted on BBC : "I will have to bring in at least half-a-dozen replacements and I have a list of players who I would like," he said after the 3-1 defeat.

Agreed, but Livi would hold out for a large transfer fee which would probably rule us out.

Sounded like a good performance. But I just can't get excited about it any more, for me the season ended last Saturday.

He had a few very good seasons but has done nothing in the last 12 months. I can see him dropping down a league.

Ths sign with pictures telling you the rules, like "No petting"

This thread seemed quite a good idea at the time

Didn't actually have you in mind.

Hello old people, your favourite grandson here just popping in for a quick visit. I'm trying to put up with the stench of pee and lavender in the hope that you'll remember me in your wills.

Is anyone else a bit surprised by the ages declared on some member profiles? Not naming names, but one or two females in particular...... (lights blue touch paper and retires!)

Briefly considered a change, but after about 7 years posting under this name I'll stick with tradition.

UEFA's rationale is even more baffling than the decision. "Bigotry is alright, cos it's been happening in Scotland for years!" Aye, like murder, drug abuse, racism, domestic violence etc

We've heard it all before. "I'm quite happy to stay" (to honour the year remaining on his current contract) is hardly a commitment to stay at the club. He's just doing the sensible thing and keeping his options open. Given that Utd's keepers are all p1sh, Brewster and The Grocer will be happy to pay the £50k or so that will be needed to tempt ICT to sell rather than lose him for nothing next summer.

185 appearances is pretty self-explanatory, our last 4 managers have all considered him a first team regular.

Would like to see Jackson get a chance in the remaining, meaningless games. I don't think Bayne or MacAllister are good enought to be sub striker, so it would do no harm to try an alternative.

We don't seem to have scored many (or any) really great goals this season. Plenty of goals, yes, crucial goals, yes, but not many that will be remembered for their quality.

Totally in favour. Gives the mid table teams something to aim for. Creates more "6 pointers" in the last 5 games.

I woke up this morning, hungover, but more significantly, in the midst of a remarkably vivid dream. ICT did the business at Livi, Rangers beat Motherwell 1-0. But we had to wait about 10 minutes glued to our radios for the Aberdeen game to finish. The players stayed on the pitch in anticipation. Final score came through, 0-1, I start the pitch invasion. Having a great time hugging the players and talking shite to them just like when we won Division 1. But suddenly all the stewards are chasing me. Then I woke up!
