Late to this so I apologise for the irrelevance, but, Back in 96 or 97 I had to spend 2 weeks at a training course in a hotel in Burnley, in the wholly inappropriately named Comfort Friendly Inn (It was neither, the food, although paid for by the company was terrible). We did try a couple of nights out in the town, but it was like an episode of Ripping Yarns, set in't t'north. Only saving grace was, we found out the second week the bar staff weren't too good at checking things, so we kept giving them an empty room number for the tab. AFAIK non of us ever got a bill for that!

Sounds great so far?

Anyone likely to be in the live chat this afternoon?

I'm old, and had an uncle who was a member at Carnoustie and remember being introduced to Jack Nicklaus in the mid 70s. From that point on he was my favourite golfer. Used to really dislike Steve Davis when he was robotically winning every snooker tournament going, but he was actually as human as you or I. I suspect hindsight made me appreciate the hard work he put in to stay top for so long. Donald Dewar, although I disagreed with his politics, If found a real gentleman, met him at several university debating compatitions. Alec Salmond was a dick though

A goalie, 2 full backs (one each side), CB cover, and 3 strikers and we're sorted lads!

Apparently it's STILL all our fault https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44866243 Well then Scotty, share the wealth? No? Aye fuck off then! :hammer: :hammer:

I'm pretty sure they must be infringing the UEFA PF rules? But, hay, it's a backwater team from a backwater, league, so let's just ignore it?

From BBC Gossip Just where is this money coming from?

Signed for Juve

Pretty sure there's on in Illinois. Wouldn't be surprised as I'm pretty close to a Huntly, an Elgin (pronounced El-Gin(like the drink) and an Inverness.

Fucking more "there's only 2 teams in Scotland" pish from the BBC and Brian(why are you so good)Laudrup https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44658999 Umm, lost a cup final to Hibs (of all teams) and have never finished above Aberdeen, but it's all Sevco and raSellik? Appalling "journalism" aimed at the lowest common denominator.

DId he break a finger holding the pen?

Sadly I have little confidence we'll progress, after all they probably have an even bigger budget than rasellikbyraway and can probably buy at least one player in this window that costs more than all our team combined! But then again we could cause an upset and "progress"

Notice the BBC online headlines are The rangers and Hibs?? Would have thought we'd at lease be worth a mention as it's against a side from the BBC's favourite spuked-over league. I know we finally get mentioned in the text eventually, but......

When the A/C goes faulty on the hottest weekend of the year....heat index at 100-105 degF and 75% + humidity. Nae fair on a Scottish loon!

I thought Brazil looked pedestrian, Neymar JR was fannying about too much and Switzerland deserved a draw

^^^ It isnae!

My abiding memory of Neale was in a game against Killie in the early 80's, might have been a cup tie? Anyway, Neale and Killie's Derek McDicken have a pretty solid head to head collision in the middle of the park. Both are down, both go off for treatment. Couple of minutes later Neale is back on and, I believe finishes the game, McDicken is out for the count.

Canna mind which game it was, but being asked to sit closer together in the Beach End so they go fit mair fowk in! Sitting at the halfway line in the SS when it was new. The walk back up Merkland Road after (another) win. (Mind you I hinna been in Scotland since 2011, let aloe Pittodrie)

It’s not fucking sad it’s a shit thing for those left to deal with it

Oot Work (maybe) Work (maybe) Fuck knows A win would be nice

I apologise as a Don for over 40 years but I still don't get the love-in for Zeroali. He really wasn't that good.

Neen o you buggers gonna keep me updated in the chat like?
