My old man died in 88 and watched the cup final in 87 from his hospital bed. He knew he had about a year ( can't beat a bit of asbestos) but never complained although we knew he was scared at times. My mother kept it all going at the time and made sure everything was normal as possible. She...

It is really nice ground. Steep stands so you feel close to the pitch (winning 5-1 may have contributed to my enjoyment of the stadium experience)

Relegation. We are truly fucked. Isn't it obvious.

It did - A day before my 32nd birthday. Full head of dark hair, no kids, physically fit, expendable income - now: 50, knackered knees, grey hair (what's left of it), 2 kids, skint - oh yeah, my football club is fucked. Happy days.

Brown sauce - or sometimes mustard (which qualifies as no sauce)

So you don't think we'll score then.

I was at the 5-1 win. January 98. Dublin X2 Huckerby X2 and Whelan. Wouldn't dream of going tomorrow even if I could. Credit to all who do though. - makes me sound like a glory hunter!

Goes on a bit. But seems a decent guy.

Glad I missed it - might miss a few more in the next few weeks. Totally disheartened. Fair play to all those who still attend though

I posted something similar a few weeks ago - this version is more succinct and to to the point though (better, to be succinct)

That makes two of us - in fact I am now annoyed that someone feels as annoyed as me. How annoying.

Ok, here goes: live - U2, Bruce, Pulp, Echo and the Bunnymen, James, Saw Doctor's, Florence, Wedding Present, Big Country, Dio, Michael Schenker Group, Morrissey, Gene, Ozzy, Psychodelic Furs

We can (but I get your point)

Not my fave band (although the sane Gallagher wrote some good songs), but Oasis first LP Definately Maybe was a proper rock album - an antidote to boy bands bands and rap shite. Played it at the weekend and it is still brilliant

I went in 84. Hot day and sober (on the motorbike) - van Halen, motley Crew, Dio, Gary Moore, Ozzy. Also in 88 wet day and tiddled. Kiss, GnR, Dave Lee Roth. Not a modern romantic in sight!

OMD at Monster of Rock? They would have been eaten alive

Just checked the Brits story with my kid brother who works in the media (not the CT!) - I got one word answer - True. Good enough for me

Talking of rumours. Carole Smillie used to flick herself off in the dressing room before filming. Worth looking up rumours on Una Stubbs, the Krankies and Lisa Stansfield

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle - she is a bit rough though.

Motown comes on - radio goes off
