"Africa is a continent, not a country." "London is closer to Moscow than Luanda is to Cape Town. If a bomb goes off in Bosnia would you question the Olympics in London?" Two quotes taken from justfootball.com

Yeah. Like what Charles says, most of us just see the end result like, ICT were in finacial trouble a while back, and then we were not (I know we are again now though!). I didn't really understand how the 'rescue' deal all came about. I can just remember my dad talking about having to buy shares in the club to save it, or something like that.

Not all of it. The ANC tournament has been held in Bukina Faso and Ghana in the recent past and things went alright. The Rugby world cup in South Africa had no major incidents and the confederations cup was a success a couple of months ago. All associations were told to travel by air, but Togo went by bus. England have just played several days of cricket in South Africa, and apart from some ball tampering on England's part, no one did anything bad.

?I still find the transfer windows pretty bizarre. ?I find it a restriction of trade more than anything else, it does not happen in other industries.? I think Terry, you'll find there are a lot of things that happen in football that doesn't happen in other industries, like someone with as woeful a record as you, getting appointed manager of a business at the top end if it's field. I reckon you also find tactics bizarre. It is a restriction of trade, that's the whole point.

Is there a chance that neither of them are on here at the moment?

Exactly. Just like James Mcfadden having a wife, all just a big cover up.

That was a great strike. He kissed the badge as his celebration aswell. It was an SPL badge at the time though.

How are babies made?

Why would he be farting anywhere near me?

I didn't notice the quiz in time but I would have got them all wrong.

Train south from Inverness? I didn't think there were any leaving from here today. We got bussed to Aviemore and then got the train from there.

I got the train back south today. Don't do it. This is the fourth train i've been on in two week where the carriage has had nae heating. My sperm is healthily chilled today.....

It's a government conspiracy to keep us in our houses until the election so no-one can oust Brown. The police are holding us back.

I believe that Celtic fans appreciate him. Some even say that when Rangers were trying to offload him in the summer, Celtic fans would not have been that unhappy if he moved to them.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to say that. Four pages in is not bad going though.

With the financial situation being what it is at Rangers at the moment, they may well wait until Dougie 'Legend in his own head' Imrie's contract runs out, before unavailing their long sought after replacement for Jim Baxter. We are lucky.

Same with me. I used to read the times on Sunday, but why pay ?2 odd just to get the sports section, which you can read for free on line?

Your new to football aren't you?

I've been reading quite a bit on this topic recently. I remember just how much of a challenge it was to refrain from ringing club call! Here's a good blog on teletext. http://keepfighting.wordpress.com/2009/08/...tion-breakdown/

:D I think our Ronnie might just be a wee bit short of full match fitness... Thanks for the suggestion though, Sorted.... Any advance on Ronnie from the Corries? No-one can answer your question with the name of another football player that they genuinely believe is better than Boyd.

I remember listening to that on the way back from the stadium. I can't remember if we had been promoted on that day, or had already achieved it the weekend before, but the mocking manner in which THAT bet was placed! It was a good feeling to hear Tam Cowan acknowledge it in 04.

We're they not just on holiday for the last two weeks?

How many chances does Boyd get against the bigger teams? Rangers are set up to draw in the champions league, hence why he doesn't get played. On Sunday, he had one opportunity to shoot and he did it straight away, without any hesitation, even though it was blocked. We don't have any other striker with as much confidence in himself as Boyd. People don't want him played because he looks like a *** but, were people not asking for Black to be in the squad? If Don Cowie gets in the squad then I think Boyd should be there. He's far better than Mcfadden. Mcfadden just had the fortune of being taken to EPL when he was younger as no SPL team can afford to bring him back here now. I don't see why there's even debate over Boyd's ability.

Oh get him to **** then. I didn't realise he was that bad.

To be expected. You can never trust plastic Irish. Easily has his head turned.
