    Thankful_Villages only 51 villages in the whole UK who didn't lose anyone. when you think of how many wee places there are we must be talking 99.9% as for the ussr. 14 million political prisoners through the gulag, 7 million stragetically straved to death, the molotov-von ribbentorp pact and the 1939 partition of poland are amongst many other things s reasons why no one with half a brain would hold up the russian revolution as a good example of anything.
  3. this is his fourth preseason with the first team and if he can't get his fitness up to a decent level for an spl player then you have wonder if he ever can. the difference between looking good or not was playing in gannon's 5 man midfield where his lack of pace and stamina was hidden and playing in a 4 where he was exposed.
  4. is 70 too old to be touchline scrapping with mixu paatelianen?

    i don't even know where to start.
  6. me and my brother are staying in a 15 quid a night hostel we're there for four nights so anything better would have bankrupted me.
  7. is this not a myth? there's nothing in the accounts that shows boyle lending us money while porter was here and the wage figure paid out by the club went up significantly. i also think that clubs in england have been punished for paying players through outside sources as it's against the rules down there and probably is up here. to say we don't have money isn't true. the wages of o'brien, ruddy, jutkiewicz and coke and maybe reynolds are there from last seasons budget.
  8. unfortunately the way i look at it. 1. a guy who has been playing what equates to regional non league football in spain. 2. a 21 year old who had never played for his club and was only part of their b team but for some reason they seem to think he's going to command a transfer fee at some point down the line. 3. if the young guys are being signed to flesh out the u19s then that's fine but we have quinn, haslam, meechan, innes, pollock, mckinnon, smith, mchugh and page who are too old for the u19s and need to try and make an impression on the first team at some point over the next two seasons. i don't think we need many more young players.
  9. what we're being linked with certainly seems to be the bottom of the barrel. part time spaniards with dubious cv's, freed cypriots with mysterious sell on clauses and airdrie players. i thought the plan would have been to go for 2 or 3 quality signings with our own youngsters adding the depth. right now i'm starting to think we might be downsizing again.
  10. you need plenty of centre midfielders if you sign mccormack because he's guaranteed to be suspended 2 or 3 times in a season. cracking player who gave us 100% in his time here and a couple of cracking goals but i don't think we need him just now though a 3 man midfield of him, jennings and lasley would be a scary sight for the opposition. since money seems to be tight funds should be going towards a keeper, winger and striker. a few quality players makes a big, big difference in this league.
  11. we're seeded in the third round so we if we beat the icelanders we can't meet liverpool.
  12. my googling turned up two carlos g's. i think that facebook is for a distance runner and the one in this thread played for rayo vallecano b at one point.
  13. it's only about 3 or 4 mile from the ground to the centre of reykjavik.
  14. leann i asked this in the other thread but i'll ask again here. when should independent travellers notify the club they're heading over? cheers
  15. it wasn't exactly a glamour match when we played them in 2007. belter of a day out though.
  16. ideal! i take it you'll keep us posted but when should people travelling independently inform the club they're going?
  17. was he previously at celtic? cheers for the info, if you can tell us where we can get cheap beer as well then you'll be a hero
  18. i saw humphrey cuttting about in a pair of mfc trackies this afternoon. does anyone know if we're back in training or was it washing day?
  19. there's 15 possible ties that would be a "team A or team B" and 25 possibles that would be a definite team. i'm hoping we get one of the 25 so there's as much time as possible to sort it out.
  20. let's hope fazak at least makes the game
  21. there's at least 3 and a half weeks between the draw and the first match.
  22. decorator's living room
  23. when we drew nancy i had the flights for every team in our pot with the home and away dates all in different windows on the pc so when the draw was made i had the flight booked immiediately and for 30 quid return. so it clearly is useful.
  24. he's an absolute arsehole of a boy and someone we should stay clear off.
  25. the east stand will still be there in 1000 years time, it's the 11th wonder of the world.
