Gentleman, the end of season paint balling war has now been booked for the 30th June at the broom from 11.00 am.
Should have been £35 a head but due to fines money etc, we should be able to bring the price down to £25 ph. List will
be up in the RC from thurs so any budding soldiers who fancies their chances or basically anyone who wants to do over
steve kelly get your names down. All money to be paid on the day.

forgot 2 mention about bringing some beer tokens as we'll meet up in the club afterwards for a pre ROM sesh

Stormin Norman Schwarzkop:
Steve Kelly will be armed to the teeth and follows his US marine training of 'shoot first ask questions later'
implicitly. This makes him a very dangerous foe and very hard to do over young croogan.

Robbie Shepherd:
How would a member of the public who wished to attend the aforesaid event obtain a ticket if they did not have access
to Mr Choco's mobile number or email address.
Are they available at all good retail outlets - or behind the bar?
What say you tell us old bean.

Today is gonna be the day that gonna throw it back to you, by now you should have somehow realised what you've
gotta do, I dont believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now.....

Lector:
Hmm, interesting point Mr G, but despite the fact that some of your acolytes have wrongly supposed that your
doctrines have relieved them of the need to justify a belief in an apparent symbiosis , Bewwy is right to suggest that
the “jauntily unphilosophical" way in which your most popular song writing simply ignores the Wittgensteinian
dilemmas is disappointing, and explains why its explanations of the sources of societal belief are so jejune. Could this
explain the, almost, acrobatic volte-face with regards to your feelings about the person in question? I think this
debate will surely run and run, what do others think?

Lector, You and jimmy lupton must have some great chats in the van when you're on your tea break!

Lector:
Unfortunately, conversations between James and myself rarely ascend above the musings of inveterate purveyors of the
scatological, reminiscent of ‘Derek and Clive’ and accompanied by in-depth accounts of the picaresque adventures of the
aforesaid James.
It is quite frustrating that I can find no colleagues, or indeed friends, with which I can converse freely about those
subjects that are so dear to my heart, such as poetry, ballet, modern art and old tractors.
We did try to complete the cryptic crossword from the SUN one lunchtime but James lost interest and sought solace in his
well thumbed copy of ‘Razzle’ magazine. I’m sure it was one of mine but I held my tongue, he is the boss after
all.

others who would be willing to become involved in some way with either coaching or assisting with the various tasks

No experience required - any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Past coaches who have "had a rest" would

I liked the one were billy joined the opposition huddle & had their captain yelling at him & telling him

Andy:
who can forget the £5 note with Shade Monroe after the GHK game but my favourite is from the Sunday after Onny's stag

remember the rest...

Wee Jock Poo Plop McPong:
I love the opposition huddle incident-typical Billy!
Anyway, Bob The Builder once told me that his true claim to fame was knocking-out a British & Irish Lion;one Doddie
Weir, many moons ago.
He has been a superb player, in several positions, and will be a BIG loss to the club. The youngsters would do well to
model themselves on William...
Incidentally, he's also a dab-hand when a bit of quality construction is required.

Minto, the folically challenged Wonder, reckoned the only difference between Annan & Irvine was the sin-
binning. I beg to differ; for the 1st quarter, most of our passing was sloppy, school-boy stuff. It should also be borne
in mind that Irvine's first two tries came from turnover ball-one we can just about live with but two illustrated the
difference between winning and losing at this level...Oh, it should also be noted that our lineout has not functioned to
an acceptable standard in the last couple of games. Ah, the basics...
Having said this lot, it was the 2nd-best game I've seen at home this season. It was a super performance against a very
good and physical bunch of lads with some slick backs. Yup, it must auger well for next season when, based on some of
this seasons performances, we must, surely, be able to hold our own.
Roll-on next season.
the fat pirate:
Have to agree somewhat with wee Jock Paul. the turnovers cost us dear cos we would have been out of sight at half
time otherwise we were in such control. I have to say that although young Griff played very well in general, he is not
the carrier to take ball into contact(ala Andy render) and as last week at Langholm he got turned over on a couple of
aoccassions. I know young Dunbar has'nt trained for a while but that has been his roll this season giving the team some
go forward that has been missing of late, I think its a case of play to your strengths and use the players to our
advantage. A great effort though and a good crop of young players to compliment Stevie, Billy & Choco

Don't think Masher will be playing as he's now a referees assessor.
He could be heard on Saturday offering advice from the sidelines; either the ref was too thick to act on it or perhaps

It was Langholm 3 Annan 12. Our first victory over at Milntown - sweet!

