Is Samaras working for us? Much as I like the early signs from Cummins mind.

Doing it in Greece would be a killer. Ouch!

Hence the 9.45pm local time kick off, they doing us a favour, or just covering themselves in case any of us peely wally Jocks keel over and die in the sun?

Could be. I am 48 you know

It's a bit of a bugger but no-one will be more disappointed than the man in the shop I'll bet, he'll likely lose a good few sales out of it but he explained the logistics of the ordering process when I was in one time and I can fully sympathise with his position. You want to predict how a new kit might be received 6 months or more in advance? Before Champions League or even European qualification is guaranteed into the bargain? These things are all done and dusted way in advance.

They had proper stock levels but more folk wanted to buy it than normal cos it's a fucking belter so it's not available until next month now. Not that big a deal really. Should be glad we've got such a good kit and bide your time

Some pedantic alterations there for you

That's rubbige that, disnae even mention who makes the best Premium Latte. They have a Costas over there?

This is my summer holidays, thank fuck I held off just in case we got the opportunity to combine the two. Leave Fri 3/8 Manchester to Athens, staying in Mati which is something like 25 Km from Athens but on the East Coast, not far from the airport either so ideal for me to avoid too much travelling in the heat. We return the following Friday. £500 per person, not to bad

Am sure he scored twice in quick succession against the Dundee teams, would be around the time of that Utd goal, Dundee midweek game maybe?

BY the time you get through customs there's a very good chance you'll beat that

Family holiday for a week being looked at later, any suggestions for easy travel on match day welcome but imagine most of the islands would involve a quick plane hop into Athens for time

Aye well, I'll give you that

Think he'll go full circle and dye that middle bit red, just for the occasion?

Faddy gets my vote more to do with how he conducted himself when here. Had the pleasure to meet him a few times and each time following our first meeting he remembered my kids names and made time to greet them warmly, makes a difference that kind of thing and he still did the same when he was back with Everton. Top kiddah IMO, and a fine player into the bargain. Cannae dae The Slosh to save himself mind you but he's not alone there

Great idea Flow and one I was about to hit the paypal button for, but seeing as my boys club Villa Park are getting turfed out of Braidhurst to acoomodate the Academy when we've been training there for years before the shitey old astro was upgraded I think I'll not bother supporting it. Apologies for hijacking the thread and all the best with this.

No I want Athens cos I can only fit in the game or a family holiday otherwise. Not sure of logistics in Greece mind you but am hoping I could combine the two and travel into Athens from a resort on the day of the game. Turkey would be a bit of a trek I believe cos any resorts are a good bit away from Istanbul. Any help welcome btw if anyone knows the logistics of such an attempt.

11am

There are many directions fingers could be pointed but towards genuine fans sick of hanging onto the Old Firm coat-tails? Nah, Rangers first, suits who signed stupid contracts, weak minded club chairman who allowed us to get into the position of erlying on TV and Old Firm cash in the first place....oh aye, whole long list before you get down ordinary fans looking for the right thing to be done for the good of the game.

Almost upon us again, new issue due St J game 11th Aug, deadline will be 31st July to give the full Wednesday (1st Aug) to pull it all together. Anyone wishing to contribute feel free to contact me, all opinions welcome (even Steelboy) CheersMj

11th, same as always, anything above that is a bonus.

Hence the calls for a return to splitting gate receipts.

Knew it would be popular

A word has been had but I don't think our reputation is seriously at risk tbh, I mean to say. Anyone who believes that's linked with us needs their heids looked at.

I reckon I could do better in a comatose state to be honest.
