  1. Essentially yes I'd say. Levein is very good with the media and clearly has their respect as well while Jimmy had the habit of blaming players in his interviews when we lost. Fact is, he was well within his rights to do so as if the team haven't stuck to his tactics and that has lost them the game then it is their fault. I always thought points on the board was the main thing though and to quote a classic film: "I'd rather look bad and win than look good and lose" - Woody Harrelson, White Men Can't Jump - the best film never to win an Oscar...fact! Myself and my boss were speaking about Jimmy getting sacked the other day. Her point was that we shouldn't have got rid of him as football is a results business. Really that is nothing more than a cliche now as fans want to be entertained. Going by results, Jimmy was our best manager in a long time but the fans never took to him. Gordon Strachan wasn't liked at Parkhead yet he won four out of five titles. Arsene Wenger is loved at Arsenal but they haven't won anything since 2005 (I think) but play the most attractive football in the league. Results go a long way but style of play, respect, how articulate you are with the media are every bit as important I guess.
  2. I may be alone in thinking this but I reckon Jimmy would do a decent job at Killie. He took a disaster of an Aberdeen team and got them on the verge of third in his first season so I'm sure he could steady the ship at Killie. Certain things were glaringly obvious with Calderwood at the Dons such as the cup results against the lower division sides and it wasn't exactly sexy football but if Killie want results on the board then I reckon he is their man. I'm sure they will take 1-0 wins any day of the week if it means moving away from relegation. Killie seem fucked financially so dropping down a division could have serious consequences for them after all. If he comes back to Pittodrie as their manager I won't be booing him...unless they win of course, then he'll be a fat cunting judas.
  3. Caldwell off to Wigan now by the looks of it.
  4. If I remember correctly, we were told they would be violating copyright as soon as they hit record. To be honest, I accepted that and that may well be the case. It is a good point about allowing younger bands to record covers though. Would be a good experience and encouraging to give the opportunity for young bands to record. We're not young whippersnappers anymore so maybe that is where we went wrong. All this said, I'm sure Fleet Foxes aren't going to call in the lawyers on Panda Eyes or Musical Vision!
  5. Out of curiosity, were Musical Vision happy enough to record a cover? My old band had a voucher to record at the Foyer after playing a gig for them but our singer couldn't manage and the voucher was due to run out. The rest of us decided just to head in and record some covers for a bit of fun buy they wouldn't do it as they would have been infringing on copyright. We thought that was fair game to be honest. Maybe it was being cautious but I had just assumed all studios would have the same policy. I'll echo the sentiments already mentioned though, excellent version and a job well done!
  6. I was really pleased Mackie scored, he deserved it. I thought after the chance he missed in the 2nd half his head might go down but he kept plugging away. We played him to his strengths and that meant not getting the ball into his feet but getting him running into channels and then pestering defenders when they had the ball. I dare say his form will dip again but at least he is putting the effort in, be it to save his Dons career or put himself in the shop window.

    Snow

    Nah, snow is ace. Hoping for a nice big dumping of it in Austria at the start of April!
  8. I actually feel quite optimistic about the Dons for the rest of the season. Some top quality young lads coming through such as Pawlett and if we get another signing or two in the transfer window then we should make some progress. What a difference it makes having Pawlett and Fyvie both fit though. It's so hard to believe Fyvie is only 16, he plays like he has bags of experience and his decision making is spot on nearly every time. A real buzz seems to go up each time Pawlett gets the ball as he has such an ability of going passed defenders. Despite not being the most popular player among the fans I rate Maguire as well. He has bags of talent but needs a boot up the arse with his workrate, superb ball in for Lee Miller's goal yesterday but he needs to do that more often.
  9. That means there is a chance he'll come back...I'm clinging onto that 0.01%! And I agree with the Robson thing, he's a cracking player so can't understand why Celtic would get rid of him unless there is more to it behind the scenes.
  10. Can ducks, swans and other pond dwelling animals get hypothermia? I was out at my folks at Kingswells recently and had to walk past a pond on the way there yet there were ducks in the pond even though it was fucking freezing. If they don't get hypothermia, they must have shrivelled nadgers at the very least.
  11. I would consider it better than Christmas if he was shooting two guns.
  12. I think there should be a bit where Cannon is on a motorbike and tips it over to slide on the ground whilst shooting his gun. This could be the best car chase ever.
  13. Wasn't Snakes on a Plane written on an Internet forum? That was a box office smash and officially the best film never to win an Oscar so we're going to be quids in at this rate. Other scenes need to feature a slow motion shot of Cannon with a helicopter going overhead and one where he fires a whole clip of bullets into the air in sheer rage.
  14. Scene 3 - Upon Cannon's suspension, he retreats to a nearby strip bar (for obligatory tits scene). Cannon is sat at the stage staring at his vodka and coke in clear anger and contempt, oblivious to the stripper rhythmically writhing in front of him. However, nature calls and he heads to the toilets. (CUT TO TOILETS) Cannon is standing at a urinal when the door opens and in walks a tall blond man (Dolph Lundgren - playing evil henchman Kalashnikov) Cannon - 'Sup man. Kalashnikov - ... Cannon - I said...'sup man?! Kalashnikov - ... (produces gun) Cannon springs into action and grabbing a hold of the gun which fires into the ceiling. Nobody in the bar can hear due to the loud music...Cannon is on his own. The grapple spills to the floor and the gun falls from Kalashnikov's hand. Cannon reaches for the gun but it is just agonisingly out of reach. Kalashnikov throws Cannon into a cubicle and starts strangling Cannon...is this it? Is this the end for Cannon?! Cannon grabs the first thing that comes to hand - a shit-stained toilet brush - and stabs Kalashnikov in the face with it. Kalashnikov slumps to the floor and blood oozes from the toilet brush sized hole in his face. Cannon gets up to leave and turns round... Cannon - Don't forget to wash yo' hands...motherfucker. The battle has ended, but the war has just begun!
  15. When we win the Oscar for best movie, do we get one each or just the one that we have to pass round? It'll be like an under 12's football team who each get one week with the trophy!
  16. How can we get Axel Foley into the film?
  17. Dolph Lundgren could play his Russian counterpart called Kalashnikov.
  18. Right, so far we have the following: Working title - Pop Cops / The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down Actual title - Loose Cannon Plot - Marcus Cannon (Martin Lawrence) is tough city cop but after an incident involving a tank (in which he still apprehends the villain) gets his piece and shield (as they say) taken away by Danny Glover, his no bullshit senior. Cannon opens a strip bar called "Loose Cannons" and descends into a course of self destruction and drinking too much. Gary Busey orders a hit on his dog prompting Cannon to seek revenge with the assistance of his tough-guy cop buddys - Messrs McLean, Drebbin et al. However, the evil Busey (we need a villain name!) sets them up and puts them in a Running Man style game with no weapons prompting them to take out henchmen with their fists and acid tongues. I think Gary Busey should own a cat, which he strokes constantly. Hence his need to take out Cannon's dog. It's coming together! To keep it relevant though, favourite word - cannons
  19. As it was invented on the forums of a music website, I thought "Pop Cops".
  20. Of course, remember the dialogue will mainly be snappy one liners. Any other suggestions? Go ahead, make my day...
  21. In Gremlins, if you can't feed Mogwai's after midnight when can you start feeding them again?
