It was the type of tackle like Rosco did on a regular basis each season and picked up cards for! Did we shout for him not to play for the club again?

Hobsons Choice

Does he play for County?

All together now .....

Let's all laugh at County, let's all laugh at County,

La la la la. La la la la.

and repeat - till we get gubbed by Arbroath tomorrow.

Two serious points though. Three premier division sides knocked out tonight including the holders so this competition is already opening up. No messing about with this competition, please, let's make sure we win tomorrow and we could get a morale boosting, money earning run going.

Secondly, Adams rested several players including Munro and Tokely. The report says that without ext ICT keeper Brown, the defeat might have been heavier. What is clear is that County have little depth and are heavily reliant on the defensive qualities of those two. If County are hit by an injury or two to key defenders they could struggle.

Hope Butcher does not rest our key defenders tomorrow night!

YES for me I have voted SNP all my life a young 55 now and beleive we are able to govern our own country.

Will have my ear to the radio lets hope we can bang in a few goals and get 3 points!

I had no idea northern folk were such a sensitive bunch!

Having an idea about anything would require the ability to think. Can you do that?

Don't mess with Oddquine :firebreath:

Must be hard defending from E Wickers!

Just watched the highlights on Sky Sports News. Some good goals. Shocking crowd though.

I was away today but WILL be there for the first home game and looking forward to it. Hope we get a good crowd!

There's no way they, or any club, is going to hold 1000 seats for general admission when they have people wanting to purchase season tickets.

Good marketing ploy though....send out information that you might be about to pull the plug on Season Ticket sales due to demand and then sit back and watch as all those dithering or on the fence race to snap them up for fear they might lose out.

Mr Macgregor and his crew are not as daft as you think!

The Australian Government and the NSW Forestry Service were presenting an alternative to NSW sheep farmers for controlling the dingo population.

It seems that after years of the sheep farmers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the Labour Government

(Peter Garrett - Environmental Minister), the NSW Forestry Service and the Greens tree-huggers had a 'more humane' solution.

What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males would then be castrated and let loose again.

Therefore the population would be controlled.

This was ACTUALLY proposed to the NSW Sheep Farmers Association.

All of the sheep farmers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.

Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, 'Mr Garrett, son, I don't think you understand

Our problem, 'those dingo's ain't f***ing our sheep, they're eatin' 'em.'

Good thread much better than all the doom and gloom over the last few months! Enjoy your trip to Inverness!

Must be a different family because the daughters I remember (one at least of whom I still see about the place) will be early/ mid 50s and the mother, whom they looked very like, would certainly not have been old enough to have had a son who is now 67.

That Ross family might be Jimmy a retired prison officer now living in Bruce Gardens, his late wife Rachel who worked in the Hydro Electric office (now Hootananny's) the daughters are Jane Macbean and Maureen Spence both living in Inverness

The electronic equipment being tried out for goal-line technology will not be used at Rangers games next season," a Celtic fan phones to tell us.

When we asked why, he replied: "Apparently it doesn't work with goalposts made from jumpers."

What about Laurence? Think he must have gone down to London for the Jubilee and got lost!

After his recent posts he has been away reading his history books

Ed and Nancy met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her.

When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.

Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Nancy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Nancy was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better than the last.

On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Nancy to a fine restaurant. While having ****tails and waiting for their salad, Ed said,

"I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!"

Nancy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last five years I've been a hooker."

Ed said, "I bet it's because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."

Can anyone remind me if are we supposed to be getting £5 off the cost of a new shirt for buying a ST, will this be announced when the new shirts are available

I got my £5 voucher with mine

With a Rangers in the 3rd division, do you think the Record will devote just a paragraph or two to their match reports like they always have done for every other 3rd division team?

They should do!

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University ..

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,

after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and

walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.

The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.

Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.

He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs

and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same f.....g elephant.

What about Laurence? Think he must have gone down to London for the Jubilee and got lost!

The people running Scottish Football Neil Doncaster and his chums are all in it for themselves the status and money! Not caring about their customers (the fans) what we want. If the SPIN they are pedaling about the Sky deal is true they have made a complete **** of the contract and are trying to save their skins. Just like the Politicians and Bankers!

It's not a question of punishment. This is a new club - it is the old club and those who are responsible for all the wrong doing who need to be punished. The point is simply that a new club should enter an established league system at the bottom and work its way up. If they are good enough they will get into division 1 in 2 years time. If they are not good enough a club that is good enough will move into division 1 instead. Meanwhile it would be quite wrong to deny a place in the the first division to a team that is good enough, who play by the rules and who therefore have earnt that place. It is exactly the same argument as that which says they have no right to be in the SPL.

But does that not mean Newco starting in the Southern League or Highland League or equivalents to get the required three years of audited accounts etc that every other team which applies to join the SFL is required to have...or alternatively, buying a Club in one of the other divisions and taking their place as Airdrie United did? Every other brand new team takes a minimum three years, unless they go the alternative route, to even get to the application stage, so Newco should be looking at a minimum of five years in the wilderness before hitting SFL1....which should be plenty of time to ensure that by then, Scottish Football has sorted itself out...and stopped running the whole of Scottish football for the benefit of two teams and the flaming TV..

You may well be right. I don't know enough about the rules to say whether they have actually have any right to apply for the SFL in the first place. All I am saying is that if they do then it has to be division 3 or not at all.

The last sentence says it all!

Peterhead are the latest to say they would reject the proposal for 1st division but would welcome them in the 3rd!

is it me or does antonio reguero kind of look like tuffey at first glance

Not sure if its the jaw or the forehead.

It's the gloves!

A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."

"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."

"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."

The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"

The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really."

"What about that eye patch?"

"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them **** in my eye."

"You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird ****."

"It was my first day with the hook."
