  1. And yet it was Stirling Albion that initiated this move not the council. Don't understand the lack of control you speak us. Clyde couldn't play their playoff final at home so the games were switched and, I hear, Queen's Park heard about the switch on the radio not through the official channels so late in the day was the switch. Cowdenbeath had a similar problem two seasons ago and gave up home advantage in the playoffs over Dunfermline. Stirling Albion have priority for any date at Forthbank over any booking and that includes fucking cat shows Meadowbank/Edinburgh City! (Wee reference to late 80s/early 90s there) We had a spell where a few games were cancelled and the owners of the club (oh aye that us fans) had a serious discussion about going plastic. That discussion has died a death as the grass surface is back to its magnificent best and will presumably be even better next year when the turf is fully grown. We are not talking about disgraceful surfaces like Berwick's, Brechin's or Motherwell's of recent years, we are talking about improving something which was already great.
  2. A Berwick fan criticising another team's pitch is like asking Gary Glitter his view on child protection procedures! Once we sorted out the drainage problem we had, the Forthbank pitch returned to its former glory and was easily the best pitch in the division for the second half of the season. The version I heard was that there is a specialised drainage system which prevents water from the nearby Forth getting in but the water can get out (pumped out?) Anyway, no-one knew how to use the drainage system - possibly due to people changing jobs - so the Soutars Sportsturf company had people who knew how to work it and demonstrated the necessary know how.
  3. Pull out of the tournament if the pitch is not ready. Think we should boycott tournaments sponsored by gambling companies. Could be undefeated next season if they get rid of challenge cup.
  4. Arbroath definitely hold the world record score of 36-0 for a football team against a cricket team who received an invite by mistake.Definitely something to be proud of, very proud.
  5. Still think we will be changing manager come Nov. Hope I'm wrong.
  6. It was Statement Man (aka Pete Statman) who started that rumour on Heff so I'll be amazed if there is even 1% truth in it.
  7. They did for a brief time. Pretty sure it was sheephead there too.
  8. The clocks are changing soon so lets's get the campaign started to bring back the naturists.
  9. Peter Jackson has been interested in remaking the Dambusters. Probably would have by now if he wasn't obsessed by the rings of hobbits. With decent cgi the Dambusters could be excellent. Jeezo, imagine the bouncing bombs coming at you in 3D! That leaves the awkward question of what Barnes Wallace's dog might have to be called in the remake?
  10. I read Fenners is the Boss as well as presenter going by some tweets. Presume that means he is top producer or something. The comedy slots seemed to be gone (for the moment anyway) but they were tired anyway and the gags often were just shite (as opposed to shite but well delivered). I absolutely loved the days of Fenners and Sheephead on the comedy skits. We'll see if the show evolves away from the golden period under Fenners or not. Bring back "Light Drizzle" I say.
  11. What a season - funniest ending ever. As rotten as they are, I hope they get a "Rangers Man" in as their new manager and not someone who would clear out the shite and breathe fresh air into the place.
  12. Have a gentle dig at Ibrox on the day they celebrated 140 years of "continuous" history - with that break in the middle of course.
  13. Was in the seating last time at Hampden but going to be standing this time. Cannae wait. I had a spare ticket which took less than 10 minutes to find a home! Ride On!
  14. Who was the guy at the end of the last episode?
  15. Wee Malky might be calling it a day after the stroke he had last year. Sad way for them to go out if true.
  16. Hopefully no-one will remember Pepsi and Shirley's murdering of Free's All Right Now with all the she's turned into he's, etc. How did they never make it?
  17. I hate tattooes. Just think what it'll be like when your wrinkly and the grandkids are taking the piss out of you after they go out of fashion (and they will!)
  18. Naw, I teach there but cannae remember that name. Apologies for the grammar too.
  19. Big fan of the Good Wife. Some great storytelling most weeks and some great twists. I think my wife fancies Callinda more than I do. Thinks it's the boots.
  20. Goldfinger. Bond Turns Pussy Galore back from being a lezzie on the last page. Sure the PC police will get it removed eventually.
  21. Best one I've ever seen was late nineties outside public bowling in Renfrew: P155 AFF On the ferry back from Larne to Troon (Mon 5.30 sailing coming back from Scotland in Dublin) there was a car with a plate very close to saying "Arsehole" but can't remember the actual plate.
