Tbh i wouldnt be suprised if Foran simply battled on with an injury. He is that sort of player.

Game 1 - Red Dot Rovers v Admin Asssholes Red Dot Rovers ; Laurence - Dougal Mahonio - Pull My Finger Dalneigh Caley - subs : 12th Man deadball specialist Admin Asssholes : Caley D - Scotty Mann4thejob - Alex McLeod Yngwie - RIG And the legendary ADC Kidd blows to start the 2012 competition. And we have a record breaking goal in 6 seconds, lashed in by the effervescent Dalneigh Caley which has brought roars of derision from the crowd and sets the scene for the rest of the game. The beaten CaleyD adds 30% to the warn status. And before the lull can rest Mahonio has notched a second. The wee Wicker has ran on to a through ball by Pull My Finger, rounded Mann4the job and Caley D - which meant he actually had to feckin go via Wick and dinks one in. But Laurence has been red dotted for the celebration where he has ran from the goal and showed his wrinkled erse to the shocked Scotty. Laurence departs in the belief that it has provided the only bit of entertainment that has been seen in Sneck since his arrival from Broadmoor. Yngwie gets one back, under suspicion that he has been assisted - like a line out - to head home. He claims that Naelifts was not involved. Half Time : Red Dot Rovers 2 Admin Asssholes 1 Dougal scores within 4 seconds of the kick off - but is red dotted for his display of a T-Shirt proclaiming "Once a Clacher alwys a clacher". Rovers bring on dead ball specialist and 12th Man and try to hold out - but RIG also comes off the bench and waxes lyrically about its qualities. Mann4the job equalises from a free kick which is a reminder fo his hero Blobby - well in stature if not in style. And with the Golden Goal beckoning Alex McLeod pops up with a late winner. Alex decides to write a poem about the feat which could mean that he will be unavailable until 2013. FULL TIME : Red Dot Rovers 3 Admin Asssholes 4 - in a game reminiscent of the old Newcastle Brown Ale v Liverpool Sousewives classics.

As Davie said on another thread, the only reason Foran does not have a broken leg is that he was not standing on it at the time. This meant that the power from O'Hanlon's lunge was not resisted and therefore it pushed Foran's leg away rather than breaking it. I have to say that my initial reaction had been that O'Hanlon had been trying to trap the ball but that Foran got there first. A closer look shows that is not the case for 2 reasons. Firstly, had Foran's leg not been in the way, the ball would not have been quite where O'Hanlon was aiming for. Secondly, this was a stamp, as evidenced by the damage to Foran's leg, whereas to control the ball with the sole of the boot requires give in the leg to take the pace off the ball. Regardless of intention, it was clearly a bad foul and warranted a yellow at least even if the referee saw it at the time as a genuine attempt to get the ball. But for me the issue is not the referee's failure to make the correct decision at the time, it is a question of what action the authorities decide to take now. The more I look at it the more it seems as though O'Hanlon is deliberately stamping on Foran. Had Foran beeen standing on the leg it could have been a career ending injury. The fact that it wasn't is down to luck and doesn't change the recklessness or intention of the challenge. All too often people are punished for the outcome of the action rather than for the action itself. There is no doubt that had Foran's leg been broken and the referee sent O'Hanlon off, he would have been given a lengthy ban. But would that outcome mean that O'Hanlon's actions were any more reckless. No. Of course not. O'Hanlon made a reckless challenge that could have ended the career of a fellow professional. The SFA have the evidence and should throw the book at him. Will they take action? Probably not. Instead they will hide behind the ineptness of the referee and do nothing.

GAME 2 - HowdenEnders v Englandshire HowdenEnders: DJS - Caley 100 Mantis - IHE Buckett subs: Doresboy, Kind of Blue Englandshire: Dewsbury Dude - Gringo CaleyMadinBerks - sotonict Gringo jnr (guest) subs: HawkeyetheGnu Oats The Cullicudden Coliseum rocks to the dulcet tones of Showwaddywaddy and the "Lets go fer a little walk under the Howden end" as the ex supporters of the greatest club in world history ply their trades. And the 4000 support, just back from Perth, are stunned in to silence when the latest ICT Leg End Gringo Jnr latches on to his faithers through ball and makes DJS look as if he needs L plates. And the sassenachs heap on the misery as CaleyMad in Berks swivels his zimmer in the box and toe pokes, a la Djebi-Zadi, though the legs of IHE - nuff said !! But Mantis pulls one back just before the break after a 1-2 with Buckett which brings back memories of Penman and Johnston. HALF TIME: Howden Enders 1 Englandshire 2 Sensation at half time as Englandshire are pushed in to taking on Oats and HawkeyetheGnu - apparently Dewsbury Dude found a bottle of Scrumpy in the showers and sotonICT went back to the BacPackers for a kip. Oats goes in goals in his Canadian garb. And it is the other newcomer Kind Of Blue who smacks in the equaliser after Buckett shows some more of that 70's magic. And more drama - the First Aiders have run out of WD40 and caleyMadinBerks is sidelined. And more drama - Gringo is ushered out of the Coliseum by Mrs gringo as their train leaves in 15 minutes. And the Howden Enders take advantage and Caley100 heads home in the style of his old heroine, Craig Brewster - IHE waves his boots in respect. FULL TIME : HowdenEnders 3 Englandshire 2

