  1. Not been on for a bit but have been in radio contact with Salford and Blackley, what is going on? Salford have learned how to defend, Leyth have decided they're a Superleague club and are performing admirably in my view, points on the board at this stage which bodes well for them going forward. I tip my bowler to Smiffs kind words re Watko and the good Dr, I will say that the Leigh setup is first class and I hope they stick around. Never enough Lancashire teams in rugby league. As I said to blackley before though, my dream is still to avoid the middle 8's ???? No doubt we'll lose 10 points on a technicality ????
  2. RIP Rembrandt, love to your loved ones and God Bless
  3. Don't be daft! Follow the instructions above, buy a few box sets, read up a bit on the history of Jamaican music on wiki and fill your boots! And if you get an opportunity to shake your white ass just do so with gusto and have fun.
  4. I'll use the word genius for Les Dawson, his lugubrious delivery and brilliant use of language put him head and shoulders above his peers, and as has been rightly pointed out his influence is huge. His mother-in-law jokes were delivered with his tongue fixed firmly in his cheek, he basically subverted the genre.
  5. What I sort of meant was they looked as likely to score as we did. And being down to 10 men didn't really bother them
  6. They didn't just hit us on the break in the first half, they played us off the park IMHO. We put more pressure on them in the second half but we never made the extra man count really, which is a worry. Early days, keep the faith
  7. Certainly is and is highly recommended, but the soundtrack even stands up on its own as a snapshot of where Jamaican music was at during those times. An equivalent is Curtis Mayfield's unbelievably great Superfly soundtrack, the film captured inner city black America brilliantly but the soundtrack is arguably better than the film.
  8. If you want to listen to 'old skool' type reggae then take heed of everything Bolty said, listen to the excellent Trojan compilations as Bigtoe mentions, buy soundtrack album The Harder they Come' by Jimmy Cliff and others and if you don't like any of the above have a good look at yourself and realise that you don't actually like music basically! ???? If you do like it, anything involving Lee 'Scratch' Perry as a producer or artist, anything by Culture, Gregory Isaacs, Third World should get you started, as far as British reggae is concerned then 'Handsworth Revolution' by Birminghams excellent Steel Pulse is pretty much essential. Enjoy!
  9. Haha fair enough! Fair to say I've never had the urge to see the great man live, your report of the gig is fairly typical, even hardcore Dylanologists of my acquaintance have said its been a bit of a slog for the last few years. Would have loved to have seen him in his heyday though.
  10. The CD of the 'Royal Albert Hall' concert (because that's where it reputedly happened because of the London-centric music press, it was of course the Free Trade Hall in Manchester) is a beautiful thing. Speed-fuelled and antagonistic anger and bile that the cartoon punk rockers a few years later would have killed for. IMO obvs ....
  11. Prince was a genius, quality control issues I'll concede but that's because he spent every waking (non-shagging) hour making music FAO Kent, Bob Dylan may no longer be a great live act but if you're telling me that Bringing it all back home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde are self-indulgent dross I suggest you do something else that doesn't involve listening to music because you obviously don't get 'it' ???? NIC nailed it beautifully so respect to you sir
  12. Have I heard that Wakefield result right? Blimey! Good result for Salford yesterday in the end although we nearly contrived to blow it late on. Was flipping freezing, summer rugby, aye alreet!
  13. Warrington won that on sheer will power it looked to me, they looked dead and buried when Wigan scored early in the second. Some weird results again tonight, what the fuck has happened to Leeds?
  14. Wigan wannabes. We'll never play you again ????
  15. I remember that,,it was ace (????) They had a northern soul all-dayer going on today, I swear to god Timothy Taylor's landlord bitter, a load of northern (and with proper dancers, not like me obviously) and a decent game of rugby league, seriously what more does one want ? ????
  16. ST is as nice a bloke as you could ever meet, you are welcome to join us any time pal, belting day, let's not let the idiots spoil a good win and a great day out
  17. We're getting there about 12.30 ish, 2 pubs on the station, I'll pm my number
  18. Blackleywhite and I are having a day out in hudd tomorrow to watch Salford, if any of you lunatics are going and fancy a pre match woo-woo give me a shout
  19. Seriously, if folk think Feeney is a problem then they either don't go, don't watch or are influenced by yoof who slag him off because he's not Messi. Get an absolute fucking grip, he's our most effective player by a mile, he's not perfect but he's usually left to hang out to dry because he's on the opposing touch line ready to put a cross in but there's nobody in the box, or even over the half way line. For all the haters, just say who'd you replace him with that would make us better. Usual boo boy bollocks, let's have a pop at the one player who actually wants the ball, twas ever thus. We are not good, fair enough, lay off Feeney, he is good at this level, slagging him off brings to mind titanic and lifeboats.
  20. The Heaton / Harwood massive's plan is basically go to Leeds but don't go to the game, if this is of interest let me know through the usual secret channels ..!
  21. Good point, let's isolate ourselves and never play better teams. We should extend it into football, just let the top four clubs in Spain, Italy and Germany play each other (obviously not English teams who haven't won a carrot for years) to decide who's champion of Europe. Not playing better teams would enable us to stay mediocre but still be able to tell the rest of the world we are the best in the competitions we are to participate in.
  22. Mansfield Town 1- 2 Wimbledon, the year Wimbledon won the cup v Liverool. Randomist, or just finding somewhere to watch football on Boxing Day was Gillingham v Barnet, 2012 or 2013? Edgar Davids played for Barnet. £26 a ticket and £3 odd for a 275mm bottle of cider/lager, cheeky bastards. Barnet won 1-0 as it goes
