Ah Jeez. Will be interesting to see where they go with this, seeing as they've already deviated from the main plot on the film. At first I thought Billy Bob Thornton's character was different take on Steve Bucemi's one in the film, but after seeing the trailer for the next episode, I am starting to think he's an entirely new one altogether.

Saw that. Cracking pick. United legend Jacky Kay in the centre with the "Guy Pierce in Lawless" style centre parting. Was talking about this pic yesterday. They have the location wrong, it's taking along the sandeman street terracing, now the George fox stand, looking towards the corner with the shed.

HOW GOOD was that last scene.....

I always wondered about the Main Stand at Fir Park as well. The yellow steel frame that sticks out towards the away end. My Dad told me it was put in so they would have the option to extend it the full length if they ever wanted, but I imagine its also planning permission problems.

Never understood the single column of seats at each stand behind the goals in the newer stands at Tynecastle. Is that for season ticket holder with no mates?

We reckon this is the United team from 1966 just after beating Barcelona at Tannadice. Jimmy Briggs (extreme left) and Billy Hainey (extreme right) enjoying a fag in the dressing room.

Another one at Tannadice, the Main Stand (now Jerry Kerr Stand) under construction in the early 1960s. Excellent Health and Safety standards at work here.

There was a kind of "natural progression" to becoming a Shedboy.... Family member would take you to first game, either in the Main Stand or the Sandeman Street Enclosure. Then you would move over towards that corner, with the high wall. Then gradually make your way into the Shed, closer and closer to the middle. Then you suffered your first face plant with one of those mental surges! And that was it, you had qualified.

Didn't know you were mates with Neil Cooper? lol

Found it!

Absolutely fantastic thread. Was about to post loads of Tanandice, but noticed Desert Nomad has been there first. I'll just add comments to his pics...

Absolutely superb tonight. Back on form, and no doubt will have the last two episodes making more sense on a rewatch.

Agree with Jock, a bit old fashioned, but once you get into that way of writing they're great. It's clever the way they are presented though, through the eye's and words of Watson from him Journal (loved the modern day take with the blogs!). It was a clever way of writing it, a bit like Dracula and how it was written as diary entries. To be honest, the best way to get through them is with audio books, although make sure you get someone with a British accent. The American ones are awful!

Agree, without actually following the old stories at all, there IS little winks and nods throughout. "The Game is Afoot.....On!". Anybody notice in the first episode, when Sherlock returns to fly through cases with Molly as his assistant, there was a mention of a woman who's online boyfriend had stopped making contact, and within seconds Sherlock had deduced that it was her Stepfather behind it? Only lasted seconds, but was straight from the ACD story "A Case of Identity" from the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'm sure there's a few more over all the episodes. Glad I read this thread again..... had a look at the Digital Spy forum, and started to think I was the only one who has enjoyed the last two episodes! I can see where some are coming from, that with only 3 episodes per season, there's no room for character development. But the comedy moments have been fantastic, and you just know that both episodes are building towards part 3... just as the last two series have done.
