  1. Can they? Not across the board. Definitely not life changing sums and in some cases offering less...
  2. Hard to argue with the last 3 posts...
  3. There you have it... Alarm bells ringing for me
  4. Really? Thank the lord 'oor James' arrived and saved the day then... Feel it would be a poor addition, I've seen milk turn quicker than him.
  5. Good to see the national team aren't for shoe-horning another right back into a left back slot. All the best too him. Still stunned Stephen McMillan was in a poll for greatest ever left back...
  6. Sounds as if somebody wishes he had slummed it with rest of the plebs and not paid the inflated charter charge set by the club... Stayed at the Hilton myself even the Israeli president and his entourage were staying there whilst visiting the Greeks in parliament at Syntagma. As has been mentioned, the city is paying the price of austerity. Was an attempt made to venture that little bit further into the downtown city centre rather than the confines of the clubs' chosen residence or an attempt at a Scottish bar? Taxis were as inexpensive as you find in most of mainland Europe... Plenty of fun to be had, choice of restaurants offering local produce, ethnic cuisine and bar prices that were often less, but, no more than back home. Just had to embrace it. Sitting amongst many friends and some family with the backdrop of the monuments of the Acropolis and Temple of Zeus illuminated in the night sky was the stuff of legend and a memory I'll likely never forget. Yes, the facilities in what was the centre of the sporting empire in 2004 left a lot to be desired, did anybody expect the authorities to react any differently? All part of the adventure I'm afraid. Only downside for me was the usual beauts clad in tartan. Seriously? 40 odd degree heat and done up like that - would have been better getting wrapped in bacofoil.
  7. To be fair, it was the nicest tasting beer the whole time I was in France. Had a ball right enough, if the same support had made it to Bucharest it would have made for an interesting trip... Not quite getting the dislike of Athens by some, plenty I know who were there put it up with their best trips - another memorable one for me.
  8. Family History quote 131: Alex McLeish was jockeying his mother when she was head of sports North Lanarkshire or its equivalent. No need for allegedly either
  9. Too much like Giffnock or White Hart Lane at a push in the sun Add me to the roll-call... decorator and yourself will be sat atop that just now!
  10. Subtle you say? What's subtle about a white coloured 18 panel ball getting lumped in the middle of the design?
  11. Taking out the obvious, some rare trips to be had. Not quite sharing a request for Swansea mind
  12. Sounds as if you pat your shants... He'd take you in as tatties and spit you out as chips springs to mind
  13. Well, he did at Christmas... Texting friends in Rotherham 'going back to Blades'
  14. Aye? Just curious as to how you come to that conclusion. A few dissenting voices on message boards is hardly representative of the Blades support no? Those I know would take McCall in a heartbeat as they look beyond the general perception of the SPL as being a pub league and judge him on his merits. The fella Robinson isn't carrying as much favour as you suggest, given he hasn't gained a promotion over three seasons whilst having a budget that dwarfs most around them never mind anything we have at our disposal. Bang on the money with your other points...
  15. I'm sure Hutchy was picked up from boys club football as most are prior to entering our youth system...
  16. I can't wait. Top research though...
  17. Given, signing his son on his first pro contract at the club and the Scottish coaching position (remarked by Strachan and McGhoo his being based in Scotland as a positive) I'd thought he would continue in his current role. Perhaps he sees it differently and wishes to bow out on a high?
  18. Fair points well made, but, the use of this type of smoke pellet is utilisesed in enclosed spaces everyday...
  19. Sensible approach from our club... shame nobody in authority will act accordingly.
  20. She's got a new jockey... But, you're right - wouldn't have happened had he remained on the staff at our club.
  21. I f*ckin' don't... Euro tie away leg during last two weeks in July is problematic for me. Now, your wish for an Azerbaijan trip? Only good in August if the Shettleston Harriers win the cup. Feel dirty, but, needs must.
  22. Eh? Who/What would you judge his replacement against? Could be spoiled, but too much to expect our mainstay to secure 4 to 5 wins?
  23. Not convinced. Can't see him generating the 12/15 points a season Darren Randolph has...
