Emiliano Sala & the missing plane
DutchBorderer replied to DutchBorderer's topic in Misc Other Fitba Chat
My post referred to JamieStevenson's earlier post and the fact that the goon squad on Twitter is outraged that they quit searching for Sala after just a handful of days, whereas McCann had a much longer period of the area being combed for her. Of course, that's wholly bypassing the fact that you'll survive four to five hours at most drifting about in the sea at this time of year, whilst there were no immediate clues to suggest McCann had died - the comparison is apples and pears. Messi also got in on the debate, asking for searches to resume; -
Emiliano Sala & the missing plane
DutchBorderer replied to DutchBorderer's topic in Misc Other Fitba Chat
I shouldn't be surprised people don't know the difference between a single prop plane having crashed into the sea and a criminal inquiry involving the kidnapping of a minor, but then I probably give folk too much credit anyway. -

I'm getting the distinct feeling Johnny shagged someone's mom back in the day. -
The General Ross County Chat Thread
DutchBorderer replied to yoda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Thanks for the kind words everyone, and for taking the time to read my work; I'll go contact the club's social media accounts and see if they'd be willing to give it a share on Twitter and Facebook. -

I would assume that, at such transfer sums, some form of insurance must be involved. Interesting footnote to the sad overall story. -

Aye, didn't see that as I never check the Premier League thread. Figured it was worth a thread (and in all honesty that might be better considering the level of patter going on). -

The General Ross County Chat Thread
DutchBorderer replied to yoda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I knew I got something wrong, thanks for spotting that. I don't think there is an official reasoning behind the flowing lines in the crest, but mentioning the Peffery seemed relevant. Might be a reference to hills or a different body of water instead. -
The General Ross County Chat Thread
DutchBorderer replied to yoda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Morning lads, I run a small site/blog about special and otherwise interesting football tops and their design. I got the Staggies' home kit over the Christmas period what with the price drop, just to write an article about it; if you guys fancy giving it a read and correct me if I got something about the club wrong, I'd be rather grateful; https://club25football.wordpress.com/2019/01/21/ross-county-fc-2018-2019-home-shirt/ -
Berwick Rangers 2018/2019 Thread
DutchBorderer replied to Redcar's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
What drives a man to go into a hostile thread purely to ineffectively harp on about a manager trying to boost morale with some positivity? I know hope and a clear vision for the future have been alien concepts in Cowden in recent years, but ffs get a grip of yourself. Never mind that Robbie Horn resigned, which remains the official manner of departure. -
Berwick Rangers 2018/2019 Thread

I can't blame Harvey for anything; this season has been a shambles from the start, he came in under tough circumstances to inherit a squad that lacked cohesion and quality, suffering from bad morale and weekly beatings. Yes, Stirling and Albion Rovers seem to have improved more under their new managers than we have under ours, but then there is no point in comparing as all three clubs started on unequal footing. You need time to galvanize a squad and get familiar with a new style of play - I appreciate that we might noth ave much time but it's better than panicking (even more) and trying to shithouse our way to safety. We've fired two managers that, I truly believe, were capable of good results, and we've been worse off as a result. Hoping that the third time will be the charm would be slightly naive at best I mentioned being happy with 8th place in 18/19 on the very first page of this thread, but now I'd snatch your hand off if you offered a guaranteed 9th place finish. Just let this season be over as quick as possible. -

Although I have admittedly not found any similar record in the British Isles, we can rest assured there is at least one continental team doing worse than us; the well-known behemoths of Bulgarian football, FK Vereya Stara Zagora -

All the best for Gary, Jamie, and John. Unavoidable to have to cut players when you've got this many in the squad. -

Forest Green Rovers were forced to tear up their contract with hummel after not getting the promised home and away kits well over a month into the season. They then signed with English manufacturer PlayerLayer, who knocked out some decent tops in just under a month's time.

Cheers, we were wondering where it had gone. -
Can't disagree, and now his goalie managed to land himself in jail over attacking a rail conducter on the train after last week's match.

Berwick Rangers 2018/2019 Thread
DutchBorderer replied to Redcar's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
WIth the previous thread having disappeared overnight, it's high time we got a new one to host general BRFC chatter. After beating Albion Rovers 3 to 5, the Black & Gold have lost three matches in a row with the most recent being a 2-3 v. Clyde, with the Bully Wee overcoming a two goal deficit to beat us at Shielfield. The next match on the fixture list is Edinburgh City at Spartans' home ground, which will be as tough as they come with considering ECFC are sitting on 21 points from 8 matches in the League. Hopefully Robbie can use training this week to have the existing squad gel with the new loanees (Dabrowski, Hurst, Hamilton) and Mcilduff ahead of three pivotal ties in October; Gretna (Cup) and Cowden will visit Shielfield, followed by a visit to Forthbank where we face the only team to have lost a competitive fixture v. Albion Rovers this season. This thread is sponsored by my daft wee site about football shirts; https://club25football.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/matchworn-berwick-rangers-2017-2018-home-shirt/
