    Dunno if you can still manage it but if you get the round trip bus journey from Toronto to Casino Niagara and fill in the relevant admin work you can get there and back for a very cheap price. Well, I did anyway.....

    Raith Rovers were expected to vote for the SPL. The had 10000 seats, had just been relegated and IIRC were sitting top of the First Division. The shock vote was St Mirren. Short of 10000 seats, a long way off promotion it was questionable how St Mirren could ever benefit from it. Yet John Paton went in and voted for the SPL.

    I remember Hugh Scott and Stewart Gilmour having a very heated debate on Radio Scotland over it and it being the only time I ever believed Hugh Scott was talking sense. Of course it soon became clear what had happened when Rangers paid St Mirren a wad of cash for their under 21s to play at Love Street.

     

    Round about the time the Saints On-line Guestbook had someone called Law Stud proclaiming himself to be a better supporter of the club than anyone else. So no complaints at the time of SMFC's behaviour, oddly enough.........

    Trident is to be renewed. MP's voted in favour 472 to 117. SNP are whinging about it, but we all know their agenda is to enforce Scots to endure endless bad news on the jobs front as they keep forcing job cuts on local authorities. 

    Great news, great news indeed

    Aye, fantastic. God bless the USA... :wink:

    To be fair to Craig Gordon he must've been a bit wary when he lost the goal; he'll probably remember what happened the last time someone representing Irish Republicanism was in Gibraltar and put their hands up......

    Anyway, why don't the demonstrators shut the f**k up. 

    Have they no work to do?

    Pointless people. 

    Aye, but this will have meant a lot to them so they'd have taken the day off work to make their voice heard. They may even have got their opinions from a taxi driver as well.........

    Jo Cox - Labour Mp

    in General Nonsense

    Posted · Edited by Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes

    My old man went out to buy a newspaper one morning and dropped down dead in the street. When I got told at work that day by the HR manager I said to him "Oh, right. Is it okay if I go home then?". Later on I was talking to one of my cousins and having a right good laugh with her. My dad taught me the pipes and at his funeral I played as he was lowered into his grave. I smiled and chatted to people at the gathering afterwards, having another good laugh with family in the pub later.

    Once it was all over and everyone went their separate ways then I broke down in floods of tears, and had sporadic moments thereafter for quite some time.

    However the husband of Jo Cox wants to deal with this issue is entirely up to him and any criticism is, as far as I'm concerned, somewhat unfounded. To then get into petty mudslinging and end up trading personal insults goes beyond the pale.

    Disappointed in you, faraway saint; you're a better man than that.

  14. Top 5 Friendlies To Relive

    Legia Warsaw game aside (cos I wasnae there) cannae disagree with any of them.

    My big cousin Liz was one of the cheerleaders at the Rowdies game. Oh the glamorous old days!

    ETA:- Mind you, beating Aston Villa in 1987 was good if only to get it right up their chairman Doug Ellis who'd denigrated the standard of the Scottish league prior to the match.

    I remember Tam from going to Mechelen but didn't properly meet him until after beating Falkirk at Love Street in April 2000. Had many a good blether & laugh with him since then.

    Last year at the friendly away to Sheffield Wednesday & stood at the bar having a pint with him rather than watch Saints get tanked 5-0. We talked about all sorts of nonsense and it was a right laugh.

    A great guy and very, very sad news. Thoughts are with Steven & the rest of the family. sad.png

  18. Music Gigs

    That's it for me. Confirmed. I've seen Led Zeppelin, The Who, U2, Queen in their pomp. AC/DC with Bon Scott, and REM in a sweaty packed Barrowlands. Elvis Costello is a genius and in their day Crowded House had the crowd in the palm of their hand.... but.... after being at Hampden last night...

    Bruce Springsteen is THE greatest live performer I will ever get to see in my lifetime, and the E Street Band are simply a force of nature.

    As I say, personally speaking, IMHO and all that.... The Boss is simply the best.

    Was that the first time you've seen him?

  25. Complain To The Bbc Hearts = Greetin Faced Wee Bottlers

    All Hearts had to do was draw,not win.All they had to do was keep the score the same as it was at kick off but they couldn't do it.......and that's our fault?

    ^^^^^ This ^^^^^

    The Hearts team of that era, which Alex McDonald created in his image, were vermin to say the least, and must be as despicable a bunch of thugs and villains assembled in one place at any time since I've been watching football.

    Then he left and did the same at Airdrie, who he also turned into pond life.

    If any of these dicks are still upset, it's great, and even more so that we've sent them packing in two semi-finals and a final since then.

    That arsehole Sandy Clark won't have been as keen to examine the surroundings to the shenanigans behind his 120th minute 'goal' in the semi-final replay at Hampden a couple of years earlier.

    Ah yes, how very, very sweet. :)