Irvine have had a great season - going up to Premier 3(possibly as champions). They have a bone to pick with us from
2003. However, we know what we can do! All of the teams left in the Shield are absolute crackers. If we can lift our
game another couple of notches......

Bazz:
It was 12-3 alright, thats why Craig's last pen kick was so significant. C'mon Gus don't listen to these second rate
reports.
|
Gus:
I've always said it was 12-3....dont know what you are talking about... ;)
Also - just to say - Caithness video higlights now online- and Linlithgow will be up sometime today (Sunday).

They must be getting better. I only had to call them Dirty F******g children of unmarried parents once! then again i

call their supporters.

Regarding the scandalous revelations emanating from the cricket world cup, to whit, 'match rigging', are we seeing the
same thing going on at Violetbank?
It all seems a bit too pat that once 'three', i.e. un-bonussed tries, are scored, the team visibly eases back on the
gas. Saturday was a prime example, the first half being a breathtaking bravura display of inventive rugby, bamboozling
the hapless visitors into chasing shadows. The second half was the exact opposite!! Is the fact that Paul Buckley was
seen emerging from William Hill, later on, lighting a cigar with a tenner by any way related? I think we should be told.

From Monday's P&J
Ellon's march on Murrayfield in the National Shield came to an abrupt and dramatic halt deep into injury time when
Annan's Kevin Jones intercepted a slack pass from stand off Mark Ryan. The full-back ran from under his own posts to
dive over the Ellon line leaving centre Craig McCann with the easiest of kicks to seal a 28-27 win. Coach Kevin Wyness
was livid with his side's capitulation, particularly as they had surged back from 18-3 down. "We threw it away
sitting back on our lead. We knew we were playing a form team but got what we deserved. Our lineout play was
terrible," said Wyness.
hairy:
Form team?
didn't we lose our last game?
I take it our lineout play was top notch Smithy?
Well done lads

Let's have everyone out in force supporting the lads against Linlithgow and Caithness the next two Saturdays. If
Ellon was anything to go by, we are now right in the mood to finish the league campaign in style.By the way, if the
Annan lads had read the pre-match article in the Aberdeen Press and Journal, I think they would have taken even greater
delight in rubbing Ellon's noses right in it!
cmc:
any way we can get a copy of the articly don?
|
Press+ Journal:
8:50 - 16 March 2007
Ellon's chances of reaching their third Murrayfield final have been lifted by run of good form which should enable the
Premiership 3 side to progress to the National Shield last eight at the expense of Annan tomorrow.
Home advantage, combined with the likelihood of the visitors from National League 2 fielding a weakened side, should set
up a quarter-final tie with the winners of the Strathendrick versus Langholm match.
"In the last three games we have shown our mettle and a new-found potency in our back division which should put us
through," said director of rugby Alex Duncan.
"We are also starting to display some steel up front, making me pretty certain we can go back to Murrayfield in
April."
Club captain and prop Bob Kenny is out, but is replaced by Stuart Noble. Tod Paterson is back at scrum half where his
vast experience will improve Ellon's chances of progressing.
Full back Steven Aitken is on Scotland under-18 duty, but again Simon McWellie is a quality replacement.
Duncan said: "Simon is one of the more perceptive players in the game. There is no reason why we should not go on
to win the shield, particularly as the dry conditions will suit the backs."
|
Lec:
Come on people, should we really be exulting in the misery of others? Are we, as a club, not above this crude
exhibition of shadenfreude? Nah, thought not, whoopee, mines a pint Bewwy.

