  1. Slightly different point but did Fat Ally not say his players were a bit 'tired, jaded, etc' after the international break and that is why they were not at there best against the Buds. Then why the f*** are they playing a friendly this week, surely they should be in bed resting :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    SPOT ON im "tired" of the "tired" excuse
  2. I dont know why someone would say such a thing about a fellow fan who wants to use the same forum and comment on the same things that that person does in a very similiar way. Nothing tedious here buster, its all go go go with the big Tee Tom.

    :-)
  3. im the biggest knickerwetter of the lot so if my pants are still dry so should yours be. im happy with the way things are going and im confident lennon will pull another couple of great signings out the bag. danny lennon could actually be the man.

    i cant believe you said that pishy pants
  4. obviously the CIC project proposals are and will be slow but steady progression for the club but i also feel the club is progressing on the field.good players getting longer deals thus getting a return in the investment also there is always always always the chance of good cup runs and the money that brings with it (tv/the further you go the more money you get) so that tells me that although initially the CIC money wont kick in for a few years with a huge amount of luck in 2 years time we coukd possibly be at our most strongest financially with the prospect of looking to finish in the top 4 in 3 or 4 years time (as long as,by that time,we can hold on to that managerial giant that will be DANNY LENNON)

  5. oh when did ye get that????

    i think merci doesnt like you much - lets not invite her (sounds like a wuman's name) to our pants class!!!

    to echo mr broon - have a ball all of you that are going!

    Miss Saint.....that Faraway person is always like that on the match day thread...but to be honest i just think he is post building...hes like that,for example...."ok guys...only 5 minutes to go" doh!!!!!!

    yes but seriously ( always a bad way to start a sentance),ive sat many a day (when i cant get to a game) and i happen to notice Mr Faraway post building,i do have a chuckle :lol: but its always noted.....almost as much as your obsession with the "buddette's" thread....but we can only blame William for that :wink:

    anyway.....back to far far away.....he does look like sherk :P

  6. Being as I was in the hoose cos it was a school night (as in I had school the next day) then it would've been a bit difficult. Word has it, though, there was a ceasefire when they seen some bloke called gary stagerring down the street after kicking out time.

    Ah, the good old Four Minute Warning, eh? Them were the days! :lol:

    Punters wouldnae know what that is now.

    the four minute warning is now reserved for ejaculation

    which also gives you time to switch the telly aff at night :lol:

  7. Not really !

    You need to think about what you use your computer for. If it's purely browsing the internet, reading email, and doing the odd word document or spreadsheet then Ubuntu is great.

    I'd still say the average punter would be better off with Windows 7, it is a huge improvement on Vista in terms of speed and stability, and whilst Microsoft are always being attacked, they are MUCH better at dealing with security and threats than they ever have been in the past.

    You could always try Ubuntu, it is free after all, but I guarantee you that at some point you'll want to do something and you won't be able to because it isn't supporterd on Linux !

    Cheers!

    now get to the game :cheers

  8. Ubuntu readies the Karmic Koala

    What do French gendarmes, Andalucian school children, Wikipedia and San Francisco International airport have in common?

    It is not the set up for a tortuous pun. Instead all of them are big users of the free Ubuntu operating system.

    The French national police force runs its operations on the open source OS; computer systems supporting Spanish schools have their own version; the online encyclopaedia runs its hundreds of servers on Ubuntu and SFIA's internal computer system is based around it.

    Ubuntu is based on Linux - the open source operating system that is maintained, expanded and extended by legions of fans and professional programmers around the world. Thanks to their efforts Ubuntu has become the most popular of all the Linux distributions.

    On 29 October, version 9.10 of Ubuntu is released. All versions of the operating system have an alternative alliterative appellation. Ubuntu 9.10 is known as Karmic Koala.

    The launch comes in the wake of Microsoft's fanfare around Windows 7 - the latest incarnation of its flagship operating system.

    Factory mode

    While Ubuntu's developer Canonical can not quite match the hoopla surrounding Windows 7 for its launch, the software competes where it matters, said Chris Kenyon, one of Canonical's OS evangelists.

    "For the first time in 20 years you can buy Ubuntu pre-installed from more than one manufacturer," he said. "That's an extraordinary story."

    Faced with such consumer inertia it's hard to see Linux making much progress in boosting its miniscule market share

    Technology correspondent

    Read Rory's thoughts in full

    Computer makes HP, Dell, Toshiba and Acer now all offer the OS as a choice on machines people buy via their websites. The number of models varies by territory with the software proving more popular in some places than others.

    Dell China, said Mr Kenyon, has more than 40 models with Ubuntu available.

    Before now, he said, many people installed the software themselves on laptops and desktops that formerly ran Windows. Their experiences varied because the development effort that helps to keep Ubuntu updated sometimes lags behind what people are using.

    But, he said, with the software increasingly likely to be installed at the factory those days of frustration may be on the wane.

    "Hardware problems are only really solved through installation," he said. "That's going to become increasingly the case over the next 12 months."

    Competition time

    The steady march of technology was also removing many of those stumbling blocks that stopped people plumping for Ubuntu and kept them with Windows or Apple's OS X, said Mr Kenyon.

    Microsoft now lists Canonical under threats in its regular stock filing

    Some have been reluctant to move to Ubuntu and open source software because it would mean learning their way around programs that were the equivalent of what they used on older machines.

    But, said Mr Kenyon, the growing use of web applications - such as Google Docs - was eroding those differences quickly.

    "The web is making the compatibility part far easier," he said.

    To help with that ease of use Ubuntu 9.10 has Firefox 3.5 onboard that works with the many web-based programs, such as the BBC iPlayer, that are becoming increasingly popular.

    With the web levelling the playing field between the different OS makers, Mr Kenyon said the fact that Ubuntu runs faster and is more secure than rivals on the same hardware will convince many to try it.

    He admitted that some of the security of Ubuntu was down to the fact that cyber criminals do not target it in the same way as they do Windows.

    "Some of the security is through obscurity but it's also better by design," he said. "Fundamentally it requires you to run a safer system. It's there from the ground up."

    Canonical is also making it easier to road test Ubuntu with a "live mode" that lets potential users run it off a USB drive to check its compatibility with the hardware on their desktop or laptop.

    Evidence that it is being taken seriously can be found, he said, in the annual "10-K form" that Microsoft files with the SEC. Every public firm must file one of these to outline the market conditions and competitors it believes pose the greatest threat to its business.

    In 2009, for the first time, Canonical got a mention.

    Given that Microsoft recognises its success, Mr Kenyon is convinced that it's only a matter of time before Ubuntu's 12 million strong pool of users is joined by many more.

    "We're nearing a tipping point," said Mr Kenyon.

    Div,does this make any difference?

  9. I wonder if a return for Franco Miranda is still possible?

    I notice that the Argentine season has been postponed due to the debt crisis over there with many clubs unable to pay their players. It seems a strange logic that postponing games will improve cash flow though?? Although I did read it was a move to try and get the TV companies to stump up money earlier.

    Anyway, maybe Franco will be having a change of heart??...............

    There was a news item this morning about Argentinian football being in financial turmoil

    All clubs at all levels apart from the top "few"

    would it not be worth trying to get "at least" some of their players who would like a steady wage?

    or..as was reported..."loan" deals to lighten the various clubs wage bill

    never know till we try

    (or get Miranda back)

    :rolleyes:
