  1. I can't be arsed getting upset at some of these apparent sexist or racist remarks and I admit that some make me laugh. I'm not sexist or racist. I still get Irishmen telling me Scotchman, Englishman and Paddy jokes. Am I bad because I laugh and don't get upset?

    No, you're just someone who turns down a Springsteen ticket.......

  2. Commentators mentioning during the game.

    Manchester United

    Manchester City

    Chelsea

    Spurs

    Arsenal

    Leicester City

    David Beckham

    1966

    Don't forget the European Championships will get a mention, in fact probably several, with Gareth Bale being "the talisman for a currently excellent Welsh side".

  3. Based on our pre season visit last year, I still find it a horrible set up from the road to the front of the stand. There's still so much of the design that looks the same.

    Well, due to the fact I came traipsing in on my todd about ten minutes after kick off, and there weren't that many of us there in the first place, it wasn't something that bothered me a great deal. However, I did find it a bit of a pain in trying to actually locate the flipping entrance to which we were supposed to be allocated, so I get where you're coming from.

  4. One tunnel or three, it's irrelevant when you are herded to one.

    I did a college project on Health & Safety many years back and Hillsborough was the chosen subject. The tunnel set up was like a pitchfork; there was one main tunnel then, further down the passage, there was one off to each side. So as you'd come in from the turnstiles you would be contained in the central section which, by a certain point, would have had fans backed up beyond the other two entrances. Therefore creating one tunnel full of people at the main entrance.

    Yes, there would have been a means of escape for some but if you'd gone straight ahead, realised the situation, decided to turn back & go into an adjacent pathway you wouldn't be able to as a load of others would have come in at your back.

    Either way, this is smoke and mirrors to the main issue, namely that the match commander admitted his folly and his responsibility.

  5. There are people who think that Stuart adds to the forum, as he generates a "following" who take great delight in pouncing on his every word.

    Does he believe the stuff he posts?

    I happen to believe it's a mixture of belief and a serious effort to annoy/wind up.

    Whatever it might be he makes a serious effort to cause disruption, slightly counterbalanced by the odd "like me" post.

    The issue is that people regularly jump into his world, which makes it easier for him to continually feed the desire to have a go at him.

    An attention seeker, most definitely, and damn good at it, but the real issue is the continual responses he gets to feed this desire.

    No point in getting all "angry" at him, either let it go or ignore him, although there is an equal need to respond from many.

    He provides a service, and a important outlet for many, weird, eh?

    Who is this person to whom you are referring.....? blink.png

  6. I had an excellent evening last night.

    Apparently it has been much busier than usual this year.

    Usually just walk in the door at 4.30, but we had to queue for 90 minutes.

    Well worth the wait though, as the beers were excellent, and there were very few that I had ear marked before the event, that weren't available.

    If you're going today, get there early.

    Fortunately, despite turning up after 4 on the Friday, I didnae have to queue at all. thumbup2.gif

  7. I think it is you know.

    3 league defeats and a Cup defeat as well.

    Ah well; my mistake. Stick that alongside the Virgil Vigil, Kenny Deuchar for SMFC, the misspelling of Reg Brealey and this:-

    The last club in Scotland to go into administration or liquidation was Rangers. Not one other club has done so since.

    Hearts and Dunfermline both went into admin after the original Rangers went bust

  8. Wedding Present and Wonder Stuff on Friday, Churches and Twilight Sad a week on Saturday, RM Hubbert next month Adam Ant in June and Placebo in December.

    The year is shaping up not bad.

    Some decent stuff there, Placebo in particular.

    Downside is it is the hydro, taking my 12 year old for his first proper gig.

    The downside is that you're taking your wean.....?

  9. That's because the odds are that a move breaks down after 5 passes!

    Why would you want to string 5 passes together when 50% of all goals come from a move of 1 pass or less!

    Leicester City make less passes than anyone in the Premiership. They have the worst passing accuracy and the least amount of possession. They also play more long balls than any other team, most of which are unsuccessful and give the ball away more than anyone else.

    But, crucially, of the passes the do make, they make a greater % in the attacking third than any other team... And its usually on the break against disorganised defences.

    And they are going to win the fcuking league!

    Hiya Captain! Hiya pal!!! bye1.gif

  10. I know this is a long shot as most in this thread seem to have a modicum of musical taste, but I have two tickets for Coloursfest at Braehell for sale. Face value is £40 each. Will sell for £60 for the pair if anyone's interested.

    PM me if you fancy them.

    By the way, SLF were feckin amazing, although getting a cuddle from a sweaty, topless Zippy is a memory I will never shake.......
