Do other Scandinavian languages use the thorn? Wish it was in still EnglishQuote:

Possibly they are trying to raise next months payments for their few English players :)
I was just using Hibs' previously used definition of a 'hammering', fact!Quote:

You should know better than to make stuff up based on reading between the lines :)
The sporttv.is website is also charging in sterling for their streamQuote:

The Icelandic krona is particularly weak against the pound at the moment so I assume that's the reason. I'm sure it's handy for the government too since they're basically just sending it all back to the British government.
The football season is short, mid May to early Sept with a long pre-season:).Quote:

The English alphabet is incredibly boring.
It will be 6 games alright but it needs to be on a consistent enough basis over a few years for people to take notice. Shel's had a one-off good season in Europe but did not back it up. I haven't seen any Irish club back up one good run with another.Quote:

It was reported the other day that Pats had intended to send somebody to watch IBV's recent home game, but after consideration about the last leg of the journey to the islands, the scouting trip was cancelled. That sort of report brings a wry smile to an Icelander, who wouldn't give up so easily.
A blow to IBV's chances is to lose their playmaker, Ian Jeffs. He picked up a 3 game Euro ban in 2005 for a straight red and still has a game to serve. It was only reported today, I guess most everybody had forgotten about it.
Our chief scour was supposed to head to IBV's game on Friday. While Pete said it was travellig time, it was a combination of price and value.
Did IBV send someone to Ireland geysir?
A village team on a remote island close to arctic circle send a scout over to Ireland?
Anyway that's not the point, a difference in perception of what constitutes a day to day challenge is the issue.
But if they had made the decision and thought it worthwhile to send a man, he would have made it.
The Faroese would expect no less from Brian Kerr.
Again, the decision wasn't made. They thought about it, but the main stumbling block was the cost. Regardless of the line spun by Pete in the press conference on Friday
That's obviously something Pats can take as a source of motivation. IBV didn't deem it necessary to scout them - very disrespectful. Village team, remote island, Arctic Circle or not.Quote:
