  1. Agree, considering we played 3 up, we just didn't get enough players in the box despite having good possession in good areas. Created a lot after Martin came on cos we changed the shape. Needed players to run past Griffiths and needed someone to attack the front post like Martin did for the goal (and Kane did for Englands goal)
  2. No Happy wi the starting 11. With Brown and Armstrong missing I can't believe he has picked Bannon who I think is a decent player and Forrest ahead of McGinn and McGregor who I think would have brought guile and energy. Hope I'm wrong and Bannon has a stormer
  3. Barry Ferguson had put house in Wife's name (in 2011) prior to bankruptcy hearing. They teach them well down Govan way!! WATP (We ain't tax payers!!) http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15432375.Former_Rangers_star_Barry_Ferguson_transferred_luxury_mansion_into_wife_s_name_before_bankruptcy/
  4. Les is my brother. I remember Street People.
  5. Don't think that included the repayment of the £5 million to Mike Ashley, so does that make it a £5.5 Million loss in that 6 months?
  6. Rangers are using exactly the same tactics to unsettle O'Halloran as they did with Scott Allan and Mark Warburton talks about Respect for other teams. I think it will be the same result, they don't have the money.
  7. I think Mike Ashley is perfectly correct to challenge the Fit and Proper Person decision by the SFA following the Court of Session decision on Rangers use of EBT's. At the time of the SFA decision on this, the EBT System used by Rangers had been declared "lawful" by Lord Nimmo Smith. Now that the Court of Session has shown it to be wrong then would he have passed the FPP scrutiny if this was the position at that time. I don't believe he should have, although I have no vested interest unlike some in the SFA.

    Scott Allan

    Apparently the deciding factor in Scott Allan signing for Celtic was when someone told him his boyhood heroes didnae exist anymore and that the club who couldnae afford him were indeed a tribute act!!
  9. Ibrox has just ben renamed as the Mike Ashley Sports Stadium, wonder how the orcs will feel about attending MASS every week!!
  10. Interesting take on the MASH Statement and good read. http://www.onfieldsofgreen.com/billy-get-your-guns/
  11. Does anyone else remember when all of the Lifeboys/Boys brigade companies came together and put on a show at Perth Theatre. I was in the 9th at the time but moved to the 17th soon after so I didnae have to get the bus to town as I lived in Strathtay Road. Think it was around about 71/72 maybe earlier. it was called Alex in Wonderland I think? Remember marching down the aisles and on to the stage at the end singing "For We're BB Companies from near and far, in every little thing we do we are, most cheerful and gay, chasing troubles away with the songs we sing for you" The innocence of youth!!
  12. As a Hibs supporter I've been looking forward to the play-off semi-final with excitement and a bit of anxiety. However after the announcement that Dave King has been passed as Fit and Proper I'm absolutely desperate fro Hibs to beat The Rangers. How under any evaluation can a convicted Tax Cheat, Liar and Director of a Company/Club who have been liquidated in 2012 be passed as FPP is disgraceful. I really fear for the future of Scottish Football as the people running it are morally bankrupt. Add in the timing of the announcement and you might just think there was an agenda!! Although I've lived in England for more than 28 years I've never stopped supporting Hibs and Scotland, but today I feel so let down and I'm embarrassed by the SFA and SPFL. Cmon the Hibees (minus Petrie)
  13. Craig Whyte and Aiden Earley re-appointed as Directors of Sevco 5088. Graham Wallace on the verge of re-signing as CEO of The Rangers. Also some really "interesting" blogs on this site. http://www.philmacgiollabhain.ie/
  14. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24671184 Hopefully good news
  15. Mr Thompson - History Teacher (ginger hair) Mr Mckay - Maths Teacher (ran the school football team) Both early to mid 1970's (i left in December 75) at Perth Academy Both Top Blokes and good teachers
  16. If every professional player worked as hard as Kenny Miller us supporters would have little to complain about. He wore the shirt with pride no matter who he was playing for. Still Remember his 2 goals v Sevco, Newco, The Rangers or whatever they are called now in 2000
  17. Jimmy O'Rourke and Joe Baker - London early 90's at a London Hibs night. Joe Baker was pished but funny. O'Rouke was great company. Bobby Robson - June 1999. He was staying at the same resort as me in St Lucia. He liked a drink, lucky is was all inclusive, i didn't mind "buying". He was there with his agent talking to the St Lucian FA about becoming the national team manager. Had a drink with him on a couple of evenings. Got some photo's of my daughter who was about 7 at the time sitting on his knee. Really lovely man. Ricky Hatton - In a bar one afternoon in Tenerife in June 2005, couple of weeks after he fought Kosta Tszyu. He was on holiday with his brother and a few mates. Knocking back the Guiness like there was no tomorrow. Ended up playing pool against him. Beat him 3 times and then he beat me. He was really fuuny it was just like being in the pub with one of your best mates.

    Andy Murray

    Character, Guts and Ability. How proud we should be of him. Arise Sir Andrew Murray.
  19. Whilst i absolutely agree that Sir Alex has been the best ever club Manager, I was really annoyed when he did not take over the Scotland job in 86, it still irks me a little and is probably why i'm not too fond of United. But credit where it is due, amazing achievement what he has created and re-built over 26-27 years.
  20. I was in the 9th when i was about 6 or 7, St Leonards, now an Auction House!! We used to meet in a hall in the New Row. Joined the 17th when i was about 13 or 14. Played football with BabyChunder and our mate Bobson about 73-75. Also played for Perth City Boys Club U16 then Jeanfield U16. later played for PC Bob Menzies at St. Johnstone U18 then Tulloch U18's (great side we had, Sandy Watt, Choccy McEwan, Alan Anderson, and loads more Letham and tulloch lads).
  21. My local pub, The Plough in Ifield, Crawley runs a race day every year. We go to Sandown on the Saturday closest to 31st August. Usually about 60 of us on the coach. Meet at the Pub about 8.30am for breakfast and a pint, get the coach to Esher, arrive about 10.30, few beers in the local pubs then off to the track, back on the coach after the races to Ewell for a night out. The Breakfast, the coach, entry to the races and entry into some lucky dips on the coach all for £60. Brilliant day out with friends and neighbours. Dave, the guy who runs it lets you stick away £10, £20 or whatever ££ a week from January so you have a nice little pot come race day.

    Deacon Blue

    Saw Deacon Blue at Wembley Arena and in Brighton about 1989 or 1990. There were excellent. Then saw them at Glastonbury in 2011 there were awesome, really got the audience going.
