    James McLean

    Did we ever decide why this fine gentleman was so misunderstood and manage to rid the club of a terrible sectarian problem that BST spoke of ? James McLean

    Football Politics

    Apologies if this has been posted/discussed before. Just a program about the distribution of the £10m Covid grant that the National League received. Rather slow but interesting nonetheless.

    A bit random but just came across a list of those who are celebrating - or would be doing if they hadn't left us - their birthday today. Too many to list them all so I have provided highlights below and happy birthday to them all and any AVFTTers who are celebrating today. John Logie Baird...

    O/T - Notiaranni's

    Despite living in Blackpool for nearly all my life, I have never set foot in the place. That was until yesterday, when I was walking past and decided to pop in. I had a sundae because they only do vanilla ice cream but there was only vanilla ice cream in my sundae, I should have been able to...

    Anna Karen RIP

    I don't know if this old news but I've just heard that she has left us after a house fire last night. She was brilliant as Olive on On the Buses and what a tragic way for her to go in her later life. I think that's all the main characters from On the Buses gone now. May she rest in peace...

    O/T Belfast Film

    Just wondering if we have any AVFTT Barry Normans who have been to see this Kenneth Brannagh Belfast Film that's on at the moment ? I've not been to the pictures for more than 20 years but I'm thinking of going to watch this so I am. Any views ?

    Sports Personality of the Year

    I know it's long been the case now but the BBC has managed to turn a national institution into the Pride of Britain awards. I used to look forward to this for weeks in my youth, what a pile of chite it is these days.

    O/T - Best Comedy Sketch

    A bit random I know but You Tube just directed me to Four Candles and I always like watching it every now and again. I don't think there has ever been a better comedy sketch and I don't think there ever will be one. What is the finest ever comedy sketch ? Please spare me the Dead Parrot.

    Calling any techies or computer folk - broken monitor

    Morning all, I bought an ASUS Chromebook about a year ago from Argos. I was carrying it in a rather lazy manner and I think this has resulted in the monitor being broken beyond repair. There is a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right of the screen, as if it is broken glass, to the...

    Kyle Lafferty

    I know he's no spring chicken - he'll turn 34 in September - but could he be a good short term and relatively cheap acquisition for next season ? Spare me all the pub league gags but he was still performing in the SPL at the end of last season and I think he would certainly give us an option...

    Best Female Vocalist Ever

    Appalled by the blatant sexism on the board and the continual disregard for the talents of one half of the population, I thought I'd better do my bit to address things. Perhaps it's not up for debate and we all know that it's Karen Carpenter ? The voice of an angel.

    Fixed Odds

    Racing not vintage today but I might have a dabble on the football too and I'm always interested in what others fancy. Plenty of aways teams that I thought were short enough: Brighton (at WBA) 10/11 Barcelona (at Seville) 6/5 Wolves (at Newcastle) 5/4 Fulham (at Palace tomorrow) 6/5...

    Ross County Supporters - AVFTT Branch

    Just to say well done on your result tonight. I know the opposition wasn't up to much but you can only beat what's in front of you and a massive three points towards staying up. Come on you Staggies.

    Happy Birthday Dave Pick

    I know we are always a country mile behind the old site but better late than never. I believe that our most experienced poster is another year older today. Can I be the first to wish the great man happy returns. All the best "Old" Dave, have a great day.

    Are there any TECHIES in the house ?

    Following on from the thorough advice I received from the good folk of AVFTT re a new computer (chromebook), do the AVFTT technical experts think this will be OK for mainly surfing the web ...

    Any Techies About ? I need a new laptop

    I need a new laptop ASAP but don't have a clue. I will be using it mainly just for messing about on the net so I don't want to pay OTT for something I don't really need but I certainly want it to be quick enough. I asked a few people who know far more than me and they suggested I'd only have...
