  1. yeah exactly - one of the players on the Hope Street Podcasts addressed this - saying the young lads were dead on their feet and the choice of subs was questionable.
  2. FSS member here. Might be better to see who isn't a member on here and understand why - appreciate the obvious reason is probably cash - but just if there is any other reasons. When theres 5500 members on the COYB facebook group - we're talking around 10% have signed up -and that's only the Facebook group.. I'm down South so least I can do as I don't get to many games.
  3. honestly I cant stand this type of sh*t. I remember working in East Kilbride. These two guys came up from England. The wee snack bar across from the depot was just called "Garys Hot Snacks". But the way the sign written it could read "Hot Garys Snacks". These two p***ks spent about an hour taking about it and were going to go over and ask "if Gary was hot" -until they saw the size of Gary. You can bet yer bottom dollar the c*nts in that video spent ages telling their friends for weeks about that.
  4. Johnny Fucking Marr Mani was always sound as f*ck too... and Bonehead. (appreciate I'm just listing Manc musicians at this point)
  5. i djed with him once - he was an ars*hole. Sneered at me for playing vinyl when he had a laptop.
  6. Debut album by Gabriel's Dawn. If you like early Stone Roses, Teenage Fanclub, St Etienne, Byrds and jangly guitars - you might like these - this one has a bit of the Roses 'Going Down' about it:
  7. went to see Love Revisited in Birkenhead on Saturday. Obviously Johnny Echolls is the only member left in the band but utterly fantastic. He did a wee Q&A before it which was mesmerising to listen to his stories -many I'd read before but theres something magical hearing stuff live from the source. What a set list too for the gig..all of Forever Changes then some choice cuts from the other albums.
  8. ah i didnt know it had been on before. Two teams probably makes it more interesting
  9. I've got sucked into watching something on CH4 with two teams building a 'bridge' out of bamboo in vietnam to reach an Island about 1000 feet from the mainland. The team who gets there first wins £200K - but only one of the team(of 8 folk) will win the £200K Difficult really to describe it without sounding like its just a mad dream. Its utterly pointless but some of it is brutal. Spoiler alert if yer watching Last night, with about three quarters of the bridge done. The team members were offered £25K on the spot to leave the competition early. To put in context this had been literally days of cutting bamboo, tying it together with rope, and putting it together as bridge in the sea -from dusk til dawn. Sleeping in a basic camp, poor food etc. Not fun basically. Pros for leaving -well they get £25K and get away from the hell of it all cons -they leave a team they have been part of for the past week, built up friendships so ultimately leave tthem high and dry, and of course the person leaving wont be able to claim any of the £200K prize. One team stood firm and no one left. The other team, a few of them wanted to go so it came to a vote. The 'winner' was this Welsh lad who appears to have some financial issues so the guaranteed £25K would "change his life". As he walked out the camp he got to a box with the money. However there was a caveat that he would only get the money if he smashed up 6 pieces of their bridge. Funny as f*ck. The guys walking away and they are all waving, he gets given an axe and starts smashing up the bridge - it then cuts back to the camp who can see him in the distance "what's he doing....?" Total bullsh*t TV but I must admit I love reality programmes where the people in them getting royally f*cked over.
  10. exactly this for me...I know its multi club forum, and its good to get other teams fans perspective. .but its the signing the comment off with some pishy attempt at a dig that makes me laugh...
  11. yaaass love it when we get some fanny from a league above us bothering to (try and) give us grief....."always on your mind, we are always on your mind"
  12. if its Lolkirk then surely its got to be AirdRiech amarite boyz?
  13. Watched the Gazza documentary last night. No 'orange' tinted specs for me, anyone who beats up women should get exposed. The Media are vile right enough but no excuse. Few things I hadn't paid much attention to at the time. I wasnt aware how riled up the English media(and public to a certain degree) got him before the game against us in the Euros. Bast*rds...if we'd had a good game against the Swiss then maybe he wouldnt have scored 'that' goal. Secondly I also didnt realise he had that golden chance against the Germans. When you watch it, its almost like he could have got to it but just doesn't have the legs. If that had gone in we would never have heard the end of it. I did watch the game at the time but all I remember really is the penalties. Also watched 'The Wife, The Husband and the Canoe'. I'm 46 and there's a lot of TV/film dramatizations coming out these days about true events that happened during my 20s/30s that I only half remember mainly cos I wasn't sitting in front of the news like i do now. This is one. For some reason I thought he went missing abroad and had no idea of the farce of it all. Good watch though, Eddie Marsan is great as always and interesting to see Karl Pilkington pop up in an acting role.
