CaleyCanary

Hi Y'all. I'm agreeing with the old Gringo here, I love playing this game just for the fun of it but thought that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd added a bit extra oomph to the comp. Lot to be said for going to 4th or 5th as well if we have a load more punters joining like Clacher says, but I'd happily stick with the first three format. Even if I drop out of the running for a place early on I still like to have a go. Good idea about a standing team. I don't get on as much as before because of more stringent site blocking rules at work so sometimes find it difficult to get on and I missed some Naps and NPL stuff last season. Don't see any harm in sticking with Div 1 even though we're in it again. When we first started I think I remember Bob saying it helped not having Caley Jags there so yer bet wasn't influenced by yer heart - nae bother, heart comes into supporting yer team not betting against them if it's the best bet of the day - and it helps soften the blow if you get thrashed but pocket a winner I can see the point in sticking to just the SFL games but I like taking a dip into the early round cup games when there's no league matches scheduled. Perhaps we could go for this before the big boys from the SPL join in? It also helps to stick an extra dimension into the mix of the competition. But I'd rather give the internationals a miss.

Champion work again ol' Gringers and a great comp this season - probably the tightest top 10 we've had yet. Nice one Kencar!

OMG Harry, the tears are rolling! Don't know whether it's sentimental empathy or just the laughing, but that is the inspirational prose of a master. Get yersel in the tunnel before the game for a final Braveheart style address before the battle!!!

Safe walking troops, and take care of my favourite hippopotamus! See you in Sneck next Saturday :)

St Johstone away win @ 3.20 ta very much. Really enjoyed this season ta. Unlike Gringo & kiltarlity I had a crap start then a good run but ran out of steam at the end. Still happy to finish with 200+. Cheers to Bob and all the guys that take the time to run this every week

Welcome aboard Terry and Maurice, delighted you have come to join us. And a very big thank you to our board for bringing in such a quality management team! Must admit to getting a wee bit worried with some of the other names being bandied about before the weekend. Give it your best shot guys and we'll be behind you all the way. Not counting chickens but I'm looking forward to next season already!

We had the lovely 'Charlie's Angels' so how about the 'Butcher Boys' suitably decked out in stripey aprons - I do like the napper bandages though!

Anybody but Sutton (well maybe not Brew). His man-management style would not suit our players or the supporters. I have personal experience of his communication style from down here in the Norfolk cricketing world and I just can't see it working at TCS.

St Johnstone v Dunfermline draw @ 3.60 ta...

Killie now winning 3-1

I'm not enjoying this season very much with Norwich City going the same way: team in disarray, fans squabbling but mostly united in their loathing of a clueless manager who can't stem a disastrous run of poor defeats as they head for the bottom of the league at breakneck speed. Yet that's where the similarities have ended - the Canaries board took that leap over the edge by sacking Roeder and his backroom team without having anybody else lined up to take over after a shocking performance saw them knocked out of the FA cup at home on Tuesday night (final straw for everyone associated with the club). Bryan Gunn, ex keeper and Canary legend, was given the caretaker job on Thursday for the one match. He brought back some loan players Roeder didn't get on with, made 6 changes, changed the formation and they beat Barnsley 4-0! Ok, one swallow doesn't make a summer and all that, it may not work in the longer term as the permanent appointment is so crucial and they got the last 2 wrong, but at least they have made a move to try to save the club. Would love to see our board having the courage to do something similar before it's too late, if we haven't reached that point already!!! As things stand our SPL days are history and we ain't coming back anytime soon - we are suffering from total management failure so fix it - might be easier to fill the position if it's already vacant! Could we honestly do any worse without a manager for a wee while than we're already doing?
