  1. Wow. They do not mind being liars just to blacken our name.

     

    Edit - just realised that their get-out is that it can be read in two ways. Scummy bastards.

     

    Only one way to read that. The simple way. For another valid interpretation they would have needed a bunch of these apostrophe gizmos.

     

    Looks like it's changed now:

     

    "Arrest over ‘hanging’ effigies of Rangers fans at Celtic game"

     

    Never mind bhoys, a good laugh while it lasted, eh, mischief makin' wee craturs that ye are.

  2. My late Grandfather originally hailed from Maryburgh and was a big County fan. As was his wee brother Harry who also passed away a couple of months back. IIRC, Harry and their sister Ina were both closely involved with Ross County for many years. I think Harry was groundsman for a time before moving to Muir of Ord golf club. Both he and Ina still lived in Maryburgh whilst Syd (my Grandfather) moved down to East Lothian and married my still living auld Granny!

     

    As such I've always held a close affinity to the club and will remember all the above privately as we play our first match at Ibrox against County since they were admitted to the Scottish league proper.

     

    I have probably exchanged jibes with your illustrious forebears. I repent.

     

    How's this for Highland hospitality. Well over half a century ago at a Highland League game, the muddy and bloody visiting left half wandered into the County committee room at half time on a day of freezing rain, asked for a cup of tea and was given one. Maybe it was your auntie Ina at the kettle.

  3. Thanks for that JFK but there was a third encounter, a Scottish Cup tie in Dingwall in the 1960s much postponed by weather. 0 - 2 to the Famous.

     

    For ridiculous, unjustifiable tribal reasons I've no liking for County but Ross-shire is generally Bear country and unlike most other clubs they missed us as we stumbled up the leagues. Also they know how to beat celtic.

  4. I expect Sturgeon with a high powered delegation is already airborne for Madrid to tell the Spanish government to get these Catalonian nationalists under control. ..... Oh, wait.

     

    I quite like the way she jets about Europe to find nobody in when she arrives.

  5. Am I right to think that one of the Assistant Referees on Saturday was Douglas Ross?

     

    If so, that is Douglas Ross MSP (Con) I wonder if he saw the hangings and if he has a view on it. I'm assuming the effigies were still dangling after the start of play.