GAME 4 : OVERSEAS ORIENT v CENTRAL BELTERS GTWB have made this a late kick off becos of Cullicudden lock ins and to facilitate kick off times around the globe (or I have been on the pishh all ady) Overseas Orient: Scarlet Pimpernel - Gabby Krakatoa - luv gravy ronnyyc sub: ymip Part Timer (guest!!) Central Belters : ICT Chris - Red card Mary Hill - Caley Stan Wanderer Top six - subs: Born Caley ICT Paisley The closing game is going world wide so the sponsors have been changed to Labbatts Blue, Fosters and any other forign feckin beer ya like. Drama - penalty from the kick off - Krakatoa erupts and takes down Caley Stan - who curses in some Greek twang annd curses - Mary Hill steps up and cheekily chips the ball over SP.s bald napper and scores the only penalty fer ICT in 2011 - put that in yer next feckin preview and heed the words of another brick in the wall. And within at minute the same situation happens at the other end - Red Card slices luv gravy in two - Must be a Polish gravy - and Red Card runs to the Sky Cameras (again) to celbrate a red card !! ronnyc steps up and nets - and then shoots off back to Time Square as he is booked to do a Lady Gaga act fer the New Year clebrations. HALF TIME : Overseas Orient 1 Central Belters 1 (Instead of a bigger font can someone send SP a feckin magnifying feckin glass) The Cullicudden Coliseum erupts with the chant of "Northen boys love gravy" and on feckin cue - luvgravy slips in like a "moose in the hoose" and puts the overseas boys ahead, But the weegies HIV capital Highland Exile dwellers fite back and Wandererfinds a chink in the defence and scores (as easliy as IHE in Wang Chai !!) and the Belter fecks the ex Orient. Part Timer comes on in the last minute - just before the last round, the last train and the last plane - and wins the game Own feckin goal !! Overseas Orient 2 Central Belters 3

GAME 3 - JEGGIE BESTARDS v OWD WUMMIN GTWB Productions would wish to apologise (laff) in advance of any ditsress ( :love02:) caused to any individuals in respect of associating with Owd Wummin - lets face it there is little difference between Jeggie Bestards and Owd Wummin anyway - actually sincere apolgies to any ladies associated !! Jeggie Bestards - Kingsmills - King Beastie Govan Jaggie - Tichy Blacks Back (TBB) Red and Black Comeback (RBC) subs: Jaggy666 Jagster Owd Wummin : Lg - Maimie Lizi - Donview OldCaleyGirl subs: davie Doofers Dad In commeration and recognition of the role of Inverness Thistle in respect of the club history the Pyrotechnics Society burnt down a replica of the old Kingsmills Stand, illuminated by red and black fireworks. And in recognition the feckin Jeggies take an early lead when - of all peeple - TBB races down the rite wing and plants the purrfect cross on to the napper of RBC who powers home a header that even Murd Urquhart couldnt stop. But the owd wummin swing their hanbags in response - especially the Guinnness Donview version - and the owd Clacher smashes in an equaliser. But there is even more controversy just before the break as King Beastie beats Lizi at the back post and powers it past the flailing Maimie. But the AndyCam replay suggests that KB had surreptitiously whooped Lizi's tartan rug over her head and Govan Jaggie had asked Lg to phone him a taxi. HALF TIME: Jeggie Bestards 1 Owd Wummin 1 The owd wummin are more like loose wummin after the restart and the wummin appoach is strengthened by the subs of davie and Doofers Dad - or the male equivalents of Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan. davie wafts lyrical and distracts the Jeggies momentarily - and before ya could pop to the Heathmount for a half time pint - Doofers Dad smacks home a beauty - and Doofer applauds. But the Jeggies are a cheatin resolute bunch and are soon back on equal terms. Jaggy 666 comes on and in true Omen tradition spins his feckin head around 360% degrees, scares the shittt out of the wummin - especially Donview - and the game goes to Golden Goal. FULL TIME - Jeggie Bestards 2 Owd Wummin 2 And from the kick off Kingsmills goes over the legalities and rules - summons both teams in to the centre circle to discuss - and samcks the ball off the center cicle into the Owd wummins box and it hits the proverbial hair net - GAME OVER

From Hong Kong. Possibly the best own goal I've ever seen.

Well, if such a tackle is against the rules it could be a deal breaker for ICT to launch a law suit against the SFA for refusing to act on "The rules" to punish the player. Extreme? No !!! By taking this immediate and decisive action, ICT would show how strong this team and their management is and that this problem will no longer be tolerated. If you are not prepared to fight for what you believe in then no wonder you get singled out for improper treatmemnt.That's why I liked Terry's rants against the SFA. Putting up with this kind of crap, game after game, earns the club no respect and in fact may be promoting and exacerbating the cynical attitudes that currently prevail at high levels. An unimpeded continuance of this unfair treatment at the expense of "The Rules" will hurt ICT and further reduce the reputation of Scottish football. What's needed is for the beaten dog to suddenly turn on the beater and give him or her a savage bite and a shock that they will not recover from quickly. RESPECT chums. Go for it ICT. Anyone agree wth this?

Whether Foran played on or not is irrelevant. It was a dreadful tackle and it was just pure luck that Foran was relatively unhurt.
