Scarlet Pimple

Attendance is up over recent games is it not? Which is a positive sign .. If the team continues like this surely the fans will flood back. What more could they possibly want ? Judging from the text commentary it seems asif Hibs were playing the offside trap steadily throughout the game. Bad move--indicates uncertainty and fear. Foran seems to have been in the thick of it... in more ways than one. What a player he is and what an asset to ICT he has turned out to be. Between the two cup games against Ross County the club should benefit by a financial boost of about L100,000 . Is that correct? If so, then that wil pay for all the operations that they have paid for over the past months which led to the $100,000 financial shortfall in the recently-divulged accounts. Now ---back on an even keel?

Well, he's a vigur-ous player though. Corny?

Doncaster also opined thet "we are aware of the fans' wish to redistribute income more equitably" or words to that effect. If all the income was distributed more equally then the need for clubs to nearly bankrupt themselves trying to comply with the rules would change and there would be a resurgence of spirit within all of these clubs, some of which have a reputation as past greats and have been in existence for a very long time. e.g East Fife--can you imagine them coping with the extra financial demands imposed by these rules when their average gate is 500 or so? Whether that will ever happen is definitley questionable I think. But if he is aware of this yearning why is there no mention of it in this draft of future plans--apparently? Without this the statement is relatively meaningless.

Vigurs--interesting name. Is it Norwegian or what? Mantis, if County try to hang on to their Players and ICT make a bid for one of them, do you think it might end up as the Battle of Brittain?

Comparing him to Darren Dodds and he can pass the ball out of defence? Wow,,,must be some player.....

It must be the child in me but my vision refuses to contemplate defeat or loss until forced to by achieved reality. Enjoy the moment when it is as good as this and dare to dream. C.mon......

Run circles round the County defence? You probably mean the "getting older" county defence . Run 'em ragged I say . Roberts and Billy interchange and Mr Tokely and Russell Duncan are bound to tire and make mistakes. Remember when Ross headed onto his own bar under pressure and Russell Duncan lost the ball to allow ICTto get their goal. Leave Draper until the County are tiring and then the risk to hi8m willbbe less. ''Just a thought or two. Can't wait though....

Preview sorted and praise graciously accepted. I bow deeply to you both and with reverence. On a run of form like this even a Pimple can excel himself. Currently daddy and Mommy Pimperbnell are wiping me fevered brow. :laugh: :laugh:

No isn't that a fact!

Tickle Terry's tonsils....what else.

Everthing is possible. And why not? Must avoid injuries and keep roaring on and watch the other team's fall and fail. Imagine-- : the League, The Scottish Cup AND the League cup? What kind of an experience would that ? All the Premier League English teams would be begging us to take their players on loan and Terry would be the top Manager of the year in all of Britain.. Heady Stuff. .

Och! Time to forget the last two posts and just CHEEEEEEEEEER! What a day.

Whew! back on track.

No, 'cos when he went to the bank He found his overdraft balance was in the tank And the Bank Manager told him "Just go out and sign so and so To which Adams replied "Jeez, that's a really low blow." .............................To be continued by A.N. Other .........................

When we win the morn I will die an go to heaven and feel reborn. One more big win agin the Dons is on the cards And the title will be in oor pocket and what will be left of THEM will only be shards.

I feel for you and will send my false teeth by priority post - my pet pigeon, Percy, rented out to Canada Post; soon to be DHL (Deutsche Poste). ( The above is a Canadian version of snail mail slightly upgraded at three times the standard postal rate). Just send my secretary your address in the small capsule which you can attach to Percy's leg with the attached paper clip. Don't worry he is very reliable .... Scarlet

I saw the video after the match on the SPL site. Ah wuz gobsmacked , so ah wuz.

The Arsenal Manager wasn't looking at the crowd figures. Hewas looking at the skill and quick thinking of Roberts. Wow!

Well, Dougal, this is a rough and tough site at times and any poster always has the option to leave. Keep a calm seough (is that spelt richt, Charles?) and when you calm down a wee bit you'll realise how much this site means to you. And others. But, believe me: If you leave in a tizzy, soon you will be in a frizzy 'Cos you'll miss the banter, and the chatter From some who are as mad as a hatter.

Renegade--that's my concern also. Psychologically as well he may not be quite the same man because the fear of it breaking down may just temper his desire. When you have been free from serious injury and recover from a relatively minor knock you soon forget the incident but with something as serious as this doubts can linger..

Someone told me that he was the male offspring of Hank Marvin and Julie Andrews, both formerly in the music industry so there might be some truth in the suggestion eh? Mmmmm?

IHE I suggest youse wears yer kilt. Otherwise it will be a sight for sore eyes.

Motherwell always have been a noted "football" team. I remember, when I was standing on the high terraces at Easter Road back in the early "sixties," Motherwell came to town one nice Saturday afternoon and played some lovely flowing stuff and made a mark on my mind as a good footie team. And younger Pimple thought to himself as he walked back down home to Restalrig Terrace , "well, that's a really good football team." Hopefully, this result will be a blip on the horizon but also act as a warning that no team can be taken lightly. Back to businesss at the weekend.!!

That figure, Forza Cale,y was achievable on occasion when Caley and Thistle were in the Highland League. Mind you , in them thar days, an adult could get in the stand for 2 shillings and sixpence--which seemed like a heck of a lot of money to a wee boy like me at that time. Stratospheric actually. Mind you, players could be transferred for pittances--one player decided to go to Elgin for 50 pounds more in his pocket, fer goodness sake.
