  1. Glencoe, Road to the Isles (Glenfinnan, Arisaig, Morar, Mallaig) around Skye then to Gairloch via Applecross and the Bealach na Ba. Take a tent sleep under the stars every night with a bottle of whisky
  2. Whoever put the Oldham shirt on the 'shrine' outside the ground, nice one :applause1:
  3. no apology needed. there are no certainties in this game and when you took the risk you had our best interest at heart, sometimes you back a wrong' un. A certainty is that if you never make a choice or take a risk you will never progress. with you all the way
  4. I'm gonna have to go on a crash diet if I ever want to grace the Chaddy End again
  5. You'll never take the Chaddy Them were the days. Remember a rather tasty encounter with Sunderland in late 70's when trying to take the home end was standard practice. My romance with the Chaddy waned when they partitioned off the wooden section at the back and then put seats in. Seats in a stand, what's that all about. I just know we'll get safe standing put in just when my legs are giving up and I actually need to sit down during the match. Can you hear the left side sing
  6. 3 Right Backs isn't that bad, can anyone remember when we had 9 Centre Backs in Football Manager 1995.
  7. Didn't James Garner (played Jim Rockford) die last year? Or is there another Jim Rockford and I'm a right spangle?
  8. 3 teams going down from league 1 with 50+ points must be a record
  9. Geez, no wonder there were nearly 4000 there today. Anyone there that paid to get in
  10. Will give him the benefit of my doubt because he is our new Manager. Immediate reaction was being reminded of the episode of Father Ted when Ted and Dougal win the Irish song for Europe competition with a crap song because the organisers wanted an excuse to no longer enter the Eurovision Song Contest
  11. Having watched the main party leaders tonight it is clear that Dave Edwards is the best man for this gig - if you've not been on the Door Specialist thread you may be slightly bemused
  12. whats irresponsible about having an alternative vision to a failed 2 party system, that forms 2 cheeks of the same arse. don't fall for the elite rhetoric against Populism. A significant % of scotland has become more politically aware and understands that there is a better way to what has long been fed to us. it is through such minor parties that things can be changed,
  13. What are the hopes of your family and friends? To have a secure, affordable home in a community where you can enjoy going outside to a clean and healthy environment, To be healthy and to feel good. To know you'll have enough money to pay the bills and buy what you need and know that you'll have that financial security in the future. To have meaningful, secure and satisfying work that you care about. To have good relationships with family and friends and to know that those you care about are safe and secure. To have access to green and wild spaces, community areas, play areas, arts, sports and leisure activities. To have good transport links, good facilities and high quality services locally when you need them. To have human rights, to be free from discrimination, to be accepted and respected. To live a good life. Home, work, security, community, recreation, public service and respect, a politics which cares about us would be built on these foundations. Profiteering, competition, elitism, greed, anger, blame, mistrust are NOT words that represent our hopes so why are they the foundations of the politics we have? We have ben hoodwinked into accepting that if the strongest get stronger, the biggest get bigger and the richest get richer we ALL benefit because some of their wealth and power filters down to us. What have we been left with? tax dodging billionaires, profiteering energy companies, criminal banks and hard working families who struggle to achieve the basic standard of living. Both Tories and Labour (and over the past 5 years Lib Dem) are part of an elitist establishment that protect the rich and ensure that we pay for it. A vote for any of these is a vote for things to continue as they have done since Thatcher. The countries wealth will continue to rise to the elite and we will take our medicine of austerity because we are all in it together. Although I don't support many of their policies I will be voting SNP, not because I hate the English (I am English ) but because I see that eventually a strong SNP will be rid of an Establishment that looks after itself first and ensures the rest of us turn against each other. With a compliant media we are meant to blame all our problems on someone else who is slightly different, rather than the real villains that comprise the Establishment.
  14. Was the Groves volley from edge of box in the 6-0 against Huddersfield when he took the corner on the right himself and it came back out to him. I remember it clearly as I turned away as the ball was cleared and missed it.
  15. Your name will forever bring a smile to my face. A true character. God Bless you and your family.
  16. I did my Level 2 coaching badge 20+ yrs ago, I can remember Gordon Strachan being on it but I don't remember there being any badgers. The fight against TB and culling may be driving our best candidates abroad
  17. Gattusso would be great for bringing more through the turnstiles. I would move back to the Main Stand Paddock just for the craic. Likely end up a car crash but I would support his appointment simply for the touchline entertainment. Sell bags of blue smarties to fuel his emotions.
  18. There's only one Lee Johnson He won some games but most he lost 'em For a grown man he's small Makes a pygmy look tall It looks like he's still sitting when he stands
  19. Neil Pointon. quietly as hard as woodpecker lips
  20. How many pies should we order on a cold Tuesday evening, given an expected home crowd of between 2900 and 3200? True or False, cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? What is the longest time a club has remained in the 3rd tier of the English Football League, and what do we need to do to ensure we surpass it? Where do all the baby pigeons live? Did Noah keep woodpeckers on his Ark, and if he did where did he keep them?
  21. Next time Ghost put your keyboard in with your delicates rather than the boil wash, cannae find my glasses
  22. I love these games. Is it an animal or vegetable? Is it Benito Mussolini, conqueror of Abyssinia and former dictator of Italy?
