  1. The high point of my gig going life so far was the rendition of this at the Appolo then the crowd sang the refrain instead of the usual call for an encore i genuinely had a wee tear that night, he was an incredible man
  2. Going into Europe with a squad based on this one would do more harm than good so maybe a blessing in a very ugly disguise today
  3. Those delivery drivers are getting lazier, couldn't they park up and walk to the door? I used to live in McIntyre place and in the 2 years I was there there were 3 crashes at that bend near the top of the hill. Likewise the house on Stanely road opposite Balgonie woods where the owners would find a crashed car in the front garden on a regular basis. The guy who repaired the garden wall was on to a regular payday.
  4. a quick review of notable away defeats should yield the answer? Being serious, it will be a really long time ago. I think we were short of the 3000 mark at Motherwell for the big escape. WE didn't get near that number of tickets for the play-off v United. Maybe we had that number at Easter road for the championship escape season but I doubt it. The current grounds with a physical capacity for 3000 away fans are very few. Maybe Aberdeen, up until a few years ago Tynecastle, Easter road but we never sold out the whole away end the last time we got it. If it has happened in the last 25 years then it could only have been at Motherwell or Killie and if it didn't happen then? Well my best guess is the 80s at one of the Glasgow piggeries or in Edinburgh.
  5. He is now up against 5th seed Rublev and so a perfunctory 2-set win is invaluable to him. Don't see Murray beating Rublev easily, if at all, but he has looked good in his first match. If he has that serve sorted out then he has a puncher's chance.
  6. My next door neighbour is a sound engineer and is overseeing the installation and testing of all the sound systems across the stadium. Says it's the best project he has ever worked on, bar the occasional protest about the money not going on the team.
  7. I could have worded that better, playing them at home will be a big leveller as we folded at Tynecastle. Winning v Killie, Well and Hearts will be a dream end to this phase and the likelihood is we will get to beat Hibs again after the split. All of a sudden, 4th is becoming a real possibility.
  8. The fact that he seems to do better from the bench might indicate that he is being briefed by the coaches and knows exactly what to do by the time he gets on the field. He is good at upsetting a game that has settled into a pattern. the next step is for him to read the game better when starting and having a wee bit more variety At that point we will have quite a player on our hands
  9. I didn't watch that game on Sportscene, so I'll take your word for it McInnes seems very combative about it so it maybe emphasises the impact of him not playing.. On another note, I think the 2 week break is a good reset for us and we will be close to full strength for the first time in months. The game against Killie is massive for us (as is away to Motherwell) at this point as we will need a cushion going into the last 2 pre-split games. We should beat Motherwell if we can beat Killie, who are away at Tynecastle that day and at best looking at a point there, and I'd say that Killie have 2 very winnable fixtures in their last 2 pre-split games. I'd like to think we have the beating of Hearts at least once every season but a point in that one would do. If we can go into the split with a 3-6 point cushion over Killie then we really only need to beat them one more time and I'm guessing that the post-split game will be in Paisley.
  10. Mayo is currently suspended for our game at Killie They have appealed the red card so he may play
  11. Cracking shot of big Peter Browett in the crowd on TV after the winner. Made my day
  12. It's certainly been worse in recent seasons and there have been characteristic slips and slides by players in the last two winters I think that generally across Scotland, the re-seeding season was hot & dry last year so cue heavy sprinkling and following that the early growing season was wet and not as warm. Maybe we should be looking at re-turfing as I THINK we tend to re-seed every season. Very short close season last year for our pitch following the world-cup break so if out grass didn't seed and bed in very well it didn't have the recovery time.
  13. Magnificent to see O'Hara Playing again, and scoring and from a penalty too. Great for his confidence and Toyo gets his reward again
  14. He was talking about you, not to you, so technically not trolling. I would have thought that you would have spotted that from your vantage point under the bridge
  15. Well done saints, we didn't blow it and we are 4th again. Going in the right direction again at last II didn't think we had a double in us so late on but perseverance seems to be our motto these days
  16. wow, the posse is out in force today. All 2 of you
  17. I think we all know better on that score, don't we?
  18. even a draw would have us level, not to be i guess but bitterly disappointing that we continue to fall victim to those on a losing run
  19. Try watching the game without getting hammered for a change
  20. I kind of thought we could score a couple of goals I guess everything i say seems smart to you, but you are low-hanging fruit so there's not much credit in that
  21. Dundee ahead now and Killie down to 10 This is a great chance to catch Killie, surely we won't blow it
  22. Maybe should be included in under 16 and family season tickets
  23. BBC reporter Mike Bushell had him attending a meeting at "Lake Lo-mond" today Mike also told us that Scotland rugby hadn't beaten England 4 times back-to-back "since the "1800s" (it was 86 years after the 1800s)
