Liverpool F.C. v. Newcastle United F.C. (Friday) The title race is down to two clubs and these are not the two clubs. A place in Europe, however, is still very much up for grabs and these two clubs are in the thick of the race for it. Separated by only a single point, Liverpool and [...]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of putting together the Thursday Challenge every week is seeing the commenters come up with answers (and correct ones at that!) that I never anticipated. This week was no exception. Not only did Andrew M. and Dennis W. both answer all [...]

Aberdeen F.C. v. Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. (Saturday) As I may have mentioned a few weeks ago I feel I have to start watching the bottom of the Scottish Premier League table as the club that finishes last could be the one that Ross County replaces in the top flight. Aberdeen are probably safe, but [...]

I am pleased to report that for the first time in many weeks we had a commenter “clear the board” with correct answers to all of last week’s questions. I was thinking about sending Andrew M. some sort of Ross County swag to celebrate his accomplishment, but it turns out he already has a Ross [...]

Bradford City A.F.C. v. Southend United F.C. (Friday) As recently as 2000 Bradford were a Premier League club, now they are only one spot above being relegated from league football. I’m not sure how you fill Valley Parade (25,000+) as a conference club, but the Bantams may find out. Southend are in a very different [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Ayr United F.C. (Saturday) At what point am I allowed to start freaking out about what’s going on with my club? County still have a nine point lead over second place Falkirk and no matter what happens in this match or the next one against Dundee, the Staggies will be in [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Raith Rovers F.C. (Saturday) Can they make it ten in a row in all competitions? Quite possibly- Raith Rovers are in second to last place in the SFL First Division and they’ve only won once in their last five league matches. Should County win this match they could get some help [...]

Last week’s holiday-themed challenge was a “tough ask” and I’m not shocked that there was only one among who was able to correctly ascertain the answer to the first half of the question and that nobody was able to answer the second half of the question. Join me after the jump and I will reveal [...]

Scotland U16 v. England U16 (Friday) After the recent triumphant victory of Scotland’s U21 team over the Netherland’s U21 team I thought I’d go ahead and push my luck by previewing this “Victory Shield” match between Scotland and England. This tournament was first played in 1925, but it only became an annual event in 1990. [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Albion Rovers F.C. (Saturday) There was plenty of news at Ross County in the run up to this Scottish Cup match. The main news was that former Ross County youth player Alex Cooper, who was sold to Liverpool several seasons ago, has been signed by the Staggies for the remainder of [...]
