Wasn't Dubs one of the weans that used to go on about Kris Akabusi all the time? The rest of that lot matured into fine young gentlemen with excellent prospects. Dubs got left behind to lie in his own pish.

I call my dad one of those, mainly because he grew up supporting them and I don't let him forget it. It's been particularly good fun slaughtering him about them the past few months. Even though he claims to not like football any more and reckons he is a rugby fan. It isn't sectarian in the slightest. It was an insult towards Rangers fans and nothing more than that.

It was sine die. He could probably come back if he grovelled a bit, but he won't. He is doing his thing on B&W Army along with PB and a few other folk that get banned all the time. I wonder what happened to Pompey? He must have been one of the first to get a life ban on here surely.

This thread is always a day brightener.

Did you forget? All the best!

Dick Dastardly was always dishing out medals to Muttley, so I'd say him.

No

Keep a toffee handy. That keeps them occupied for ages. And its funny watching them too.

Try and get those on repeat prescription. That could pay for a couple of decent foreign holidays every year. Every cloud..

The guy that gave me it reckoned it was nice stuff. I haven't cracked into it yet.

My son came out with a real corker this afternoon when I picked him up from school. Apparently he doesn't like the new writing paper at school...because "the graphite drags a little bit on the paper and it causes me to write marginally slower" f**k sake.

Got given a bottle of Bladnoch 20 year old malt. 51%. Haven't cracked it open yet, but probably will by the weekend.

Been a shitty day or two here. There has been a wee feral cat that appeared just over a year ago here and we were feeding her cos she was hanging around the garden. She desperately wanted to come in the house but we have 3 already and theyd just go berserk. So she lived in the greenhouse in the summer and in the summer house in the winter. She had kittens here and we had her sterilised and gave away the kitten to folk and she was quite happy. The kids loved her and I had a wee basket she slept in next to the stove in the workshop. Well the wee bugger got run over and killed on Sunday. Tears and snotters all round, especially the kids who are totally gutted.

More people are members of cricket clubs in Fife than watch all the football clubs in Fife combined. Cricket is a more popular sport than football in the kingdom.

It is THE sport. Talking of cricket. I have skillfully managed to turn the Dunfermline summer transfer thread into a chat about how great cricket is. I'm not sure what some of the wee lambs make of THAT!

Says a guy that watches a bunch of poofs prancing around the football pitch wearing colourful shoes and who fall over if someone looks at them "all funny". Interesting fact for you. More people are members of Greenock cricket club than turn up to watch Morton play football. Same with Ayr, Stenhousemuir, Alloa etc etc. It was Scots that helped spread the game of cricket around the British Empire. I think you'd leave a wet patch on the ground and a big brown streak in your underpants if you had to face even a moderately quick bowler.

Probably

Good man. You can now come off "the list".

No. Posting 8 times a day with alarming regularity does. Cricket appeals to people who enjoy thinking about sport. It's too highbrow for common types like you.

Its the only reason I bought the sports package. If I could dump the football crap from it I'd be more than happy. In fact I'd pay for a cricket only channel in a heartbeat.

Yep. St.Mirren probably lucked out on that one big style. The financial crash happened during the closing of that particular deal. I bet if big Yorkston and his evil casino banker sidekick had actually realised at the time that the Pars fans were actually quite content to be a first division club having the odd top half finish in that league then they wouldn't have wasted millions and millions of pounds chasing the dream of a couple of top six finishes in the SPL. Looks like the Pars board of directors ambitions totally outstripped that of their punters on here. Unless they are simply displaying that stiff upper lip thingy that relegated teams fans often do before GTF day. I suppose the Pars punters have at least had since the end of August 2011 to come to terms with the fact that their team was fucking abysmal and was going straight back down again.

It would almost have been worth them going millions and millions into debt if they had anything to show for it. I think they had one first division title to show for their efforts and maybe a couple of seasons in the top half of the SPL and the rest of the time "scraping survival before they were finally flushed away. That's two promotions (one in second place to a fucking skint St.Mirren) and two relegations for about 11million sheets worth of debt. Worth it.

No

What for? Decorating the treatment table? Kyles done, they should boil him up for glue.

How interesting. And yes it is. Ive seen the figures. In fact have a look at Harry Redknapps case for instance. How much did it cost to bring this to court? The case itself was said to run into millions to stage and the result in terms of money yield to the treasury was nil. Even for small cases the costs quite often outweigh any money gained if HMRC are successful.
