IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I suspect that the mailer erse may well be Mike Smith. The prosecution rests..and sits down. :rotflmao:

The SPL are waiting for Gretna to formally announce where they will be playing their home games. I am told that Mileson is offering monies to the SPL to allow Gretna to play in Carlisle.

Flybe end Birmingham City sponsorship 14.04.07 Birmingham City Football Club are searching for new sponsors after airline Flybe announced the end of its four-year association with the club. Flybe extended its initial deal with the Blues in 2005 for a further two years, but has now decided to bring an end to its relationship with the club. Flybe becomes main sponsor of Norwich City FC! 26 April 2006 Flybe, one of Europe’s leading low fares airlines, today announced a new two year sponsorship deal with Coca Cola Championship team Norwich City Football Club. The multi-million pound deal will see Flybe become main club and official shirt sponsor for the next two years, with an option for Flybe to extend beyond the initial term. The deal underlines its long-term commitment to the club and to the East Anglia region. Flybe boosts Exeter City with new sponsorship deal! 13 May 2005 Flybe, one of Europe’s leading low cost carriers and one of Exeter’s largest employers, will announce on Wednesday 4th May the renewal of its shirt sponsorship deal with Exeter City Football Club, as the centenary year for the club draws to a close. The deal reconfirms Flybe’s firm commitment to the Grecians, after two years of solid investment, helping the club go from strength to strength by bringing a much-needed injection of capital and confidence to Exeter City FC. Published: 25 April 2007 12:00 Low cost airline Flybe has struck a three-year sponsorship deal with Southampton Football Club. Flybe will replace Friends Provident as main club and official shirt sponsor at the end of the current season. Under the deal, the airline will have exclusive branding on all first and reserve team strips that will be available from July this year. Flybe boosts Scottish Highlands with new sponsorship deal! 25 May 2005 Flybe, one of Europe’s leading low cost airlines has surprised many in its choice of new sponsors following its withdrawal from Birmingham. It is suggested that the growing trade and custom of Dalcross Airport in Inverness has led to a three year sponsorship deal being offered to the local club, Caledonian Thistle. The deal confirms Flybe’s firm commitment to football clubs in areas where trading and facilities have improved and it is suspected that by bringing a much-needed injection of capital will only serve to consolidate Caledonian Thistle in their SPL status.

What exactly does he do ? What has he achieved since starting ? I am serious as I dont know. :017:

Is it worth e-mailing Mike Smith to see if he can shed any light on this ?

WORLD HATES YOUR GUTS SFA chief signs off with pop at English and steps into political minefield after FIFA outburst By Gavin Berry SFA blazer John McBeth sparked an international storm last night by labelling the English arrogant and telling them: The world hates your guts. McBeth also launched an astonishing attack on other FIFA members - just days before becoming their vice president. The outgoing SFA president laid a minefield under himself with an amazing rant at his new colleagues. He followed his pop at the English by describing new boss Sepp Blatter as a "tricky customer". McBeth labelled poor African and Caribbean football nations greedy. He also claimed some smaller associations want Britain to lose our place at the table of football's governing body - to avenge the days of the British Empire! And he sneered that he "counts his fingers" after shaking hands with some FIFA delegates. The explosive comments come as McBeth, a former chairman of Clyde, prepares to take up the top post at FIFA's Swiss headquarters. Englishman Geoff Thompson and Northern Ireland's Jim Boyce were hot favourites for the job but a power struggle between the two allowed McBeth to nip in and take the position. FIFA have been dogged by allegations of bribery and vote rigging and the Scot has vowed to clean up the game. On his shock win in the ballot, McBeth said: "I was surprised. I said when I came back that I won because I was the least unliked. We'd had the vice presidency for 17 years with David Will so I thought it wouldn't be a Scot. "The two men touting were Geoff Thompson and Jim Boyce. "Unfortunately when you deal with the English it tends to be THEIR game. I try to keep telling them that their notion of themselves is unbelievable. The rest of the world hate their guts. "They made a balls of it and I wandered through the middle." McBeth is leaving the SFA to take up his role as Britain's representative on the FIFA executive committee. It's a seat Jack Warner, president of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), wanted the UK stripped of. FIFA's executive committee voted to keep the set-up by 194, although Warner is still pursuing the three-quarters majority he needs for change. McBeth thinks Warner could be holding a grudge going back HUNDREDS of years. He said: "Mr Warner wants to do away with the British seat. "To a certain extent I can understand what he's saying - it's the old British Empire stuff. "The British have an attitude of fair play but sometimes the Empire didn't play fair and that's coming back on us. For the ones that were under the Empire it's payback time. "By and large the four British countries know what fair play is and when we're stepping out of line. But as soon as you hit Africa it's a slightly different kettle of fish. They're poor nations and want to grab what they can. "I presume the Caribbean is much the same - they just come at it in a different way. "Britain has a traditional seat that nobody else has. We have to try to make use of it and ***** a few consciences." FIFA have been heavily criticised in recent years and they even tried to ban a book - Andrew Jennings' "Foul" - that exposed the organisation. So McBeth is bracing himself before going to work for new boss Blatter (left). He said: "I'd like see if Mr Jennings has it right. "I know two or three of the characters in the book who are reasonable individuals. But I also know two or three whom I'd want to count my fingers after shaking hands with them. "I'm sure my name will appear in places soon. After I got the job there was a piece in Private Eye. "It went into the expenses that I'm about to get - which I knew nothing about. "At that point I thought: 'Do I really want this job?' "The corruption is an aspect that has maybe been cranked up. If I come across corruption I have to expose it. I must try to stay true to my beliefs and hope I don't get seduced. "You have to do your duty, get involved. If I walked away from it I'd never find out. "I know Sepp Blatter and I've dealt with him for 10 years on the International Board. "He's a consummate politician and switches from one language to another. If you question him on the language he was speaking, he says: That's not quite what I meant. I meant something else'. "He's a tricky customer but I suppose anyone in that position has to be because you're dealing with people who have a totally different code of ethics. "David Will had a go at Blatter and was one of the few who survived it. I'm not sure if that was because of the position he held." McBeth will step down as SFA president at Friday's agm. Asked how he will depart, John said: "I thought of Martin Luther King and his 'I Have A Dream' speech. I was thinking of the bit where he says: 'Free At Last'." He might be free of the SFA but McBeth could be ready to walk into a FIFA storm. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

