Perfect Johndo, the jobs yours. Cheers Proc, I will add you to the editors PM.

Hi Guys Here is another plea for our own forum users to write some articles for the main page of CTO. If anyone would like to submit articles, especially previews and reports please add your name to this thread and I will be in touch. Last season we had some fantastic previews/reports from gingerjaggy, alternative maryhill and our intrepid biker davie. I know there are others on here who could provide us with some entertaining and informative articles, but it's up to you to come forward and offer your time and effort to keep the articles flowing. We also had a guest appearance from IHE and the different styles added to the quality of the experience. I know who I would like to see on here, but I can't force it upon anyone, so don't leave it to the same handful to do all the work, share the load and share your views for the enjoyment of all site users. I will pm the editorial team once we see who is interested. Don't be shy, cliche central awaits you and we can accommodate plenty of different styles, variety is the spice of life and we can throw in more cliches than Jim on the apprentice. This is part of last seasons plea. I am trying to establish who our editorial team are. We need Previews and Reports for every match. This weekend we have Motherwell on Saturday and nobody has come forward with an offer of a preview for this game. Ideally an article should be ready for publication by Thursday evenings for a Saturday match. We can make any amendments to the article after that, but we need a bit of time to check over any article and submit it for publication on the main page. I could sit down and write every preview and every match report all season, (wife permitting), but people get tired reading the same style of article every week, and I am no expert, just keen to see the site develop and articles are always great for the visiting masses. Last season we have had a handful of contributors, with some excellent articles amongst them, notably Alternative Maryhills version of war and peace. Each to their own, and davie offers a totally different style, bit like a cryptic crossword. Some folk prefer the straight factual approach a la gingerjaggy, some like to get right to the point. All articles are correct of course because there are no right and wrong ways to do them. It's great to have individual styles as that makes for interesting reading. So, bottom line I suppose is, I need previews and reports coming out of my ears, and in time to get them published, especially previews. Previews I find, tend to take longer as there is a lot more research required to find out who is playing etc. Reports require the accuracy which can be easily gleaned by video evidence and now we are in the SPL there are usually plenty of text reports available to enable us to get the picture. Here we go then..............., are you up to doing a preview for any game. Remember these articles are for publication on the Main Page of the site which can have lots of visitors so the articles must be clean and not contain any abusive/racist/etc etc etc etc etc, I think you know the script. For those of you that have access to the editorial forum already, please copy your articles in there and we will publish them as soon as is practicable. For those without access, please pm them to scotty and tm4tj and we can upload them from there. Once we see that articles are gushing from your pen, then access will be permitted to the editorial forum. Nothing too exciting happens in there, but it means that you can post your preview/report in the correct forum and we will take it from there.........simples peeps. I will await the rush of hits on my messenger now. Anyway, cheers for listening guys and hopefully we can keep the articles flowing.

Woohooooo Cheers Davie, yer wee leggy's are hurting the noo, but ye will feel better for it at your age. I thought you might average between 15-20mph but considering the weather and the length of your legs and a stop over for fish and chips I added on a bit extra, so well done you and well done me. I'll prob go for a shirt, it's more visual. Speak to you soon.

When Alex was 19 they were ?3.12/6d

He said there were no distractions in England.............I thought Johndo was there

?20 from me Davie and if you don't cheat...........4h 15m

We will be much better when Munro and Duncan are back.

Maybe he is just dirty

Andy Stewart I believe there were a few who were thinking of taking the kilt with them.

We never said what bench

Apparently he may be on the bench

Foran scored fourth

Official site Has Tade and Cox unable to play in first week of SPL action.

Scotty, just paid for my three via the linky thingy.

Not after he was skinned twice by Rory McAllister as he scored both the Heid's goals in a 2-0 win over Falkirk.

Unless they have moved the goalposts, it's worked out on distance usually, although the competition players will verify that. Incidentally, Graeme McDowell who hinted at the course being too easy.................sank a 15 foot putt for a nine at one of the holes, aye, easy right enuff Graeme. They are all easy if you hit the fairway and green in regulation, therein lies many an amateurs problem. Taken from wikipedia which may be near enough:- The key factor for classifying the par of a hole is the distance from the tee to the green. A typical par-3 hole is less than 250 yards (225 m) in length, with a par-4 hole ranging between 251 and 475 yards (225?434 m), and a par-5 hole being longer than 475 yards (435 m). The rare par-6s can stretch well over 650 yards (595 m). You normally find that a par five hole would have a smaller green as you would be expected to be near the green with your second shot, thus making the third approach to the green a short pitch (hopefully) The issues at Castle Stuart as I understand it from a scoring perspective is that the fairways were too wide at the driving distance and too generous, ie, the rough was not very heavy and the bunkers could have been more intrusive. However, take yer normal Jack the Lad round here and he will probably return scores in the nineties. These guys are experts, in fact Luke Donald is the current world number 1 and he made it look easy because he was at the top of his game.

Great news, a star is born. It's the first facebook birth I have been present at, I feel quite emotional now wooohooooooo

Not sure you will have many taker Mahonio as it's a bit time consuming and not worth the hassle just for the pre-season friendlies, but if anyone has the technology and time then please reply direct to Mahonio via PM. There may be one or two who are willing to share their thought's via twitter or this website, that may be another option.

I notice that Elgin City have some information on yesterdays friendly on their site Forans overhead was a great effort.

Cheers guys for all the updates and a great summary from ubern, especially as it was nearly five in the morning

.............With her brother Desmond

You need to see him before making comments on him. To be honest he must be the smallest footballer in the world, that is no disrespect to him as he is obviously very neat on the ball. That is not heightist or whatever, that is fact. It will be tough for him in the big boys game, but if he has the determination then he will survive. Good luck to him. George Best was a giant compared to this lad.

I wondered where Carol Decker went