  14. Sorry mentioned this before, I went to school with Martin, in fact I'd call him a close friend growing up through High School. When he got the job I was talking to another school friend, an FFC season ticket holder and both discussing how bizarre it was and also how we thought it might turn out. First of all I'll hold my hands up and say I was excited and hopeful about the appointment - something a bit different and my mate and I both agreed it was a good decision. The one thing I said to my mate at the time was "I hope he's a bit more ruthless in his attitude than he was in school, I cant imagine Martin ever giving a player a bollocking". At school I remember some lads trying to get MR to swear. Just to say one swear word.. But due to his upbringing he wouldn't. He was always a calm person. Determined, but I couldnt imagine him putting any fear into a player. I'm sure theres plenty of managers that dont do that, but we need someone like that now more than ever. My point is, and my little worry back then was I knew the squad he was inheriting needed a massive kick up the a*se. I hoped MR had the skillset to motivate the players in his own way because I just couldn't see the person I knew being that type. Granted it was a long time since school days and people can change. But I just felt if any worry I had that was it. It appears that unfortunately thats half the problem, the players just aren't performing and clearly dont give two f*cks about the club, the fans or what the manager will do/say at half/full time. Add to that his lack of experience in playing professionally. Maybe players don't respect him because of that? I dunno - i've been in jobs where managers have come in with no experience in the industry and you always get folk who look down on that - Im not saying that happens at FFC but I wouldn't be surprised. Sh*tshow anyway, see you in August....
  15. Found myself in an unnecessary rage this morning because some c*nt posting pictures of their FFC towel on a sun lounger on the COYB Facebook page. I know we've got f*ck else to be cheery about these days but every year we get folk posting pictures of towels in various holiday locations...do other clubs fans do this or is it just the ars*holes that support us? Who gies a f*ck. Its a blatant "look I'm on holiday" p*sh and it annoys me more than it should but serves me right for being on facebook I guess.
  16. probably not strictly work colleagues but I'll post here anyway... We've got the auditors in at the moment(not a euphemism) so that's taking up most of time... the annoying c*nts. However it does remind of an episode of my younger days. I was working in an office in Cumbernauld on a Machinery Plant Hire Desk. I was the only one in the Hire department - although as a company we covered the UK so a fairly big name in the business. At that point in my life I really couldn't give a F*ck about the job, was first in, first out..usually hungover. A bit of a nightmare as an employee. One day, this guy turns up to the depot unannounced(maybe I was told but I didn't remember) to audit the company files. I get word that there's an auditor in the building making his way round the departments and I must admit in my naivety I had no idea what was required of me. So i asked someone in the Service department what he was doing. and was told he was checking our files to make sure all the relevant documents were in there and everything signed for. Therein lied the problem - as I did such a half arsed job, all sorts of stuff was missing and I was sending out machinery on hire worth thousands of pounds without the customers signing contracts as I couldn't be bothered creating the contracts. I had delivery notes missing, alllsorts of complete and utter laziness. Looking back it was daft behaviour but then i was daft laddie. I did have a few files that were spot on, going back to when I first started the job when I was making an effort. So i dug those out, plus a few that were maybe 80% complete. My theory being I give the auditor these files, he gives me a big tick for the completed ones and I take a bit of flak for the ones that aren't fully signed which i'm ready to blame on someone else or blag. Sorted. The guy sits down at my desk and opens his laptop. He's got a random list of contracts that he wants to see - only maybe 4 or 5 - to make sure we're all ok. I go into panic - I didn't realise he would be asking for the contract numbers randomly - i thought he'd ask me to give him the contracts I wanted to give him and I'd oblige. As I fumble about my filing cabinet trying to buy time, the bloke decides he's going to go out for a cigarette. As he goes out the door I noticed the laptop he's using, and the excel file he's using to log the contracts is open. Didn't think twice, was on his laptop changing the contract numbers he wanted to see to the ones I knew that were spot on. Then any that were missing signatures I did a few false signatories...(sure I signed Burt Reynolds for one) all the time sh*tting myself looking at him coming through the workshop back into my office. Managed to pull it off, guy came back asked for the contract numbers I changed and all was good... funnily enough it didnt make me change either...still continued to be a lazy c*nt until I was made redundant...unsurprisingly
  17. Just as thrilling as the rest of your many posts on the subject. Im sure by now you must feel that you have exhausted your point and presumably, can f**k off? exactly....I'm sure he must've moaned like f*ck on the Dundee forum when he was signed for Dundee...but he still signed...and now he comes over to ours moaning when we sign LG.....some folk have too much time on their hands.
  18. ha jesus, this made me laugh out loud.... have a lie doon pal
  19. aye spot on. I was almost annoyed the storyline wasn't great as was hoping for so much more when it started and it just didnt happen.
  20. aye, step daughter pointed this put to me on Saturday night. In my defence I was drifting in and out of sleep when it was on but at same time, aye..fair cop...
