The Mantis

Especially that time he came on as a second half sub at Gayfield and got sent off 3 mins later.....

Disappointing choice. Not enough seethe factor for my liking. Missing Deek already.

Nae trains? That's a bummer. I can actually make Sunday but not Saturday.

The alcohol ban happened after the ugly sisters rioted at the 1980 Cup Final. However OF games were segregated long before that.

Are you saying you know that this is the rule at all clubs (apart from Cownty of course)? With all the matchday duties that people have at clubs I can't see the motivation for providing anything but an estimate with 10 mins left because fans expect it. It also adds a level of difficulty in the case of our club as we don't have a separate gate for STs so somebody would need to do a few (admittedly fairly simple) sums. There's also the legendary situation in Scottish Cup matches where everybody, yes probably everybody, rips off the away club by underannouncing the attendance, although with computerised turnstiles I'm not 100% sure how they get away with it.

They're missing him already

Agreed. There was also the time he was barged to the ground by Jamie Hammill. Can we get some video clips please, just for old times sake? A Derek Adams tribute compilation, if you like. You really mean this though, don't you http://meemsy.com/v/5592

So I beat their announcement by 2 minutes then! Yeah, I kind of meant that but never made it clear:whistle:

I think I know the place you mean.....

Wow, club statement at 10.06

That's a bummer, I'll be abroad. Was looking forward to a repeat of the 2012 party.......

Nah. Buckie Thistle.

Tavares. Heaven must be missing an angel.

I see Inverness City have been drawn away to Bonnyrigg Rose in the first round of the Scottish Junior Cup. The Rose are my local junior side, 1 mile away while Whitehill are my local seniors, 1 mile in the other direction.......

Many moons ago, went down to Annan to see Whitehill crush St Cuthberts Wanderers 5-0 in the Final of the South Q-Cup. That was back when the four semi-finalists went into the Cup proper and Saints had already been drawn to play Cownty at Dingwall. Bobby Wilson was there spying on them and at the end I said to him 'you'll only need 9 men against that lot!' He just laughed but apparently he had to big them up in case his players went on the lash on the Friday night. I think it was 11-0 after being 9-0 at half time. Cownty then went on to beat Forfar 4-0 away which probably went a long way towards getting them into the League, then lost 2-0 at Alloa, which I'm sure I popped along to in midweek. As for Whitehill, they got a 3-3 draw at Stranraer after being 3-1 up with 10 mins to play, before losing the replay 4-0, but playing over an hour with 10 men.

Not terribly chuffed this year as the 2nd round clashes with the Highland Derby

Good point. Never noticed Cownty had got Stranraer again. Great seethe potential there:lol:

I hope they did him for cruelty to the horse

Pele was God though. Adams is an anchovy.

I heard the interview with Jim Spence where Deek was asked 3 questions and managed to say 'y'know' 16 times. This is an average of 5.33 'y'know's per question and I wonder whether Deek or any other manager will manage to beat this during the season. I will be trying to monitor this week by week but any help is welcome, y'know? Maybe a 'y'know' trophy should be put up for this and it would give the Cownty fans something to brighten up their season.

The BBC can be miles behind when it comes to the HFL or LL. Even for the SPL (I'm still calling it that for the time being) twitter is far quicker than the BBC.

Surely Celtic will complain about the two penalties in the first leg anyway though, sounds like a conspiracy.

Through on away goals. Those penalty misses were costly after all.
