Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this fine sunny day here in Finland .I hope all are well and enjoy the day today . I got in our Juke yesterday and there was a strange noise as if a branch was caught on the tyre ,it went after 100m and we drove about a Km ,when we got back there was no strange noise but I thought I would check things out .The gearbox ( CVT ) was as dry as a bone ,I had some in stock so I put two litres in and when I started it up there was a drip per second onto the ground .We had no warning light and we have no idea when or how but it is serious ,best case scenario is a burst pipe ,worst a new gearbox . the biggest problem is the Jag is not MOT'ed so we are stranded our nearest neighbour sold their car months ago ( which prompted the Jag purchase ) .Have a great day all I will be mostly fixing cars .COYB

At least you can! Surely you noticed a pool of oil under your car?
 
Morning everyone,

Well that was a major let down yesterday.

To finish the transfer window having lost 3 centre halves - one of whom when fit was our best - and replace with a very promising youngster was nothing short of negligent but clearly reflects the state of our finances and terrible management at the club.

There is absolutely no creativity in midfield and whilst Beto looked great against Donny Rovers if he gets injured we are absolutely knackered.

And don't even get me started on what team we will field during the African Nations Cup.

I fear that Moshiri has lost any last shred of interest.

Massive game today for the league but more importantly confidence.

Anyway sod it , I'm concentrating on Lesvos tomorrow.

Hope you have a lovely weekend everyone.

Completely agree. I hadn't even considered the African Nations Cup! Have a great holiday.

Mate, I'm just hoping they aren't in contention / invited along to the AFCON, or we're fubared as losing either or both of Doucouré and Gueye would be horrific.

In terms of Moshiri, he's now simply looking to protect his investment now as much as he can until he sells up partially or entirely.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy the final few days of the cricket season with my son after I've watched him play football.

I think that both Doucoure and Gana are scheduled to go unfortunately.
 

Morning all, bit of a strange one this transfer window. I think people have to be careful what they wish for, believing that players aren’t good enough and wanting them out of the club. Our stark reality is that currently we will never attract players who we think are good enough. I am shocked at the size of our squad. It can only be FFP because I don’t think it makes medium term sense from a business point of view to sell your assets, unless the money promised by MSP ain’t coming.
Anyway, I’m still looking forward to today’s game and hope we see the new guys.
It’s a glorious morning here so I might be tempted to have a day in the garden. I bet you‘re excited for tomorrow @jazzy and not long for you either @anjelikaferrett. If you haven’t already try an ouzo and orange fanta (or ezi is their version) - very refreshing and given Greek measures it really hits the spot.
Enjoy the game those who are watching COYBs

Ouzo and lemonade for me and Mrs J

No We have a gravel road and there was no sign at all ,I got under after taking the front assembly off and found the problem it is a rubber hose to steel pipe on the oil cooler and in trying to get both hands into a space big enough for one I finally clipped the end off the rubber hose and replaced it ,for it to leak even more ! The best thing was it started to rain, with tummy exposed I was given the experience of it being battered with raindrops and I quite enjoyed it ! So I abondoned the massage for now to be resumed at another time :rolleyes:
 
Morning all , not unexpectedly I tested positive for Covid this morning, 2days after Mrs bl, but all the signs have been there , cough, aches, cold etc and annoyingly worse than 1st time we got it. 🤷‍♂️
Going to give my regular Highland League game a miss today, fortunately I’ve got the delights of Everton at 1 o’clock 😀
Hope you feel better soon.
