  1. Coll and Tiree are fantastic islands to visit. The beaches are superb on both islands. Our favourite was one quite near the RSPB site on Coll - can't remember the name it. We're hoping to go back to Tiree sometime in the future for a longer period.
  2. Well played Dundee, you thoroughly deserved to win over the 2 games. We meanwhile were an utter shambles and disgrace and got what we deserved over the season. 2 years ago I was looking forward to seeing Killie playing in Europe and now we are relegated - what a disgraceful turn around. Bowie and McLeish have a lot to answer for. It's complete mismanagement from them and I don't see us coming back up soon.
  3. Congratulations to St Johnstone, what a magnificent achievement. Savour every minute of this as this is probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest, achievements ever by a Scottish club.
  4. You are correct - It's usually the other way round. While playing for Ayr United, he made his only appearance for the Scottish National Team on 17 December 1975 in a 1–1 draw with Romania - He even managed to get booked. He was the first serving member of the Honest Men to play for Scotland since Bob Hepburn in 1932; none have done so since.
  5. Didn't recognise the Ayr United player - wasn't deliberate Would never have got him as I didn't realise he'd been in a Scotland squad at that time.
  6. Back row - Definitely Holton and Fat Bob is DJ Middle Row - definitely Ally Hunter and Hugh Allan Bottom row - 2nd in I think is Colin Stein Struggling with 2nd from the right - possibly Eddie Colquhoun, although I doubt it
  7. Sad news of his death. Gone far too young Did a great job for both us and yourselves. Played a big part in our promotion team 1990 alongside the Carpetfiter.
  8. I never liked Tommy Burns when he played for Celtic and ended up loving the guy. Killie have so much to thank him for - he was the catalyst for getting us back to the 1st division, then the Premier League. He did so much for us during his time at Rugby Park.
  9. That was a great night as was the victory over St Mirren in the previous round. The icing on the cake was Roy Aitken getting sent off.
  10. Great picture - I have never seen a picture of that end without the roof.
  11. Looks like either penny Hope or Douglas Hope We used to think they were bad but they are absolutely miles ahead of the clowns refereeing today. They knew how to 'man manage' players, or probably were actually allowed to do so rather than today's clones. I seem to remember some story about someone wanting to 'dance like Vic Kasule' but don't know anything other than that.
  12. Sad news. What a lovely man he was. I knew him through the football and swimming at Neilston baths - well he spent most of the time talking. Always enjoyed talking about football with him. RIP big man.
  13. Sounds great. Colombia is supposed to be beautiful. NZ was also brilliant and if I was ever to emigrate anywhere it would be NZ. Too old for that now
  14. I had wanted to go for years, so we made our minds up we were going to go and eventually booked it to celebrate both our 50th birthdays. It cost a small fortune (just short of a 5 figure sum in 2011) but was worth every penny. The silence on the snow/ice/land is, as they say, deafening. The excursions are strictly controlled as the travel company are only allowed a maximum of 100 people on land at any one time, including those working on the boat, so its done on a rota system with strict timelines allowed on land before departing; you also must remain within specific areas on land. I ventured outside once in error, wandering too close to a nesting Brown Skua, which started diving towards me. They are also extremely rigorous in terms of cleanliness of getting on and off the boat/land to preserve the ecology. We also swam (a bit of embellishment here) in Cuverville Island for a few seconds. I would love to go back sometime but if I did I would ensure the trip involved visits to The Falklands and South Georgia. After getting to Antarctica we decided we then wanted to visit all 7 continents, which we completed in 2017.
  15. Belgrade!!! Memorable for the wrong reasons, although we had a great time there.
  16. Train from Glasgow to London Flight from Heathrow to Madrid Flight from Madrid to Buenos Aires Flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia Boat (MV Fram) from Ushuaia to Antarctica The the same in reverse to get home. Most of the 7 visits were around the South Shetland Isles with 2 on Antarctica itself.
  17. I actually sat about 10 feet away from McMaster at a game between Greenock Juniors and Arthurlie not too long ago.
  18. Rougvie, "Polaris" MacDonald, Bell(??), Miller, Scanlon and Colin McAdam
  19. I've not seen your goal from last night. The Bergkamp goal is my favourite. Salah's recent goal against West Ham is also up there.
  20. That's actually my favourite ever goal. (Apart from any Killie goal )
  21. St Johnstone had 7 academy graduates in the squad for the final but no mention of this. That's a fantastic achievement and far more should have been said about this. Well done on winning the cup on Sunday. I listened to Collins last night and what a bore he is. He's dreadful to listen too
  22. Great player. Still remember him scoring in the 1974 World Cup against Zaire
  23. I think spitting like they do is disgusting, but have you ever watched baseball?
