Yeh..and don't I know it

Basically it's this: around the middle of the week I will ask MrCaleyjag to do a chore round the house - he'll say he can't manage cos he has to do the NAPS for the site 😉. He then goes to a betting site (normally Bet365 but he can correct me) and will copy across all of the 3 lower leagues fixtures for the next weekend along with the odds for home wins, away wins and draws. It's then up to you to predict a result - the higher the odds the more points you get. Winner at the end of the season get bragging rights. For the winter months and midweek fixtures there must be at least 6 games for a NAPS to happen. Keeps an interest in the lower leagues, also do you run the risk of tempting fate of predicting ICT to win??? Any questions, just bellow!

Your safe there because that will be me 🤣

A Cove fan I know, who goes to their games home and away, feels he was their stand out player last season. He said he is hard working and will put in a good shift on the wing. He turned down a new contract at Cove and I’m told he is worthy of being at a higher level than them. Time will tell but, as Scotty says, let’s give him a chance and show our support.

and we know which end of the table each of those teams were at for most of the season... will give the boy a chance and hopefully be pleasantly surprised 🙂

Not sure we need another winger when we don't get people into the box. At one point on Tuesday, Shaw made a great run down the left, and a good cross into the box... and there was no one there. Mind you, every kid knows that you should look before crossing

Longstaff's pedigree isn't bad - Liverpool youth system, England u17 international. But he had a pretty underwhelming loan at Queen's Park in 2021-22 where he was only really a squad player in League One, then he didn't really register on the radar at Cove last season. I imagine he'll be this season's Steven Boyd - a cheap backup wide player who we're hoping will live up to earlier potential. I'd prefer we were signing players who clearly improved the starting lineup.

Winger Luis Longstaff has joined us on a two year deal: https://ictfc.com/luis-longstaff-signs-for-ictfc/

More money than sense

Do you get a prize for coming last, that's what I'm aiming for 😁

We are probably looking for opposition nearer to our own level
