What a poor start by both teams, the Spaniards are sitting too deep and punting long hopeless balls forward and the Gerry's look the most likely early doors although nothing much has happened after fifteen minutes...........woops, almost an own goal, that big ***** Lehmann made a reflex save to deny Spain...........first action so far Great header by Torres from a Ramos cross, crashes back off the base of Lehmann's right hand post but bounces agonisingly wide of the follow up strikers. Torres looking razor sharp on the break and forces a corner. Nothing doing. Fabregas forces Lehmann to do some work with long range effort easily saved, half an hour gone. Jings, Torres is rapid, he outpaces defenders and squeezes ball past outcoming keeper from right side of eighteen yard box. 1-0 Spain. Ol? Ol? Ol? Ol?...........Ol? Ol?...................Viva Espa?a Spain in control and cut open the German defence again only for Silva to miscue a volley from fifteen yards. Ballack felled 38 yards from goal, wasted free kick floated beyond everyone. Neat interplay from Spain has Ballack dishing out some retribution. Silva's heavy touch wastes good through ball in the box and it runs out. Ballack back on after getting some attention for blood wound to the head I think. Corner to Gerry's half cleared but return blocked for another corner to Germany from the other side. Ballack getting involved again and needs to be booked soon, in fact he is now. Another swift break by Spain sees them go from box to box, corner kick, should have done better. Half time approaches and Spain looking the most comfortable on the ball and creating all the action so far, whistle goes to bring the first half to a close. Half time Spain 1-0 Germany Low key start to the second half, Spain still have the edge and Xavi fires in a vicious shot which ref gives a corner, much to Lehmann's consternation and from the resultant corner, Ramos almost flicks a shot towards the net. Next up, almost a carbon copy of the opening goal but Lehmann is first to another through ball with sprinter Torres a close second. Another Spanish cross whistles across the Germans box but no takers. 'Ouch', Ballack almost snatches an equaliser with a snapshot from twenty yards which ruffled the side net on the way past. Still only 1-0 and you can never write off the Germans. Kouranyi has come on as a substitute and the Germans are now responding with a couple of surges forward.....Schweinsteiger gains a corner after whacking a thirty yarder off a defender. Germans certainly putting the effort in now. Minor handbags with Silva pushing his forehead into Podolski's face...............seen people sent off for that indiscretion, 25 mins left for Germany to turn this round. That was Silva's last manoeuvre, being replaced by Santi Cazorla, probably for the best. Spain almos increase their lead but Lehmann equal to the task and Iniesta twice in as many minutes could have wrapped up the tie. But as long as this game stays at only 1-0 the Germans won't give up. Spains neat passing game is deservedly pushing them towards a long awaited European crown, with 73 minutes gone. Torres booked for a challenge. Spaniards playing themselves into a spot of bother, but swiftly transfer the ball to the opposite end where Torres does the defender but Lehmann reads it to smother the ball. Kiss of death for Spain as Lawerenson said that this is the worst German team ever...............lookout. Torres substituted now all six substitutes on the park as Spain break forward menacingly. Ten minutes plus for Spain to hold on. Great work by Senna as he carves open the Gerry's and almost gets on the end of the return cross, tantalisingly close to the clincher. Once again Spain break forward but no helpers, although a corner was a decent second prize, free kick from the corner offers a chance from twenty five yards centre of goal but Xavi lifts it over the bar. Spain defending deep as Germans try to take the game to extra time, but offsides thwarts the Germans. Spain have looked so comfortable all game and no one would have any complaints if they carried the tropy away after this one. Lapse in the German rearguard almost gifts Spain an opening but the cross is blocked as Spain keep the Germans hemmed in. Stifled laughs as Germans thought they were getting a penalty but decision goes to Spain, three minutes of added on time to wait. Game is just slipping away from the Germans, as Spain once more rip the defenders a new erse with only one minute left. Puyol is magnificent as usual as the Spaniards are on the cusp.....................Ol? Ol? Ol? Ol?...........Ol? Ol? Viva Espa?a Full time Spain 1-0 Germany...........waltz on. Good display by the referee and his assistants. Platini seems to be enjoying himself................now, there was a great player. We are the champions rings around the ground as Motson signs off, Spains first title in 44 years.

