  1. Already mentioned on another thread - think John Beaton, Bobby Madden , Andrew Dallas and Willie Collum will stay in Scotland though
  2. Your lot made the back pages for all the wrong reasons today - "Wullie Gibson die in your sleep" is being reported as the disgraceful chant from the Somerset Park terracing.
  3. I swigged many a bottle of that on the old terracing at Broomfield Altogether now - "One Sweet Pomagne, theres only one Sweet Pomagne"
  4. Met Pete Waterman at a model railway exhibition in Glasgow, Pete is right into his model trains. Literally bumped into Boris Johnstone at GAtwick Airport, he was hurrying for a plane and barged past me, bugger never even sayed sorry.
  5. Noticed the Sun on Sunday had more column inches of reports of the two games than most of the cup games, shape of things to come obviously.
  6. The annoying thing for me is that (purely selfishly) I actually would like to see a 12 club Championship run along the same format as the top league as it would give Airdrie a much better chance of promotion, however if the cost is letting the mini scum in - no way!
  7. If you dont apply it might reflect badly on you (think we had these ones recently though)
  8. Put it down to a senior moment - sorry (threre,s always change at Agnews as the old ad used t say)
  9. Aye Well the die has been cast on the managerial front, not totally convinced but sometimes it is better the Devil you know etc. Happy to see that it is a one year extension as if he does not do the business this coming season then he should definitely not be given longer, that said it might give the management team the motivation to succeed. Given the trouble Falkirk are having selecting a suitable replacement we have probably done the best we can. As has already been said it is now up to Murray and Aitken to find a squad that can achieve promotion, this league is winnable this year - Falkirk are still in a mess, Cove are not invincible, Alloa are possibly on the wain and I am not convinced about this so called Juggernaut that is Queens Park, we managed 2nd this year despite not being consistent, so if we can get rid of the dead wood and bring in some good signings we potentially could just do it. You don't often hear me being optimistic but I think this could be the best chance we have had for many years.
  10. Talking of Football Games - I used to have this one - Penalty Football Cards it was actually one of the best football games I played.
  11. If you are ever up in Edinburgh make a point of visiting the Museum of Childhood on the Royal Mile, a very interesting place but made me feel bloody old when I saw the number of toys I used to have listed as Museum artefacts..
