IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Beating the Jags is an olde Caley habit. As has been alluded to in a number of posts we are better away from the Dump and it is about time that we started putting away teams at home, easing the nervy home support and three points in this type of game are practically essential. I appreciate that young Cammy played his part at Ayr but I really do hope that Ridgers is back. We again have done well but Donaldson and Ridgers are the main men. It will undoubtedly be the same back four. I hope he also persists with the same middle four as they were effective and two holders and two passers is a good combination. Again I suspect that Robbo will go again with Oakley and Austin. Austin may well have saved his place with the Ayr brace. Pity as I liked the look of McCauley.

I would have said that we started slowly and Ayr could have opened the scoring but we went through a "purple parch" for 15-20 minutes were were simply in total control and again three goals help and two defensive blunders. Ayr did come back just before half time and they were by far in the ascendancy in the second half. Until their first goal and our defensive blunder we were relatively holding them. The goal kick started the crowd and the team. I may be biased but I thought that we deserved the three points although I would not have been surprised if we had been pulled back to yet another draw. The last 10 minutes felt like 10 feck in hours. Given our injuries that was some performance. It does not happen too much these days that we make teams suffer for their mistakes and three well taken goals (although the opener was a we bit flukey). And a round of applause for the small but voiciferous away support and raspberries to the Barstewards and banishing the drum from the main Stand. And that is my 4th away game of the season and our fourth win.

Well the highlights say it all but I will slot in a smileymometer later. Young Cammy did well and I thought that his save before half time was the more important stop. At the time I was critical of his Alan Rough impersonation for the second goal but the free kick looks as if it took a mean deflection. Was it poor defending for at least 4 of the 5 goals or was there a sea of divots at the Home End ? And I wish that some of the whinging home fans could have witnessed Polly's performance last night or was he upping his game being watched by the St Jones Town management. Oh and Dougsl - Bairds and the 67 haven't changed a jot.

Well thank feck I decided to go - full report in the morning due to Scotrail, bus replacements and Smirnoff. We really could have wasted them. Please tell me that Austin went off injured. Polly and Tremarco were immense.MacDonald looks nippy but lightweight, McAulay looks promising- Cam ain't there other than a replacement but did nothing wrong.

M6 was down to one lane from Tebay to the Shap. Snow was bad passed Abington services. Glesga is clear and relatively mild. Catching the 18.00 choo-choo from Central. Not one of the usual Central Belters going.

Apart from the two of us - Is anybody else going ??

Whats the craic with Ridgers ? Will we be treated to an OFW comeback ? who do we put in fer Doran ?

But what will I do if the game is called off ?

I am staying in Glesga on Tuesday. Anybody got plans for the game - travelling by train from Glesga ?

4-2-2-1-1

You are joking - They would steal the feckers and sell them off fer scrap.

Drinking Smirnoff at home may help.

Ok - but what songs is he likely to sing on the bus ?

I suspect that there will be more to emerge here cos this is the heavy heavy monster sound, The nutsiest sound around. So if you've come in off the street and you're beginning to feel the heat - Well listen to Buster

Gregor what is his inner leg size compared to other strikers ?

I am trying to figure out whether Friday or Monday night is better to get bladdered watching footie on the box.

Think spondoolicks ?

The clue could be in the surname.

"After two years, this deal is now ready to complete" - Now that as we all know can take some time. It would be expected that Allan has left in the knowledge that everything is in position. The time to cast doubts and a load of flak is if it goes of the radar or doesn't happen.

Some may have interpreted the quote as ""After five months of not being able to put one foot in front of the other, I knew there was definitely something wrong."  Only Feckin Joking

But one night during pre-season, I woke up and just couldn't move my legs. I started to panic a bit and ended up having to go to hospital. They couldn't diagnose what it was. "After five days of not being able to put one foot in front of the other, I knew there was definitely something wrong." 'It could have been fatal' White explains doctors eventually told him that it was a blood infection in his leg that had turned his world upside down. "It was really quite serious and had it gone on any longer it could've been fatal," he told BBC Scotland. "The doctors emphasised to my family how serious it was and for them it was really hard, but if it wasn't for them I don't know if I would've got through it. "I felt crippled. I couldn't physically move or do anything that my body was telling me to do, and when I finally did get to walk, it was a struggle. "I was put on antibiotics and I thought I would maybe only be out for a month or two, but there was poison that formed around the infection which meant they had to operate on me and that delayed my comeback by about three or four months."

Thank you Hugh. I suspect this may submerge now.

Looks like his goal has been reached ?

As Roy Hodgson once said to me "Johndo, Always look on the bright side of life".