OK - let's get the craic going again! I hear that Don Barty is running touch at Ellon this week. Is he not getting
a bit old for that kind of thing?
annan fan:
talking of getting old for rugby.I hear a few old players are finishing at the end of this season like billy
chocolate lector belly andy shag kieth hogg tam and cash. any of this true!!
|
Arch Stanton:
everyone has to retire sometime, good innings for all these guys though, well done. Seems that the youth teams may be
leaving too, I hear. Tragedy.
|
blackie:
youth teams leaving ? enlighten us im not up to speed with the youths been too busy trying to get through the season
from hell
|
Steve Jancey:
yes what are you talking about arch please let us all know
|
arch stanton:
as I said at the end of my comment " the youths may be leaving, I HEAR" The bit at the end signifies
hearsay. I hear the youths have been told there may be changes to the coaching arangements for next season. I hear also
that if folk dont like the alleged changes " they can please themselves and walk" I hear also that the youths
may move to other teams if the alleged changes do go ahead. What a tragedy that would be. Unbeaten for two seasons on
the trot, potentially the future of annan rugby club in their hands, or in someones hands. Lets preserve and not
destroy.
|
blackie:
thats strange cos the you talk about must be within the youth ranks as nothing has been discussed at the senior club
kenny paul and the boys are busy trying to gain promotion and im desperatly trying to get my boys playing games next
year has never been mentioned yet
|
Don Barty:
Whoah! I'm sorry - the Club does not need and does not want "hearsay". Next seasons's team and coaching
arrangements (for seniors and juniors) have not yet been reviewed - but will be fully discussed and agreed upon in an
open and transparent manner - and this will happen in due course before the end of May.
|
groggy:
Is Arch Stanton wired up properly or is he just a shit stirrer?
|
Arch stanton:
not either groggy, pure and straightforward concern for the junior game, the concern is that there are rumours or
fact based rumours flying around and it is unsettling the youngsters and coaches alike. All the lads want is to know
what is to happen next year. Now, if you think that is shit stirring or that i am not wired up, then i would suggest you
go and bile yer heed.
|
Don:
I really think this thread should stop - and I would be extremely disappointed if it didn't.

tones of GB on vocals.
Returning to the Clubhouse soon for a fundraiser - get your tickets early and start saving the beer tokens.

grossly unfair and unreasonable at such short notice and have made representation to the SRU. We realise that the

Much better in the cars, the 'bus' invariably metamorphoses into a three ring circus. It becomes impossible to sit in
quiet contemplation when 'Animal House' is being re-enacted all around you by a cast of shreiking nincompoops and
blundering dullards. No offence Belly, just a personal observation.
|
belly:
there is no way in this world did lector write that last message.
1) he can't pronuce or spell metamorphoses and he cant spell niconpoops.
2)he aint playing again this season!!
i think there is rat in this guestbook!!!
Thanks for the information alan.Maybe we will get a bus for our last league game away!!
|
blackie:
belly i just wondered your reason for wanting to have a bus ?
|
Lector -Le Grand Taureau:
Well, Mr Belly, that was quite hurtful and unwarranted and for your information I can sut spell all those words and
'prestidigitation' too.
Big Watt and I always converse with each other in this fashion, when there's nobody else around (spoil the street cred,
ken like), nevertheless I do take your point that I'm not playing this season and should not contribute my thoughts on
this forum, however this is but a hiatus as I am taking a sabbatical from the game and will re-engage battle next
season, batteries recharged, fit as a butchers wife and booze-free, ready to rend asunder the assumptions of those
benighted souls who would deem my position as their own. Get ready to eat turf suckahs!
By the way, Belly, I must stand by earlier comments regarding the bus, god only knows how any right thinking soul can
reflect meaningfully in the midst of that bedlam.

