    Re: Apathy towards the egg.

    Same with me in the 70's , if you even mentioned wanting to play football instead of rugby in PE you were usually scoffed at by the teacher and made to do 20 press ups in the mud. I think a lot of...
  2. Re: greatest player you have seen In a city shirt

    Re: 8 games in

    yes you're right. Think Alston and Willie Anderson left the season after we got promoted and Tony Evans struggled with form and injuries and went to Brum a few years later. All three were hard to...
  8. Re: Ollie Tanner - our greatest derby goal in many seasons

    Me to. We were 1-3 down with less than 10 mins left. Peter Kitchen scored and the rest is history. Yesterday was as good though.

  10. Re: CCFC signing that you were the most excited about?

    Many moons ago when we signed striker Micky Burns from Newcastle for quite a big fee at the time. Had scored loads for them but was awful for us and left to go back up north after a handful of...

    Re: The Ocean

    Fascinating stuff. I'm amazed that anyone could dive to nearly 1000ft. Don't think I'd have much faith in that sub, sounds like it was made in someone's garage in their spare time ☹️
