  1. almost as bad as calling up a couple of 16/17 year olds ...... ?
  2. was he sweeping up ? turns out as a kid I saw Denis Law playing for man city v dons in a friendly - I read many years later he was allowed to captain them as returning to his home town - not sure if he played at pittodrie at any other time - I know there was a few internationals there too back then - 73 ish I think
  3. was trying to build on your annoyance of americanisms ; the introduction of "assist" also does my head in
  4. I recall the 86 away top being a very pale yellow ; not the sunny look …. maybe it was just the tv picture though of that awful game in iceland
  5. agree thought the shaggin scenes were bit out of context too - just watched "living" starring bill nighy last night - seemingly a remake of a Japanese original decent I thought - but again ; rave reviews everywhere I do tend to get a bit too obsessed about historical detail/.accuracy etc on stuff though - like the livery of the trains etc -drives the wife mental ,,,,, and the fact they left waterloo crossed the thames to face county hall ; err no
  6. Theres a thread ; which you may have seen by now - tickets home end
  7. same for me ; best on tv since Mad Men in my book though its interesting how things have developed since the start of the 'movie budget ' tv series - there was some of that epic mini series stuff back in the 80s , north & south , and the ww2 one with Robert Mitchum but all seemed a bit hart to hart / love boat cheesy in comparison to late 90s onwards ....
  8. I booked jet 2 from stansted to larnaca ; first time with them rtn with ba larnaca to heathrow
  9. I got my passport style photo rejected twice ; i think it did give an explanation in english tho not a white background i recall ; just kept re submitting new versions
  10. just got mine too - i dont know how you can get as far as the 'basket' without putting in your KOA number and ID (passport no) - when I did that it actually confirmed my name ; then allowed me to buy ticket(s) - it soon disappeared from basket though and was only showing up under a 'ticket stub' looking icon , which allowed me to download to apple/iphone wallet tbh incredibly complex system to get a 10 euro ticket - 2 different websites ; 1 for koa/fan card , then the other (which I only found by chance today) for ticketing - and need new login / password details the cypriot fa website still shows ticketing details for Hampden match ,,,,,,,,
  11. ive read/heard 2 different versions of events from him ; actually think 2nd one was a quite recent podcast ... the first one - I think your alluding to ; he was in the u-21 squad away to Turkey (I believe same trip that full team won 8-0 away / and we beat Spain 3-1 - 85) he mentioned warming up , running to the corner flag / adjusting his shinguards to avoid going on in last few minutes - this was prob back in late 80s early 90s where he was trying to endear himself to the national support - bit like billy connolly saying he supported partick / type of thing the more modern version is more straightforward like , he wasn't asked to sub on
  12. similar vintage then mate ; think i was 78 finished Inchgarth been back to the old school (whats left of it) / community centre to use the Cafe
  13. maybe thats where he honed his 'transatlantic' accent kind of bizarre if he's based in Georgia ; he should of picked up a more southern drawl instead of saying 'ye ken' at the end of sentence , they use ' y'all'
  14. Ive only heard of Protaras tbh checked out a lot of those places on google maps last night ; think the meeting pub is v close to my digs i was an auchinyell gardens loon ; knew a few from morrison drive during inchgarth days - bit rougher back then - was revamped a bit late 80s early 90s i recall Seemingly DC dave cormack hails from there …?
  15. great info cheers ! this will be my first competitive match since 0-1 loss to Belarus at Hampden under Walter Smith - only 2 games been to since were friendlies , USA in Jacksonsville . then Mexico last competitive away would be san siro ; maybe am a jonah ..... after 4 days in Larnaca , have 4 in Ayia Napa
  16. spot the obvious mistake on last photo caption though ....
  17. was that v Uruguay ? he ran one side of the keeper, ball the other ..... think it was played so much , as first time anyone had tried it (on film ....) i also thought he was first with overhead/bicycle kick .... but appears in chile way earlier
  18. Ive only seen them once before ; at stampede in Calgary tbh not my taste in sounds ; but jim cuddy has a great voice
  19. First live concert in ages ; Skydiggers at Danforth music hall in Toronto Seemingly a xmas tradition here ; few guest appearances by singer from bare naked ladies and blue rodeo etc
  20. Firstly, Merry Christmas yes just read the whole article ; including all the comments
  21. You missed out Darien scheme and likely bankruptcy at least we could organize shipbuilding back then ……
