Being there

1087

I’m sure many of you will remember the home game against Dundee in April 2001. We needed a win to be able to secure the title the following week, at home, against St Mirren. After the game Martin O’Neill sounded irritated at the anxiety in the crowd, oblivious to the fact that the loss of a late goal would have denied many of us the opportunity to be there when the title was won.

If you’ve been there for the highs (Aberdeen) and lows (Kilmarnock) of the league season you’ve earned a ticket to the party. Let’s hope the SPL deliver a home game next, as reported.

Apologies for the extended downtime yesterday. Plans are afoot for five new servers to load-balance CQN (which sounds a lot right now but we’ve had similar thoughts before).

Let the record show that the death of Margaret Thatcher brought CQN down longer than when Rangers did the decent thing. Was hearing the news a ‘JFK moment’? I was in the wee room at the time, a treat for all the senses, so I’m not sure how my memory will handle the situation…. mostly audio.

    There might be three times as many Pandas in Scotland as there are Tory MPs in the near future.

    where I was the Huns were damned by their silence on the hot topic of the day. And they’re not normally known for their reserved nature.

    “There might be three times as many Pandas in Scotland as there are Tory MPs in the near future.”

     

     

    Aye, but they won’t have the colourful sex lives that the Tories manage.

    Maybe it’s growing up in Bridgeton that meant I never got to meet a better class of Hun.

     

    Your a very lucky man.

  8. Henrik is imho correct in thinking something is going on in the snake pit . Green is becoming a distraction . And be what he is but traynor is no mug . Who thinks he would leave the editors job with the record and a cosy radio programme , if he wasnt promised better , he has been involved , in the know in all of what has gone on . Im kinda wary all is not as it seems up govan way . Hope im way off the mark .

    Nothing will be as it seems. But there is a lot of unravelling for the new incoming hero to do. And he will need a lot of cash.

  10. Uncle Charles has been blustering for months,why are they now scratching

     

    below the surface ?

    ‘Scotland Tonight story

    Interesting back story on why the Pandas are here though. All to do with the SNP not being too fussed by China’s human rights record.

    jimtim – don’t you be getting stressed there! You’re retired now and meant to be chilling big style! :-)

    Just realised when I was a kid in the late 60’s I watched a programme called Hector’s House.

     

     

    Great name for poundland..

    That Scotland tonight was agood laugh, who is the Chris guy and does he have more than one brain cell. We should be talking about youth development and not this etc………

  19. CultsBhoy loves being 1st forever & ever on

    other than rabid low intellect Huns…very few can still be swallowing Charles Green after that interview, surely?

     

     

    Young guy conducting interview did well – had done his homework. I sense a Scottish media reaction to being exposed last time…they are being quite determined to expose all this time round…like real journalists..

  20. Chris Bawjaws Graham has backed the wrong horse again.

     

     

    Whyte then Green.

     

     

    Who next ? Where are you Mr Gold ?

     

     

    The big hoose is crumbling.

    China banned imports of Norwegian fish after the Nobel Prize Committee deciding to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident and artist Liu Xiaobo.

     

     

    Scotland signed a deal to supply the fish in place of Norway.

     

     

    The pandas were part of the deal.

     

     

    You knew that though, didn’t you?

  22. Worrying time for the huns then chris, in a word……yes.

     

     

    FFS, why can’t they tell the truth.

     

     

    I suppose more money to scam may well be a starter………..

  23. celticrollercoaster on

    I dont trust the MSM. They have now turned full circle! Somebody is manipulating these puppets and indeed using or paying the Green & Whyte muppets.

     

     

    Stinks of Murray and the establishment team colluding behind the scenes, I wonder who is about to re-enter the fray?

     

     

    Cynical tonight, as surely they cannot be self-imploding again.

     

     

    Going out to stock up on jelly & ice cream again just in case though :-)

  24. Just a point on the Laws of the Game (not the refereeing) regarding Malaga’s winning goal. If the scorer was level with the goalkeeper when the ball was played to him (direction irrelevant) then he was not offside. The goalkeeper is 6 feet+ with his arms over his head so there is 7 feet lurching back toward his own goal line where the other defender is. Was he level with the keeper’s arms?

  25. Chuckles on the cringe mode…lips drying up… a tell tail sign of a liar.

     

    Yip the msm are gunning for him.

     

    Why though?

     

    It could kill them off for good, unless there is a backup plan.

     

    I just don’t trust the rats, they have got off the hook with everything so far.

     

    As said before they’re up to something.