Observing these arrangements from a distance I can see that Bazz needs guidance from a time-served master like
Onnie. Perhaps Onnie you could take him on as an OkiDoki Co Ltd apprentice? Does Bazz have a name for his travel
company?
Bazz:
Arrangements are going swimmingly Paul, thanks for your concern though. I’m sure grand master Onny will agree that
all trips such as this experience minor problems which are easily ironed out, it’s just that we are communicating in a
public forum that you are hearing about it.
Pud & I haven’t thought about a name for our travel company but suggestions are welcome. Of course Paul if you fancy
ditching the family for the weekend to go on a fantastically well organised jaunt to Cardiff this summer your very
welcome.
|
Bertie:
Given that there is a rugby link and you are Scottish how about Rucking Thistle Tours?
|
onny who else:
Paul much as I would like Bazz to be my apprentice I'm afraid I have already commited myself to the one and only
Shrek or should I say Muff.
I also employ Big Stuff as the slush fund burser, a position which he takes very seriously seeking out the best places
for everyone to enjoy themselves.
Time is nigh for organising next years haunt to Dublin so posters will be up soon in the club perhaps you might be able
to get special dispensation next year to attend Paul whats your thoughts on that?
|
minto:
Onny, thank you for the early notice of the Oki Doki classic tour to the land of the blarney.One year is about the
length of time required to negotiate that deal [... as Pud and PC will soon discover]. I'm trying to think of a title
for the Bazz & Pud travel co. Something that describes a large group of hobbit-like creatures migrating from middle
earth seems appropriate but I've not got the right words yet. Any suggestions out there?
|
the fat pirate:
how about a simple Hobbit Holidays
|
Arthur Askey:
To add an alliterative and descriptive extension to Mr Fat Pirate's label, how about 'Honking Hobbit's Halcyon
Holidays' - and if that's a bit of a mouthful, how about 'Midget Gems', they're a mouthful too, geddit?
|
minto:
I like the suggestions above.I feel we need to reflect the feeling of stout young hobbits stumbling from the Shire
into a big bad world full of danger.
|
Andy R:
How about Orc Odyssey or for the less classically trained Orc Outings
|
the fat pirate:
While it is a fantastic name for the company Andy i feel it would be a mis-interpretation under the trade description
act as the Orc is a giant of a being ,while fearsome & aggressive, which is in sharp contrast to our cuddley wee
hobbits!
|
Pud:
As the saying goes Chuff "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" and I am more than confident those
tucking into the Cardiff pudding in June will be more than satisfied. Is your mouth watering?
p.s - get your deposits in the party bus is booked.
|
minto:
Pud, yes, I'm jealous. I'll be watching CeeBeeBees and changing nappies while you bandits will be ripping up the
dance floor in Cardiff Bay.

PC’s stag do 08/06/07 – 11/06/07 – to keep costs low we are now travelling to Cardiff by coach, we have estimated
this will take the same amount of time as flying from Glasgow and allows us much more flexible departure times. To
ensure a place on the trip please supply myself or Pud with a £50 (preferably cash) deposit a.s.a.p.
Onny, I hear you have booked a flight to Cardiff so to get back on the Sunday? If you want to cancel your outbound
flight and come on the bus then I’m sure we can come to a financial arrangement that is equally beneficial.
Obliged.

Everholm and erecting posts for us (for which we are extremely grateful), the heavens have opened once again and
rendered even the Everholm unplayable. I have been a bit dismayed by some of the posts in another thread regarding
Violetbank. We have been as proactive as we could have been over the years, bearing in mind finances available at any
given time. You can rest assured that professional experts will be consulted and money spent at the end of this season
as far as our budget will allow. That, at the moment, is the Club's top financial priority. If there are any other
amateur experts of the armchair variety who would like to advise the Club on the best way forward, please

