Football / Re: Falkirk v Hearts
« on: November 14, 2006, 03:17:33 PM »
I was there! 

It was a dreadful night, it was a Monday (who plays footie on a Monday night!) - rain lashing for most of the game, wind gusting, not a great night for football.  My neighbour at the stadium said before the start of the game that he had dreamt that Falkirk would win 2-1 with goals from a Latapy power drive free kick and the other from Gow.  Latapy did have his free kick chances but a goal wasn't forthcoming.  His magic in the centre of the park was stunning taking the pish out of some the Hearts youngsters several times.  Magic!  And then there was his goal - the right place at the right time and he had the Scotland No 1 well beat!   ;D

If only the match had lasted another 10 minutes and i'm sure we would have seen another goal!

Soca Warriors to thank Scottish fans
 
The Herald WILLIAM TINNING June 29 2006
 
Their participation in the World Cup captured the imaginations of thousands of Scots across the country.
Now the government of Trinidad and Tobago wants to thank the people of Scotland for their "unwavering support" for the team by staging two events in Edinburgh and Glasgow featuring musicians from the Caribbean islands.
With Scotland failing to qualify for the World Cup the Tartan Army got behind Trinidad and Tobago in their game against group opponents England.
Jack McConnell, the First Minister, also controversially supported the so-called Soca Warriors against the Auld Enemy.
The support north of the Border for Trinidad and Tobago was due mainly to the fact that several of their players ply their trade in the Scottish leagues, including the aptly named Jason Scotland.
Trinidad and Tobago flags and bunting were put up at pubs and bars across Scotland in support of the team.
Even a CD - Scotland at the World Cup - in tribute to the St Johnstone player, was released.
A spokesman for Trinidad and Tobago Tourist Board, said: "Having bowed out gracefully from the World Cup, the Soca Warriors, Trinidad and Tobago' football squad, has helped to put the tiny Caribbean islands well and truly on the map.
"The government of Trinidad and Tobago would like to thank the people of Scotland for their unwavering support and has planned two events in Glasgow and Edinburgh featuring live entertainment by well-known musicians from Trinidad and Tobago as a special thank you."
The events, to be held in Glasgow's George Square and Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens on July 15 and 16 respectively, will feature the six-piece Soca, calypso and reggae band - Flame, limbo dancers, cultural dancers, and SW Storm.
An official T&T after World Cup party is also planned at the Corinthian nightclub in Glasgow on the Saturday from 7pm, where free glasses of rum punch will be available for the first 300 customers.
It is hoped that Falkirk players Russell Latapy and Denzil Theobald, and Jason Scotland, will attend the events.

in Saturdays Times newspaper the writers covering the World Cup have named their best 11's based on the games watched so far.  Out out of 7 writers, three name T&T players in their "Team of the Tournament"!!

Rick Broadbent and Owen Slot would have Shaka in goals and Tom Dart (who had Kasey Keller in goals!) would have Carold Edwards and Dennis Lawrence in his top 11.   ;D ;D

Football / Re: Final eleven just called on I95
« on: June 20, 2006, 03:57:37 PM »
so what u all saying now? I don't think Shaka would have been any better than Jack and indeed apart from a couple of shaky moments very early n the game I thought Jack had a great game...  Less so for Densil but he still had a good game for someone so young...  I too would have liked to have seen Sammy on - but for whom??  MOTM for me was Edwards - thought he was immense tonight.   :D

we leave for Germany on June 3 - just 22 days from now!!  Should we be worried? 

the last email suggested they would be available next week...  What does that mean?  Is that the TTFF posting them out to WN in the US and then WN will have to post them out to us??  Gonna be cutting things fine?!
