Perhaps it read better in Lithuanian ??? or maybe it was Johndo who translated it ??? In fact, have Vlad and Johndo ever been seen in the same location at the same time ??? If this wasn't on an official website I would think someone was taking the ****

According to poltran.com it means this :010: :010: "Though both (both of) matches of cups of premier league will give arthur Boruc only though partial answer on it, as it is prepared team feckin Cellic tawts, it is necessary to remember it, that next matches were as (serve) selection check also Zurawski tosser. So, it is proper to observe , that ( jedenastkę if bad nothing in matches with (from) ŁKS and plotsk in first league match with (from) vistula not happen ) see most probably Tattie Muncher Cracovią.

Interesting to note that the Highland News thinks Richard is going to change sports by signing for the Maple Leafs (Ice Hockey) as opposed to Toronto FC (football ... a.k.a. 'soccer') ........ * Christie denied that full-back Richard Hastings is set for a possible return to Canada. Reports suggested on Monday that Toronto Maple Leaf were keen to take the ICT ace back to his native country, but the club insists he will continue contract talks with director of football Graeme Bennett next week.

This is for information only (hence the reason it is locked from replies). There is already a thread discussing ticket prices etc elsewhere on the main board.... It seems that this weekend's match is not yet a sellout. There are still a few tickets available in the Main stand (mostly in uncovered section) and also in the North stand. Prices: North and Main Stand uncovered Adult £22, Concession £17. Main stand £27 and £22.

The scary thing is that there was a regular TV show over here featuring a comedian called Rick Mercer called 'this hour has 22 minutes' and it had a segment on it called "Talking to Americans" where he does the same as you see in that clip ....... His biggest 'coup' was getting to talk to then presidential candidate George Bush on the campaign trail where he said that "Prime Minister Jean Poutine" had endorsed him for president. Dubya showed off his knowledge of the world and thanked "Prime Minister Poutine" on camera. For the record, the Prime Minister was called Jean Chretien and Poutine is a popular food which is best described as chips with gravy and melted cheese ...... Some more dumb things from the show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Americans

The original story came off the newswires from the Daily Express as a final paragraph to another article. I havent been able to find the article online as the Scottish Express doesnt seem to have an online presence but the article itself is genuine. The content of course could very well be newspaper speculation hence the posting in the 'rumour mill'.

To be honest, no-one really knows (yet) .... Toronto last had an MLS team more than 25 years ago (the Toronto Blizzard) and many users on that site are harking back to the good old days !!! .... A fair proportion were also Toronto Lynx fans and that is more on a par with the Highland League. Without having seen a game, from what I hear, I think the MLS would be on a par with the SPL ..... the season starts in about 9-10 weeks so ask me again in 3-4 months and i can give you an honest answer :004: I must admit though, I am looking forward to it ... a decent level of football in an accessible location with all the games being played either in the evening or on saturdays/sundays ...... the few times I went to see the Lynx it was a major expedition as they were based in the middle of nowhere and were not only rank rotten but also had really weird kick-off times ... like 12:45pm on a tuesday and stuff like that

Not guilty :015: :015: The newsfeed that the Toronto guy quoted came from the UK Daily express - its not in the papers here (yet). I am not sure of the exact rules as they are pretty complicated but bottom line is that Toronto have to have a certain number of Canadians in their team/squad and a decent player who is Canadian, out of contract soon, and playing in the team manager's (Mo Johnston) home country is always going to be linked to the club. I have two things I see as a barrier to him coming here (other than the thought of me in the stands) .... firstly, Richard was born in British Columbia which is about the same distance west of Toronto as Toronto is from Inverness so its not exactly "coming home" !!! and secondly, although he is "Canadian" we all know he is only Canadian by birth and in reality is far more Scottish/Invernessian than he is Canadian. The biggest draw for Richard may be if he wants a final crack at getting into the Canadian International squad ? Its far more likely that a Canadian playing for Toronto will be selected than one who is playing in the SPL. The buzz about the new team is pretty big over here - partly because the team is owned by a company who also own other sports teams in the city and know how to do their marketing and also because of the whole Beckham to L.A. Galaxy and potentially making his debut in Toronto scenario. Whatever he decides, I hope it is the right decision. I will cheer him from afar if he continues to play for ICT and I will support him from the stands if he makes Toronto his home.

If Hart is free of injury, then at worst he should perhaps be on the bench as he is undoubtedly not match fit and this is not a game where you put players in the starting lineup to increase their match fitness !!! I will defer to those who have seen him play this season, but listening on the radio when he has made appearances from the bench he has certainly been in the thick of the action and commentators have said his contributions have been excellent. Much like Ian Black gave the side a lift on Saturday when he came on, Richie seemed to do the same in at least a couple of games earlier in the season. At the end of the day, CC will pick a side that he thinks will win the game, regardless of what we think or say. I think we are likely to see only 1 change with Black coming in at the expense of Duncan and the forward line remaining unchanged. However, I would prefer to see HC's 4-5-1 with Duncan remaining in the side, or if we must play 4-4-2 then swap Rory for McSwegan. I dont feel particularly happy slagging off Rory but a striker's job is to score goals and 2 in 18 appearances this season or 3 in 36 all time is not a happy stat.

maybe not injured, but fighting his way back to fitness after injury is he not ?

