Isn't there some new law in the Dam where Johnny Foreigner can't get a smoke no more ? Where's the socialism in that ?

[Falconhoof]

Name changes

1959: Lokomotiv Gomel

1965: Spartak Gomel

1969: Gomselmash Gomel

1976: Mashinostroitel Gomel

1978: Gomselmash Gomel

Dundee sounds like a made up day of the week.

[Nebraska Red]

If we get Dundee United, we can ask Moyesy for some info as the people's club are playing them today. He'll be happy to help.

The dalliance with Mashinostroitel Gomel was always doomed to failure.

 

A most unhappy 2 years.

[Ibby]

Gomel is clearly the best name choice there. Will probably find out its twinned with Sc***horpe or something
