This is a little OTT but has some good points within so I thought I'd share it. .................................................................. .... First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking . As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem . We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents . We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

Thanks Lg I just queried Chief exec being match commander as IMHO this kind of job surely should be given to someone with qualifications for such a post, I think like many people that the security in the ground would be determined by a police officer or someone trained for such an important role.

How are you doing? I sat at the very back with younger and older son, it was a shame what turned out after a very promising start to the singing section idea, I think we all need some calm heads on here, name calling etc will not solve this though I do believe this should never have happened. Let's hope the club and the fans can learn from this. I do believe the club must issue some kind of statement about what happened and not brush it under the carpet and hope everything will be ok for next season. :003:

LG Were you the lady with the forms at the game that I spoke too :symbol_question:

ejects people when they get too lively Stewards and police were acting on the instructions of the match commander. I can assure you that the chairman was unaware of the circumstances surrounding the evictions from the stadium. Hi Lg not too sure if you have seen the letter yet that I sent to ICT - the policeman i spoke to, personally told me that the orders had come from the chief executive- is he the match commander?

No probs, i will check back tomorrow if any other names the song is sloop john b by the beach boys :003:

I'll get in touch through your website if you want to put in a collective effort no problem, however maimie i still intend to write personally to ICT because to have my 11 year old son thinking he is going to be thrown out by the police/stewards when he stands up needs to be addressed

Hi Guys I was one of the oldie gits in the singing section, i stood at the back with my two sons and sang every song going as did the kids, Fantastic to have but oh dear problems aplenty, I have been asked by some of the boys to officially complain about what happened and i intend to do just that. Alan Savage, Mike Smith or whoever it may concern, what happened today was a disgrace, people standing = crime of the century(Not) i talked to stewards and police alike to the point that when i asked one policeman why nothing was been done about people standing in other sections of the ground the reply was concentrate on section A. Thats nothing short of discrimination against your own fans, most of whom were season ticket holders. I personally saw 4 people thrown out for standing. Something far wrong there then? lots more will be said i'm sure but for the teams manager and players to want more atmosphere in a ground that can be notoriously quiet and then for the overzealous chief executives orders coming to the stewards what had started in a really promising benefit to all at the stadium soon began to change, instead of being targeted these very same fans should all be commended for standing/sitting through atrocious conditions and adding a bit of atmosphere, beware Chairman/courier/ h news a letter shall be coming your way shortly. I am hoping we can get some names from the guys/gals in the stand together as i want to include them in the letter with mine, please pm me with details if poss and i will get back to you over next few days. not tonight tho as drinks await :001: and i would rant even more mike smith :33: stewards :33: police :33: charlie christie for waving to the section in appreciation <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%2526i%253D23%252F23%255F30%255F126%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_30_126.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0">

Have been busy trying to work this out, would this be right for the first one? 4(3x+2)=68 (3x+2)=17 (3x)=15 x=5

Hi there all, I have been advised by step sons school to do some previous GCSE papers with him prior to him doing his exams in May/June. I intend doing a GCSE maths paper with him tomorrow, I managed my own maths O level with an A pass many years ago so Considering the answers come with the paper I'm quite happy to do this for him, however Algebra has completely gone from my mind as regards the working out of equations, I have 2 questions for him and I am sure that some kind person could help me as I will have to do the equation with him after his mock exam, the questions are as follows, 4(3x+2)=68 the answer is 5? Factorise 10y +15 the answer is 5(2y+3)Any help would be appreciated Many thanks :024: :024:

All this talk of penalty claims is just detracting from the fact that we were well beaten by a team at the very bottom of the division. They played some pretty decent and fluent passing which seemed to carve us apart quite easily, at this present time we are a team that is really struggling 3 points in the last six games says it all. Defensively we looked poor and ickey Frasers kicking was poor today. Thank goodness we had a decent run at the start of the year or we could have been right down there and with the other teams below us picking up points yesterday I do think this could be our lowest placed finish since joining the SPL, let's just hope we unearth some gems for next season or it might be a long one.

Ever heard of a Tasar :023:

With piles

Police As in PC Plod :015:

Remember seeing him outside the ground at the Sheffield United game, Met him a couple of times previously and he gave autographs to the kids. He always seemed like a really nice guy. i always wondered if Brewster hadn't come in would he have been given more time after his injury, but that's football. Let's hope he is asuccess and wish him all the best :021:

Agree with you C1C3 about St mirren prob being the best choice but it is an enormous task for us to beat Killie as both teams will be up for it and with games between us always being tight will just have to keep everything crossed and hope for the best. :football01:

Always wondered what happened to Juanjo after he left Hamilton Accies, Looked on Wikipedia and eventually came up with him now Playing for Granada CF in Spains second division
