IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Tremarco probably not quite ready for two games in a week - certainly looked fecked at the end at Ayr.

Soon all we will have are our memories ?

Including anybody with a personal "axe" to grind - I know how it feels to be the victim ?

The Dougaldome ?

Or it could be tasting Premiership football, better pay and Central Scotland ?

Oh my gawd - does that mean that all those concerns about Allan MacKenzie were unfounded ?

Personally I feared that we would be in a relegation scrap this season and would have accepted a safety position at the off. I have to concede that the Oakley transfer is an odd one but we have added McCauley and McDonald and we have three "big" players to return and I still hope that McGregor and Danny McKay can make an impact.

Did anyone notice who the Seer left out of the Smileymometer ?

Nicky Clarke on loan from the Arabs ?

You would never fit in to the Hamilton Young Team.

So why hook Austin at Ayr ?????

Exfeckinactly - I have booked in for the Saturday and Sunday and that is now fooked.

Wouldn't bet on it.

"Well played but we need spondoolicks fer a new striker"

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.
