  1. In hindsight we should have gone for the £9.99 square metre underlay rather than a cheaper one but hey ho.
  2. THIS GIVES AWAY MY AGE Geoff Hurst - not a nice man. Booked him as an after dinner speaker when I was working in England. When I introduced myself to him before the event he was all " you jocks " this and that . Surly and a pain in the butt. Bertie Auld , what a nice guy. I was working in a restaurant as a barman and he came with his wife and two Rangers players and their partners. I was on £1 an hour and at the end of the evening he came over and thanked me for looking after them. He shoved a note in my jacket top pocket and went to leave. Expecting 10 bob note it was a fiver. Chased after him and he said he knew what he had given me and to enjoy it. While the others were waiting he stood for 10-15 mins chatting about fitba' and stuff.
  3. All of them, they come out with " expert " pish time after time , insulting the viewing punter. Wish they were more honest. " well, they are 3-0 down at half time, what do you think the manager is saying to his players in the dressing room? " " how the f*ck do I know? I'm stuck up here with you. Anyway, where's ma pie?"
  4. Sick to death of this lumping the ball up the park and hope we get a break . At start of Feb we were 10 points ahead of St Mirren and while not playing world beating football there was a unity and all for one ,one for all attitude. We're back to where we were at start of the season. Motherwell front men showed what good attackers should be doing, we were devoid of ideas and skill. Beer time now and hope that Accies are at least as shite as we are on Wednesday.
  5. Goodness me, surprise surprise, another forum hijacked by people who have no vested interest in the actual topic but would rather do OF points scoring. Bugger off to your own teams forum unless you want to comment on the actual game.
  6. Ok , see I'm not getting anywhere here. If they were ( are ) so bad , who should we play in their place on Wed If they are deserving of a 0 out of 10 on your assessment ? Seem prime candidates to be dropped.
  7. Brutal assessment sir/ madam and unjustified in many areas. If you were in midfield and saw the ball getting lumped over your head for 75 of the 90 mins you are going to have feck all influence on the game. These players have done the business for us this season and we know what they are capable of. To give 0 marks and call them " absolutely useless" is shit judgement. Who would you have in their place come Wednesday? We got done over by a better team on the day, it happens get over it or find something else to watch.
  8. I'm not having a dig either, but i think your question is a bit irrelevant as I don't think anyone on this forum is sufficiently ITK , to provide a correct answer. If you contact the club I'm sure you can guess what the response will be. Estimated 100 tons of snow on the pitch and pitch side to shift and temperatures to be below freezing at game time. Its not ideal for either team but best to be safe than sorry, eh?
  9. The cup final is a very welcome distraction both financial and prestige wise for both clubs. Given where Livi were in the league after 10 games we should not lose sight of the fact that 8 points ( or less depending on other results) from our next 6 games guarantees a top 6 place for 2 seasons in a row. Remarkable when survival was the primary aim. Saints were better than us yesterday so we take it on the chin and prepare for Hamilton.
  10. you really should be more sympathetic towards Livi, after all we may have to watch Curtis Main tomorrow night.
  11. Now that's just being plain silly BJK. Enjoy the rest of your evenings libations after giving the Sellik a good slapping. You deserve it.
  12. Delighted at the result, delighted a ref had bottle to send off that wee baldy thug but was sweating that the game was going to be abandoned with 10 mins to go. Hope our away dressing rooms were OK. Don't want any controversy implicating Hamilton ot St Johnstone.
  13. Neil Lennon - funny or fanny ? Looks to me like he's working his ticket. Sack me and pay the compen rather than endure the humilliation of finishing a) so many points behind Rangers b) perhaps not even finishing second. Detached from his boards statement , does not look good.
  14. You toddle off to your 3 sided " arena" in a bomb blast area chums in Leage 1 forum. Wait a minute you have a Astro pitch as well!
  15. Nope, unless you count the time when " Carpet Wise" we're called in to fit new underlay.
  16. Toryglen indoor facility with the heating turned up seems a great place for warm weather training or a winter break. Barrhead travel could have sorted it out in nae time.
  17. The real fear over this is that the Scottish Government decide to intervene and withdraw the " elite sportsman" privilege to Scottish football. Pull the plug on the whole season. No need then to dole out the £20 mil and we can then sit back and watch clubs fold quicker than a shit poker player.
  18. Sorry to say but I don't think John Hughes brand of football will be the answer to your seasons problems.. Hope I'm wrong and you somehow get a run going to stay up.
  19. they are going to be struggling for a competent manager then. Borders shut, nae flights, Brexit restrictions on foreign nationals getting jobs .Wee Nicola got us buttoned down tighter than a drum skin. Look at the gene pool of out of work managers available, Lennon staying which can only be good news for the rest of us.
  20. to go back to the topic, Big John has been solid for Livi basically since he signed. The team started off the season badly and he was just as culpable as other players. He certainly has come on over the past couple of months and knocking in a few goals as well. We've got Devlin and Fitzwater as well, just need Luke Leahy and we've got Walsall back line.
