Small yet ambitious Scottish senior side hitting the headlines for their inclusion in the game!

Now that's a slow news day.

Well maybe not, news stations did find the Jonathon Ross/bearded lady pervert prank calls more important than current war and famine stories.

Slow maybe, but I've been on the radio twice this week, in five different papers and the telly on Wednesday - crazy!

BIG BUMP!!!!!

This is BRILLIANT! I was surfing around and wiki'd this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tain_Thistle_FC

So Niall, are you still here? AFAIK cmontheloknow's the main Scottish non-league researcher, so what is your role on the FM team?

I'm preparing for FM10 and downloading a full Scottish league structure and suitable team to manage. For years I'd hankered after Fort William, then Strathspey Thistle joined the Highland league and look even worse. Then my nostaglic thoughts turned to Sutherland when I realised I could take the helm at Golspie - but they're a bit good so my research led me to Tain tHistle who just joined the NCFL set-up and looked like they might be a bit out of their depth. However I see that you're getting off to a decent start this season - in the FM09 database however you give Tain's best player a PA of 15 so I don't see art imitating life with me in charge! By the way, is your wee man with CA of 3/PA 6 still talking to you??

Anyway, I'm well excited about this, taking wee Tain all the way ........ to Thurso. Who else is up for the Tain Challenge??
