    Heading over there next month for a wee city break. As usual, any tambers got any gen worth sharing?

    Waterfront area is nice and the auld style buildings are quality (if you like that kind a thing)

    I grew up in Eaglescliffe right next to Yarm. Tartan Don's right about the England flags hard place to grow up being a Scotland fan

    However i dont know of any TA clubs really think you'll struggle to find one in Teesside to be honest 

    Aye can imagine that was hard going min !!

    The good lassie's family are still in Eaglescliffe,  as a said a nice part a Ingerlundshire. Nae far from the lakes and only 3 hours back home. 

    The only place a can think that might have any TA is maybe York but as you say it's definitely Ingerlundshire set around there

    Don’t follow UFC at all, always comes across as a bit desperate to me; admittedly I know fuck all about it other than it seems to attract bams. Can anyone tell me what the deal is with this McGregor chap; he seems extremely popular despute coming across as an absolute cock. 

    I'm nae expert on the UFC but definitely a fan of it and other mixed martial arts tournaments. I have been tae a few live events and aye you get plenty a wannabes but that's the same at any boxing event a have been to. Plenty a decent folk who respect the skill, talent and baws it takes tae compete in this sport.

    I have followed it for years now, but lost track for a while (pretty much when McGregor made his name) through no having sky/BT.

    With regards tae McGregor,  he is the biggest name in the sport because he sells him self the most. Managed to catch up on his career, name doubting he's a talented fighter but he realised early that as with all fighters you have a shelf life (If yer clever) and has set out tae make a fortune. Aye he's comes across as a total dick at times but that sells tickets and makes him money. Completely different in the far East when its aw about respect , but as its the Yanks, they love his antics and the whole "Irish" heritage thing the Americans have is easy pickings for McGregor.

    Quickly on the actual fight, Nurmagomedov is an animal and did exactly wit he said he would do.

    Nae excuses for the aftermath mind 

     

  5. Spent a lot a time in Yarm mate and never heard about any TA, most a the boozers are kitted out in Ingerlundshire flags at any excuse (and before anybody says anything, aye it's Ingerlundshire so wit'd you expect)

    Nice wee place mind

    Why is this never ever pulled up by anyone? Because our entire set-up is a shit show controlled by a blue half and a green half. Umpteen bloody decades of other teams having to go to Glasgow, when the Auld-Firm still keep their sides, dressing room, etc. But now, on one single occasion that cunt Rodgers feels the need to talk about an advantage to someone? 😠

    This. Anyone that can't see that has issues.

    Would defo recommend. Had more fun there than I ever did in Krakow or Warsaw. Boozers and brewery's everywhere. Cheap as chips too. Couldn't find SkySports anywhere, but such is life.

    Cheers mate 🍻

  9. Good topic 👍

    Got a very vague recollection of a away game against Spain in the early 80's...possibly on the tele??

    First Hampden game was 1990 defeat by East Germany 

    Special mention tae the Steve Bull Ingerlundshire game at Hampden canae mind wit year (beat us 2 nil) it's probably ma first experience a heartbreak 

    First away game was Amsterdam fir the second leg a the play off. A had met a few Dandies in Madrid and they recommended it...cheers lads 👍
