Scotland's PFA Manager of 2011/12 said : "I think looking at them training this week the pressure has been taken off them a bit because they're going to Celtic Park and they're not expected to win the match." Another correct prediction. "We didn't defend well enough straight after half-time and were 2-0 down after seven minutes of the second-half. We try and copy what Inverness do but coming back from 2-0 is as likely as finding a Ross County player living in and enjoying the nightlife of Dingwall. They all live in Inverness.''

St Mirren will seek to tight mark him. This will be a great challenge for him to score 8 league games in a row.

Owen will surely get another chance in the Welsh team with current performances. We are very privileged to see the class of our players this season.

Adams after the Celtic match today "As I keep on saying, we have taken a team from the village and we've put them on the map'' That almost suggests Rossco is a village idiot. Not fair I hear you say. Mind you, he was not risked against Celtic.

The taxi drivers of Inverness are up for the grand prix. Craig Whyte lives just down the road when he is not in Monaco. Which reminds me, does Monaco have an equivalent to Porterfield?

Celtic meet Juventus on Tuesday 12 February 2013. This is how they reacted: ' Celtic manager Neil Lennon said: ''In terms of glamour it's a beauty; in terms of qualification it's going to be very, very tough. We have a bruiser of a game with Inverness on Saturday 9 February however we are desperate to beat Juventus on the Tuesday. Let's hope the Caledonian Stadium is warm and inviting for our visit. In terms of glamour, those peasants up north do cause us trouble from time to time. It's a huge game to enjoy and relish and anything can happen over two legs. We won the first dual 4-3'' '

C'est une cracker as Lionel would say. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=chicken+v+egg&num=10&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1024&bih=655&tbm=isch&tbnid=M5Wlf4jM0GTPQM:&imgrefurl=http://mixof26letters.wordpress.com/category/visibility/&docid=fxq85r8RASV8yM&imgurl=http://mixof26letters.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/chicken-egg2.jpg&w=326&h=453&ei=if3TUIe0IMGi0QWZqYH4Ag&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=265&dur=5672&hovh=265&hovw=190&tx=57&ty=150&sig=101089285988274895087&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=80&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:16,s:0,i:136

Is Billy Mackay the Highlands own 'Lionel Nessi'? He is a centimetre taller but earns something like 10m euros less per year than his namesake. Messi's partner is Antonella Roccuzzo but Lionel Billy Nessi needed Antonio Reguero in the team before he started scoring. Messi is compared with Ronaldo, Xavi and Iniesta. Lionel Billy Nessi is currently compared to ...well Craig Dargo. Messi's dad was a steelworker. Billy Nessi comes from Corby. Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. Billy Nessi used to have a problem but with Owen Tudor and Ross Draper in the side he can get up above all opposing centre halves using the Maurice Malpas Piggy Back move at set pieces. Potentially the big difference between Messi and Nessi is that Lionel cannot understand a word that Richie Foran says. There again, Billy Nessi is now scoring freely because he ignores his captain's request to pass or leave it. Long may this continue.

Questions in advance of the game on the 2nd: When was the last time Rossco was sent off? Second, having been booked, then committed a few dodgy fouls in the Cup Replay, why was Rossco hooked at half time? Third question, what did Charlie Christie say to Boner?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20743409 ''Ross County manager Derek Adams described his side's draw with Dundee as the Staggies' "worst performance" in the league so far this season. Iain Davidson's impressive first-half strike was cancelled out by Gary Glen's goal for County after the break. "I don't think we played well enough, passed the ball well enough," Adams told BBC Scotland. "We didn't work [goalkeeper] Rab Douglas enough. I still think we had the better opportunities to win." Adams felt Davidson's goal had come "out of the blue" and was disappointed County were unable to snatch a winner late on. "If there was going to be a winner on pressure, then it was always going to be us but Dundee were always capable on the counter-attack," he added. '' Mr Adams added that in the next three games they would Bash the Buoys, humiliate the Hibees (where he had been Colin Calderwood's strategist), and hump Hearts. A spokesperson for County said Mr Adams was still sore from the banter dished out by Inverness Caledonian Thistle supporters at their City based ground during the cup reply which ICT were very lucky to win. Mr Adams and his dad, known to Dingwallites as the Addams Family, was unavailable for comment.

