    Christie and Shankland miss two great chances.

    Our overall play has been very good.

    Just lacking a wee but of class/composure at critical ti es.

    Still 1-0, 64 mins. 

    McGinn joins the list although not as much of a sitter as the two above.

    Very impressive opening 20 minutes.

    Great football, the odd slack pass at times but been the better side so far.

    Only a great save by the Dutch goalie stopped a Christie header hitting the back of the net. 

    0-0 22 mins. 

    1-0, out of the blue, good strike, a bit too much time/space.

    Probably one of the things we lack, a player who can/will strike it from outside the box.

    41 mins.

    I agree, in terms of gigs I’ve only seen, Chuches, Placebo and the Martyn Bennett Grit Orchestra there and felt that the sound bounced about a bit so there was almost an echo effect. 
     

    In general I will avoid gigs at the hydro but Elvis Costello was a gift and love the intensity of a Nick Cave gig but the English dates didn’t work for me. 

    That was exactly what I said to Mrs Faraway at the Marti Pellow gig.

    Both he and his support act were overly echoey at times.

    Would Gary Neville get away with this nowadays..................:lol:

    Gary Neville on playing against Liverpool:
    "I used to love playing at Anfield, 90 minutes worth of insults about my appearance, mainly from blokes who looked like extras off Planet of the Apes. I remember one game, a little chubby lad shouted "Oi Gary, my Dad says you're a w*nker!
    " | turned round and said "Yeah? I've got 8 Premier League medals, what have you got besides diabetes? You fat little tw*t!"
    He was in floods of tears, that's what the rivalry is all about.
     
  6. Just watched a short, 15 min, round up of Murrays win and it was good to see him moving well. :thumbs2

    He won umpteen points from just getting to drop shots.

    Really needs a win in this next match, not sure if he's won two on the bounce this year.

    Unlike you, I've got a life to get on with and I don't spend all of my time on here like some.  I've enjoyed taking a break from reading your non-stop bullshit!

    What is wrong with you?  A supposedly "fully grown man" bitching about "likes"?

    I have to agree with others on here who think you're not well.  Definitely not the full shilling in some way.

    :lol:

    The forum, after another nail delivered recently, is on it's last legs anyway.

    As for your question, I'd assume the current moderator will do his usual and monitor the forum closely. :lol:

    Tickets now bought for Nick Cave at the hydro in November, second half of the year shaping up nicely with Elvis Costello, Pixies (again) and Arab Strap also booked. 

    I felt the acoustics/sound at the Hydro wasn't the best, what's your thoughts? 

  10. Our first overnight trip is not that far away, a week this Friday and the motorhome is starting to look like ours.

    Mrs Faraway has been busy buying stuff for the last few month and after the final minor issues being taken care of by the company we purchased it from it's now all go.

    Not going too faraway :rolleyes: for our first trip but it'll give us a chance to fully use all the facilities that the van has to offer.

    Looking forward to settling in, nice and cosy, few drinks and listening to some music as we relax with the dogs.  

  11. The untouchable NHS continue to piss money away at an alarming rate on legal bills settling negligence case made against them.

    While the general public continue to pump money in and the waiting lists get longer and longer.

    According to the disclosures, the total funds allocated to deal with outstanding and estimated claims comes to around £86 billion, almost two-thirds of NHS England’s entire annual budget for the financial year 2018-19 of £129 billion. To defend these cases, the public healthcare provider might incur associated legal costs as high as £4.3 billion. These startling figures include existing unsettled claims, along with the projected estimates for future cases.

    And Diallo must surely have won it now 4-3!

    Elliot dithered and boom, breakaway and well taken,.

    United have just about deserved it after being under the cosh for large parts of the game, showed resilience to come back.

    Rashford finally gets one on target 3-3 what a game.

    Give him, Rashford, credit after missing earlier chances.

    Disaster for Liverpool, gifted possession and bang, all square.

    Oh, McTominay just past the post.

    Aye mate, what a game of football.

    Goal for Liverpool, deflection for Elliott. 2-3

    I've been critical of Elliot as he usually takes a touch, or three, too many.

    A large slice of luck, looked as though it was originally headed for the opposite side of rhe goal but if you have a go you've always got a chance.

    United will be hurting, they looked the likelier to score.
