Gilamas Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Just by way of a shout out to Jimmy Jimmy who posted this nice introductory message on another thread. I don't know Jimmy Jimmy but thought it was a decent touch to post an introductory message and that it should have a clear platform - both for itself and by way of welcoming other new members (other than the stirrers and trouble-makers!): Morning all - newbie here so a bit of background info. Just moved to Edinburgh from Northern Ireland (one son in Aberdeen, one in Newcastle so here is in the middle) so have decided to follow Hearts mainly because of the high percentage of NI players here although Boyce rarely starts for NI. I was going to do an introductory thread but could not see how to, maybe I have to serve a period of time first. And as this was the biggest thread, I thought I would start here. What on earth is going on with Scottish Football. My username is also a reference to my favourite Undertones song although it could be a tribute to our rich friend! Quote
CostaJambo Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Good tune, was wondering if the thread title was a reference to the Undertones. You have certainly picked an interesting time to start following the famous! Quote
sprinbox98 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Welcome to the club. Where about have you moved from in Northern Ireland? Quote
AndyNic Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Could have sworn I read the thread as The Jimmy Dunne Thread Quote

Jimmy Jimmy Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Ha ha, excellent and thank you. It was only after I posted my message that I saw the big "Start a topic" button at the top of the page. Undertones or Moondogs tho? Quote

ramrod Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I really hope Jimmy Jimmy doesn't turn out to be ANOTHER interloper on here , **** knows we've had enough of those sad sacks in the last few months 🙄 Quote

EIEIO Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 My Perfect Cousin is surely everyone's favourite Undertones track. Apart from John Peel's obviously. Quote

Jamhammer Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Welcome to the rollercoaster that is being a Jambo Jimmy. Teenage Kicks is their best song. It was a My Generation for my generation. Love them all mind and also That Petrol Emotion which featured the O Neil brothers Quote

I know Feargal Sharkey well - he's now obsessed with the regulation of Britain's water ways and protecting the rights of fly fishing. A good friend and still chain-smoking after all these years. There's a movie about the music scene back then called Good Vibrations that you might enjoy. Quote

Jimmy Jimmy Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Loving this thread! As I said on my 2nd post on the other thread, I think a lot of the jokes will go over my head and being honest in saying that I didnt pay too much attention to Scottish football when living at home. It was automatically assumed that you supported Rangers or Celtic and that wasn't for me. I probably wont even post that much for fear of saying the wrong thing until I find my feet! Anyway, much as I like Teenage Kicks, my top three Undertones tracks would be: Jimmy Jimmy Get over you Here comes the summer (a minute and half of perfection) Quote

Is he not doing something with music still, one of those star things. Never struck me as a fly Fisher man but there you go. I had to watch Good Vibrations twice as I cried the whole way through it, a reminder of my youth. Good to see some of the Outcasts playing parts too lol Quote

SE16 3LN Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Probably the best gig I ever went to was the Undertones in St Andrews in 1979. Nearly all 40 of us on the stage by the encore. Welcome Jimmy Jimmy, great song but the less well known Emergency cases is probably my favourite. Quote
Gilamas Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 Of course, Mr Sharkey left The Undertones, was in The Assembly and serenaded Doncaster and the SPFL for when we’d have their next fiscal planning and good management initiatives: Quote

SMJ_1874 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Was it not the undertones that were meant to be playing live one Christmas on tv? The drumsticks chapped together and then the singing started. Then everyone started looking at each other in bemusement as they were meant to be mining to a recording. I vaguely seem to recall this. Quote

Saw them a few times live back in the day and they were a brilliant band live. Still going strong I believe with the original line up except for Feargal. Ended up chatting to him once outside the Glasgow Apollo after a gig and he devoured my Irn Bru in a matter of seconds. 😅😅 Happy days 👍 Quote
