North Korea Qualify For World Cup
Maybe if they put on a decent show it will bring them back to the table of civilised nations. Alternately, maybe if they get a dodgy penalty against them, they will unleash a nuclear terror!

Fixtures
Also interesting the disparity between newspapers and websites. Print really is dead.

Lee Cox signing for ICT
"Love" in Inverness?...because all the girls are gorgeous! Unlike Leicester which, as everyone knows is the cutting edge of all that is culturally significant and happening. I love that, I love being seen as hicksville.

Malky Thomson
That is telling. I heard also that he was a useless and disliked loudmouth. I'll be watching Chesters' career with interest, if and when.

England Look The Business
Its a lot better than Aviemore. Beautiful scenery, good roads that get cleared in the winter, friendly people, even found a bar done out in tartan, and in the winter brilliant snow and night life and was really cheap when I was there. The local food is a mixture of French and Spanish(Catalan). Snails and Quails night was excellent. I didnt mean to be demeaning. We had a great few days walking, but the city did nothing for me, except it was the only place I've ever been where they actually talk to you in two languages. French and Spanish, one after the other, then move onto English when they find out your native tongue.

Looking Outside The Box....(merged)
I have just returned from a soujourn in Ghana, and can testify that a) They are football daft. Chelsea is current fave for the Essien connection, but I think they change according to who has the highest profile Ghanaian player. B) Other than tribal languages, English is the national language of Ghana. c) There is not one of them, who would not change the relaxed life, plentiful food, cheap beer, beautiful women and warm climate of Ghana to come to live and work in Inverness. d) There are gangsters everywhere, but Ghana is no Nigerian/Somali There are bounce games everywhere and a competitive league across the country, which, though riddled with curruptions till offers some good football. I met a chap who told me he was a Hearts fan, becaouse of the Kingston connection, and also told me that Motherwell and Dundee Utd also had Ghanaian players. News to me. Also met an ICT fan, who saw us on Setanta, and always followed our results on the net. Are you there? I would be delighted to scout, on my next trip.

Lee Cox signing for ICT
Good to see we have signed someone new. I just hope that he is worth it and that we aren't soon shouting for him to be put up for transfer ..."Get Cox out!"

England Look The Business
Andorra is not so much a pub as a shopping mall, surrounded by mountains.

Setanta (merged)
Worrying.... Not really considering we will be depending on Setanta for none of our income for at least the next year. I would think that this is the best way of looking at it. We were doing our sums without the help of Setanta, now other clubs are as well. Except they are in a league above us. Selfishly, the "lucky escape" story is the right one here.

New Currency Unit
No, but since I posted the original I've also become aware of another very large currency unit... the HPE (Heathmount Pint Equivalent). Since the Heathmount installed its Peroni tap, the HPE more or less seems to have drifted towards parity with the Kaka. Over on the other side of the river the standard currency is the CCVL (Caley Club Vodka Lake). 1 HPE = 25 CCVL. School lunch today by the way (without any HPs or CCVs of course) cost me 0.05 microKakas (uKk) How does that figure against the old Romanian currency, the Marius (LFB)?

Is Mahadjuks a Catholic? Is Morais? Just wondering, like.

Welcome To Dingwall
Remember your jabs for next season!

Give Us Some News..... Anything!
I am hoping that a management team with a history as varied and spread-out as TerrynJune will look a little further than Scoatland for replacements. County have a history of taking our rejects, but it may be that our taking their rising stars will no longer be first choice. Kinda worrying though, with County and Stags, doing a supermarket dash.

Ask Butcher A Question.
1. How many roads must a man walk down, Terry, before you can call him a man? (And don't say the answer, gordyfromsneck, is blowing in the wind, cos that just shows your not trying.) 2. Your granny's cooking when you were a child. Heaven or hell?

Save Stirling Albion
So that's it started then. Next?

Mixu Resigns!
And Calderballs to come here? That would be interesting... I can't stand the guy but you can't argue with his track record. No. WGS has expresssed an interest in this post. I have it on good authority from a board member.

Filipe Morais
We will not, of course be an SPl club next season, but starting as promotion favourites must gaurantee us some cherry-picking privileges amongst other clubs, including our Div 1 rivals. I would expect TnJ to use English connections to bring in some exciting new talents to the Scottish game. Looking forward to it.

Highlights Of The Season
The first home win after TerrynJune took over. Killie I think. I just remember there being a sense of relief and optimism. Yeah, I know.

Back To The Top Policy?
As opposed to a consolidate-and-build policy, which was what we had last time we were shifted to Div 1. It is a risky strategy, but, by gosh, it might just work.
-
Back To The Top Policy?
I think this is wise and do-able. As has been stated elsewhere, never has a team been relegated on so many points, never so good a side. The more that Terry has to spend, and he will spend wisely, the better. But lets not go bankrupt eh? Top six, 10/11!
-
Calderwood gone
Yes, indeed. Fun times ahead in Seagull Central.

Things You Wish You Never Said
When the season started I recall myself saying to Mr Biro..."I think we will surprise a lot of folk this season". I meant it in a good way, but was really trying to cover up my shock at Brewster leaving us with no recognised strikers. This was his first and most fatal mistake.

Friendlies
As of now, there will be no such thing as a friendly football match.

Smell The Feckin Coffee
hahaha div 2 beckons They are comitted to TnJ for at least another 12 months, is that not so. Otherwise, I think the whole SPL thing was just some sharks thinking that they could make some quick bucks, by gambling and failing miserably...per Livi and Gretna. The details will never be revealled, but if so, they shoud hang their heads in shame for the setback they have put the proud City of Sneck through, they should be forced to resign.

Anyone Else Excited?
I have just wet myself. I tried to get to the toilet in time but couldnt.
