  1. Will be to do with a local planning policy to discourage people from using their cars or to 'carpool' (1500 spaces could equal 7500fans in an ideal world). Council have pulled this trick with RGUs new Garthdee campus - Something like a max of 30parking spaces for each new uni building and then introducing residents only parking in the surrounding streets with small sections of 'voucher parking limited to a max of 6hrs a day' for the students or anyone else for that matter. All the councils are doing this now (we have a client who built 2 new office blocks in Newbridge outside edinburgh, and were limited to max 60spaces. They have plans to build 3 more on the same site and are now being restricted to 10 spaces for each block. Nearest Railway stations are both 5miles away and there are very few buses in that the site is 20seconds from the M9. Apparenlty the Reebok stadium only has 2000 parking spaces (28723 capacity). However it does have the advantage of having a railway stadium 400 yards away
  2. After he asked me the score for the 4th time I ask if he was alright He then proceeded to tell me the story of his day and how his son was the fan, he was more interested in the gambling side. I asked where he was from and he suddenly reaches back, grabs my hand very tight, says 'FOXES MAN' then proceeded to kiss my hand several times. ??? He disappeared at halftime but then came back just after the second half started looking for his son's carrier bag, Called him a 'lucky boy' several times then vanished again. His son then reappeared a few mins later and watched a fair bit of the 2nd half leaning on the advertising board. Good luck to anyone on his train back to stonehaven
  3. I need to see the replay. I had a large drunk leicester city fan in front of me who kept asking me what the score was so I didnt get a clear view. Another reason is I saw who was about to take the shot and decided to look at my phone in anticipation of a St Mirren throw in.
  4. It is if the deflection takes the ball in the complete opposite direction to the original shot.
  5. Brian Prunty was second division player of last season and second top scorer Dennis Wyness banged them in for caley in the 1st division but couldnt get a game for Hearts in the premier People say there isnt much of a gap between the SFL and SPL but Id say quality of defenders is a big difference (and considering the shite defenders we have in this league I think that says alot about the quality of strikers below it)
  6. Well justified too From my slightly restricted view mackies volley was going in the bottom right corner. Mairs deflection put it in the left.
  7. As far as im aware it cannot be used for European games and SPL clubs cant use it for the Scottish cup (need to check that last one). So basically you would only have it open for out 1 home league cup game a season. Hillsboroough wasnt just down to the cops. The season before the same thing nearly happened in the spurs vs wolves match but no one took any notice of the bad design or organisation in the leppings lane end. The perimeter fences and the locked gates (breach of fire regulations no1) was the main killer
  8. Seen the current form table? Team P W D L F A Pts Celtic 6 6 0 0 14 4 18 Hamilton 6 4 1 1 11 3 13 Rangers 6 4 1 1 9 4 13 St Johnstone 6 2 3 1 8 6 9 Falkirk 6 2 2 2 4 4 8 Dundee Utd 6 2 2 2 5 6 8 Hearts 6 2 2 2 4 6 8 St Mirren 6 1 4 1 6 6 7 Kilmarnock 6 2 0 4 5 8 6 Motherwell 6 1 1 4 11 16 4 Aberdeen 6 1 1 4 6 12 4 Hibernian 6 0 1 5 10 17 1 Hibs have only won 2 games since the end of January and Motherwell have been faltering of late, yet both teams could be representing us in the Europa League come a week on Saturday. Hibs have actually only taken 9 points from a possible 45 since end of January. Seems the trick to getting european football in the SPL is to get all yer points by mid january and then just go to sleep
  9. im going. But I decided to go for the adrenaline rush of turning up on the day to see if I can scalp a ticket from someone rather than buying one from the club
  10. You do understand the concept of ground and 1st floor plans? Supporters bar to be accessed from the seating area with additonal entrances from the carpark Groundsman facilities based on the ground level allowing them easier access to the pitch. Of course if you are atempting humour I shall edit my comment to an equivalent one about medical proceedures
  11. Hmmm meldrum leaving Now if only we had an ex scotland international to train our keepers........... what is Henry smith doing these days
  12. Watched rooney when they played partick a few weeks ago. he was giving the Partick defence a torrid time but the way both defences were playing I think Leigh Hinds and lauren D'Jaffo would have looked like world beaters.
  13. So now its impossible to be relegated will we see a return to 7000 crowds for the other 2 home games? Ive only got 1 game left this season and its on the last day
  14. Took it upon themselves to talk about the 1988 celtic cup winning team.
  15. yesterday's semi final programme described him as 'A Classy Versatile defender'
  16. If the stories about Dunfermlines pitch were true then the Astroturf salesman saw them coming. Sounded as if it was a step down from the standard 'powerleague' or 'goals' pitch and should therefore not be used as an example. May as well use QPRs 1980s effort. Hamilton Accies seemed to have a decent one and if i was their directors I would be well pissed off if the SPL suddenly did a U-turn after forcing them to dig up their perfectly good pitch (losing vital revenue in the process) and forking out for something along the lines of their Lanarkshire rivals. Just another example of the muppets who run out game. NO NO NO LA LA NOT LISTENING....oh wait
  17. I stand by my review. What may be a factor is I didnt care what the result was but if you can provide evidence of non-stop end to end attacks in matches against the likes of Hamilton, Kilmarnock, Falkirk etc then Im all ears A 4-4 game in which from the radio coverage we appeared dead and buried at 4-2 until celtic gave us a penalty and then they panicked is not the same as 2 teams (1 of which had nothing to play for) just pounding each others defences the entire game. Esson only had to make 1 real save but only due to last ditch clearances, tackles, bad luck by the partick strikers. Partick keeper was on fire which was fortunate because his defenders werent. And despite holding on at 1-0 I dont recall a single time that Caley time wasted. If the ball went out or went dead it was back in play within a matter of seconds. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY there were no little fucking pussies diving or rolling about on the deck feigning injury after a slightly late challenge. My DIRECT experience of SPL football this season (IE matches ive paid an average of £21! to see) have been long punts up the field, with long spells of the ball trapped in the middle of the park with neither team taking control, players taking an aternity at set pieces ( a large chunk caused by someone crying on the deck because he stubbed his toe), and fuck all goal scoring chances. But of course next sunday it will all be different at Rugby park
  18. went to firhill today and suffice to say i didnt know what was happening First half was 90% caley all out attac with Rooney and Foran ripping Partick a new one. Particks keeper made 4 extremely good saves but had no chance with the goal. Was 1-0 going on 5 at halftime Then in the second half Partick stormed back and it was end to end stuff. Last ditch defending by both teams but Caley managed to hold on. £16 to watch a game full of the sort of attacking football that I havent seen in the SPL for years. Anyway Rooney looked good but particks defenders were a shambles. I dont think he will be as effective against even shite SPL defenders like our. If hes free then yes please but only if hes free
  19. Whose got Dennis Hopper then? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8586552.stm
  20. Celtic vs Ross County Saturday 10th April 1215 kick off :hammer: FUCK SAKE SKY TV at least give the residents of Ross-shire a chance!
