  2. Rankins goal certainly the most spectacular, just edging Duncans strike against United, similar goals and both matchwinners. For me the 'total' football which ended with Bayne scoring against Celtic was one of the best sweeping moves we had all season, starting with Tokely at right back on the edge of our own penalty box, switching swiftly to Bazza on the opposite edge of their box, smart cross and first time finish, great goal, so for me that was the best goal we scored this season that I witnessed. Good goals by Granty and Dodsy against Celtic as well In fact, they were all great :021:

    Exactly Alex It's a right shite tune. How about something with a bit of up and at em in it Freebird......................it's a bit slow to start, but if they walk slowly for fifteen minutes it will get up to speed :023:
  5. Is it his job to get people to sit down at the stadium? :steward: Yep, bums on seats, thats it :moon2: And to raise the morale of the home fans :party01: And sort out the car parking :steward: :driving01:
  6. Wow again, this one is just bizarre, taken from BBC news site:- Snake bursts after gobbling gator The predators died in the clash An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps. The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded. The remains of the two giant reptiles were found by astonished rangers in the Everglades National Park. The rangers say the find suggests that non-native Burmese pythons might even challenge alligators' leading position in the food chain in the swamps. Clearly, if they can kill an alligator they can kill other species Prof Frank Mazzotti The python's remains were found with the victim's tail protruding from its burst midsection. The head of the python was missing. "Encounters like that are almost never seen in the wild... And here we are," Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. "They were probably evenly matched in size. If the python got a good grip on the alligator before the alligator got a good grip on him, he could win," Professor Mazzotti said. He said the alligator may have clawed at the python's stomach, leading it to burst. "Clearly, if they can kill an alligator they can kill other species," Prof Mazzotti said. He said that there had been four known encounters between the two species in the past. In the other cases, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw. Burmese pythons - many of whom have been dumped by their owners - have thrived in the wet and hot climate of Florida's swamps over the past 20 years.
  7. THEY swear he is one of the most humungous hogs ever seen – and not just a giant porkie. A pig the size of a hatchback has been reported shot dead by an 11-year-old boy using a pistol. The male wild pig, which is said to weigh half a ton and measure more than 9ft long, was apparently killed by Jamison Stone, a schoolboy from Alabama, while out hunting with his father Mike. The dead boar has been hailed as a contender for the largest wild pig ever found, but the Stones are unsentimental about their trophy. “We’ll probably get 500lb to 700lb of sausages out of him,” Mike Stone told Associated Press. The pig, whose measurements have not been independently verified, is the latest in a series of giant specimens found in the backwoods of the southern United States. One, nicknamed Hogzilla, is to star posthumously in its own film, The Legend of Hogzilla, which will start filming next month.The animal was said to have reached 12ft and weighed more than 1,000lb when it was killed in 2004. However, when its remains were exhumed, scientists estimated that its real weight had been closer to 800lb and its length 8ft. the man who had buried it claimed the difference was because Hogzilla had shrunk after burial, “like a grape turning into a raisin”. In January this year William Coursey claimed to have killed a pig weighing 1,100lb in Georgia, although his claim has not been independently confirmed. The Alabama pig is reported to weigh 1,060lb and to measure 9ft 4in in length. Jamison, an accomplished hunter who killed his first deer at the age of five, was with his father and two guides in eastern Alabama when he bagged the giant pig. He said that he shot the animal eight times with a .50calibre revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot. The animal died in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve near the city of Delta. Throughout the hunt the group were worried that the pig would turn and charge them. “I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited,” said Jamison, who added that once he had brought the animal down he felt “really good”. “It’s a good accomplishment,” he said. “I probably won’t ever kill anything else that big.” His father said that for safety reasons he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast, which had 5in-long tusks, decided to attack. After the prize pig died, trees had to be cut down and a mechanical digger brought in to bring it out of the woods. It was hauled onto a truck and taken to the Clay County farmers’ exchange in Lineville, where it was weighed. Jeff Kinder, who runs the exchange, said they used his newly calibrated scales to weigh the hog. Kinder’s scales – the old-fashioned type with sliding weights – measure only to the nearest 10, but Mike Stone said that it balanced one notch past the 1,050lb mark. “It probably weighed 1,060lb,” he said. “We were just afraid to change it once the story was out.” The hog’s head is being mounted by Jerry Cunningham, a local taxidermist, who said that the animal measured 54in around the head, 74in around the shoulders and 11in from the eyes to the end of its snout. “It’s huge,” he said. “It’s just the biggest thing I’ve ever seen.” The animal’s statistics could, if confirmed, make it the largest wild pig, although the world record for the heaviest pig so far is held by “Big Bill”, a Tennessee domestic Poland China hog that tipped the scales at 2,551lb in 1933 with a belly that dragged on the ground. Many of the wild specimens in America are hybrids of domestic pigs and descendants of European wild boar. These hybrids are known for their prodigious appetites and aggression. Stone’s son has been offereda small part in the Hogzilla film, although he said he would now retire from killing giant pigs and stick to shooting pheasants instead. “They are a little less dangerous,” he said.
