HDB,S VALIANT BUT ULTIMATELY UNSUCCESFUL ATTEMPT TO SEE VLLAZNIA GEMME LIVE

THE LADS WAIT WITH NERVOUS ANTICIPATION WHILE THE TECHNICAL CREW SET UP THE EQUIPMENT

INVERNESS CALLING ALBANIA...WE HAVE VISUAL

ALL SAT WITH BAITED BREATH AS THE CLOCK CAME ON THE SCREEN AND COUNTDOWN TO 19.00 ALBANIAN TIME BEGAN ,TICK ..TICK...TICK...THEN ON THE SCREEN .....THE ALBANIAN NEWS ...ARGHHHHHHH,MEBEES ITS A DELAYED KICKOFF, MEBEES THEY JUST SHOW THE SECOND HALF,MEBBES HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE ON SPORTSKI-NITE AT 10,DESPITE THE COLLECTIVE WILLPOWER OF THE HDB'S ,NOT A GLIMMER OF LIVE FITBA

WE WATCHED BITS OF VIDEO TAPE OF THE DEE,S WHILE HOPEFULLY JUMPING BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS THRU ALBANIAN T.V. CHANNELS BUT ALL TO NO AVAIL

JUST AS EVERYONE WAS GETTING DOWN IN THE MOUTH,JAN COUTTIE ARRIVED TO SAVE THE NITE WITH A BOX OF WALLACES FINEST PEHS,A DELICACY NOT OFTEN SEEN THIS FAR NORTH

SO AMIDST QAUFFING OF BEERS AND MUNCHING OF PEHS THE SCORE FILTERED IN THRU TEXT MESSAGES,RADIO REPORTS,AND RUMOURS FROM ARNIE THAT WE WERE ONE DOWN (THAT WENT DOWN WELL)THE NITE ENDED ON A HIGH NOTE AND PLANS FOR THE TRIP TO THE RETURN LEG AT DENS BEING ORGANISED

WALLACES FINEST PEHS!!!!

SO HOPEFULLY A GOOD RESULT AT DENS WILL SEE US THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND AND THEN WHO KNOWS WHAT ... THINK I'LL GO AND SEE IF WE CAN RECIEVE TRANSMISSIONS FROM ?????????
