Scarlet Pimple

Billy coming back? Strange you should think that Buckett, I was thinking the same thing ?

Hmmmm! Seems to be a smart guy. Diplomatic too. And has very good English fur a furriner,.... like a Canajin,,,eh? Good luck to him and our club..hope they both end up very successful and suitable for each other. We both need that .

He'll be on the bench, doubtless.

And if these guys don't prove up to the task we can always assess them as being a somewhat backward forward line :- Pinky Raif'o Yelram, ably coached by Pinky Nuggett

So long as J H makes sure the lads are in bed early then night before the match then they will have the energy left in the tank to hoist the cup high above their heads. This is an event I am really looking forward to. Even if I have ended the sentence with a preposition, that is my predilection and my prediction.

"In debt" simply means they owe the bank any sum of money. Nothing else. Usually this means the outstanding balance of the loan or loans including accrued interest. If they can't pay the interest, then the bank could foreclose on their security and/or demand repayment of both the Principal sum lent by them plus the accrued interest..... then the borrower is both in debt and in deep trouble. If the terms of the loan repayment are structured by way of a monthly repayment of principal, blended together with the payment of the accrued interest since the last payment of interest was made, then this is usually related to a long term repayment plan. UNLESS the bank has allowed the borrower to pay only the monthly accrued interest without the obligation to repay any part of the principal amount borrowed along with the monthly interest payment. -- in which case they have made sure that the security that they have taken over the borrower's assets is valuable enough to pay out the remaining principal amount of the debt in the event of default of the borrower to repay as agreed . However, the option may be offered to a reputable and valued client to re-finance the debt with another loan on more favourable terms. i.e. to pay-out and replace the first loan with a new one on terms more suited to, or agreeable to, both parties. Otherwise it's likely that the bank will foreclose and sell the assets to allow for them to get their loan repaid. That could mean selling the structures of the park, or the ground on which these structures stand, or both. Assuming, of course, that these assets have been legally assigned to the lender by way of security to cover the possibility of default by the borrower. OR--the bank may call in the loan and, failing repayment in full, they could choose to activate their right to liquidate their security after due notice to the customer of their intentions.(e.g. sell property, a high-end car, bonds or bank balances elsewhere all pledged as security.) Also, the people who have signed Guarantees to the bank against the default of the borrower to fulfill his/their obligation to repay the bank on the terms stated in the loan security documents, may have to pay up. The bank is likely to call in the Guarantors to pay up first, followed by the liquidation of the secured assets of the company to repay the shortfall of what is left owing to the lenders. It's a nasty business. AKA Rangers.

And the steel wool in his linings to scratch his face to activate blood streaming so he can then con the ref again...and again.

Yes, sounds like Mr O'Fere made his O'ferring really count. --a GOAL? What more could you ask of a Newbie on his Dewbie (oops! sorry.... debut)? Welcome to the club. The teams that we assumed would either win, or at least not lose, today did the opposite. What a let0off for us However, the outcomes suited ICT to the tee. We really didn't lose ground that much did we? But, from now on, we have to find the way back to the rhythm of before otherwise the lack of it will condemn us to merely the blues. Summer football would allow us to flourish, not flounder. Long overdue. Let's start a "save the pitches " theme. Crowds would rise too.

Until the gen is proven we have to assume that you are the all-brahan Seer IHE was the assistant to the Brahan Seer in days gone by --he would, like Daddy, always know best.

Any videos to post on this site? He is a right footer so I would have imagined he would either be playing on the right wing or at inside right?

Ciftci is definitely a bad egg and his behavior is decidedly Shifty. I remember some bizarre incident on the touchline with Terry Butcher and him....? The suggestion of "fair play '' will rarely if ever enter his mind. He will not change until someone gives him a real "doing" but for that act the miscreant would suffer a punitive reaction from the beaks and so it will never happen, unless it's done swiftly and silently in a heated match whilst the play is at the other end. Now, if someone were to carry an electronic shock device like the police do .....?. You know, hide a Taser up yer breeks and bump into him accidentally which contact releases an automatic charge to activate the taser, This followed by rolling around on the ground in agony as a neat diversion... I dunno--what else could one do when the authorities will never suspend him "sine die" like Willie Woodburn of the Rangers in days gone by.....

