    Celtic

    Surprised there's been no mention in the papers of the cup that got lobbed at Kris Commons either, to be honest. Usually the sort of thing we're hauled up for right away…again, amazing what a difference it makes when the players/fans involved just shrug it off as a bit of a joke.
  2. Cheers Flow… the odd niggle apart, I'm pretty sure most of us appreciate the array of online options we have for keeping up with club's activities these days.
  3. Ta. I'm actually using NetShade on both my Mac and my iPad for that sort of thing at the moment (offers UK, US and various other proxies, or VPN if you pay a bit extra), which is doing the job quite nicely too.
  4. Just received an email from Alison to say the 'Well Society MFC TV membership is only supposed to last 12 months. That doesn't explain why it's expired two months early, but if true, also makes a mockery of the only actual tangible benefit for us overseas members (especially those of us who didn't join at the lowest level).
  5. Yeah, those kind of apps work for some things, but tend to fall down if you want to watch geo-restricted content like iPlayer because they work by streaming the video in a different format from a server in (usually) some other country.
  6. I emailed them first. They did respond quickly, but told me my code was supposed to expire on 22nd February, even though I'd pointed out that it shouldn't have done as far as I was aware. Didn't seem much point arguing the toss with them after that until I knew exactly what I was supposed to have got.
  7. To be fair, one problem for the website guys is that most other video streaming technologies don't support DRM in a cross-platform fashion. Which, like it or not, a lot of content providers (and certainly all the UK TV channels) still want to foist upon us.
  8. Will never work on iPad I'm afraid, never has been and never will be a version of Flash for iPad/iPhone. (Android is going the same way, no Flash on new Android phones/tablets now either.)
  9. To be fair, not sure I'd be a fan of that anyway. Current players would have to be far too mindful about what they said about all sorts of things.
  10. Ah well. Have emailed Alison to see if she can sort it out her end, sounds like there are probably a few of us in the same boat.
  11. Pretty much every team from 2nd to 9th could say that, that's why it's so close this year. Can't have it both ways, sadly
  12. Anyone else's 'Well Society MFC TV subscription expire yesterday without warning, or just mine? Only got the code in April so hasn't even lasted 12 months
  13. Also, you can only have 10 folk max on a hangout, which may not be enough. Plus, I just hate video chat However, something like uStream, where we could watch the presentation and ask questions via the chat box, would be more than adequate. (Assuming internet became available...)
  14. Indeed. I also emailed Alison to ask if we could all at least be emailed or otherwise pointed at a copy of Leeann's presentation deck after the meeting (whether or not it would have made any sense without her talking over it), but I guess they never got around to that, either.
  15. I'm not sure it would, really, but it has to be someone and however nominal the extra responsibility might be, Keith doesn't particularly seem to be benefitting from it. Perhaps since we're pretty shaky in defence at the moment it might give Randy a bit more confidence/authority to help sort things out back there, but maybe he's doing as much as he can anyway. If nothing else it would put a few quid on his asking price, though
  16. I"d agree we're missing both those things at times, but they don't need to be the same person. I'm not generally a fan of goalkeepers as captains, but if I had to pick somebody in our team to be captain right now, Randy might not actually be too far off the top of the list. (Not that we're going to change mid-season, nor is he very likely to be around next season.)
  17. Couple of empty jam jars should still do it.
  18. Surely have to leave him on the bench. Partly because he's not match fit and the first 11 deserve to keep their places after Saturday anyway, but apart from that it'll keep the place buzzing for his eventual appearance even if the game isn't going our way.

    Fine Lasley

    MFC TV reckoned it never deserved a straight red. Though obviously that doesn't completely excuse a risky tackle (and they're kinda biased, of course).
  20. And the link to the MFC Google+ page is: https://plus.google.com/109625024074566781165 . (The previous page they were using is now obsolete.) EDIT: And I've just noticed they have a community page at https://plus.google.com/communities/115074768152256427008 .
  21. While I'm no position to dispute what you say about Dalziel, weeyin is quite right that Thatcher was nonetheless responsible for selling off thousands of school playing fields in the 80s, which certainly didn't help. http://www.historyandpolicy.org/papers/policy-paper-133.html#S3
  22. And, indeed, 16" and 20" canvas prints.
  23. That part's easy enough, sounds like the stumbling block is the dodgy WiFi signal. (Assuming they don't have any wired ethernet points in the Centenary Suite.)
  24. Simon Lappin released by Norwich City I see… might've been a useful guy to have back, if we had any money.
  25. Good shout… first one was a great wee passing move, second one just a great opportunistic hit. Yes from a defensive point of view there are doubtless things we could have done to prevent them, but sometimes you just have to take it on the chin. On a side note, we've conceded more good goals this season than I can remember for quite a while. Maybe that's just because we're conceding so many goals overall, but at least it makes the highlights a bit more entertaining.