  8. Mind you, would you want your kids to be coached by County coaches, look where it has got them :023: :sillywave:
  9. Allegedly, United's offer on the table was as good, but his agent's personal demands were over the top and Swansea paid them. Fekkin agents :018:
  10. We are top of the league and your no :015: That one seems to have died a death :016: cheerio cheerio cheerio :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave:
  11. 19 home games, missed the St Mirren game as I was under the, ahem, weather at new year. So I reckon thats a total of direct to the game and straight home again........76 miles, unfortunately, via the Innes for pre match it extends it to around 114 miles..............thats dedication for ya. Only went to three away games late in season, Killie, Falkirk and Paisley. Did the league cup games, two of them. Scottish cup against Dundee United & Celtic, another two games. Pre-season V Elgin, Clach, Blades and County, thats four more Managed two or three Reserve games. And Ross County V Gretna, dramatic day.................or was it traumatic day! Also at the County Airdrie game . Must do better :018:
  12. Strewth........................you lot are daft punks......................or something like that :029:
  13. Sweet home Alabama :buttkick: it kicks ***
  14. You are right it is wrong He should have jumped into the crowd and broken a few legs of the morons that want him to wrap his car round a tree or get maimed in the first tackle of the match. I think I will stick to flower arranging, less hassle :rolleyes02:
  15. Slightly different to Hairy, I knew it was early but left later than planned and went via Halfords as my number plate had fallen off, did not leave sneck till 09:40, and traffic hold ups slowed the progress, missed the first 15 mins, decent watch I thought.
  16. next :023: So hoist up Johndo's kilt See how he likes to get felt Call the captain a whore Don't let him sit down, don't let him sit down He wants to stand up.............Mike Smith He feels so broke up He won't sit down Sooooooo..................Stand up for the Caley Jags :023:
  17. Well said Gillian The wee man is a giant.
  18. I agree with Mantis Another season in the top flight and comfortable with it, well done everybody :021: :021: :021: :021: :021:
  19. Well merited win, we had a fistful of chances to score before we did, Dargo missing at least three in the first half. Rory looked pretty lively as well, so good for him, one dribbled took him past three defenders but he blasted his shot from twenty five yrds high and wide. We were eager to please and plenty of shots from distance rained on the Mirren goal. Caff did well to nick in behind the Mirren defence after a long throw I think, it got knocked towaeds the near post and he reacted quickest to dink the ball into the net from close range with the head. Blackie and Hart peppered the goals and Hastings tried his luck again with exactly the same free kick routine, this time the keeper clutched the ball into his chest and it stuck. We almost undid our good work with a lapse at the box, a missed clearance , but Mikey blocked the shot. I must say, Mike Fraser looked very good today, good handling and great kicking. No failures from me today. Fraser excellent, Tokely............almost stole the show and stuffed it right up the nasty Mirren fans with a glancing header which skimed just wide. Caff, good display and a goal to boot, Hastings just what we have come to expect from him. Zander, MoM for me like a terrier snapping at their heels and taking them on when required, great future for this lad, Richie Hart another impressive display and unlucky not to score, Blackie, fantastic and kept his cool, Russeldinho, good link up and almost blemish free, Dargo, should have scored, lively display, big Rory was actually ok for the first hour so well done him, Denzil came on but was quiet and Bayne ruffled a few feathers when he came on, Bazza came on as well and did his bit. Poor old Dodsy, never got to say goodbye, or is it just cheerio. Well done the singing boys, good noise and good banter. Overall, well done ICT for giving us another season to be proud of. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

  24. Well done to Caley100 for winning the award tonight, Bazza ran you close but overall you were exceptional and totally deserve the trophy. At first I could not distinguish between 'blonde' hair and 'grey' hair, but you ended the contest when you entered the stadium........and dared to stand up...............for a prolonged spell....................only japing, enjoyed the night, even if a bit subdued, ye cannae whak the night we all had in the Chieftain................but maybe circumstances prevailed............what a night that was, first division trophy, players, managers, coaches, being handed round the hostelry pics don't lie
  25. Just been on Grampian now, Les Kidger said a few words as well............fair bit of publicity on the go now :023:
