On occasion I’ve been accused of “not knowing when to stop” and “not being able to leave ‘well-enough’ alone,” among other things and this week’s challenge is a prime example of that. The list that makes up this question probably could have been a short as ten clubs long, but no, I couldn’t leave it [...]

As you may have noticed, yesterday I posted a brief reminder in the hope of getting more people to remember to send in their answers, and it worked- sort of. Henry J. emailed to tell me he was away on business and hadn’t been able to participate- it’s nice to know that there are still [...]

Tomorrow, at 9:30 DST (Dingwall Standard Time) Ross County F.C. will unveil its new 2011-2102 Home and Away uniforms in a photo-op/press conference at Victoria Park in Dingwall.

Week 15 was a great week for watching soccer. There were twelve Major League Soccer games, three CONCACAF Gold Cup matches, and seven of those fifteen were on national television. On the Pick’Em front, that allowed two of our pickers to make nearly 75% of their picks correct. Kudos to Green Eggs and daneekasghost who [...]

It has been over a month since the Ross County F.C. closed out the 2010-2011 SFL First Division season with a 3-0 victory over Cowdenbeath F.C. that not only guaranteed that the Staggies would remain in the First Division, but also condemned Cowdenbeath to the relegation playoffs and eventually demotion to the Second Division. Within [...]
