    Because a TV audience is more lucrative (and preferred) to a 'Live' audience... :001:
  2. Which will probably mean 2 pm Sunday when the game is on.... :023: :001:
  3. Just because I'm planning on coming up for the CIS cup game in Aberdeen and also our visit to Ibrox I have been told of impending doom and gloom on the weather front. The story was in the Daily Express but I haven't seen it anywhere else and that includes the weather web sites. The following quote is particulary worrying: Mr Corbyn, who predicts the weather by measuring the effects of solar flare activity on our atmosphere, said he was ?90 per cent certain? that the storms would hit as expected. The first is set to lash the nation from October 26 to November 1 and will affect most of Britain, he said. Winds will reach 80-100mph and there could be some tornado activity. But this is just the ?warm-up?. Stormy Weather Anything to sell newspapers eh!....

    Come on IHE, lets be friendly here and show some of that Highland 'hospitality'. After all I'm an ex Brum fan who went 'glory hunting' :004: to Airdrie when Caledonian played there in the cup and I've never looked back. Maybe this guy is seeking far more entertainment than can be found at Wolves (he may also be a Baggies or Walsall fan by the way). No harm in telling him how to get to the promised land......is there :symbol_question: :001:
  5. Always good to hear the opposition manager gobbing off about how good his side is....that'll have the effect of building up our guys even more so they'll go out on Sunday and smear on his rose tinted glasses. (I hope!)

    Loads of options for travelling north but it all depends on your budget. Train: From Wolves (I assume Wolves as your name suggests that area) you?ll need to head for Glasgow or Edinburgh and thence from there to Inverness. Through trains are available from Wolves to Glasgow / Edinburgh. There is nothing direct to Inverness. The train option is not always the cheapest but, generally speaking, the earlier you book the cheaper it is. Air: The only direct flight from Birmingham is operated by Eastern Airways but you?ll need a mortgage to use it, typical return fare is ?400 (ish). Other Airlines from Brum include Flybe and BMIBaby who will get you as far as Glasgow/Edinburgh or Aberdeen. Ryanair fly direct from East Midlands to Inverness on Mon, Tue and Fri only. Easy Jet fly direct to Inverness from Luton, Bristol and Liverpool. Road: M6; M74; A80; M80; M9; A9. Walk: Staffs & Worces canal; Trent & Mersey Canal; Macclesfield canal; Pennine Way to Kirk Yetholm; then head for Dunfermline and pick a Highland March route!!! Drop me a PM if you need assistance.

  7. I take it the guy who wrote the Tims 'Hibees' banter slogan also wrote the T-Shirt.... :024: :blah01:
  8. It'd probably loose its effect due to the lack of a west stand. I recall once some ICT fans tried to start a mexican wave at Ayr but there was only 65 of them. Maybe Mantis could elaborate on that :symbol_question: Personally I'm not a fan of the 'wave.

    Aye, it's been on for a day or two....can't see him winning this one though and he may have to continue his career elsewhere.
  10. Not even the most passionate of Scotland supporters would have belived they'd be in this position right now. I think they will qualify as they have the belief and confidence now to finish the job off - I hope so anyway.
  11. Well done Scotland. :021: The French 'proper' football team didn't do you many favours either by hitting six and improving their goal differance. I hope you get your four points from the last two games as I can't see either France or Italy dropping any in their ties.

    Indeed it is but that choice can (and probably will) have an affect on his career. Even outside of football some employers would expect a high degree of discipline from their employees whether they are at work or not, its a fact of life I'm affraid, and if you want to keep your job you stay within those rules of your employment contract. Should you choose to cross the line then you choose to face the sack or whatever.

    I don't eat the green one's - I give them to a mate of mine who is a Gers fan, I can't tell you what he does with them... :015:
  14. O H M Y G O D! Won't be worth us getting relagated now for a proper fixture list :023: Here's an anagram: facete kants :001:
  15. Gringo replied to maimie's topic in Caley Thistle
    I like Jelly Babies and they've never had that effect on me....maybe I should eat them feet first instead of head first. :024:
  16. Good news indeed. :021: I know he thought long and hard before leaving his commercial post and I often wondered if a clause was built into his contract for him to return to it should the management post proove too much.
  17. ?21 :symbol_exclaim01: :008: All the more reason to give them a right ol' stuffing on the night.

    Sorry, I don't buy this 'Private Life / Working Life' argument. In my job I can't even have a drink in as much as I have to allow at least eight hours between my last pint and going on duty. I am subject to random drink and drugs tests (the drink limit is more severe than that for drink driving) and if I fail them I get the sack, no arguments, no excuses. I dare say its like that in many jobs out there and will be clearly shown somewhere within the contract of employment.

    Richie Hart is no teenager who can be easily led, he is a 'responsible' adult and must have known full well what the consequences would be regarding the possession of this substance. I dare say that within his contract of employment there would be a statement within it regarding this type of thing and what the consequences of such possession/use will be. Fact remains he has done wrong knowing full well what the possible outcome will be. Sorry, RH, I have no sympathy.
  20. ...don't how you can sleep at night with all those 'figures' in your head. :004:
  21. Every chance to take them in the QF I think. They're in Greece on the 25th for the UEFA match against Panathinaikos. Their home fixture on the 27th against Falkirk will, no doubt, now be moved to the Sunday and the QF is now, more than likely, going to take place on the Weds. CB should field his strongest possible side and take them to the cleaners.
  22. Gringo replied to Tug's topic in General Football
    Dons dates with destiny are:- 25 October (a) v Panathinaikos 8 November (h) v Lokomotiv Moscow 29 November (a) v Atletico Madrid 20 December (h) v Copenhagen To me, these group stages in the UEFA Cup appear to be a little unfair due to the fact they don't play home and away legs. I suppose it's just a money making excercise again for the Euro stage. Their two away ties look particularly harsh - a result of the seeding I suppose. Best wishes to them for further progress.
