  1. Who cares if it gets us into Europe? Europe should be for consistent league performances anyway. The League Cup is one of 2 pieces of silverware we have a chance of winning. If it was that diddy, we'd be winning it more often.

    We don't have a big enough squad yet to be punting guys with first team experience.
  3. My old mind is playing tricks. I know my first game was in March 1970 (on my 5th birthday). I thought it was Dundee Utd we played, but looking at the fixture list it was Partick Thistle we beat (3 - 1). As much as I enjoyed being at the game, I was equally interested in the Kia-Ora and the Chipmunk Crisps.
  4. Beeb EDIT: Haggis beat me too it. The ex-pats always have the links to hand.
  5. It feels like good sex...... never mind, you won't have any idea about that either.
  6. It better be, or we'll be going home with nothing.

    I was thinking that myself. Based on our recent performances against St. Mirren, a 1 - 0 home win isn't exactly an outrage. I'm hoping we can find our goal scoring boots, but 1 - 0 for either team feels more likely.
  8. I'm Hamburg. And so's my wife.
  9. Considering that article is nearly 3 weeks old and there has be no mention of it anywhere outside of that fan site, I doubt there is much truth to it.
  10. I think this might be the key. Somebody sees JG at a Crewe game and assumes he is in line for the job.
  11. Cup win for me. I'd rather win a Cup and finish 6th, than finish 5th with no silverware.
  12. Ally Mauchlen, Shuggie Sproat (especially when he was out at the half-way line ), Wille McVie. And of course as a manager, Ally MacLeod was roundly jeered.
  13. A former 'Well player told me that McDicken was the only opponent he ever played against who would purposefully try to break you your leg.
  14. I didn't see Lennon that much, but any time I did he just seemed like your average niggly, moaning, elbow-throwing OF player. Talking of which, I somehow forgot to mention Bob Malcolm in my list. Hated him before he joined us. Hated him even more after he joined us.
  15. I don't know about hate, but a few players that used to annoy me because they always played well against us: Charlie Nicholas - had a habit of ripping our defence a new one Gordon Strachan - niggled, moaned at the ref, and often ran the midfield Pat Nevin - a 16 year old at Clyde shouldn't have been able to run round our defence like that Willie Miller - another moaner, but a master of the last ditch tackle Alan Rough - we often struggled to beat Thistle, and he seemed to be one of the main reasons Nacho Novo - tormented us every time we played Dundee Players I did hate: John 'Polaris' McDonald Frank McGarvey Billy Stark Derek McDicken Alan McLaren Davie McPherson Dave Smith (at Berwick Rangers - the main reason the back pass law was introduced )
  16. We don't even have the best fans in the East Stand
  17. That's citizenship, not nationality. Big difference. If Driver is so Scottish, why did he play for the England U-21s? No self-respecting Scotsman would choose to play for England.
  18. So if your job meant you had to work in England for the next 15 years you'd be cheering them on every World Cup?
  19. Nationality isn't a choice. It's an accident of birth.
  20. Born in Scotland or one parent born in Scotland. Another demonstration of how straightforward that rule would be to interpret. Driver - naw Humphrey - aye
  21. Aye, Spurs, Fulham, Coventry etc. When everybody took the competition seriously it was a cracking tourney. Then it turned into the farcical Anglo-Scottish Cup and it was game over.
  22. Before my time, but guys like Eddie Turnbull, Jim Baxter and Jinky Johnstone of course all played at FP. Not quite in the legendary status, but when I moved down to England in 1988, I used to be able to tell my mates how I watched guys like Steve Nichol play with Ayr Utd, Alan Hansen with Partick, Andy Gray with Dundee Utd, Stevie Clarke with St. Midden, Nevin with Clyde etc. before they made their big moves south. Can you imagine someone from Ayr Utd getting transferred to Liverpool these days?
