  1. Sorry if already posted, but this is superb background information as to why the Huns are finished -: http://rangerstaxcase.com/
  2. My book "Village Voice; the 2009/2010 Season with Percy Main Amateurs" is pretty good like; I'll send a copy to anyone who PMs and asks for a copy
  3. aye - made a right knob of myself; sorry about that shouldn't post when plastered
  4. My granddad was born on 24th Dec 1899; he died in Feb 78 mind...
  5. That Kev's what you call a wrong'un isn't he?
  6. just had homemade Cullin Skink (smoked haddock & potato soup) - magnificent
  7. I had it from seafood chowder in a pub in Crail in Fife; it's the only time since i was potty trained i've literally shit myself.
  8. last won at home 2001, 3-0 v Beasts last won away 1988; 2-1 v Sheff Wed (Rob McDonald scored!!)
  9. what?! how can you live with yourself top game in the Northern League; with North Shields v West Allotment both in D2 (and playing each other at 12, so I'm contemplating a two header), i reckon there could be 600+ at Hillheads. Come on the Walkergate Brazilians!!!
  10. I'm off to Whitley Bay v Benfield instead
  11. Some perm haired Trotskyist who drove round in BMW's and Jaguar's with the personalised plate 'DEG5Y' as I recall. Having a perm and driving around in personalised luxury cars being amongst the main tenets of Trotskyism. ah. A champagne Socialist. better than a brown ale Nazi Did he let you have a go on his wife? He wasn't married to her at the time. Bear in mind, it was 1982/83 when I knew him
  12. Chest pains apparently, thus disproving the notion he's a heartless bastard
  13. I've just made pork terrine for Christmas

  15. Who? Cheik! Think it's only J69 thinks he's shit....and has done for a while. Whilst I don't think he's shit, he most certainly isn't as "great" as some make him out. He's by no means shit. He's great at what he does and it's highly important (harrying opponents/breaking down play-we've scarecely ever had that), it's just he's a 'shit' footballer. ie he's not very good with the ball. His pass completion is always good because they're short lay offs once he's gained possession so that stat itself is largely meaningless. It's totally different to trying to make incisive defence splitting passes into space for your forwards to read. This is why for me if he does go we can't have the mentality it's some sort of irreplaceable loss. The function he performs is what has been shown to be so important to the team and so it's an exercise in making sure we've always got someone/our eye on someone who can perform the same basic role. He's not a natural footballer so that shouldn't be such a mammoth task, he just carries out a highly important defensive function. If he had an attacking side to his game it would be nigh on impossible to replace him (he'd be the 'complete' footballer) but he doesn't. Far from it in fact, for me he could train all week without a ball and probably be quite happy. your phone's ringing!

  17. Very left wing pressure group inside the Labour Party in the 1970s & 1980s. Up to 20,000 members at one time; now much smaller http://www.socialistworld.net/view/38
  18. No, I never met Hatton, luckily or unluckily enough.. however it's quite interesting to see how many Miltant full time activists got involved in football; Andy Walsh Chief Executive of FC United is another, as is Bill Brewster who set up When Saturday Comes. Others include NE playwright (who was guest on pitch at half time in promotion game v Sheff United) Ed Waugh & local radio bloke Andy Walker (not the footballer though) Actually best footballer i knew in Militant was Tommy Sheridan, but that's a whole different story all together....
  19. to clarify, he's Ian Gilmour; his dad is Frank Gilmour, who is alive & managing the Benton Ale House, who used to be in INUSA back in 1998. i'm Ian Cusack; my dad was Eddy Cusack, who died in 2009 & has his retirement do at the Benton Ale House (or The Sun as it was at the time) i drink in the Benton Ale House, so there's no problem between Frank & me; the problem i had back then was with Kevin Miles (who i've known since 1981) & that is all in the past hope this helps.... I don't think it's appropriate for you to slag Kevin Miles off today when he has no way of retorting. I've met Kevin and he's a nice man. As I said so what if he was in Militant, better than the BNP or something like that, and with nearly 4m unemployed people did desperate things in the 1980s. I knew Kevin through Militant

  21. Ah the sound of young scotland How I wish I was young again.......... "Blue Boy," "Simply Thrilled Honey," "Poor Old Soul" - has there ever been a finer trio of singles?
  22. obscurity is where genius lies... wasn't Free Live recorded at the mackem Mayfair?
  23. I'm proposing "scarves for Kim Jong-Il," so should there be 4 mins of injury time at WBA game we will wave scarves to celebrate the year he came to power, 94
