IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

A very good read about the Highland Clearances.

grasping at straws also clutching at straws : trying to find reasons to feel hopeful about a bad situation.

To be honest, I am still reeling from this season and all the garbage that is taking place at the moment. The simple, bottom line is that we really have to sort our own house first before looking - and comparing with others - I suppose that things can only get better ?

I sometimes wish that my second sight was not so powerful. It looks like the "master plan" may have been to offload Rosscoe to free up the spondoolachs to offer Johnny and improved deal. The responsible muppets have now probably ended up losing them both. Rangers are going to have a stronger squad than us at this rate !!

As expected - the new look ICT appear to have a penchant for dumping loyal, strong personalities - smacks of narcissism !! And dare I dare to say it but the hesitation being made by many to resign contracts - irrespective of the reasons provided - does tend to suggest that their is unrest.

Any post match comment by Terry Butcher as it fair cheered me up.

It has never been the same since the merger.

He may as well be working for a local "Iceland" as he would probably get more exercise.

Apparently there is a Davie Proctor and Johnny Hayes headed your way.

At the present time Terry Butcher has a bit of a gap to reach the denominationof legend - at the moment he is a leg end.

I am reliably informed that the quote was attributed to Ross Tokely.

I suppose that we are more like Terry and June than Terry and Mo.

**** this Snowy - we have more chance of winning BGT than getting a feckin regular game here.

What "miscommunication"? the lad's been released. it happens at every football club in the land without hand wringing knicker wetters like you bleating on about misery. Get a life. I was being serious. I applaud the club for the manner in which they quelled the rumours about Gavin Morrison. A more detailed statement would have acted in a similar manner for this and say Tokely and even Proctor. They made an admirable precedence but havent followed it up. Of course peeple are being released all the time as I suspect you have too.

Can you tell who is who in this CTO gallery piccie ?

Good point there Bucket - and perhaps there could be a deeper meaning to CB's response - in that the whole process became a bit like unravelling a Rubik cube, involved Action men on both sides of the divide - and was probably decided by a group of Bennies. Discuss.

Oh please gawd - when officially can this season end ?

Personally I feel that the merger had a lot to do with this. Discuss.

ET TU BRUTE

I am liking the Ross County, the Dougal and support my good friend Sergei Rachmaninoff and the manner in which he dealt with the Highland revolution

Agree to a certain point - and there is evidently a fair degree of contradiction in the statement. My "beef" is that this should really have been sorted out weeks ago and allowed Rosscoe to say a "farewell" which may well have added quite a few on to the Hibee attendance. What I dont understand is why Rosscoe declared this on the eve of the final game. It could be that he is playing mind games but it could also be projected anger at being told that he may be utilised more as a sqaud player next year. Now I can appreciate that Rosscoe - nay nobody - can have that sort of gaurantee but he appears to be asking to be given a chance to prove himself. It could well be another clash of personalities and a "power" struggle which Rosscoe will never win - but to make such a public declaration is quite unbelievable and it is a bit like the final war words of a dying soldier. Just what this season needed to end with !!

ADIÓS ROMAN Por qué perder las esperanzas de volverse a ver, por qué perder las esperanzas si hay tanto querer. No es más que un hasta luego, no es más que un breve adiós, muy pronto, junto al fuego, nos reuniremos. Con nuestras manos enlazadas en torno al calor, formemos esta noche un gran círculo de amor. Pues el Señor que nos protege y nos va a bendecir seguro que otro día

Camaraderie - buying seperate season tickets - going away to support each other : I see a clinic full of cynics Who want to twist the peoples' wrist They're watching every move we make We're all included on the list The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Was it not so gratifying that there was such a prompt official response to the alleged Morrison rumour ?

Forgive me but I really fail to see what the bait is here Or perhaps this is the beginning of another boring attempt to influence another merger debate or perhaps it is an attempt to highlight the rise of your beloved gypsy attachment.