Having had a wee look at the new creichton pitch and others around recently, and in view that they have all had the
same amount of rain that Annan has, why is the violetbank pitch not only waterlogged but, judging by the smell all
around the pitch, dying?? Allegedly, some eastern asians were shooed off on tuesday night after attempting to plant
rice. Is it drainage to blame, it is an elevated position above the town so there should be an element of natural
gravitational drainage. The same problem existed this time last year. It seems there will be no recovery until the
spring at least and with the backlog of home league games at all levels, the lads will surely be playing until june! Is
there a review underway of the drainage system or are heads being buried in the sand ,[or violetbank mire]. Not being
critical but concerned that, at the end of the day, we are losing out on games.
Border Kid:
Just a wee correction 'arthur' - the same situation did not exist last season as no 1st XV games were postponed due
to a waterlogged pitch
|
Border Kid:
.....and there was only one 2nd XV game postponed due to a frozen pitch!
|
ron manager:
well roger me sideways me hearty, that makes it better then, no worries mate. flippers instead of boots ooh, jumpers
for goalpoasts, you know ooh.
|
grave next 2 Arch Stanton:
Think the problem did exist last year border kid, maybe not as many postponements but certainly a waterlogging
problem. Well said arthur.
|
Border Kid:
Just check the match reports on this site and you will see that there was no games postponed due to waterlogged
pitches last season
|
PC:
There was also nowhere near as much rain last year. It seems to have rained non-stop since november.
Don't know why VB is in a worse state than other pitches, just commenting on why no games were postponed last year due
to waterlogging.
Is waterlogging also a term used when someone shits in the bath?????
|
Bertie:
Nice one PC - have to submit that one to the Oxford Dictionary! I can asure everyone that heads aren't being buried
in the mire and the problems are being addressed by the Committee but as PC says, there has been a hell of a lot more
rain this year. We are constantly seeking advice on the problem but unfortunatley this doesn't solve the short term
problems. If anybody out there has sensible solutions, we would be happy to consider them!
|
A. Wurrum:
Again border kid, I never said that there were more games postponed last year, simply that the waterlogging problem
was evident then. Look at the corner where the scoreboard is, you could lose a body in there, in fact has anybody seen
cashus this year!! Are you saying then that there is no problem?? It is simply down to the weather?? Have you actually
been up to see?? Can you not smell the surface?? It smells like a septic tank in some areas, which is maybe due to the
fact that the drainage is poor and the grass, soil and bacteria are dying. There are people that are specialists in this
field [not intended] who are associated with the club who would gladly offer advice and practical solutions to this
problem. Lets sort it oot!
|
angel eyes:
with regards to arch stanton unk unkn unk there is no name on it blondie
|
Border Kid:
Border Kid:
'Arthur' I think you mean the 'cemetry corner' on the other side. I think you will find if you had asked a committee
member, or read the committee minutes as some of us do, you would find that the problem has being investigated and that
unfortunately whilst remedial action has been taken over the last few seasons, on specialist advice, financial
constraints at the end of last season meant that the remedial action could not be carried out. Hence the worsening
conditions this season aggravated by the wettest winter on record following on from the 2nd wettest on record. What
annoyes me is that the 'half empty glass brigade' always seem to assume that the Club committee doesn't care and are on
some sort of ego trip. The only reason the club exists is because of the efforts of these people and several others who
are not on the committee but are willing to work for the future of the club. Rant over!! by the way I'm from the 'half
full glass brigade' and look forward to watching rugby in the spring - only joking 'Arthur'
|
Annan Fan #6:
Cool - so looks like plans are afoot to get VB fixed. I think the club realise now the importance of spending money
on the remedial action.
I think BK and AW should kiss and make up - the world would be a better place. Both are thinking about the future of the
pitch and Annan RFC - can only be a good think
Annan Fan #6

Tuco:
hey angel eyes, dont die on me , I kill 'em all.
|
A. Wurrum:
Re-border kid, it always amazes me that people go right on the defensive when any problems are discussed. I also read
with interest your comment that the club would not exist if it were not for the commitee and a few others. Perhaps if
there were no memebers then the club would not exist! If you were a golfer and paid to join a club then you would be a
bit dismayed if you couldn't access the course. I'm not against you BK nor am I being critical, simply concerned, as I
stated in my first rant, that we are losing out on rugby, which is what the club is all about.
|
Ed:
Nice to see some concern being shown over the maintenance of VB, let's hope it we can turn it into positive action.
Unfortunately, it is costly to maintain VB (financially and timewise) and in our present state we just can't afford it.
We can all alleviate the situation to some extent, though, just use the club a little bit more and maybe volunteer to
help out in some way occasionally. Things seem to have been looking up lately, certainly on the playing side, we just
need to up our game in other areas.

Warrant out for missing man
By Karen McVeigh
DETECTIVES investigating the case of a man who has been missing for nearly four months fear he may have been the victim
of a diarrhoea attack after getting lost on his way home.
Police yesterday revealed that *****, 52, sent a series of worrying text messages shortly after he was last seen late in
the evening of St Lubrication's Day. (names hidden to protect the guilty)
It may have absolutely nothing to do with it, of course but.....

Don has just informed that Saturday's game is definitely on, but at Annan Academy
don:
Yes - the game is definitely ON. Highland required notification tonight due to hotel booking. Changing will be at
Violetbank. The pitch has two or three very soft parts, but generally speaking it is in pretty good nick considering the
volume of rain we have had recently. CALLING ALL WILLING HELPERS - some additional forking of parts of the pitch may be
required. If you can lend a hand with this on Saturday morning, phone Colin McCann - 201032. Thanks!

Just wondering what the festive fixture list looks like? Is the Chisholm cup up for grabs as usual?
PC:
Alreet bobus? Possibly playing stewartry on 23rd as a rearranged league game at home.
Playing dumfries away on 30th.
Highland then pirates this week though. Aaaaaarrrrrr.
When you down and how long for mate?

