Jonesy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Maybe it's also connected to the game that never happened last season for us to 'officially' re-name the O'Donnell Stand? United were one of the teams mentioned at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlukemurray Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 United have booked rooms at the Strathclyde Hilton that weekend. Will be interesting to see if this happens or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaag Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 maybe they're just going to M&D's for a team building weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlukemurray Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Following on from my last post and from my mate who works at the Strathclyde Hilton, it IS to do with Matt Busby in some way. Not sure what right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 This is for Crag's testimonial its nothing to do with Sir Matt. So we're having a testimony for someone on a date that he is likely going to be away for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange county dosser Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 So we're having a testimony for someone on a date that he is likely going to be away for? sounds about right for Motherwell's forward planning and common sense dept !!

Dee Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 my mate is a chef at the hilton, so fairly accurate So because he is a chef he knows which guests have booked in to stay in the hotel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 So because he is a chef he knows which guests have booked in to stay in the hotel? Could the receptionist find out what was on the menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Could the receptionist find out what was on the menu? Yes but I dont believe the menu is a personal matter. The chef will not be allowed to access guest's personal data on a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So staff won't chat with each other - unless they work in the same department, say during lunch breaks or cigarette breaks? Anyway, if the guys mate was a chef a few years ago then well played, lovely meal when I last stayed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Completely irrelevant, but I work in a hotel, and the chef's are all sacks, so I don't tell them fuck all. We were stickin new flags up outside, and this boy thinks he's a diehard h*n likes. One Scottish, one British & one European, and he picks up the British flag and goes "aww I like this one!" and I said "Nah prefer the one in the middle to be honest" (the Scottish one) and he hits me with "Aww what are you again, a Dunfermline fan?!"

KirkySuperSub Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Seriously, IF this game was to happen bearing in mind International weekend, which, if any, of the BIG names would likely make an appearance?? I could only really imagine the retired chaps like Giggs, Scholes, Neville and the like, perhaps anyone nearing back to fitness for a wee run out (Hargreaves?) etc...trafficlight...your thoughts please.... I've got two young, Man Utd daft nephews, 16 and 10, who are desperate for me to get info...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trafficlight Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 You've probably hit the nail on the head, Kirky. If it turns out to be a goer, an international schedule would take many of the big names out of the equation, but yes, Scholes, Giggs would probably make an appearance. A mix of the old timers and the young kids as everyone else will be away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 If Scholes, Giggs, Neville and Hargreaves play, I would say that makes it one of the highest-profile matches to have ever been played at Fir Park, regardless or Rooney, etc. There's also every chance Wes Brown and Michael Owen won't make the England squad. Having just had a look at the International fixtures, South American countries aren't playing which means Anderson, Rafael, Valencia and the other Brazilian (whose name escapes me) would be available, Serbia aren't playing so Vidic and Tosic could play. So, to summarise.... 1. Zieler 2. Neville 3. Brown 4. Rafael 5. Vidic 6. Hargreaves 7. Anderson 8. Scholes 9. Owen 10. Valencia 11. Giggs Not many better line-ups than that been at Fir Park recently!