OK - Chibber is going to need the emergency gates opened so he can get in on Sunday - I agree with his selection too. We are somewhat limited in our selection options because of injuries but a 4-5-1 formation would allow Black to get back in at the expense of Rory and hopefully make the midfield solid and creative. It would mean that Bayne would have to do a lot of work, but he does that every week anyway. I think Black has paid the penalty for his petulance. He has come on as a sub in each of his last three appearances without picking up any bookings. He has even shown restraint when the opposition tried to get a reaction out of him in two of these games so perhaps the penny may be dropping. I think we would all agree that a creative Ian Black showing controlled aggression on the park is a tremendous asset. Its a shame that Hart is still injured, McSwegan isnt fully fit and Paatelainen is cup-tied or I might have made a slightly different suggestion .... and if both Dargs and Denzil were fit I think most of us would have them in for Sunday

Absolutely agree, there is nothing like being there - however, when the same player is mentioned in commentary half a dozen times as missing a shot or misplacing a pass, then you dont have to be Einstein to work out he his having a stinker .......

Agree with several comments in this thread ...... from listening to the full game on radio yesterday, here are my comments on what Kheredine Idessane and Willie Young had to say. Goalkeeping: Mike seemed to do pretty well - commentators gave him several :021: Defence: The whole defence was pretty anonymous. I dont think Dods or Munro were mentioned during the game (so therefore didnt do too much wrong either), but Tokely took a bit of stick for falling over like a sack of spuds a couple of times and the 'hoarding challenge' which Willie Young did say was fair. Only Hastings was commented on positively a few times. Midfield: Duncan was the main man singled out - how many times was it mentioned that he ****ed up a pass !!! Rankin was also mentioned negatively (not as good as normal) and both Royston and Barry were anonymous in the coverage. Attack: It was said that Bayne works hard but my own feeling is that he needs someone more experienced to play alongside. McAllister was gash and the commentary team wasted no time in highlighting several blown opportunities where he could and should have scored. On the plus side, the commentary team were very positive about both Markus and Blackie when they came on as they did seem to have a huge positive effect on how we were playing. As an "armchair manager" I would say that Black needs to come back into the side and that Paatelainen has also shown enough in the short spells he has had, to be given a run-out. Its unfortunate that he is cup-tied for next weeks game as I would have had him on from the start. I would also say that Rory needs to take a step back down for now .... he showed against Celtic that he can do it, but both before and since then he has looked disinterested or incapable. Whether that means we go with McSwegan up front or maybe use Morgan / Paatelainen / Zander on the wings and shove Barry up front who knows, but I am afraid that Rory just cannot cut it at the moment and we would be as well playing 4-5-1 than 4-4-1 + Rory.

can we get back on topic on here please. if you want to wind each other up or take the piss do it somewhere else - like on private messaging or the AG forum.

Actually, we could if we wanted to. Clubs have global rights to all their own footage and can show highlights packages, broadcast audio etc etc etc just by following the guidelines. The guidelines are pretty straightforward, and surprisingly enough dont have a lot of red tape involved ... they go something like this ..... Clubs have the right to use footage from all their SPL matches (both home and away) online. SPL Rules and UEFA Statutes govern when, and in what territories, moving pictures from SPL matches can be broadcast. If a game has been covered live by Setanta in the UK and Ireland then Clubs can exploit on New Media platforms (internet or mobile) audio-visual coverage (entire match or highlights) of SPL matches in which they are involved after midnight on the day that the game is played. If a game has not been covered live by Setanta in the UK and Ireland then Clubs can exploit on New Media platforms audio-visual coverage (entire match or highlights) of SPL matches in which they are involved after 10pm on the day that the game is played. Clubs should also ensure that no transmissions of moving pictures take place within another territory during its ‘blocked hours’. The latest list of UEFA’s ‘blocked hours’ can be found on www.uefa.com. (NOTE: 2:45 - 5:15 is the blackout period for England and Scotland) Bottom line, if the club wanted to, or found there was enough demand it COULD broadcast live audio globally. It could broadcast live video outside the UK (subject to UEFA blackout compliance) and it could show highlights or the full video of each game after 10pm or midnight depending on whether the match had been shown live on Setanta or not. You can usually tell when a club is controlling its own media - it tends to mention on BBC website that they cant broadcast that game outside the UK !!! The whole audio/video broadcasting arena (for those of us outside the UK) needs to be looked at because its a complete mess ..... I believe the SPL are looking for ways to develop non-domestic interest in the SPL, well one of the first ways would be to sort out the non-domestic broadcasting .....

its for next season so wouldnt expect it to be available for a few months yet ..... I would guess that the club had to release details early so they could try to gather the 1000 names for the commemorative version.

Cant see there being any legal reason for not publishing it on the website. The only reason there might be would be any potential copyright infringement. However, as the copyright holders of this site - myself and Caley D - have no objections then it must be something else. Would like to see them add it either in the letters section or in the sports section but can see why they dont add it to sports as it is not 'news', its 'opinion'.

Try sending YOMPA a personal message - he is in that neck of the woods ... not Ayr, but close-by

if you enter academy street, inverness, gb and inverness airport, gb into google maps as from/to you get one ROUTE (not the castle stuart one) but if you do academy street, inverness, gb and castle stuart, inverness, gb as the from/to and then add inverness airport, gb as an additional destination you get LG's ROUTE

Here's a 'shot' of a CCD-TRV238

Shamelessly stole this topic from Pie & Bovril ...... (it was started by RiG after all !!) Who are the opposition's Key Players ? Whose name on the team sheet makes you think "oh $%#* !!" ? Aberdeen - should be Anderson but Lovell has done us twice in two games so I'll go for him !!! Celtic - Vennegoor of Hesselink / Nakamura Dundee Utd - Robson Dunfermline - Crawford if anyone Falkirk - Latapy Hearts - no-one - the team sheet is always a surprise, ok go on then, Craig Gordon. Hibs - Sproule Kilmarnock - Naismith Motherwell - McDonald Rangers - Boyd St Mirren - Lappin
