The Mantis

Billy Mckay.

He used to be alright, but now he’s shite?

I'm assuming that was Lewis Nicolson?

Frews is a great pub but it will probably get rammed before kickoff.

The good news is he can have Saturday off…

Well known ferry port getting upgraded right now? I’ve been past many times too but I’ve never noticed the tower

My missus arranged for us to be in Lewis this week which I only found out the other day so sadly I will not be attending this event, but I will remember to wave my shoe around at full time.

Stay up past your bedtime to see Billy’s 2 strikes ️️

Still very pished. Love his club. ICT and the Scottish Cup

Just over 200 tickets sold by the looks of things. Not one of our classic Cup awaydays but we’ll probably make more noise than Livi anyway.

I’m surprised that anybody still listens to Dodds’ ramblings.

It’s hard to disagree with any of that, but here’s the timeline that’s stuck in my brain, and if there’s any of it needing corrected, fairy nuff: DUFC approach ICT in October Chairman refuses permission Yogi takes the huff Yogi and the board grudgingly coexist for a spell Yogi comes out of the huff long enough to sign a new (4 year?) contract Yogi re-enters the huff and parts company at season’s end, apparently on ‘gardening leave’ and full pay until finding a job at Raith, approx 9 months later The board appoints Richie for 2016-17 (was he actually the fans’ choice and that of the board, or were we that short of cash that we couldn’t advertise the job, due to paying off Yogi, and attract a high calibre of applicant, being an established premier club?) The rest is, ehh, history. We know Yogi doesn’t stick around, as you say, but all the more reason to move him on (with compensation) while in a position of strength. Further to all that, to those of us who went to Alloa in the LC where we went out to a team 2 levels lower, under Richie, it was obvious that we were in trouble, and that was August 9th. Certain others, notably CB, assured us that this wasn’t in fact the worst result in our history, as we had lost heavily before to the likes of Morton and Airdrie. But these were just blips which occasionally happened, even when we had a good side under Pele. We were effectively relegated as early as January 31 as anybody who was at the six-pointer in midweek against Hamilton will tell you.

Or even more specifically, the following October when Kenny Cameron refused permission for Yogi to speak to DUFC. This was meant as a show of strength but with hindsight was a disaster.

Maybe he wasn’t there, it was a school night

Let me see, 6 more shots…

Is it Monday?

Up to a point, yes, but they had such a Billy big baws attitude last year about their support that we all deserve a couple of years off

Pretty sure it would be the job of the club secretary rather than the manager.

Hearing stories about Queens fielding an ineligible player… sounds like we were outclassed though.

We heard a rumour that there was a particular beer in the Exchequer that acted as a hair restorer. However, despite extensive research, we were unable to find it.

Maybe everybody's at the game, there's no signal in Fife anyway But yes, we were bad and Billy got a soft goal to maintain the 99 year unbeaten record.

Half price train tickets atm, gerrintaethum!

I think this is Cupar…

#61 was very comprehensive, saw me through a car journey yesterday and the train today p.s. the site doesn’t seem to be displaying emojis for me atm, just a blank square, so [applause] [applause /]

They couldn’t cope with Dan MacKay or Samuels in the other cup, and had to kick seven shades of shyte out of Allardice, but I’d imagine we’ll be up against it this time. Bring it on though (Queens permitting).