Bobski:
How do PC? Back on 21st, and about till the 7th. Good to see there are some games on, will be there to shout abuse
from the touchline. You know it

Don:
Chisholm Cup will be played for against Stewartry when the fixture is re-arranged - but that will NOT be on December
23rd. Stewartry are due to play Duns on that date. The next standby date is 17th March I think. There is also the
possibility of fitting in a fixture on/the night before an International Saturday. So it's Highland on the 16th,
Dumfries on the 30th and Garnock on 6th January.

Andy:
Looking at the league table this is still very much a 5 horse race with a lot of big games coming up in the new year,
great result on Saturday to win and break the hoodoo but that was the least that was required to keep up with the other
teams.
|
Vorder Carolman:
Dear Gus, in your summary of the game from saturday on the 'latest news' page you state this was 'an historic win'.
Is this not bad grammar? I hear this term often on news channels and on radio programs and each time I do, i cringe.
Surely you only use 'an' when the next word begins with a vowel. As historic begins with 'h' should it not be 'a
historic win' ? Or does it come from cockney, 'an 'istoric win' I'm not picking on you but if these sort of englishisms
dont stop soon I will be forced to march down to downing street and kick tony blair right up the dungtube and demand
'an'official explaination. This would probably result in 'a'historic paper being written on how to speak proper and also
to write proper. Unless of course joe is his educational spokesperson, and thin wee arr oll inn bothir.
|
AlanR:
quote from 'English Usage 2005' - a historic or an historic - which form you use seems to be little more than a
personal preference. Both usages are sufficiently common to be considered correct in modern English.
Dinnae mess wi ma laddie Voder Carolman
|
Gus:
Vorder Carolman - apologies - you may find quite a lot of grammatical errors on these pages...I blame the teachers at
Annan Academy...anyway if you place your mouse arrow on the headline...it will change just for you....always glad to
help
|
Theo Saurus:
Vorder,
You may wish to use grammar and spellcheck prior to leaving silly comments.
Anomolous these things mazy appear, when was the last time you stayed in an hotel?
|
minto:
strewth, debates about grammar in the English language. I must have ventured onto the wrong web site.
Who thinks Andy Farrell will make it at inside centre?
|
Arthur Mullard:
Here here Mr Minto, can we at last get back to the subject of which this esteemed journal should really be about?
Yes, rugby!
Now Minty, if indeed I may call you that, let us indulge in some philosophical musings, to whit ‘Will Mr Andrew Farrell
make it (sic) at inside centre?’
Ah, at the moment I feel this statement is but a theoretical hypothesis, his play, of late has had a certain patina and
stylized artifice, not totally convincing to this observer.
However, our own young Mr Smith, when on his game, is sheer poetry, his angles of running a bravura piece of balletic
perfection, its physical arc as perfectly composed and realised as a Bach Fugue.
Discuss.
|
Vorder Carolman:
Sorry Alan, didna mean to mess wi yer laddie, it was just an big mistake. I just think its an travesty of the english
language and it obviously comes from the southern softies lack of prefixing an 'H' in front of their words. An 'istoric,
an 'ipocrite, an 'ippopotamus and so on ad infinitum. jeest makes ma blood bile so it diz.
|
ODDBALLS:
Well Minto and Mullard the answer according to ex wallaby coach Eddie Jones is that Farrell and Walker both from
rugby league are starting to hit form.Making Andy Robinsons enforced departure a trifle unlucky we shall see.
|
minto:
Yes, the rugby league players are looking impressive. Remember the Lions winning in S.Africa with ex-RL players -
Alan Tait and Bentley on the wings.I'd pick Farrell and I'd bet on him being their top performer at RWC 2007...should
help them into 6th place.
|
Oddballs:
So if England come 6th in the world cup 2007 who should come above them.What do you think the order will be in the
six nations.
|
minto:
Yes,
1.NZ.2.Fr.3Oz.4Ire.5.RSA 6.Eng

I have it on good authoratah that two players will miss the Duns game because they are going to see the Billy Elliot
musical (or is it the BooBoo Elliot musical). Keith Hogg told me that if he done that Boss Hogg would have beaten him to
an inch of his life, which in a quirky way mirrors the Billy Elliot tale. Discuss.

who remembers me.

