Mackie The Staggie

Well, the news we all feared but hopped would never happen. Mika has officially announced the sabbatical was not a sabbatical, but a retirement after all.......

Might want to change plans again....the Brora vs Brechin game is in Golspie this Sat (Brora doing drainage work on their pitch as somehow it's worse than Dundee's)

It's a lot more fun in the other half of the split. I liked the odd time we got there, no worries.....distant dreams of Europe and all the while being safe watching the carnage and heartache the other 3 or 4 teams were suffering.

That would explain why he wasn't in goals for the cup final against Invergordon.

Tempted to do a photography project and pick a game in the Preliminary round then follow the winners going forward. I think they have, there's a Loch Ness playing in the Inverness leagues and in the first round of the cup (unless is a different team with the same name)

Closed about 5/6 years back I think......

Bold to think anyone at the SPFL will be on the ball enough to post them on Thurs morning.....

It might be a bit unfair on Cowie to judge him..... ....but f**k it, he's utter dug shite and the sooner this horrible season finishes the better. My fear is if somehow we win the playoff (we are finishing 11th unless St Johnstone slip up) we will repeat the same mistake from last season by keeping the same manager on.

Man Utd fans have never really got over Shearer turning them down......

Looks like the Red Bull bosses are ready to swing the axes again, with Danny Ric being given a few races to improve his form before he's dumped for Liam Lawson.

Took the camera with me for the Inverness Atheltic vs Invergordon game. Invergordon settled any nerves with a goal within the first 5 mins, before making it 2-0 in the first half. Second half, Inverness were the better side and with the wind in their favour, but just couldn't get that final bit of magic in front of goal.

The only keeper I know to lose a thumb in a work related accident and for it to actually benefit his abilities in between the sticks. Serious question, if the worst happens and Caley go down, can they remain full-time or is it part-time football to reduce the wage bill as much as possible? I know Falkirk managed to keep it going but they were getting about a 1,000 (on average) more through the gates in League 1 than Caley are getting at the moment

Doubt Horner will get the sack as such, but we are seeing a power play for ownership of the team, hence the comment from Jos about Horner tearing the team apart (either that or Jos was doing his best Tommy Wiseau impression) Horner is apparently working with the Thai billionaire who owns 51% of Red Bull to buy out the team, this has lead him to bump heads against Marko who has the Verstappen's in his corner, hence why we are getting stories about Max leaving Red Bull which Horner previously laughed at but now appears to be willing to accept. https://thejudge13.com/2024/03/05/the-hidden-story-of-the-horner-bid-to-buy-red-bull-f1-racing/#:~:text=Red Bull F1 buyout behind,own only 49% are furious.

Careful now.....you'll be saying we are missing the dead ball corner delivery of Martin Woods next.

Ben Sulayem has been, so far, awful in the role. Just with respect to F1 he has managed to piss off every driver by saying they couldn't make any political statements without prior written permission and pissed off most (if not all F1 team managers) so much that he stepped back from F1 (not far enough it seems). His predecessor, Jean Todt, did nothing.....but at least by doing nothing he didn't screw things up
