  1. Cracking photos. The offices were originally a social club (mentioned earlier) when the conversion was done the changing room and tunnel were moved. Relatively recently as in 20 -30 years ago in a 100 year old stand. Incidentally one of my favourite quirks was the we flat bit at the front of the terrace that you can just about make out in that picture, we used play kick the can on when we were wee. Jumpers for goalposts and all that.
  2. The tunnel at the side is a relatively recent thing it was originally at the halfway line.
  3. Economical and practical. If you look at the old pictures the east terracing is much bigger than the west.
  4. I was under the west terracing roof at the Czechoslovakia game in 1973 and I'm also sure it was there on the 23rd of October 1971.
  5. What's the latest rules. I'm sure it used to be a competitive U21 or any senior international tied you down. Edited because I googled this- Any Player who ... [assumes] a new nationality and who has not played international football [in a match ... in an official competition of any category or any type of football for one Association] shall be eligible to play for the new representative team only if he fulfills one of the following conditions: (a) He was born on the territory of the relevant Association; (b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of the relevant Association; (c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant Association; (d) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant Association. — FIFA.com Carry on. Just talking to myself.
  6. A poster called John McVeigh used to call St Mirren St M1nge. So Div did his thing.
  7. As the the energy source is free and the pump would only need to be operational when the wind turbines are producing excess energy, then surely the efficiency of water pumps is less of an issue. And having the 2 side by side or even wind turbines in the reservoir itself would cut down on the environmental impact of 2 separate power stations, plus reduce transmission lines.
  8. I might be a bit naive here. But, why isn't there combined Hydro and wind farm. The problem they both have is they don't provide a reliable constant source. So why can't the excess energy produced when it's windy be used to pump water to high level reservoirs.
  9. I for one welcome our new chinese overlords.
  10. Yes. If the weather was like that in Blantyre Scotland, there would be a team of topless neds, a couple of staffies and a poly bag with the buckie in it.
  11. From what I've been told in the past the press conduct a 30 minute interview then base the article on a throwaway comment about how player A supported Rantic as a boy.
  12. I think it should be psv licence and Kingsley drives the team bus.
  13. £2.58 is a good price for a personalised T shirt.
  14. I went to a funeral once the master of ceremonies must have got his funerals mixed up. He kept on about some war hero in the middle east. Apparently he died to save us then turns out he wasn't really dead (I imagine things were a bit chaotic in Iraq) and had a big meal to celebrate, then really died. The mc must of realised his mistake just in time and managed to get in a quick 2 minutes about how loved my auntie May was.
  15. Can someone help me work this GERS thing out. One side is saying the figures show Scotland is fucked as part of the UK, so we should stay and the other is saying no we're doing great as part of the UK so we should get out. I'm confused.