Just a couple of quick things from committee meeting the other night. A note of apprecaition to Dave 'Dinger' Bell
for all his hard work with the youths on Sundays - even down to making the soup on a Saturday night - good work fella!
Congratulations to Belly and good luck in the Scottish Deaf game against the English Deaf Team this Saturday - get it up
them! And finally - volunteers wanted for a tidy-up up at Violetbank on Sunday 26th November at 12pm - cleaning up the
garage and other places - all help appreciated!
Help what`s that?:
Hope you have success in getting volunteers!! Word of advice - be better to ask people direct - never appear to get
volunteers!! Same folk that do a bit of everything.

Video Clips from the 1sts game v Glasgow Accies now online (see link at top of page).
Full highlights should be up by lunchtime.

I don`t believe it!!:
Can`t believe Annan played in the conditions that appear apparent on the video clips!! What`s the chances of the
games being played this week?

belly:
very slim by looks of the weather tonight. If the game is off why you dont you all go up and watch the scottish deaf
play england deaf at braidholm glasgow.
|
Isle of the seventies:
If the games are off, perhaps it would be a good idea to go and support Belly, there'd be no hesitation in the old
days, flag down a shooting break and away. But as Belly often sings,
those days are gone now and autumn sleeves lie deep and crisp and even........

Now the season has turned half way it looks like Garnock are the serious threat to our promotion. Can we beat them at
their place?

was just wondering if there was any games planned on a fri night under the floodlights. would reckon if there was a
1st vs the 2nd or an over 28s vs under 28s. i think that would be a great entertaining game.

why over and under 28s baz u still wanna play for th young guns? ur getting old like old r u?

rob andrew:
over 28s to beat the under 28 by 12 points amigo!!!

it would be more of a game if it was over 38ths v under 38ths

URGENT
The Caithness game is OFF.
Their pitch is waterlogged
Alan Robertson
Ed:
Aye right it is!
Hairy and me are still going.
|
Ed:
Just heard that the game's been re-arranged for Dec 23rd,
that right?
Could be puffin for crimbo dinner.
|
griff:
dec 23rd that mite b my works nite out boo hoo mite aswell ave christmas up there then
|
Bazz:
Re-arranging the game to 23rd December would, in my opinion be a ludicrous decision!! I would have to stay in on
Black Eye Friday.
|
Dunbar Hospital 5.10.59:
If my early childhood memories serve me correctly Caithness will need to have floodlights for a 2pm kick-off at that
time of year. Tak a torch with ye.
No gamesmanship involved here is there? Or am I being cynical!
|
Now Annan Now:
SRU rules state that game should be played on the first avlaible free Saturday - the 23rd December is that Saturday
for the SRU. I think we all know it wont be played on that day as there will be little chance that the pitch would be
playable and even if it was - the clubs are allowed decide on a different date if there are appropriate circumstances
(it being on the 23rd December and 350 miles away seems good enough to me!!!)
|
AlanR:
Indeed the 23rd December is the first date setaside by the SRU for rescheduled matches, however, Garnock are in front
of us in the queue for that date having had their game at Thurso cancelled last week - damitt!!!
|
Ed:
What's the matter with the 23rd December? I'll bet there's a good 'Black Eye Friday' in Inverness for Bazz too. Of
course, all you guys who have been told that they are going shopping (like it or not), won't make it. Boo hoo, poor
lightweights.
|
Annan Academical:
The line in the preview that "Annan have never played Caithness at any level" is not quite accurate. Annan
Academy beat Caithness HS in the Schools Cup in the early 1990s (ask Colin "Are you tired of living son"
McCann for confirmation) If memory serves we were horsed at home by St Aloysious in the next round
|
Dave Fisher:
More recently Annan Academy beat Thurso HS in Thurso in Nov 2002 before going out of the cup to Glasgow Academy, who
had one Johnny Beattie playing , in the next round.
The score escapes me but it was not a "horseing"
|
Pud:
Caithness should be thrown out of the league for spoiling Kevs, hairy's and my weekend- chumps

The weekend report should have read that the youth team scored 11 tries instead of the 10 I mistakenly reported.
The missing try was a belter from Callum Bell, and also there were 3 conversions not 5 as I stated. Final score 61-0 in
annans favour although in accordance with SRU rules 'only' 60 points can be recorded. Apologies to all offended by my
inaccuracies.