Aye Charlie, they wre founded in 1984 and joined in season 85-86 when they lost out to Stirling Albion 6-0 after a replay. Claggan Park game ending 0-0. This was the season after Stirling Albion set a 20th century Scottish Cup scoring record by defeating Selkirk 20-0, a century after Arbroath had thumped hapless Bon Accord 36-0. Now then...........for a bonus point...............can you name all the scorers in both these games :029: Red Lichties record

official site linky poo sorted Barrowman signs :003:

There you go see, we rushed it ot before they finished designing it :029:

teletext has him quoted as saying he snubbed better cash offers from English sides to sign a three year deal with ICT and to try and prove himself in the SPL. Fair enough Andy.

He has all the shots and is getting stronger, but his temperament and small time mentality will always mean he will never win it.

from the beeb site, it looks like a done deal Inverness seal Barrowman switch Inverness have signed striker Andy Barrowman from Ross County. The 23-year-old was out-of-contract after hitting 29 goals to help County secure the Second Division championship last season. Barrowman is Inverness manager Craig Brewster's first summer signing as he looks to bolster his squad. Looks real enough for me to put it to bed. Hope he is up to the job.

And what about his tatoo :010:

No you won't, I decided to ban you while you were away :blah01:

It was a Scottish Qualifying Cup (North) tie at................... this team entered the league the season before. winners in this season 1985/86 Peterhead 5, Buckie Thistle 1.

Just came across a programme for a certain match for this team. (20p) the real ones. Who were the opponents and what was the score on Saturday 5th August 1985 W Neilson.........ex-Caley starlet, taken his chance since the departure of Les Fridge to Chelsea. W Skinner........18 year old ex-Dundee United, returned North because he was homesick. W Wilson..........20 year old full back. K Sweeney.......another 18 year old ex-Caley starlet but life long Thistle fan. D Milroy............been with the club since he was 14, now 28 and second longest serving player at Kingsmills. M Andrew.........ex-rugby player, fast and uncompromising. A Black..............titch, longest serving player, won every honour in North football, probably the most popular player in the game. G Hay................skillful midfielder, Glasgow born Tax Inspector in his second year with the Jags. A Macdonald.....Ft Augustus youngster, six goals already this season. F Taylor............ex-Forres/Clach & Brora, suspended for first 4 games of season, scored 6 in 4 games since returning. C Christie.........19 year old ex-Caley starlet now following in his brothers footsteps, skillful player in the Titch Black mould. C Maclean.........Grantown based. Hardest worker in team, his size hides his strength. W Sanderson....Much younger than he seems, been in the Highland league scene for so long. B Black..............Titch's brother, now second team coach, badly affected by injuries, joined club in 1973. ref was J.R. McCulloch (Inverness) and, after 8 or 9 games, the Highland league looked like this team-----------played------points ELGIN-------------8-----------22 CALEY-------------9----------19 COUNTY-----------9----------17.......County had scored 30 goals, nearest to them was Elgin with 19. PETERHEAD-------8----------17 FORRES------------7----------16 JAGGIES-----------7----------13.......but two games in hand over Caley, Elgin had played one game less than Caley KEITH--------------7----------11 HUNTLY------------9----------11 BUCKIE------------7----------10 BROCH-------------8----------10 VALE----------------9----------10 Ft WILLIAM--------7-----------9 BRORA--------------8-----------9 CLACH--------------8-----------7 ROTHES------------8-----------7 LOSSIE-------------9-----------4 NAIRN--------------8-----------3 So, which of these teams did they play? Incidentally, Forres Mechanics eventually won the league this season, their only ever Highland League success.

The crisp sarnies are ok,but remember to take them out of the packet first :029: Don't try this at home children.

Oh dear It's a celebration of Barry Wilson's time playing for ICT. We won't be fielding our strongest side either, we don't want to ebarrass them now do we. It's supposed to be a bit of fun, it's not life or death. So a Liverpool supporter thinks we are taking this seriously......aye right. What the feck is wrong with everybody.............is it the weather?
