"Inverness boss Terry Butcher looks stunned. He's peering out from under that blue baseball cap; chatting to first-team coach Maurice Malpas about what to do next."

HT 0-1. No idea what else is happening though, as my internet's too buggered to stream the commentary today.

Killie 1-0 up (Invincible)...

Are there any plans to publicise this plea in the press? I'd guess the majority of numpties who are likely to jump on the pitch aren't going to be reading this forum, but at least if it's printed in the Rancid or something, a helpful family member might point it out to them before the game

Could be a while before we see him in the first team, mind you...

I just told you what I suggest they do Having lived in Ireland and England for the past umpteen years, I've lost count of the number of people I've had to explain it to... mainly because there's nothing in the printed SPL table in most papers that suggests it's anything other than a regular league table, so folk just naturally assume it's a mis-print when 7th has more points than 6th.

While this doesn't bother me in the slightest, it does seem to confuse a lot of folk who don't know how it works-- if the split is going to happen, I dunno why they don't just properly split things into two groups, rather than pretending everyone is still playing in the same league.

Does online renewal work yet? My dad and my brother have both tried a few times over the past week or so, and the website just fell flat on its arse in various different ways each time.

I don't know, you don't know, neither does the coo. (As my grandfather used to say...) Pretty much a lottery at this stage.

Yep, according to Fishel Site, he's only managed 13 before, on two occasions. And he's just been booked...

14 goals -- no' bad for somebody who supposedly can't control, pass or shoot

Personally, I'd be most worried that it ended up costing the club money. Travel to arse end of nowhere + having to find another ground to play our home leg + potentially getting pumped out at the first hurdle while the players are still half a stone overweight from their holidays, doesn't really make for a very attractive financial proposition...

Caley equaliser, 1-1...

It's a UK-only job, even though it doesn't say so (I'm having to listen through our office VPN)... dunno why your proxy isn't working though...

McGhee describes the situation in the Herald today as "Kafkaesque". Now there's a word you don't hear from SPL managers every day. Clicky

Anybody want to put them right? Clicky

At a midweek game against Caley? They'll probably be able to hear what you order at the pie stand.

Clicky "Rab was signed from dunfermline athletic and he was the club's top scorer as they won promotion in 1984/85 with 9 goals to his name. he was capable of performing well out wide or through the middle, he was very fast and while at fir park he did pick up a few injuries which sidelined him for months. he joined falkirk in 1985, he was also part of the deal which brought crawford baptie to fir park. he scored 10 goals in his 'well career."

Not exactly a mine of footballing information, but lists some former clubs at least: Trashy article from some downmarket tabloid And scoring for Dunfermline against Rangers.

McGhee talking to John Barnes about the possibility... Clicky

Yes.

Ireland *is* abroad Well, except for me of course... would just be typical if we were to get an Irish team though, cos I'm off at a conference on Gran Canaria from the 2nd-9th July

In the eyes of the Rangers "loyal"? Not far off it.
