Getting home maybe a cúnt though. We've booked a taxi. We're going through for beers and hopefully a scran after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Cheers. I'm not convinced by the reliability and there's the getting home part as you say. Not fully decided yet but might just leave it for Tynecastle in a month which is a shame as there are some good pubs down that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weekend train strikes are a bit of a pain for fitba based bev sessions. We almost had to cancel the one we arranged with some Aberdeen supporting mates. We thought it was all fucked, but fate intervened - the Queen died, the strikes were called off and the out of town lads were back in the game ! Everyone is happy !! Not sure King Charlie is going to do the same in time for Saturday mind....................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Travelling arrangements fucked so it'll be firestick and a bag o' cans for me unfortunately, as expecting it to be a good game with a few goals. Hopefully the renaissance of Bazooka Joe continues and the forward line function as well as they did in Dingwall. A testing run of fixtures for us up til the World Cup break and would be content with a share of the spoils here. 2-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough game this, but confidence will be sky high after Tuesday night. Would be more than happy with a point here. 4 points and a +4 goal difference from Celtic (a), Ross County (a) & Hibs (a) would be a decent return. I'll go for an entertaining Desmond. Spittal & van Veen with our goals. I was at that game. There was some funny noise that came on the tannoys whenever you got a corner. Left at 3-0 mind. Can't remember the game that he left after sorry, but the game after was 100% a 3-0 win over St Johnstone at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I’m hoping this game is third time lucky for Moult and he finally gets a goal that’s not disallowed.Porteous vs KVV and Boyle vs Penney should be interesting match ups. 2-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Boyle seems like a decent guy but I will be fucking delighted when he eventually loses his pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Some detail here that might be useful for the Well fans travelling thru. It won't come as any surprise that there are roadworks....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually a great suggestion (and not just for now, but always, imo), my Sister in law and niece used it last week (meeting my wife up the St James Quarter) and apparently its great - free parking, regular trams to St Andrew Sq. Perfect for the Well lads wanting a couple of pub stops en route to Easter Raod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of that, but Ingliston park and ride is a great shout actually. Almost certainly be quicker to jump on the tram to St Andrew Sq (probably about 30 mins) than fight through town to get to Meadowbank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had identified Meadowbank as a possibility but may try the tram as a simpler option, I don’t mind a walk. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The completed route will make it closer to 10. I don't think the trams make a huge difference, other than Edinburgh might be slightly easier to navigate once they're done. Assuming there's not another giant road refurbishment program tacked on immediately the tram contract ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say you can never count out Edinburgh Council finding a way to f**k it up. The area around Leith Walk/London Road/Easter Road is an utter nightmare atm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
