  1. That's Gold-dust AKA Dustin Rhodes, Son of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. The youngsters (and probably many others) have no idea who he is either
  2. Losing the obsession with creating more shops, offices and car-parking would be where i'd start. Also sacking Willie Young from being their spokesman might be a good idea. Having all the parks in the world doesn't make up for the city centre's demise and their failure to accept the change in retail culture.
  3. Wow this is like the early days of AFC Chat (or any internet message board for that matter). Wonder how long before we see classics such as 'my <insert relative here> has software that can track yer IP Address so when he next comes round yer dead'
  4. Fucking hell only 150 miles from a full tank? I managed to drive a large Renault van from Glasgow to Birmingham and back for £60 worth of Diesel (just under 600miles) Take it yer driving one of these then?
  5. Serbian FA apparently blaming the Albanians That would be the team that is joint top of the group and taken 4 points from 6 against the joint favourites? Hindsight might say games between countries that essentially on the brink of war should be played behind closed doors.
  6. £80? How far and what are you driving? Even my old car (12 year old Honda) which I traded in last August could manage 400miles on a full tank (£55)
  7. Perhaps omeone worked out that the money saved not having to hire extra stewards and cops is more than the money taken in by an extra 1500 tic fans?
  8. Wales struggling against Cyprus. Really surprises me the amount of shite that has been in the press recently about a 'golden generation' Dutch currently 2-0 down to Iceland.
  9. Poland 2-0 Germany Pretty much thrown the group wide open. Strachan and co really need to make sure its a cricket score against Gibraltar
  10. Can we moan at the ones done by the scottish Parliament or are they untouchable? Anyway tax increases? That doesnt happen in the UK. Its all tax cuts, higher thresholds and benefits frezes apart from the Lib dems who seem to be trying to fight back (pointless as they are dead to most people till the 2020 election). We want things like the NHS, public transport, decent schools but dare to suggest we pay a bit more tax and its a lynch mob.
  11. Its not a questions of being too ambitious. The issue was they never put down enough facts to back everything up spending way too much time attacking the no campaign instead of just getting on with things and letting facts do the talking. Their job was to convince the majority to change from the status quo and they went about it as you stated in a presidential way - we will do this and that and everything will be fantastic falling into the cynical mind trap of 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is'. Possibly a similar reason why the Pars and Arabs told Romanov where to go.
  12. Personally I saw the yes campaign more like the Romanov regime at Hearts or Bonetti brothers at Dundee. Promised X Y & Z and everytime someone asked 'how can you afford this' they either deflected the issue and accused the press etc of bias or made claims of mythical investment with no firm evidence to back them up. Could have been totally wrong and it would all have been milk and honey but at the same time it could have been liquidation and economic suicide. The 'NO' campaign barely had to lift a finger because the YES campaign didn't give themselves enough time to get credible evidence to do the job of convincing the majority to make a change.

    Films

    Sin City 2 - Felt it started well then just faded. Walk among the tombstones - Didn't want to see it but was actually OK. Liam Neeson seems to be milking his 'hanibal' voice for as much as he can
  14. Young Katie pressing charges?
  15. You were away?
  16. Out The Flat The Flat Fife Flyers vs Braehead Clan in Kirkcaldy (Part of the offical sold out away support) 0-1 and another injured player
  17. Apologies if there is a 2014/15 thread but didn't see one in my travels Soooo Ryan Jack apparently out for a few weeks with a tear in his medial ligament. Hopefully be back in time for the Hamilton game on October 19th Anderson & Robertson hopefully also back for Hamilton Nial McGinn out for tomorrow's game and hopefully only tomorrow's game. Like to think we are getting these out of the way early but either i'm more aware of injuries now or modern footballers are getting more like racehorses
  18. They just went for a ' roundup' set for all the games http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/29354807
  19. Frankly I wish both Yes and No voters would just leave it and get back to work. Everyone had their reasons for their decisions, some may regret them now but without a freak result of an absolutely equal 50:50 split there was always going to be a losing side. Now on a more important topic May 2015 takes the spotlight. There appears to be an acceptance among certain people that it will be a conservative/ UKIP coalition in Westminster come June and that cannot be allowed to 'just happen' Of course the wonderful first past the post system means it is possible to win an election just on London and the South East alone but we all have to fight. 85% turnout in scotland must be repeated or even improved upon and if you have any friends/ contacts in england they must be encouraged to match us. I've always been against tactical voting but I fear it may be required by all to get rid of the Tories for at least another 5 years. As for UKIP I'd still like to think they are euro election protest vote fodder only but I dont want to take a chance. Protest votes achieve fuck all when it results in evil getting elected And finally for fuck sake don't pick a party just for their policy on Immigration. Look at what their plans for education, health, transport etc and you might suddenly think that bloke next door with the funny accent ain't so bad.
  20. Stretchered off. Radio coverage broke up but im sure i heard something about a head injury. Could be wrong though
  21. Walk in the park only concern is Ryan Jack
  22. Seems to be getting a bit unsavoury in George Square at the moment. Police been called to seperate the crowds when a loyalist movement showed up.
  23. Well bugger me with a fish-fork!
  24. Salmond resigning as First Minister and Leader of the SNP http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-29277527
  25. No mention of any redevelopment. Its a UEFA 5 star stadium so no work required as part of the bid
