Ross County 4 - 1 Montrose (league cup)

Played 2, won 2, drawn 0, lost 0.

Who will be the one to ruin our 100% record?

Errm....

Ach, we’re up on Wednesday.

Having flipped the bird in the face of Fate with this.....

....I am relieved to report:

Brechin City 0 - 4 Ross County (league cup)

Played 3, won 3, drawn 0, lost 0.

<ahem> Who will be the one to ruin our 100% record?

Hertha up against Bayern on the first day of the Bundesliga, 16 of August.

'Nuff said.

Oh I’m pretty sure we’ll have lost or drawn a match by then.

If we are still at 100% by then I'll be astonished, and we're as likely to fuck up as RCC.

Edit: We are away to Killie and at home to the Leith Soap Dodgers before then, plus whatever Europa games are afoot. We're at home to someone tonight.

Killie and Leith, is that friendlies, Cups or League? If it's friendlies, we might as well exclude any non-wins from the count...

League, our first two games. We have a few friendlies as well.

Hmmm. There's a good chance it'll be me that lets down myself, and the whole school.

We're playing Hamilton and Hearts in the league, and St Johnstone and Forfar in the league cup before Arneb's brave lads lace up their boots on the 16th Aug.

We play tonight in a Europa tie second leg we're four up in so it has the potential for a draw. We should put another four past them but who knows.

Rangers 6 - 0 I have no idea who

Played 4, won 4, drawn 0, lost 0. It’s still on.

We're lucky, damn lucky, that Hertha has no hand in anything remotely European.

I can't find odds for teams going a season winning every game, or even undefeated but if we do we'll win our leagues the odds of which are given as Rangers 9/4, RCC 2000/1, Hertha 500/1 and Fürth 50/1. Which I think means a £1 accumulator would rack up £112,500,000 when it comes off. Given Rangers and RCC play in the same division I can see a flaw in this. If we take County out as the weak link, if Hertha's new investor spends wisely and Fürth don't Fürth then we are £225,000 to the good.
Subject of course to me not having bollocksed the arithmetic too badly.

Spending a quid on crazy stuff isn't a crime, you know. And the win is tidy even if we carve it up between the three of us.

Maybe you could calculate the odds of Rangers winning, Hertha making it to Europe, and RCC and Fürth both staying in their respective Leagues. That won't make us millionaires, but it should pay for an outing with a good barbecue, a few beers and a bottle of really good Single Malt to be consumed when the fire burns low and the night sky shakes its head at us.

I think that might be a plan . . .

I’m in. The night sky here doesn’t shake its head at you here, though - it shakes its fist.

Ok, I’ll get the bet on, if we win it funds a euroweasel meet up.

Send me the details and I’ll hoof a quid at it too. Then we can afford to Euroweasel on the moon!

Excellent, I’ll get on it.

Make that three!

To my considerable surprise:

St Johnstone 1 - 2 Ross County (league cup)

Played 5, won 5, drawn 0, lost 0. It’s still on.

County!

I can get Rangers to win the league at c2/1, Hertha to finish top four at c20/1 but I can't get odds for the other two bets. I'm still trying though. It was a waste of time trying online so I'm just going into bookies and asking.

Oh my. Even Rangers and Hertha reaching their goals only gives us 120 quid for our three. That may be the outing, but without the flight(s). So we WILL need RCC and Fürth...
