IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I was told that Charlie Bannerman has also been seen in Inverness.

🙄

Unfortunately we would probably never have won anything with a team of Scots far less Highlanders. It is good to be able to sing "He's one of our own" to at least a couple of them. Only problem is that if they shine with us they are quickly swooped on by a large number of better financed predators. My problem has always been with the signing of evident mercenaries.

How many applications were accepted ?

Now I would agree that rules are rules and deadlines are deadlines but I feel that CJT have "boobed" yet again. Just received the following e-mail - "The EMC have reviewed all nominations and there are 3 late submissions. There will be space to co opt others so the late submissions will be given to the new board who will consider the options". Personally I am not overly bothered as I applied to show support and offer assistance from afar - so I can wait. But I NEVER received ANY correspondence from CJT and the first that I knew of the application form and the very, very short deadline was Caley D's post. But it is sad that the two others cant just be considered from the off.

As Harry S Truman once said to me "Johndo, if you cant stand the heat stay out of the kitchen" and then the man from Everest who was drinking with us added "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". And then this woman sitting at the bar beside us - who I later learnt was a certain J.M Richards butted in with "Boys if it happened to me I would say - If you want to call it quits, just tell me. Man up and say it to my face. Don’t just skulk around" Anyway I am reliably informed that a trimmed down Caley D has turned to CB for jogging advice and they have been out running together as virtual harriers.

Nairn has a better beach.

9 points from the first three games would be my initial wish - Falkirk away then Ayr and Alloa at the Dump. Very do-able ?

If the tie does come off we will have to be typecast and refer to them as Mutton United ?

Well I finally got it in - albeit 2 hours and 3 minutes late !! Perhaps that may debar me ?? Not sure what role I can provide from afar but at least I felt that I had to make the offer. So who else has applied ?? Or are we into confidentiality and political correctness ?

Cheers Laura xx

😟 One more please !!!

Killie were good for the music as well - Loved their rendition of the Family Ness for us

I have no idea who are CJT members or who aren't - Charlie Bannerman has offered to be my nominee but I think that he may be debarred from voting. Please message me if I can put you down as a nominee. Please don't overheat my computer though 😁

We have 2 shillings and five pence left.

Wrong answer but would have been correct two years ago.

Robbo OUT - WARREN in ?

Politics v Reality ?

Close ?

Of course they baled us out financially and undoubtedly overspent. But they did eventually get carried away and undoubtedly encouraged by Messrs Butcher and Hughes. Unfortunately their financial management did not match their bankrolling expertise. I am referring to the mess that followed the Cup Final. As above for sentence uno - Great and accurate comment by Robbo in regard to the esteemed Gary Warren. Reading between the lines Gary has undoubted ability (but not capability anymore), his commitment is 100% and always has been (and undoubtedly will continue to be whatever he will choose to do) and his leadership skills have been there for all to see. Many people talk about the criteria for a club legend - and IMHO Gary is as close as you can get. But (undoubtedly for the evidently best possible reasons) Robbo did not add that his fitness and speed have diminished (as happens to all aging people) and he can no longer be guaranteed a first team place. Sitting on the bench and not playing would be the worst possible scenario for Gary. Perhaps career advice would be to get a PE job, carry on part time at ICT and look at coaching certificates. And I am not kidding when I suggest that an ICT manager of the future will be Mr Gary Warren.

Sorry - Hearts away is a test and a good day out. And most are salivating about the prospect of Cove away ?

Fer fecks sake - Pre season friendlies are glorified training sessions. When we went to Yeovil, Bristol and Aldershot the games were mince. The atmosphere off the pitch fer the away support was brilliant. And the Betfred Cup has well and truly fecked that up. Those pre-season games of olde sucked up the finances and did feck all for the start of the REAL season.