Raven mad at the last minute penalty.

True. Expires 21 December 2012. Details were in the Courier.

McGhee cemented Gary Kenneth to the heart of their defence and placed Riordan on the bench as opposed to in front of the bench for aimless runs. Sadly one must question the judgement of the Rovers chairman. McGhee in January 2012 said "I'm quite nervous but I hope the nerves show that I'm not complacent and thinking that it's going to be easy," while Chairman Nick Higgs added: "Mark sold himself very well. He's not coming here for a stepping stone to get back into his career, he wants to come here and re-build the club. We've reached a low ebb and we need to move forward." 14 December 2012 ''I never imagined in a million years that, at any stage this season, we would be in the relegation zone. "It's a shock to my system as much as anybody else's." '' On 1 December 2010 'Mark McGhee sacked as boss of Aberdeen' with the BBC reminding everyone 'his tenure began with an 8-1 aggregate defeat - their heaviest ever in Europe - to Czech outfit Sigma Olomouc and they ended the season in ninth place in the SPL. Following this season's humiliating defeat by Celtic (9-0), lengthy discussions were held between McGhee and the board. Despite strong indications that the manager was about to be sacked, he remained in post with both sides stressing their determination to improve both on and off the park.'' The Telegraph reported ''Mark McGhee’s 18-month spell in charge of Aberdeen came to its anticipated end on Wednesday night with a brief announcement from the Pittodrie chairman, Stewart Milne, who had granted his beleaguered manager a stay of execution three weeks ago after the worst defeat in the club’s history.''

It was no yolk yesterday after 9 minutes. The boys looked shell shocked. Both Josh and Graeme felt like turkeys. Then Billy put three in the nest. For the first he did not duck. The second he kept down. The penalty gained after Ross swanned through a flood. The ICT supporters began to chirp. Gary rose like an eagle from his warren. He is no chicken. This was eggsiting stuff from the boys in blue. Butcher's flock don't know when they are Beaton, but Beaton they were not, despite the ref spotting a pen in the scramble. Daly had poached a point after ICT's early roasting.

Agent Tokely - once a Caley player, always a Caley player. Blatant penalty. Good refereeing. Tremendous scope for him to be a professional boxer or wrestler when he retires. If he could get Ross County relegated on the last day of the season, that would be a glorious double for him.

Just out of interest and taking Terry's little game with our players before the Aberdeen game, what sort of dog is Adams? Could it be http://www.masterfile.com/stock-photography/image/608-03473063/A-dog-holding-an-I-Am-Lost-sign

County's next five games Dundee Home - nil points Celtic away - nil points Hibernian away - nil points Hearts home - draw one puny point Inverness home - 7-0 win to home team. Three valuable points. Dundee's next five games Ross County away- three points Inverness away - hopefully nil points Celtic home - not a hope Aberdeen home - three points St Johnstone away - one point So the moral of this story is that when we next play County we must not let them beat us 7-0 in order for Dundee to edge above them in the table. Ross County can at least concentrate on the relegation battle now they are out of both cups.

To be fair to County a defeat to Dundee would create some anxiety over the Bridge. We then entertain them with Nish back after suspension so we would need to be careful. County are drifting into the relegation zone with Celtic to follow Dundee.

Ex Liverpool Reserve Captain settling into a determined group of players, staff and management keen to beat the odds. Amazing what confidence does to a good player then compare with Adam Rooney's apparent decline.

We have never had it so good at this level.

One small unforgotten hero in all this was Meekings who nodded the ball down to Foran for the equaliser.

Craig Thomson has now been accused of adding on a few seconds for Celtic to get an equaliser at Dingwall, and a few seconds for ICT to come back from the dead.

I believe it is used as a function suite by the George and Derek Adams School of Silly Dancing.
