The Mantis

This is all local to us down here. He went to our school and some of our girls were involved or knew the ones who were. Jefferies was furious with him when it broke last year and he sent the player down to England to take the heat off. I suspect Jefferies didn't want him back and as somebody mentioned, his principles will come into play sooner or later.

Best of luck to the big man in what will be a tough shift in the Championship.

The Midden have been living on borrowed time. Make or break time for Danny Lennon, if his latest crop of signings improve the team then he'll feel he's arrived as a manager. Hope they bomb. I think we'll struggle to maintain the same performance as last time, but enough experience in the squad to stay up. Obviously I hope this turns out to be unkind comment on Terry & Mo's judgement.

Hair? Wot's that then? Happy birthday old git.

I would say world football is a massive business and there's no shortage of nations wanting to qualify for World Cups. There are various political motives for combining nations such as ours, unlike in rugby where the six nations is pretty much on a par with the World Cup, and the World Cup needs nations like Scotland to make it interesting/competitive. Fifa doesn't need us, we're a minnow. They don't want us either, in case it gives other people/regions ideas. Maybe if rugby ever attained the status of football as a world game then our rugby team would be threatened in the same way. I'm against it, just in case you didn't notice.

So I just switch from nips to pints then. Sorted.

D'oh!

For some daft reason we've got Hearts at home twice, same as last year. Obviously good for the coffers as we only get the Dons once this season, but bad for the Tynie awaydays - Nov 26 will be eagerly awaited. Also Hibs at home twice so only one trip to Easter Road on Dec 28 which is a Wednesday. Unless we finish in the top six of course.

Just to add to the confusion, Neil Macdonald's dad Rasper was another Nessman or Niseach.

I think Herchie had a fair bit of skill but was about 3 stone overweight - did you ever see him play before the SFL?

Mmmmm.....nice

Mmmm..... nice.

Is that 'celtic cousins' with a hard c?

We went to the wrong place when arriving home from Hamilton. Imagine if we'd gone to Lava and Ignite, we'd have been able to get coked up with Blackie! Allegedly. Aye but who knows what youse got up to after Daddy Mantis left youse in that gay bar?

Seconded. HUUUUUUGE gonads.

Vaults was fine. Great boozer in fact, though typical West of Scotland gantry with a great lack of malts made young Caley Stan a bit grumpy.

Went down the front to try to get Russell's jersey, he took it off to reveal a t-shirt with 'thank you' . Unfortunately for me he was too busy using the shirt to wipe his eyes.

Back in August, when the tims were chanting 'Argentina' at TB and the home end responded with 'Thierry Henry'

Thanks for posting

PM'd you TSNY.

Yes, top bloke, whose clairvoyant gifts saw that following ICT had more potential than following Queen's Park :biggrin:

Yeah he sort of passed it into the net from the edge of the box. I'm wondering if that's the same day Fetai missed a sitter.

There's a free packet of Smarties in every issue.

Standout performance against the tims at darkheid in the league cup when we lost 4-2. Scored the first in a 4-1 humping at Livi when they were going down. A cheeky wee curler at Brechin. Giving the fans his time and posing for photies and signing autographs last year after we won the league.
