  1. No German team, East, West or combined has won a competitive game in Scotland. Just throwing out a crumb of comfort for us...
  2. Well jealous! Had to leave the show early yesterday so missed it taking off for the last time here I think Robin Hood is its home base, would it not have been going there anyway?...
  3. Toepoke

    Wales

    Nice gesture but pretty futile. The vast majority of EPL TV money comes from abroad, the far east in particular. Not sure what circumstances would dictate a huge drop in those contributions?...
  4. So much for worrying about drawing the Dutch in a play off, we both might not make it!

    Wales

    Been a while since the Record ran that exclusive It's not showing any sign of drying up soon going by the last transfer window. The top clubs actually seem to be managing their budgets better...
  6. Neither there I'm afraid. Goes back to my previous post, saw the A10 doing an incredible display at Prestwick back in the 80s. Must have been absolutely terrifying being on the ground with one of of those beasts stalking you...
  7. Trident? Plenty of Unionists want rid of it too. I don't think Shoreham had any affect. Was actually surprised to see the Red Arrows fly over the town as much. I agree thinking back to the old Prestwick airshows in the 70s and 80s they seemed a bit more noisy and exciting but then there was a steady stream of American Cold War jets (I guess it was political then too) plus amazing aircraft like the Harrier and Concorde that don't fly anymore. Off down to the static display today for some close up photos
  8. Aye, ma coupon is absolutely skelpin' 120,000 were there it's reckoned! http://news.stv.tv/west-central/1328145-record-crowd-of-120000-attend-phenomenal-scottish-airshow/
  9. His wee squeaky voice certainly didn't go with his play on the park!
  10. The Eurofighter Typhoon was great, incredible to watch. Problem was it was first up so the aircraft after it were a bit tame. Quite emotional watching the Vulcan fly for the last time. Have to say the Red Arrows were excellent though. Hadn't seen them for years and they seem to have a lot more inventive manoeuvres now...
  11. If that happens we should pip Poland for 3rd if we can beat them at Hampden...
  12. Anybody else down in Ayr today? Absolutely glorious day for it, hard to believe after this summer. Good to forget about the fitba for a bit, until errr Monday...
  13. Need a point on Monday then 2 wins to have any chance of 2nd
  14. Nothing weird about going from hope to despair over 90 minutes watching Scotland...
  15. I think you can ignore the Welsh league. It's the fact they have mega rich English league clubs spending millions on youth development that is making the difference. I expect them to have a better team than us for quite a while...
  16. I don't think we can make that argument after losing in Georgia. NI and Wales have gone away to places like Hungary, Greece, Israel and Cyprus and won...
  17. Never thought I'd feel nostalgic for the days of Kenny Miller running about by himself. We badly need Snodgrass fit again...

    Disgrace

    We shouldn't have needed world class players yesterday though. Too many in that team were out of form or out of match practice.
  19. We're badly missing Snoddy's dynamism up front. Hopefully he'll return the player he was before injury...
  20. I suppose we could be thankful for Craig Levein otherwise he'd have even more caps....
  21. Not so, as long as we beat Poland and Ireland don't beat Germany we'll take third with a win in Faro...
  22. Agree Poland at Hampden is a must win for us now, that would probably be enough for 3rd.
  23. Poland take the head to head, although I can't see that being significant...
  24. What concerns me is the lack of quality coming through from the next generation. The poor standard of the Scottish league is starting to filter through to the national squad. Can't see us having a much better team in the next 5 to 10 years...
