  1. My Nike+ was way out last time round. It measured 4m as just over 4K. It might be time to upgrade to a Garmin or something similar.
  2. That's my neck of the woods DD. I ran back from Linlithgow to Polmont along the main road on Saturday but the timings etc were all out on my Nike+. Either that or I was shockingly slow. Has anyone that uses Nike+ recalibrated it and if so, what was the best method. I could easily do so in the gym but it's not the same as propelling your body forward. I'm thinking the only way to accurately do so is hit Granegmouth Stadium and claibrate using the track. Glasgow Half Marathon is my goal now that I have new running shoes. Looks to have been the answer to my injury but I knew that was the case anyway. These bad boys are the best
  3. You need to factor in the P&B Fives in the summer as well.
  4. Aye. Thorn, Soon and You Made Me Realise were pretty special. I didn't care much for Wonder 2 though Great gig overall, though Sueisfine was sorely missed. My ears are ringing to f**k.
  5. MBV a week tomorrow. Genuinely excited about this. Set list from their Australian gigs: I Only Said When You Sleep New You You Never Should Honey Power Cigarette in Your Bed Come in Alone Only Shallow Thorn Nothing Much to Lose To Here Knows When Slow Soon Feed Me With Your Kiss You Made Me Realise One track from mbv, nice to see Nothing Much To Lose on the setlist. Moist.
  6. I think it's up the High Street, seats across from where Topshop was. At the Church.
  7. He was asking for it to be closed so maybe one of the mods obliged. I'll need to find out about closing your own thread, could have been removed as you say.
  8. No idea who locked the FFC Pars thread. The guy who started the thread was last to post so he might have closed it.
  9. Barr, Arfield, Wallace, Millar, Farid - we all read or heard about interest when they were moving on. No heard a peep about Lyle Taylor. BPM exlcusives are always months old and unsubstantiable.
  10. Not sure. I've been out of action because I've not given myself enough time to recover from injury. I'd like to give myself enough space to get over a calf injury and some proper training for it.
  11. I have the chance of joining my works team for the Great North Run. Tempting but the furthest I can push myself right now is 30 mins (covering about 4km). Dilemma.
  12. they can appeal but it's through the courts of arbitration for sports. There is a way back for Bradford.
  13. If we ha d tried to sell Stewart how much do you think we would have reasonably got? £20K at most? Hilarious. I expect an appeal.
  14. Hughes and Pressley are similar in that they can talk a good game. Therefore, failings on the pitch can be contributed to 'outside' influences. as long as they can continue to talk about playing young guys and playing in the correct manner they will get time from certain aspects of the support. If they were bahaving like Lambie did then they would be universally hated and out of a job. It's a thoroughly modern approach to manangement and one in which cost cutting/imcompetent chairmen can hide behind. Foe what it's worth, I'd say Pressley is 50/50 with his signings. Farid, Taylor, Higginbotham and Millar were good players no? It did take a year for the last two to get going but we miss them badly. All our young guys are going to end up as honest grafters in the Scobbie and Andy Lawrie mould. That's probably got a lot to do with having to play full seasons as 17 year olds. They can't all be David Beckhams.
  15. That's why he's sad that his location status is: Soon to be Stirling. Not close enough. Cheers up man, it's a FK postcode
  16. American Psycho - 6/10 I suppose they did a decent job but the source material is far better. The stuff they couldn't have put in a mainstream Hollywood version makes the absurdly comic moments all the sharper. With them missing I felt some of the biting satire the movie was aiming for was lacking. Bale is tremendous as Patrick Batemen though.
  17. That's your card marked. Most of the big hitter there have tried and failed on Pie and Bovril. I reckon most frequenters of single club forums just can't handle differing points of view (i.e. fans of other clubs). It has it's uses in terms of what was said at forums etc but conversation is shut down pretty quickly.
  18. Will we be due any money to Partick Thistle, given he was with them before we "academised" him They spent time and money developing too. academise - the act of graduating a youth player to overstate their ability.
  19. Supple quit and signed up for some gaelic football back in Ireland. He's quit that also and gone back to football. I don't think it has anything to do with primadonnas. More to do with him being shit and not getting a game for Ipswich. Getting sent to Falkirk (4 games) and Oldham (5 games) is enough to tell you to pack it in. I think the Gary Gillespie thing would have worked had he packed in the game a year after playing for us.
  20. We will get the square root of f**k all. He was shit while with us, shit at Bradford and is still shit. Olejnik and Stewart's careers were similar but the reaction to them markedly different. Olejnik's been recently blasted in this thread over mistakes made in that 3-2 Motherwell defeat. Mark Stewart ballooned a tap in header way over the bar in the same game. In many games both players would make mistakes. However, Olejnik could also pull off some remarkable saves after a mistake. Stewart got by through busting a gut. Effort is no substitute for talent though.
  21. Olejnik was screwed over by his boss. Glad to see him flourish. Supple quit football after spending time with us.
  22. I managed another short, freezing run with no bother. Predictably I started to dream of a winter marathon. If anyone sees me contemplating anything over a 10K use the report function.
  23. I've managed 2 X 2 mile runs in the last 4 days. Doesn't sound like much but I've been injured since August. Encouraging stuff.
