African nations always seem to give their football team a nickname. Some of them are impressive and intimidating. Others not so. Just shout out any that you know or want to guess.

Derek Adams and Darren Mackie both did it I think.

Don't think so.

Unbelievable. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8454242.stm Windscreen obscured by ice too!

Innocent or clever? http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/MP...blow.5919884.jp

Great time to be away on a "warm weather training camp" but he'll miss building snowmen and sledging.

Berwick Rangers must have had a lot.

Is he aware that the arctic conditions don't last all season?

Indeed. He confirmed this by thinking he'd struck a great deal with these guys for some cigars and voluntarily leaving a busy street to go up side alleys with them to complete the deal.

When I went on a tour of Havana there was this mouthy Scouse tourist, wearing the biggest, chunkiest, gold chain I've ever seen. He proclaimed loudly to everyone "I'm not racist, but you've got to watch the darkies here". Anyway, the next day we were all heading back to Varadero when he got onto the the bus, minus the chain thanks to his aforementioned friends. To everyone's amusement, he'd spent the previous day at the police station whilst the rest of us experienced the most incredible city. His muggers became wealthy by Cuban standards, but what can they spend their money on?

He's maybe hoping that with Maurice Ross leaving Aberdeen, he'll get his chance.

No no no. The biggest problem you'll have is smug, self-satisfied people HERE, for the rest of your life. :030:

It's entirely possible. Presumably the motor industry as a whole makes a lot of money from these mistakes! As do the forecourts, who still charge for the petrol, and then charge you again when you come back to fill up correctly. Not that I blame them.

I'd like to see the show modified to Dancing On Very Thin Ice. Viewers would phone in to vote who to save.

And before that he did well at Gala Fairydean and then Berwick. Was he Gala manager when we (or rather Caley) put them out of the Cup round about 1985? As a player he played for Gala Fairydean, Berwick and Hearts, and went on to manager all 3.

Killen and Flood were just bad signings, but I'm very surprised Robson is being sold. He's been one of their better players recently, and it surely won't be cheap to get someone the same or better.

Good old "Mutual consent". I suspect Killie will be looking for a very cheap manager. They can't be far away from going bust.

That's no use to me. And it clearly breaches the trade descriptions act. :008:

Tournament now underway with what sounds like a cracking opening match. Hosts Angola go 4-0 up on Mali, who stage a comeback in the last 20 minutes to get a draw. Is there any television coverage of this tournament? BBC used to cover it in previous years but I haven't seen anything so far.

Presumably because they won't fancy facing Motherwell? Killie/Falkirk would be disappointed with the dismal gate receipts they'd get against us, but they'd be more than happy with a pretty easy home tie.

Eay path to the QFs for County.

Away to Killie or Falkirk. Another awful draw.

Seems likely that Togo will withdraw from the tournament. Republic of Ireland are applying to take their place.

The reason behind the inconsistency is that football grounds require a safety certificate and shopping centres etc do not. So the police are extremely influential in one, and not interested in the other.