There was a deflection of my erec..ion which put me off my stroke. My mind also went haywire and instead of a girlie I ended up with a bloke. Which, Frank Kelly, made me choke...

If Kink's in the pink then he can impress on the wing. No one will call him a dink and we'll laud his success with a drink. If we don't give him a try then time will fly and Maybe Ross County will buy And then it'll be Kink the Tink and we will have lost the link. I think!

Hearach If I renew my British passport it will cost me hundreds of pounds ! Yep, nothing is reasonablet hese days.

Doofers Dad--as soon as I read your first sentence I gave you a like. What was wrong with the old names? Change for the sake of change isnt it, but nothing else as far as I can see? Full back probably was used to differentiate a Full back from a Half back and, even if that statement is somewhat half-baked, you understand an old Pimple don't you? It's almost as baffling as the cricket terms:-- silly mid-off etc. I think that meant the guy was off his game and when he was on it they called him Silly mid-on. Or when his bat disintegrated on impact the he was derisively called a "silly-billy" (with a small K.).

Charles don't you mean the fifties for Jim Smith and not the sixties?

Yet at least two reporters say that it was a "thrilling match".....?

Never mind where they come from, let's see them play and watch their work ethics. The other players have blossomed under the tutelage of John Hughes so, why not give them a chance to do likewise, if he thinks they have what it takes. I was thinking that looking at the match yesterday will give them a fairly good understanding of what is called-for in the Scottish Premiership and if this gees them up to want to stay then why not give them a trial or two. Encouragement is the way and reaction by way of hard work is the response. Or a good kick up the Irish to see how they react. If they bring out their hankies then,,,,uh, uh! But if they get mad, grit their teeth and then go into a tackle like they mean it to prove what they think they have by way of ability and grit then ...who knows where it will lead.

Wow! Some rather conflicting opinions here. But also some good, insightful posts. Sounds like just one of these days, accompanied by inconsistent reffing. The season is getting on chums and all teams will encounter difficulties as time goes on. Even the best of teams have unaccountable lapses. The pending release of Shinnie may also just have had an unsettling influence on the smooth scrolling of the team's energy, used as they are to working with the same lads time after time--people they know and whose moves they also know. Then again, these things may also prevent complacency creeping in. It's up to John Hughes to step in and show the way. Steady the Buffs and all.

Jim Smith is the brother of Mary Smith who is my sister's best friend from childhood. When I was last over in Inverness in August 2008 it was very rainy and cold and I caught the flu. Mary was visiting my sister and gave me a jacket to wear. Their family used to live in Ross Avenue off Fairfield Road and Jim did emigrate to Canada. He was in Winnipeg but I heard recently that he had moved to Toronto. I did send him an email but never received a reply and as a result if the following information I now do understand why Jim's brother was Russell and I have a feeling that he may also have passed away but my memory is hazy about that. Jim had married Ena Munro, who was in my class at school. Unfortunately, I heard a few months ago that she had passed on through illness. I remember Ena quite well as a very nice, open person. They did have children whom I believe are also living in the Toronto area.

On a more optimistic note.. The definitive answer is NO! Because I would not wish that fate on any team..

Oh Oh! Now we have new threads flipping back to the last one.. It's all the fault of the vision- -conditioning, new, large-key keyboard going crazy all of a sudden. Where is IHE when you need him?

The answer is NO, I would not wish that fate on any club.

I'm rubbing my hands on this one with a semi cruel look in me eye. Why? "Cos this man has something going for him and he sure looks fit enough. What we don't know about him is how much pressure he can take without wilting. I think what he needs is for J H to work him hard, build up his pace and he will finally see that ICT is a great team to be part of. If he has any delusions of grandeur still seeping through his pores it won't be long before he gets all that stuff knocked out of him, especially if he gets a run out in a few games. If their is real mettle in there, the challenge will be enough for him and auld John will get the best out of him. The opace of the games will shake him but that's what he needs . Plus a resting place where he can stay and be needed and wanted. He aint getting any younger is he ...? Yes! OR ................?
