Johnny died and arrived in Hell. He was met by the Devil and was told that in the new kinder, gentler, more customer focused Hell, each person is offered three choices of torture. The Devil explained that these tortures run in 1,000-year cycles and you could pick which cycle to begin with. The Devil took Johnny to the first room where a man was hung up by his feet and was being whipped with chains. Johnny said he did not think that was where he wanted to start. They proceeded to the next room where a man was hung up by his arms and was being whipped by a cat-o-nine-tails. Johnny also declined this form of torture. The third room had a old man strapped to the wall naked, and a very beautiful young blonde woman was performing upon him. Johnny told the Devil this is more like it, and this was the one he wanted. The Devil said, "Are you sure? It lasts for a thousand years!" Johnny assured him this was the punishment he wanted. So the Devil walked over to the young blond woman and said ... ... "You can go now, I've found your replacement."

Murray? Already starting to rapidly fade in the memories. Wonder if he has any thoughts along the lines of "have I made a mistake" yet. -

Well at least Falkirk are in a playoff place, pity it is at the wrong end of the League -
The ultimate coupon buster!

Is the venue still Firhill? According to the PTFC website they are starting work replacing the Firhill pitch after their last home game, no mention of the playoff fixture(s)

Always was of the opinion that Jim Duffy is one of the biggest fuds in Scottish Football, would love to be able to ram those words in his face. Remember when Dunfermline were a Billy big baws Premier League side and a certain wee team from the league below paid then a visit? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/4584864.stm

Why Sharks Circle You Before Attacking... Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean discovered survivors of a ship that just sunk. "Follow me son" the father shark said to the son shark as he led him to the mass of people. "First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing." And they did. "Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing." And they did. "Now we eat everybody." And they did. When they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why didn't we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?" His wise father replied, "Because they taste better without all the shite inside!"

Songs, movies and shows that wouldn't be made nowadays

Till Death us do Part (Even though it was actually highlighting the absurdity of ALf Garnetts racism) Mind Your Language - (had just about every racial stereotype you could think of) It Aint Half Hot Mum - (racial slurs, homophobia) In fact just about any sitcom made in the 1960s/70s -
Unfortunately even if things go our way this could come down to goal difference, and Cove are twelve ahead of us on that, we would need to really start winning games by substantial amounts.

Noticed his managerial statistics with Falkirk were the best of his career - 63.6% win rate, think you would be happy with that right now.

Up until the Ross County Debacle, every time there was a managerial vacancy at Airdrie there was a call for a return of the playing legend that was Owen Coyle as Manager, since then I think most Airdrie fans have decided that he wasnt that good as a manager, his statistics would suggest that he has been on a decline with every team he has managed, and also has a habit of bailing out when the going gets tough. The table on Wikipedia makes interesting reading - Falkirk fans would bite your hand off for a win percentage of 63% but look how it has consistantly fallen with each club, to a miserable 18% at Ross County. Even in India it has been average. I wonder if Sandy Stewart will be by his side again??