My God :010: Strange men from Dungwall grooming kids at a nursery school. I am so concerned that I contacted the school and here is a photofit illustration of the perpertrator.

I suppose that the main flaw in my suggestion is that we are a consolidated, flourishing SPL outfit whilst Ross County are a bunch of diddies on the feckin slide.

Would it work for us and County ? GRETNA have opened talks to offer a joint season ticket for Motherwell fans next season. The SPL newcomers are preparing for life away from their own Raydale Park as their top-flight games will be staged at Fir Park. Gretna fans face a 160-mile round trip for home matches and there are fears of poor crowds. But the promoted club last night revealed they have started discussions about the possibility of enticing Well fans to watch them when Maurice Malpas' team are on long-distance away trips. Plans are at an eary stage but Gretna chief executive Graeme Muir last night outlined the idea. Muir said: "People want to watch SPL football every week. "Brooks Mileson, myself and Motherwell are trying to figure out how we could do it. "If Motherwell are at Aberdeen, for example, some of the fans who don't want to travel might prefer to watch Gretna play the likes of Hibs.

I am reliably informed that the participants of the Highland Football Academy are going to be divided into two groups which are not age related. I understand that the philosphy is to create a tier system in the same manner as schools or, more simply, like an A team and B team ideal. The upper tier will receive more intense skill and fitness training whereas the lower tier will receive more skill development training. A. Is this fair on the participants to create such a divide ? B. Are we simply creating an elitist breakaway group? C. Is it right that the upper tier all have to wear ICT colours?

Can I introduce the Singing Section forum - and stand up to do it. :001:

Due to my debilatating pre season athletics injury and devotion to the care of the mentally ill I have only managed a mere 14 this season - hang on - make that 13 and 3/5th.

What is a tug doing in the Airforce ?

What about this instead of a fourth stand.

Feck me - the season ends and Brosnon feckin wakes up and posts. League survival will always be the first objective. We must get our cup spirit back though.

Sit down ya feckin hooligans.

FROM BALINTORE TO BUCHAREST I concede to a combined euphoria of exhilaration and positive anticipation on reading of the planned links between ICT and the footballing legends of Eastern Europe. :022: I glowed with pride that our small but developing club are forging links, in the desired and eco-friendly spirit, with our brethren in the European Community. I trembled in admiration that we are proposing to suppport the impoverished and struggling nations of Esatern Europe and providing their yoof with a godsend opportunity to learn and prosper in more salacious enviroments. I simply felt emotionally overwhelmed that a club of our tender years, moving rapidly through its puberty into teenage life, could provide such a mature and compassionate attachment to people less fortunate than our good selves. I am further enthused at the prospect that ICT may well also "mature" well before the legal age of consent and that we are striving to progressively meander, albeit insiduously, up the often tortorous and demanding slopes of success. But, most of all, I am delighted that we are maintaining our traditional links with the ***** population and have even taken our bond to a higher level. :001: From Balintore to Bucharest - from Kiltarlity to Krakow, from Scoot Leithch to Gheorghe Hagi, from Alex Smith to Gheorghe Popescu. :023: We have progressed from our original embodiment and pity for the generalised "tinker" breed of gypsies to the embracement of the more refined and charasmatic Romany nation. No more shall we plunder the now barren fields of Ross-Shire. No more shall we scour and scout the playing fields of northern caravan and camping sites. No more shall we rely on fodder from Victoria Park. Our eyes have been opened to the plentiful orchards of Esatern Europe where our experienced fruit pickers will assist us in seek out and procuring the ripening foootballing fruits and allow the virginal grapse to mature into vintages on the fields of the Longman. HELLO ROMANIA - GOODBYE ROSS-SHIRE HELLO POLAND - GOODBYE PORTMAHOMMACK. :crazy07:

I have just been surfing the net for some info. on the invisble Mr Smith. Found an excerpt from his childhood which makes sense. Smiffy - The naive, somewhat dumb pupil who often confuses genders and nouns (for example, when Teacher calls the register and he is supposed to say 'present', he says 'gift' instead). He can sometimes be very kind and aware of things on an emotional level, similar to an idiot savant, but most of the time he can't even remember what colour the sky is. He has two brothers, Whiffy and Normal Norman. His mother occasionally appears, once as a replacement member of staff when Teacher was absent. Smiffy has even been seen to send his father to school instead of himself. Anyone got anything else?

It was Feb 8th reincanated. :017: :017:
