  1. must say I'm a bit disappointed in the line up. An awful lot of "Blands" appearing, especially Snow Patrol and Keane. Wouldn't mind seeing the Editors, Bloc Party and Hot Chip, but not sure it's worth the effort for just those three. Those who you who have been to this sort of event before, roughly how long a set does each band play?
  2. we don't want to know about your bizarre sexual practices Kevin!
  3. Can anyone understand the fuss the coags are making about their water being cut off yesterday? Apparently a cooncil worker cut through a pipe and ten thousand of the smelly bastards were without water for up to twelve hours. Frankly I'm surprised any of them noticed.
  4. another reason for not getting one is in case we are taken over by a totalitarian regime who decide to ban football and have a purge of anyone found to have been a supporter of a team. It would prove difficult to pretend that you have never had anything to do with it if you had a bloody great Saints badge tattoed on your left buttock, because make no mistake that's where they'd look first.
  5. couldn't agree more, dreadful if folk get on his back at matches. It's fine to come on here though and say he's pish.
  6. Quite fancy the badge, but knowing my luck the club would change it immediately the swelling went down!
  7. Guitar/Vocals - Stuart Adamson (Skids, Big Country) Guitar - Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe) Bass - Tony Butler (Big Country) Drums - Mark Brezicki (Big Country) Keys - Rick Wakeman (Yes)
  8. I have to say I pretty much agree with Big Cheese on this. The sad thing for Kernaghan is that even if you gave him the benefit of the doubt regarding Clyde, his currency as a manager will have been seriously affected by the Dundee episode. I have to admit to thinking Kernaghan would have been a good choice for Saints post Connolly but now I'm sure as hell glad I'm not the chairman.
  9. totally weird, I've just signed up for this within the last few minutes. I was looking for info on a band called Super Distortion and came across Last fm. It's pretty good. A bit like Spinner used to be before Yahoo took it over and ruined it.
  10. Kev I've always quite liked the combination of colours in a West Ham top, so I'll open the bidding if I may. £25?
  11. I read that Blancmange are due to make a comeback. If anyone asks I'll happily provide much info on the Ravi Shankar influenced early 80s electro duo. Living on the ceiling, no more room down there.
  12. Jakey isn't entirely unattractive but she's not a very nice person. I'm sure Enid was much more pleasant, albeit a bit of a boiler.
  13. Just been listening to Client's "Rotherham Sessions". Vector Lovers and M83's first album "Dead Cities..." on in the car this morning.
  14. Jimmy's music tips: This week I 'ave been mostly listening to Jagged by Gary Numan
  15. sorry, too hot for me, £30 for the ball
  16. What about reenacting the Battle of the Clans every home game at half time. We could get our notorious hooligan element to have a good scrap with another 22 nominated by the opposing team. Each fan could be given a board with a green pepper or tomato and vote for who we thought did the best. The winning "clan" would then be free to go whilst the losers get a night in the cells and another kicking from Tayside's finest. There we go summary justice and entertainment all in one.
  17. Kevin, I attended a Dundee Stars ice hockey game a few months back and was really impressed with the way they entertained the crowd. At the breaks they do things like letting all the kids on the ice doing a competition to see who can get a puck closest to a target, and they win a prize (a Stars top or something worth having). I suppose the penalty shoot out isn't that far from that idea but could maybe be spiced up a bit and not just open to kids pre picked. Maybe they could be picked at random from the crowd in some way. The Aberdeen thing Saintkev mentions was good where they stuck a big cover with ball size holes in various spots over one of the goals at half time, and some (usually fat drunk bloke) fans got to take shots. I thought that was quite entertaining especially as the fat drunk bloke usually fell flat on his arse. OK, here's a really serious idea. Get a set of medieval stocks, stick Stewart Duff in and have fans pay to throw wet sponges at him.
  18. If the club are absolutely bloody minded and determined to do something for charity they could always donate the proceeds of the sale. That way everyone is happy. 8)

  20. Aw, well done Kevin. This story made me greet. Glad to hear a happy ending
  21. I accept he was ok, but no more than that, in our first season down, but the year before I thought he was simply a passenger. I remember one particular game against Motherwell in the season we were relegated which typified his contribution. We lost the game, but played quite well, apart from Murray who did absolutely nothing. He played on the left that day and ran about between the 18 yd box and the half way line a bit but never touched the ball. He didn't make horrendous errors or anything like that, but I just couldn't believe how little he offered. Anytime I saw him play for Thistle at right full back he was pretty bad, both in the year he played for them in the SPL and in their descent to Div 2. I believe he was a particular target for their fans venom last season. I've no idea how well, or otherwise he has played this year, but I don't want him at McDiarmid. I have nothing in particular against the guy, but he inspires nothing in me other than sleep.
