If 2018 were to put somewhere else it surely cant be France given will be hosting the euro's in 2016. Germany had the world cup in 2006 so that would put a lot of noises out of joint as well. For a nation that's not had it in a while and is capable of stepping in at short notice the first country that springs to mind is Italy. Not hosted a tournament since 1990 and they have plenty top drawer stadia to boot. That's not to say they would be inclined to bid considering the nations recent financial difficulties but if they were Italy would be my preference.
Australia could be really interesting but it would be well expensive to get there from virtually everywhere.
Particularly in odd number years when there is no International tournament to take the edge off. What do y'all do to fill the football shaped hole in your life?
Formula one is a half cup of methadone every two weeks for me and I do love the darts but it's not the same. Festivals have become so bloody expensive and they are not as much fun when you don't have the twenty odd folk to go with because now everyone has a family. As such the summer has become a bit of a barren wasteland of boredom. hurumpf
Yeah it's great news manc, it sounds like it will be a facility to rival anything in Scotland. Far cry from the players training on the dog shit and weirdo laden seaton park
i thought we were alright in the first half. I don't read too much into friendly's, it was a warm up game at the end of the day. I can't quite believe i'm saying this but i really hope the English stuff the Irish, there's nothing friendly about that game and could do with the republic and their fans being a bit demoralised
What did you see off Brown at Cheltenham Baggy? I went onto a CTFC forum when we signed him and they all seemed pretty gutted he was going but he's not exactly set the heather alight at Pittodrie. Was he better at Cheltenham or was it just the standard was lower in their division?
Exactly. I've said before that there is a good chance DM will be the hun manager at some point in his career but I highly doubt he will join from us. That said we had better get used to other clubs casting envious eyes toward the our manager. Lets face it, if we perform better than we did last season next season his stock will rise further and he will likely be poached. Given what he would have to do to better last season that will likely be from a decent size club down south. Put it this way I would be far more concerned if WBA were expressing an interest. It's sad to admit but if he is still AFC manager this time two years from now I will be quite surprised.
There's a rumour going around that he fell off the wagon after losing his seat but I have no idea on the accuracy. Genuinely gutted by this, Charlie Kennedy was a one of the good guys. I never had the pleasure to meet him but my ex did on many occasions professionally. She worked in a hospital where a family member of his was residing and she said he was a very down to earth guy under very trying circumstances. RIP Charlie, you will be sorely missed.
What my county supporting pal thinks.
"He's a full back who has lost his pace which is why he now plays in the centre... good header and will score you goals from set pieces but he'll also make a mistake which will cost you a goal every 2/3 games from what I've seen..."
I would also add that I think ict play the best football to watch in Scotland. Still scratching my head how we were 4/4 against then this season yet dropped points to fucking st Mirren
I'm going, Inverness is my home and has been a long time. I'm happy to go make the numbers as it were. I know quite a few ict fans and would be chuffed for them if they do it and it would be great for the highlands also so it doesn't feel too much of a chore. One time deal though.

My flatmates mum lets us use her sky go and I pay for the sports package with her son. First time I've ever had sky sports, it's pretty awesome but I wouldn't pay for the whole thing
nemzadze, he was a player too. I wonder if dundee fans look back on those days, remember the dark times that followed twice and still come to the conclusion 'meh, it was worth it!'. What was the score anyway?
God no. He's on a two year deal, we're not broke anymore and unless he's got a 500k release fee in his deal we should treat any such offer with the derision it deserves.
