  1. I was being polite, but at least someone understood!
  2. I don't mind bright colours, I just don't like fluorescent bright colours (on a shirt) - for me, it just makes them feel a bit cheap and tacky. Reminds of the handwritten flourescent signs you see outside shops full of tat with "Everything on Sale" scribbled on them. Maybe it's because I lived through the outbreak of 80s Nevica that I'm quite happy to leave that in the past. Anyway, I get it's just a matter of personal taste and you can't please everybody. I do appreciate the thought behind it.
  3. I love the idea. I cannot stand fluorescent kits. So I'm conflicted on this one.
  4. What Catalonian man doesn't spend his youth daydreaming about the sultry temptresses of North Lanarkshire?
  5. Although the film version of Garfield was a total dog.
  6. I was hoping for a big Finn with a mullet.
  7. I thought maybe you'd accidentally installed the latest Qatari spell checker.
  8. Arbroath have had a dip in form this season, but the conditions in January are rarely easy to play. The wind makes every pass an adventure.
  9. In before grizzly's inevitable "we'll smoke them" effort.
  10. Anybody we haven't played 15+ times in the last 3 seasons would be nice.
  11. Mr. Burrows is tweeting that the Record has jumped the gun
  12. "Tell me your age without telling me your age" "I used to stand on the terracing watching Jimmy O'Rourke playing... in a yellow shirt"
  13. <nerd alert>George's mother is also called Marjorie and sometimes appeared on Shooting Stars in place of her wee boy.</nerd alert>
  14. Most managers talk about how they are inundated with agents pushing players multiple times per week. I doubt Hammell will be any different in that respect. The challenge with January windows is that the vast majority of teams are going to hang to the the vast majority of their best players; especially at our level. So once again you are left looking at players with "a point to prove" or who are "looking for game time" etc. Which can work out well, of course, but is always higher risk.
  15. I've seen us do it on many occasions. I'm still happier being a 'Well fan than a Buddy.
  16. Wasn't able to watch the game, but I'm going to assume we were robbed. Take your pick...
  17. This is why our academy is so important. Alan Campbell is the quality of player we can't afford to bring in. Even more so for a Turnbull. To lose both of them in a relatively short period of time was always going to be a huge hole to fill.
  18. There's only 7 points between 3rd and 10th. Not quite as tight as the Championship, but any team that strings together a few decent results is going to make a positive move up the table.
  19. It would be like watching a GA team, but without the flowing football.
  20. I remember I was gutted when we let him go. Letting him go to Accies was just rubbing salt into the wound.
  21. The great thing about Graham and Pettigrew is that when you watch some of their highlights today on Youtube, they are as good as you remember. Which can't be said about a lot of players. They did set my expectations way too high in my formative footballing years, though. I thought players like that were just how it always worked. Give them the ball and they score. Easy.
  22. Bobby Graham the latest inductee. I loved watching him as a kid - Graham/Pettigrew, what's not to love? Fantastic player, but it wasn't until I was much older I discovered what an impressive record he had at Liverpool despite a restricted number of appearance thanks to the St. John and Hunt partnership. As well has his time at Fir Park, one of my other memories was seeing him after he moved to Accies. I was in the supermarket in Hamilton (Fine Fare probably) and spotted him, cigar in hand, gold bracelet and 1970's issue shearling coat.
  23. We don't need additional height in our defence, we need a bit of pace.
