  1. I haven't got mine yet The weather is a big factor for me Is it on Telly? Driving up the A9 in a blizard at my age is a worry
  2. Laurence replied to AJS's topic in Caley Thistle
    I should just like to thank Northampton Town F.C For Releasing William Robert McKay Esq. http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=51707

  4. This may seem daft but it worked for a cricket league I was involved with two leagues of equal numbers could be 12 Lague A will play each other twice and would play the teams in league B once League B would play each other twice and league A once ( you could reverse home field advantage each year) Making a 35 game season - Your points gained only affect to your own league Top team in League B promoted and last team in League A relegated. It means that all clubs get at least one game against the best sides. The bottom two league B teams relegated. to league C - Some sort of Conference system may be good for for the lower teams involving the Highland league , A true perimid system Carlisle United should be invited to joint League A
  5. Well I was wrong there
  6. But in reality it is The New Den
  7. Lowest IQ in the UK must be the Stretford END Thought I'd let my bigotry out.
  8. A Nice Moulton Cadet would be OK ( for me ) Or at least a Aldi van de table (yuk)
  9. League position great Away Form great Home form awful not wanting to pour cold water on two fantastic results, but to live through another Motherwell match would not be nice 2 points from last 3 home games will not win the league.
  10. Was your best mate male or female ? I have been with my girl since 1964 Never experienced your problem , but I do feel that the Motherwell game will live long in the memory
  11. A Rise I think he has earned one.
  12. More Water http://www.nfl.com/v...go-off-in-Miami Notice the young lady cheerleading not dressed for a drenching
  13. They say the best steels have been through the fire This certainly was the fire Onward and upward sometimes it takes adversity to bring the best out of people
  14. I am not saying that at all. The Jardine comment was just showing that a very in your face outfit like the English cricket team, can take a captain, ( in those days (1932) also the boss) from Scotland, then why is it that Scots would sooner fail than accept the best person for the job. Parish pump mentality will get Scotland nowhere whether in sport or anything else. Will Carling once said that rugby union was run by a bunch of old thwarts, Len Shackleton in his book " Clown Prince of Soccer ", said something similar about the SFA, who he called " Sweet Fanny Adams", That book was written over 50 years ago. How many x professional footballers are in positions of power in the SFA? Somebody needs to get a grip, of Scotish football, All the names I have seen as potential Scotland managers seem tro be very poor choices, Strachen seems to be the main choice and I feel , although better that levine, nothing will change. I myself if in charge of the SFA would go down om my bended knees to get Harry Rednap, even on a short term contract, Failing that I would go for Owen Coyle if we have to wear blue filters on our specs. If you wat to read about Jardine get the book title " Again Came Larwood", the best of all reads.
  15. There should be a level of responsibitity shown by the clubs Many people are not capable of looking after themselves , some people may take the money to pay off other lenders, fuel an habit, or pay off debts , The main worry is the obscene rates of interest Put it like this if I was a player I would refuse to wear the shirt and would be prepared to defend myself in front of a judsge
  16. I'am not so sure Murrayfield would be allowed I Know "soccer" is banned at Twickenham , an attempt to play a match there when Wembley was being rebuilt was not granted Apparently some RFU rule does not allow Association football to be played in their stadia. I may be corrected now RFU is professional in Scotland , but it was the rule before.when Rugby Union was ameteur.
  17. The best cricket captain England ever had was Douglas Jardine Who captained the famous "bodyline tour", in Australia Nodody complained except the OZ. who moaned and groaned
  18. The Idea the Scotlands manager must be a Scot is daft Tell Celtic fans an Irishman makes the defeat of Barcelona any less gratifying Some people take the parish pump memtality far too far; noses and faces come to mind
  19. All Scotland rivals are not major countries Wales and Belguim are small outfits . It is bot long ago the Scotland under 21 team was playing that major centre of excellence called Iceland and struggled beyond belief I don't want to hear this small country argument again. It is downright bad management and bad organisation, starting at the grass routes Rangers and Celtic Hearts and Hibs, used to bring fantastic local talent through to International standard, true they moved into England, We now see Rangers forced to play youngsters that are excellent players, given the chance they will make great players one day I am sure of it.
  20. As a former Fire Prevention Officer I can.t believe sprinklers were fitted next to a concrete stand, with no overide facility I used to lecture on the Bradford City fire as part of my work. I also had to report on fire safety at Accrington Stanley. So I know a little about the subject, streaming water could cause a stampede and this incident is not a laughing matter.
  21. Given that which magazine has made strong observations on the subject of Payday loans. It cant be right that teams like Blacpool and Hearts are showing Payday lenders on their shirts Football clubs shoold not in my view give credibility to these people http://www.which.co.uk/news/2012/05/new-which-research-exposes-payday-loan-failings-286258/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2215082/St-James-Park-reinstated-Newcastles-new-sponsors-Wonga.html http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/wonga-extend-blackpool-sponsorship-deal-3600351 http://images.uk.ask.com/fr?q=Hearts+Wonga+shirt&locale=en_GB&desturi=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fbusiness-18160539%23sa-ns_mchannel%3Drss%26amp%3Bns_source%3DPublicRSS20-sa&initialURL=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.ask.com%2Fpictures%3Fqsrc%3D167%26o%3D16146%26l%3Ddis%26q%3DHearts%2520Wonga%2520shirt%26dm%3Dall%26siteid%3D%26locale%3Den_GB&fm=i&ac=24&fsel=1&ftURI=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.uk.ask.com%2Ffr%3Fq%3DHearts%2BWonga%2Bshirt%26desturi%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.bbc.co.uk%252Fnews%252Fbusiness-18160539%2523sa-ns_mchannel%253Drss%2526amp%253Bns_source%253DPublicRSS20-sa%26imagesrc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fnews.bbcimg.co.uk%252Fmedia%252Fimages%252F60272000%252Fjpg%252F_60272931_014709028-1.jpg%26thumbsrc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fmedia5.picsearch.com%252Fis%253Fj0639fce80mTrDVtwkhQtz4Wh-ySYEaHOlRATEVczUE%26o%3D16146%26l%3Ddis%26thumbuselocalisedstatic%3Dfalse%26thumbwidth%3D128%26thumbheight%3D72%26fn%3D_60272931_014709028-1.jpg%26imagewidth%3D304%26imageheight%3D171%26fs%3D9%26f%3D2%26fm%3Di%26fsel%3D1%26ftbURI%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fuk.ask.com%252Fpictures%253Fq%253DHearts%252BWonga%252Bshirt%2526page%253D1%2526o%253D16146%2526l%253Ddis%2526pstart%253D0%26locale%3Den_GB&qt=0
  22. Just thought there might be a bargain that's all. Our bench is a bit shallow. But if none of them are worth it, fair enough. It is sometimes good business to cash in on a rivals misfortune.
  23. Apparently their big problem is their enormous wage bill They re not allowed to make players redundant. They could of course loan out players I wonder if we could use one or two of them , maybe we couldn't afford them? But in true football manager game stragegy we could offer a lower wage. In eight days time the administrator may release them anyway? Div 3 here comes another big gun, or jam tart? I don't think the Inverness goal machine as any thing to worry about on Saturday.
  24. I thought he made two incredible saves when two of the Johnies were through on goal, with only Reg the hero to beat [quote name='Jeepsaw' timestamp='1351634133' post='353 985']Reguero. It wold be a dodgy 1st game back for Esson and Reguero has done well. If we can't get a goal then bring on Esson for an outfield player and put Reguero up front.........
  25. The Englsh went to Cardiff
