    Good , that means the neanderthals will be f**cked for an early drink on Jan 2 !
  3. All over! An innings and 71 runs , too easy !
  4. Just in from the Bishy quiz and nice and comfy now with a cuppa watching England on the brink of an innings victory !
  5. FYI, Eric Paton is a much more highly rated defender than Mikey McGowan , and it took Danny long enough to make up his mind about him.
  6. We've had several right-back trialists over the past 3 months , I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to sign DL's ex Partick team-mate Eric Paton.
  7. Agreed , particularly the Searchers version with the intro which was way before it's time !
  8. He most certainly is ! Used to love Mock the Week to see the other"comedians" wincing at some of his gags. Particularly that wee prick Andy Whatshisname !
  9. This track record you speak of was marred by an horrendous start including the only defeat from Brechin City in our history. Were you calling for Gus's head back then the way you are now with Danny , or weren't you too interested because we were a lower half 1st division club? Whoever is in charge should be given more than 7 games to prove that they're up for it anyway. Gus did ok for 3 years , but after that he started believing his own press and in his eyes was bigger than the club itself. He was lucky to last as long as he did !
  10. By titling your thread in the way that you did , you were gloating , in true Gusophile style , that Danny was going to be copying your hero Gus , in that we would need to become hard to beat. What Danny actually said I'm not too clear about , because any reference to the previous manager is a turn-off for me , so I didn't read it !
  11. I saw him in the India Tyres Social club 30 years ago and he never mentioned an allegiance to the buds !
  12. Quite right Scott , it's the 'philes that can't let it go. FFS , even Div is starting threads in homage to our former employee. I for one , promise never to talk about him again on here , unless of course , a 'phile makes unsubstantiated claims about him !
  13. He has the Silent Majority of aliases on here !
  14. Funnily enough I mentioned the likeness to the Humphries , cheap option , situation during Saturday's game. The major difference is that the standard of current player at the club has been stripped bare due to the BODs reluctance to make any sort of money available despite our strong and safe financial position, whereas Humphries had some decent money to spend , bringing in the likes of Jim Blair(back from Hibs) for 30k and he already had good young players in Ally McLeod , Bobby McKean, Iain Munro and Gordon McQueen at the club. Danny has next to no money to spend and the failings of the previous regime has not afforded him the luxury of decent youngsters either. He is trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear , and it simply isn't fair on him !

    It is the same people who are opening the new restaurant . 'Tony & Giuliana Pierotti originally from Barga in the hills of Tuscany moved over to Scotland in 1962 and have been in the hospitality industry ever since. The original Piccolo Mondo was established in 1974 and was set up by Tony and Giuliana. The Piccolo Mondo won many accolades including its listing in Egon Ronay’s Lucas Guide in 1979, back to back “Casserole” commendation for excellence in 1984 & 1985 which was followed by the most prestigious title of all: in 1986 they were awarded “Best Restaurant in Britain” by Les Routiers. This was no mean feat considering more than 1600 restaurants participated from all over the UK. In 1989, Tony and Giuliana decided to sell the Piccolo Mondo and have regretted it ever since. Sometimes you do not appreciate what you have in life until you have lost them.'
  16. There's no way that a closet currant bun would know the big words that Gary Blues Silent Majority uses !

  21. Too many letters in Morsey?

  22. He played CH against us last winter and I thought he was outstanding !
  23. In case you've missed it , we've signed Marc McAusland , which puts paid to any deal for the German I would have thought !
