  1. Check out Brian McClair's swingin' Jimmy. Mahousive. however it was the era of Mr T and the A-Team. Kinda forgot how much sun must have bathed the pitch all day before the South stand was built, team photo really brings it home. I hope your old duck changed the wallpaper. I hope you swiftly went to Rita Rusk shortly after.
  2. Looks as if we have no chance in singing midget Gary Coleman to compliment Humphrey on the left wing as the BBC are reporting he's popped his cloggs.
  3. Post #1 updated accordingly
  4. Going over Motherwell you're at roughly 6,500ft, generally crossing LANAK intersection at 7,000ft and look to be over the Celtic Training ground at 2,000ft. As you are leaving/coming in from Edinburgh then it would depend if you see it on the way out or back. Way out about 5,500ft.
  5. Capitalisation lllll lll Spelling lllll ll Grammar lllll Hope you're heading to Art Skool School
  6. I was going to ask if you were going to add a right back .....
  7. Even though it was a very very long shot, however it was discussed on this thread, the BBC reports Scot Arfield has gone to Huddersfield for a club record. Looks like they did the right thing by turning down Hamilton and Hibs last year. Hope it works for us with Reynolds too.
  8. Valid assumption, Sellik are gash
  9. I should charge you a royalty
  10. I was against the blue kit at first as I didn't know the significance, however seeing the Sampdoria-esque one there, I think that could be one of best and most fondly remembered in years to come. I still love my pinstrip pony effort.
  11. Yeah I know, imagine getting their little TV logo in the top right also viewed by over 350,000 people outside the broadcast rights holders normal audience. Where would I find an 'eejit' smiley?
  12. Just another example where those in their lofty towers don't take advantage of a popular and broad medium to advertise the Scottish footballing product.
  13. As HM Government Department for Social Security is probably the biggest issuer of financial products in our local area, it could easily be them
  14. post #1 updated to reflect Page's new deal, cheers Finlay
  15. We still have a 2nd round hurdle to jump before we are in the glamour tie zone, in the same way we had a hurdle of seemingly easy ICT in the cup or Hibs at home to secure a 4th place finish, £75k extra prize money and guaranteed Europa qualification and everyone knows how that went. Unsure how Ayr Utd is going to prepare us fully for the challenge as I think its safe to say meeting another team that travels as poorly as Flamurtari will not happen again. If we do get through into the 3rd round then I think a Liverpool or German team would satisfy the ying and yang theory of being a Well supporter.
  16. Thoughts on adding Paul Gallagher to post #1 rumoured. Obviously there is no basis other than another SPL club is looking to bring him in. Yes or No? If nothing else we benefit that one of the people responsible in acquisitions (Leeann) has a presence on here, so may be in a position to mention some names that the fans bring up in passing.
  17. Guess so, why is there scaffolding round the East with a platform 10ft off the ground?
  18. The Ibrox and Hampden he's done in high detail are v v v v impressive.
  19. Just been working my way through the online tutorial of Google Sketchup and stumbled across this little gem (I did a search and didn't see any references on our website to this): 3D Fir Park Drawn by a Don (note the snide little comment in the description), however very impressive, he appears to have got the stadium by and large pretty accurate.
  20. Official Website Confirclicky Updated post #1 to reflect this.
  21. Based on the precedent set and us losing the bookies in the East stand, don't fancy our chances at getting either a coke or pepsi next season with this deal. Would razzle insist that any water damaged porno mags are removed from nearby woods too?
  22. For now ..... well at least to 2013 BBClicky For those who can't be arsed (as far as we are concerned the bit in italics may count in our favour): RBS reduces sporting sponsorship The impact of RBS' decision to cut its sponsorship of sport by half by next year should not be underestimated. In the last decade RBS has used sport to reach areas of the world it had never reached before, and project itself as much more a world bank than the parochial British bank it was perceived to be. The bank's investment in sport has been perhaps the most significant example of how the financial services have bankrolled sport in recent years. And it is easy to see how this business philosophy would have found Formula One so attractive. Bernie Ecclestone has been pushing the sport into new markets and seeking to build its reach beyond the traditional sporting enclaves. So sponsorship of the Williams team chimed nicely with RBS' ambition. But with the downturn changing everything, RBS and Williams have been in talks since October. Both sides are keen to make out what they have agreed is now an orderly withdrawal and Sir Frank Williams responded to the BBC in characteristically bullish mood, insisting the team will survive. But as Nigel Currie, director of Brand Rapport, put it to me, this is a major blow for Williams, and indeed Formula One and sport in general. Just like the financial industry, the years of expansion are now catching up with F1, and other sports too. RBS's other global ambassadors are already feeling the heat. It is believed the bank has lavished £200m on sponsorship, from Andy Murray, through to Sir Jackie Stewart, Zara Phillips, Jack Nicklaus and Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar, for example, was given a lucrative contract only a few months ago, with the recent India-England Test series played for the RBS Cup. RBS employs some 10,000 people in India. There will be cutbacks there and, like all sponsorship activity, the sporting investment in India will also now be reviewed. The reaction from those global ambassadors has been mixed. Murray, who has had RBS support since he was 13, recognises the bank is in trouble and that he has to take a pay cut. But Stewart expects the bank to honour its reputed £4m-a-year sponsorship deal. Expect hard talks in the week and months ahead. The one sponsorship RBS is keen to continue is Six Nations rugby, which it renewed last autumn until 2013 for £20m. For the bank, this fits in with its desire to now revert to concentrating on its core banking business in the UK and Ireland. Nevertheless, cost cutting at the bank is now the prime focus of its Strategic Review. This will see a 25% reduction in sponsorship and related costs in 2009 and around 50% by 2010. Non-contractual costs in F1 have already been reduced by over 50%. And it has cancelled trackside advertising for 2010. In all RBS sponsorships, hospitality costs in 2009 have been reduced by around 90%. The message could not be clearer. Sports like football may still be able to do lucrative deals with television companies, but in the current climate, the days of businesses throwing money at sport are at an end.
  23. I thought RBS had to reign in its sponsorship activities due to the state intervention, Formula 1, 6 nations, etc. If they did go for it it would be to promote the high street presence in Scotland.
  24. With all Hateley's nonsense in the papers recently "blah blah pitch ..... blah blah don't want to play right back" he's leaving.
