    ON THIS DAY: Friday 6th January 1950 - Willie Carr was born in Glasgow.

    There's highlights of this on Youtube, I saw the incident in question, and that centre half Bennet was HUGE - just shows Speedie had no fear, and could gain a psychological edge over anyone he faced off against.

    ON THIS DAY: Friday 6th January 1950 - Willie Carr was born in Glasgow.

    Haha, oh how we miss the Jocks of old - Scotland produced so many gifted players through the decades, and thankfully, we had our fair share of them. I always remember Speedie for his lobs, his amazing headers and his ability to wind up the opposition like no other. I was only about 9 or 10...

    Car Service

    It's probably do-able by yourself, if you have a moderate grasp of what's required. Services are just another mechanism to part us from our cash, and in no way are they worth the hundreds of pounds we're charged for them. Local garages, some of them anyway, will service any car for a fraction of...

    What's your tipping point?

    And we'll find that all of those doinks who switched to supporting Leicester last season, will soon be switching back to Chelsea, Arsenal or Man Utd. Also, since I can't actively attend matches anymore, my support is limited to match threads here to be honest...I'd still attend if it were...

    Paul Telfer

    Indeed, his inability to find a Sky Blue shirt at short range was comical. Stupidly, some of his crosses were pretty good. He just seemed so rigid and robotic on the ball, like C-3PO with a wig on.

    Car Service

    Services are a rip-off, generally. £100+ to top your fluids up, and fanny about under the bonnet pretending to be busy. If there's work to be done, you're charged on top of that, at a particularly high rate. It various from dealership to dealership, some are ok, some are downright criminal in...

    Sleep Disturbances & Insomnia

    I drink Green Tea and actually stomached some Lapsang Souchong, which was definitely an acquired taste. :-) Point taken about the priority, I just have a strangely sensitive gag reflex. Thanks for the info.

    Things that annoy you

    If you read my remarks correctly, mate, I clearly stated that there are many older drivers who are still good drivers, it's just that when drivers are over 70, their reflexes, coordination and motor skills are reduced by over 50%. I'm 37 and am a particularly careful driver, and yes, I've seen...

    Alan Hutton

    That's your opinion. Mine is different. Let's not get uppity over something so trivial, hmm? I will not bring anything up, or counter your remarks, because someone wants a bite. Your opinion is noted, the end. :-)

    Video Bolton v City 1998

    Didn't go, personally, but Geoff Foster got a bit over-excited on CWR as the goals rattled in after halftime. Funny the shit you remember about football from 19 years ago...

    Alan Hutton

    It means exactly what I stated, what is unclear? There is a gulf of difference in the tempo, physicality, tactics and overall style of play in the lower leagues, is this not correct? Your sarcasm and outrage seem quite exaggerated at such a clearly-stated opinion as the one I posted. Hutton is...

    Things that annoy you

    Sums it up perfectly, Nick. Yes, they're old, yes they should still have independence, but so many older OAP's have no cognizance of what they're doing, or rather what they're NOT doing. No mirror checks, nothing.

    Things that annoy you

    I had a similar incident around New Year, on my way to Brecon to see family. 50mph stretch, junctions on either side, some old fool in a Fiesta pulls out at 10mph on the right hand junction, cutting up oncoming traffic and there's me expecting him to speed up a bit when he's out of the junction...

    Northampton away

    It'll bring back some odd memories, for those in attendance. I dare someone to start chanting: "We're coming home, we're coming home, we're coming...City's coming home" in the away end, just for a giggle. Show Timmy we have a sense of humour regarding one of the blackest times of the club's...

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    Barely had a gut to start with, and being so tall I hide any excess weight pretty well - 14 stone 3lbs at the minute, which isn't bad for someone who's 6'3'' and stocky anyway. Always hated the gym, to be honest, much rather walking, jogging or chasing magpies out of my garden. I ate like a...

    Things that annoy you

    Sean Paul, the alleged singer, really annoys me. Not him personally, just his chosen style of singing...all I hear is "Allybobbadeebarindabobbydardeeeeeear!" whenever his less-than dulcet tones appear over the car radio...maybe it's my age, dunno, but his singing really gripes me. In fact it...

    Cian Harries to Liverpool?

    This is where Liverpool feign disinterest in the lad, and try and get him for pennies, just to see if Fisher will accept any old shit bid. £1 million at the least, the very bare minimum.

    Paul Telfer

    I saw a lot of Telfer in my many years of season ticket holing, and to be fair he caught a lot of flak from the home fans. He always seemed rigid and robot-like in his movement, which highlighted his lack of technique, and generally he was an easy target for the boo-boys because he rarely did...

    11 million pound signing

    Stick him in the Beckenbauer role, sweeper. :-) Seriously though, although Harries has great prospects, he's very raw and very rough around the ends; saying that, at Liverpool, he'd be molded into something quite special. It's a modern day trait for CB's, to have that technical side to their...

    Alan Hutton

    Too old and hasn't played at a lower level, unlike Foley. Seems injury prone and stale, so no, I'd plump for Foley myself and I believe RS will see the same.
