Wheesht

Penfold, check my bebo I've uploaded pics and the video from the game.

Let us all see!

The Schooner is the place to while awa a few hours

I nip in dere when I come ashore.

Well done ewe sheep. Dour first 45 but Aberdeen dominated the second 45 and scored a couple of great goals. Calderwood deserves his day in the spotlight, or is it artificail sunlight, for that win.

Well done indeed.

New year is dead as a special occasion. Just like any other weekend now.

Bells and bed I doot.

Damn oh well at least all the British teams will go through assuming that Rangers will.

I suspect they didn't even let down the whole of Glasgow.

Managers there would argue that it was never supposed to be a commercially run music venue (see my previous post taken from the Lemon Tree myspace site)

I don't understand, how else can it run?

I suspect it has less to do with the Celtic Mafia and more to do with the Western Isles being pretty solid Labour territory.

Investing in votes from regional areas who do not traditionaly vote for the nationalist party?

We could benifit there then given as we, as a county, vote Lib Dem or do the SNP administartion feel that the Lib Dems are turning a semi yellow colour of nationalist?

aye they are getting lots of publicity for the campaign, good luck and lets hope they get somewhere....

 

and the irony http://living.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1895752007

Ironic indeed but is it not the case that it simply was not financially viable to keep open even after many grants from Aberdeen Council and Scottish Arts over the years?

 

Presumably the SPHell will be bending over backwards and postponing your game from the previous weekend....?

 

Good point Maroon person. Aberdeen should be pressing for that help now, if they want it. There is always the mind set that playing an remaing match sharp is better than "resting".

 

Whats good for the goose is good for the sheep.

 

Shame it's a bigot's only rule.

Wasn't aware of any rule and Rangers are the first club to ask, I think, so a bit unfair there maybe.

If the Dons want to postpone they should get in there, the single game has now become important financially and obviously a footballing sense.

An few personnel digs cropping up here now, is that allowed mods?

Depends, I guess. If he is quoted as saying that, and if he does wear two hearing aids, then it's exactly the sort of thing I'd expect to see commented about on the likes of 'Have I Got News For You'.

 

Mockery of public figures is a national pastime, and quite right too!

If if if, balls, aunt, uncle.

If we win against Copenhagen on the 20th, we qualify for the knockout stages. Biggest game in years!

I see no difference in elected councilors sitting on the trust or elected other people doing it. We elect the council every four years and have the ability to change our councilors if we see fit. If I feel a person elected is not doing a decent job in any aspect or running Shetland's affairs I have a vote for change and use it.

No need.

sad day indeed.

 

been a long time since I've been, but got a few good but blurred memories of here

I wonder why?

Socks, I love socks. Oh and maybe some shower gel.

To some degree, but not up to their necks. If the petroleum industry is developed, as is hoped, there will be no financial reliance at all. It could then be used to develop other competences for the post-petroleum era.

While on the other hand, and that one point settles where my vote would go, is that Shetland is now at the stage of post-petroleum competences and will soon see a reduction in revenue from the port. The last deal (1996) effectively has reduced our real income by around £6m a year. We will need the same support Faroe rely on now in around 30 years time.

On your point about Faroe having no reliance at all upon Denmark, in these days of power and money do you seriously think that these companies will offer a deal of anything like the proportions of the one the SIC reached with the oil companies in the 70's? I can't see it - they have everyone over one of those oil barrells.

Monetary Unit etc., but what really matters on a daily basis, is that you don´t have to phone Copenhagen every time you want to go to the toilet,

So Faroe are not up to their necks in the financial reliance of Denmark?

I think that Euro can be a bit of a farse of a competition because Denmark won it in 92 and Greece in 04. Just seems a bit... empty and crappy.

Oh if only Scotland were that crappy

Councillors need to show that they have the balls to make the kind of money saving decisions that are necessary in the face of that and for the good of Shetland as a whole.

That is really what it all boils down to.

Those councilors who repeatedly vote against these major cost cutting measures, put forward to them by their own officials at the councilors request, are seriously burying their heads in the sand and continue to fritter away the reserves that should have been able to help sustain an economically vibrant economy is Shetland for generations to come.

The only voice of reason I have heard so far coming from the chamber is Alan Wishart's (BBC Radio Shetland last Thursday night) although there were others who voted obviously but remain in the background.

Those who continually vote against these, yes in some case hard to swallow, measures need to stand up and tell us all how they hope to achieve the same result – to cut spending. To vote against is easy but please come forward with alternatives that will keep make a difference year-on-year.

.

The difference between Shetland and Faroe in this period is called Home-Rule.

Surely you mean Danish rule, dependancy and reliance?

ICT for us.

I see a trend. Hotel extensions, Lerwick, Sumburgh, Kveldsro, Brae, and the entire Shetland. Built in the oil rush buildboom when planners allowed folk to build henious buildings all over.

Knock them down before the fall down or blown away. PLease

I and the biggest game of the year will be against Aston Villa then next year it will be West Brom in the Championship.

Ahhhhhh, nail on head.

McLeish v O'Neill round 23ish

I see it as a perfect opportunity to get some international experience for our younger players (IE John Fleck, Steven Naismith)

 

We need to keep up a good youth team if we want a future good senior team.

Just like last week when the "B" team played Ireland at Airdrie.

Lot, fat, that, good - make a sentence outa that.

David Moyes or Alex Ferguson.

And give them money to sign Drogba, Tevez and thon Brazilian wi the big teeth.

Could any from the Jo Public family tell the difference between the real or replica?
