  1. My mate (honestly this time) bought a Wales subbuteo rugby team plus a spare goalie which gave him 16 men so he had 5 spares in case of the inevitable player getting knelt on. They were all red so he usually played as Aberdeen or Liverpool.
  2. Did anybody ever play Subbuteo on their own? i.e. playing both teams turn about? If so were you inherently biased towards one side and how did you try to instill a bit of fairness? Also shooting in at a goalie who was basically helpless. A friend of mine had to grapple with these major issues.
  3. So you missed a 5-0 win in the Challenge Cup in 2003. We won a league cup game 3-0 at ours in 2007 and whitewashed them in the league that season for a final tally of P6, W6, F23, A2.
  4. Wow. That's some article. Many WW people can be seen including yours truly, Tommy and Sir Peter Here's a reverse photo of the author who flew up from Eastbourne for the day:
  5. I taught maths for 31 years. Surds is just the icing on the cake for people wanting an 'A' pass (if such a thing still exists). Higher is all about factorising. If you can't factorise, forget it.
  6. Aye but you had the decency not to crop/clone the name off, unlike that shitebag from Clydebank That madasafish address is defunct now.
  7. OK quite an easy one in Scotland. Where is Rab this famous P&B poster going?
  8. 10 October 1992. Peterheid 1 Caley 0. Wow, 25 years ago next week.
  9. Aye but I was there Alan, had to do the filming too, didnae report it as it wasnae random enough
  10. Bucharest is like any modern city but very cheap. Was there in 2015 with ICT. Berestroika was a great brewpub if you're into that sort of thing but about half a mile walk from the main Lipscani area. 4 of their own brews which were all excellent and got shown round the brewery by the very milfy hostess and her daughter while the husband toiled behind the bar . The bakeries are something to behold too. Didn't get up north due to lack of time but south towards Giurgiu was like going back in time.
  11. Not particularly exotic, but off with the Whitehill boys to Station Park, Nairn tomorrow. Scottish Cup 1st Round.
  12. Well done stout fellow. Home of KR. Been there or did you have to work hard to get it? Here's the view from the other side: Coincidentally this game was played on the day ICT became the first side to take points off Celtic last season, leading some of us to believe that Richie Foran was management material. So the KR fans in the social club before the 3pm start were watching the live FH Reykjavik game on the TV and I was keeping up with ICT on my phone. They were probably a bit nonplussed at some Scots guy going 'fuckin yeeeesssss'! when Alex Fisher's last-minute equaliser went in.
  13. Anything rather than watch Dundee v Celtic.... here's another top tier ground
