The Mantis

I was at the two Lewis select games. So was the guy Kerr whatsisname who used to sell the 50-50 tickets opposite the main stand. And that's about it, never mind your Berwick 17 or whatever :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

I saw that too- 12 page pullout. We're predicted to finish 10th- but so are DUFC. Meanwhile nobody is to finish 7th :017:

When did they move Alford to England?

ICT supporters with 2 cars who are always grumpy because they never get any nookie.

Do they have 'breach of the peace' in England or is that what 'affray' is?

'O' Levels is another one- in Scotland it was always 'O' Grades....

The window cleaner today said he was off to see Billy Joel tonight. Reminded me of another journalist with poor taste who used to hang around here. Probably still does come to think of it :015: :015: :015: :015:

Me sir! Off the top of my head: barrister, vicar, judge, defendant, ach buggerit, my mind's gone a blank.

Lucky for C(o)unty that Dargo never played, imagine what the score would have been. We'd never have heard about 5-1 ever again :015:

The elephant man you mean :015: :015: :015: :015: Maybe he's hiding his face after picking Russeldinho in his best XI after spending all of the last 5 years slagging him off.

Is there something about expats living in that continent Mee? :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

Much as I'd love Dsmac to be right (and Rangers to be shyte also), that's what pre-season is for. Last year the tims lost 5-0 to a poor Artmedia side but still were too good for the others in the SPl. Don't forget the SPL is gash anyway. I have a feeling it might be Rangers this year but I don't give a toss as long as ICT stay up.

You mark my words, Russeldinho needs to be in there somewhere among all the wee fanny-merchants. I see Manny included him anyway, is that so you have somebody to shout at :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

British Legion? What's wrong with the Red Cross?

Yes France were a well-oiled machine tonight. I thought England brought nothing to the tournament. There's teams that you look forward to watching then there's the rest, like Switzerland, Australia, Croatia, USA, Iran, Sweden etc. England were no better than any of them and were very lucky with the draw to get to the last 8.

Feckin spoiled brats need their erse kicked. Get outside and play hide and seek or hopscotch or something.

Enjoying a Lewis sabbath. Unlike my first WCF there in 1978, at least I'll get peace to watch it. Back then, the in-laws were in church, and the soon to be Mrs Mantis made me switch it off or they would feel the telly hot when they got back :015: :015: :015: :015:

You're blind as feck yourself Beastie. Accusing me of being negative :moon05:

Feckin BBC or EBC. Henman gets about 3 mins on the 'national' news on Tuesday. Including interview. Murray gets about 5 secs, including one stroke of his match where you can see that he's leading 1-0 by the scoreboard. Not even a mention of the latest score (he must have just about won the first set by that time). And Murray is rated higher than Our Tim, so what gives?

Did these £ivi feckers really last 5 seasons in the SPL? Ah well, feck the feckers, they're feckin well down with the feckin County now, the feckin feckers.

Hey! What have I done? Anyway under Wattie Smith I think we're on the way up and we'd probably have done as well as *ngl*nd have done at the WC. At least we would have shown a bit of passion.

Aye, Barry's Paw (and maw) have sat amongst us many times at away games and always happy to pass the time of day. At the Motherwell 1-0 cup tie Bobby nearly had the hand shaken off him after Barry's goal. I remember the 1973 League Cup Final well. Wasn't it during the 3-day week when the lights were at half power? The Tims lost that final 4 years in a row, even under Jock Stein.

I think they'll get through to the semi due to a deflected free kick from Beckham. Then in the semi, the Brazil team bus will be in a crash and they'll have to play their 50 year old coaching staff, who play Engerland off the park but lose to a deflected free kick from Beckham. On the morning of the final, the Berlin Wall is rebuilt. The German team is stranded in the East and England start the game without them. The game is goalless up till stoppage time when Beckham scores from a deflected free kick.

How the feck did £ivi get 190 games?

Mantardo!
