Think we can trace the origins of Lubo’s second at the pox in April 2001 to here, mibbe??
Novembre 1994, 16e journée de D1, ASSE-Caen
Une pluie torrentielle s'est abattue sur Saint-Étienne. Titi Camara a ouvert la marque pour les Verts. On est en fin de match et Caen pousse pour égaliser.
Alors, un certain Lubomir Moravcik laisse parler son talent... ⚽️😳💚🇸🇰

Paul Buchanan gives us an insight into the origins of The Blue Nile and 'Tinseltown in the Rain' on this Top 2000 agogo interview. Paul's acoustic version at the end is so powerful and will bring a tear to your eye, for sure

It’s Christmas 1987, and the recently turned fifteen year old me receives these albums as gifts:
‘High Land, Hard Rain’
‘Rattlesnakes’
‘You Can’t Hide…’
‘Pacific Street’
And this..
Thankfully, my life would never, ever be the same again.
STRANGEWAYS, HERE WE COME
The Smiths
Released 28.09.1987
Girlfriend in a Coma, Stop Me If You Think, Last Night I Dreamt, I Started Something and more.

Opened this in the office and I’m not sure what caused me to laugh like a drain more: McLaughlin’s utterly preposterous description of Mussolini or the razor sharp replies. Read the thread, you won’t be disappointed..
Celtic charged by UEFA for ‘illicit chants’ and an ‘illicit banner.’ Relates to Europa League match via Lazio where some fans displayed banner of former Italian wartime leader, Benito Mussolini hanging upside down. Lazio also charged for fan chanting.

I will never, ever tire of the £5.99 exchanged at Virgin, Union Street, Glasgow.

Paul Quinn & Edwin Collins, a wonderful cover version of The Velvet Undergrounds 'Pale Blue Eyes' written by Lou Reed(1969). I think this version was released 1984? Maybe some of you can clear this up? Punk Rock Hotel? Mrs Beddington's Box?
