mainstander

You've got to be kidding??? No hes not kidding! I heard it too on the BBC Highland news at 1 oclock. It said he'd had minor surgery and would be out for 3 weeks. TB said he hoped to have him back then. Early next month i think it said.

Which one ? Bennett or Sutherland So let me get this right. Your saying that Grant Munro calls his feet "Bennett" and "Sutherland"?

I was sure Id heard this before so I checked back in the archaive and theres a whole thread called NEW CAPTAIN started by SORTED away back on May 10th with the following post:- Apologies if this is elsewhere but heard Charles on the radio this morning saying we have a new captain for next season. Granty is being replaced by Richie Foran. Thoughts?

What makes you so sure? From what I heard on BBC Highland yesterday morning hes been talking serously to Elgin but this is by no means a done deal. It would depend on Elgin comeing up with a realistic package for Bazza. Clach were also interested but Im sure Barry would want to stay in the SFL if he could.

So what about the North Korean team? Where are they now? Salt mine? Labour Camp? Guineapigs for nuclear testing? .... whilst the North Korean people are being told that their Glorious Eleven, thanks to the personal inspiration of The Short Arsed Leader, has won the World Cup! Coal mines apparently. Except for the manager who is called Kim-Jong Hun and who will therefor replace walter Smith at Ibrox on July 12th. I think I'd preferr to work in the Korean coal mines!

Great news - and at least well be spared the papers banging on about it every day now!

What a really stupid thread this is and tipical of the football Silly Season that we are now in. A SMALL number of fans in the main stand have been told they MAY need to move and instantly some of the usual suspects are out of the woodwork knocking the club and we get this long thread. Oh well I suppose theirs nothing on the playing side to talk about and after such a long period of success in games, some people must be struggling with withdrawal symtoms due to not having anything to moan about....

my assitant managers brother in law So your the manager as well down there in Grantown are you? A real Local Hero, what? no my assitant manager at work You mean you have time to work and be a manager there as well as to run Strathyjags singlehandedley? :025:

Somebody told me Fort William Clach Rothes and Nairn have all been at the bottom of the Highland League with Rab Mulhern over the years.

Come to think of it is Oor Wullies dad not a dead ringer for Jocky Scott?

Could have been Hamish MacAlpine if they were really desparate!

This is UNBELEIVABLE! Four points clear with the other team's still with up to 27 points to be won and theres people talking about how soon we can win the league and when theyd like to win it. And this is the SECOND thread like it. Can you imagine the delight that other club's fans (especially Countys) will have if ICT dont actually win this and they can wave these threads in your face? This is cockyness in the extreme and its downright daft. Do youre celebrating when and if the title is won. And by the way to put some people out of there misery, acording to my uncle whose very good at maths the 13th IS the earliest that ICT could win the league - BUT JUST DONT GO THERE!

I dont think theyve been a very happy ship for quite a few years now. I dont think theyre board get on all that well with each other and that goes back a few years. Remember when they were done for Teasdale cheating his way to the title. I think that almost tore them apart and theyve also had a lot of hassel about people taking over or not since then.

The police might cancel the game for these reasons or maybe more particuarly because they have more urgent things for there officers to do than to supervise a football match. In any case if the forcast tempratures of about minus 10 for the weekend actually come about, would all that many people really want to come and watch a football match and is it fair to ask players to strip off and go out and play in conditions like that? I could guess that IF the game goes ahead on Saturday the crowd will be very small indeed and might even be bettered on a nicer midweek night. Sometimes I think too much effort is made to put on football matches in poor conditions.

:D :008: :008: Exellent and very sensable post. You could also have added in response to the flawed arguements of skifreak and others that assembling and dispersing a crowd for a fotoball match is a completely different business from sustaining lifes ongoing essentials like visiting the supermarket. Apart from what you might define as "essential", getting 6000 people into a football stadium in 60-90 minutes and getting them all away from it in 30 is a completely different propositioun from going out in random numbers across the weekend and buying food, petrol etc. And thats before you even start to consider Bridge Enders key point that the Emergency Services really do have much more urgent priorities at times like this than policing a football match which will now comfortably go ahead midweek. And as for the "but what about all the people who travelled from the south" response which will inevitibly come back? Well that's just a risk they have to take at this time of year and they could have taken the decision to stay at home.

With only 10 home games to go and 2 losses so far its impossible to emulate that. OK so if we were going to win the league this season with the 70 points we did it with in 2004 we need 43 points more from the 54 that are still on the board. Such as W13 D4 L1 or W14 D1 L3 from 18 games. From the first 18 are on W7 D6 L5. Some people seem to be expecting one hell of a sudden transfermation in the last half of the season, just like that. And 70 points will only be enough if Dundee colaps from the 39 theyve got in the first half to 31 or 30 in the second half. Oh yes AND if QOS, County and Partick also come back to us.

Yes they do if we catch Dundee but not PT, QOS or County. Thats a total of 22 points to catch up on four teams in front of us and two of them also have a game in hand on us.

Remarkably little recognision on this thread that apart from Dundee there are also three other teams to catch. QOS and Partick also have a game in hand and then theres a certain Ross County who are five points clear of us.

Yes I heard it on the BBC news for the Highland's and Island's at 5 too. They were saying the earlyest he could be back was for the derby on January second so his 500th game would be the Motherwell game in the cup at best. Fancy Proctor for RB and Cox to replace him in midfield.

Looks to me as if J7 and B&C (and maybe a few more on here) are simply just guys that have got some kind of really deep down need to seek a way of expressing some kind of fundimental disattisfaction they have with theyre lives. The only unfortunate thing is that they seem to have chosen the medium of football and this club in particular to do it through which is just rotten bad luck for the rest of us on here. IHE might well find you an interesting proffesional study. Why not go away and have a moan instead about the performance of your local bridge club, the service in Tescos or the way your postie slides your mail through your letter box. You would annoy and bore the @rse off a lot less people that way.

Just the Rangers fans thuogh. No way are Celtic as undesireable as Rangers althuogh that is NOT to say that I like a lot of theyre secterian baggage either. So would Celtic have the bottle to go for it alone? Could they bear to be parted from Rangers? After all Celtic arent financial basket cases like the Huns and there fans dont behave nearly so badly. Could you imagine it? Celtic in the EPL raking in the bucks and the semi bankrupt Huns stuck on there own in the SPL? Couldnt see it happening thuogh. They need each other too much. But its a nice thuoght.

Yep. I have been. For instance I see that you're defeat to Rothes yesterday gives them there first win, takes them off the bottom and puts you there instead.

Such as County? Such as Dunfermline?
