Appreciate you probably don't get to many games being in Southampton but Celtic Park is the worst away day. You can actually recreate it in your garden by following these easy steps: 1) Stand at one end of your garden. 2) Place a TV showing the game at the other 3) Place a massive pillar in the way of most of the action 4) Recruit local miscreants to holler indecipherable rhymes about religion, Ireland and themselves. Make sure they are dressed in tracksuits. 5) Get some minimum wage neo-fascists along, stick them in a day-glo coat and get them to act like onanists for two hours. 6) When the game ends, charter a plane to Beirut and walk about there for a hour or so. That's the Celtic Park experience. Having said that, when you win or get a draw from 2-0 down, it's worth it. I'm probably going to come along to this game as it happens

This is a complex issue because the facts are not currently transparent. This is exacerbated by the latest news http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/9052393/Craig-Whyte-delays-publication-of-Rangers-holding-company-accounts.html Depending on the level of debt and the status of each creditor will possibly determine what happens at Ibrox. As February advances I suspect the pressure on Rangers will increase significantly. Whether the real threat of administration begins to affect player performance will be interesting. HMRC may be meticulous in their work across different investigations or may decide to cut their potential losses by moving quickly. We do not know how the Club is being run. If it collapses financially it may instantly have to cancel player contracts. Pompey and Dundee offer two examples of what might happen. Gretna and others offer further examples but none will be identical in terms of the end result. The biggest losers if Rangers do implode might well be Celtic. They are more dependent on Rangers than we are. In theory there will be better competition in the SPL which would be fantastic and might increase crowds around the country especially if Rangers supporters spent money at their local clubs. We do not know what effect it would have on TV contracts. From a personal point of view, it will be seen as a breath of fresh air. Living well beyond ones means is a form of cheating in my book. ICT operate a well managed club like many clubs nowadays and it will be this style that maintains football in this country.

I used to get into the terracing for £3 as an under 16 in the first division. I don't get your point here? That was 8 years ago. I'm talking about our first division prices 2 seasons ago which I think were about £14-15 for a child of any age to pay into the game on the day. This was the cheapest walk up prices by the way. The same season County offered £3 for a child. And looking at their website now they still offer £3 child tickets for behind the goal. It is still only £4 for an Under 16 for the Stand and £8 for under 18. We charged an under 16 almost 4 times the price for a seat (behind the goal as opposed to the side of the pitch) to watch the same teams and 17 year olds almost double. It's a complete joke 1 game in the first division for ICT would get you 5 for County in the first division. My point was we used to give very decent priced tickets and i always thought we did especially in the Cup but since we have become an SPL team the demand for more money has increased to a silly amount, it's not just us but football in general. It doesn't matter who we are playing. We're here to see Inverness not Celtic. Why should our prices be increased because we are playing them? No kid should be expected to be paying £15 a ticket when travel and food also has to be paid for. They are in full time education from 9 till 3-4 every day except weekends. If they are to have a saturday off to watch the football they shouldn't be over working themselves to afford coming to see a football match on what would surely be their only day off.

Not when you can get Gringo Jr for more money. Worth every penny!! Or so he says http://www.skybet.com/cms/breaking-transfer-news.shtm?name=KANT+Gringo+Jnr PS:How does the linky thingy work now?

Rumours abound in Glasgow that 'going bust' is only a matter of time. That time will be dictated by when the SPL title is out of their reach. Suggested to me that Craig Whyte's plan has always been to put into admin, write off the debt but retain ownership of the stadium. A newly created Rangers Football Club will be formed and buy the stadium from him and he will walk away with a tidy wedge. Very clever approach that will net him a fortune which, considering how little of his own cash he has put into the deal, will represent the smartest football dealings since Glazers bought Man Utd and switched the debt immediately. Good or bad for Scottish football? Part of me thinks it's a clear shot across the bows to all the wannabes involved in our game that this ridiculous situation can't continue but ulitimately think our game would suffer without the associated revenue from the OF. All said, would be very happy if I never heard a song about a German queen or a British Empire ever again !

Appear to be on a loser here ! Suppose it's not to be unexpected when you're not in the 'next to nothing' camp. Not 'digging my heals heels in' CD just giving you a clear steer on why I have the viewpoint I do. Every day in life you hear people talk about the things they can't afford to do whilst making choices to do other things. Human nature I suppose. Same as the 'it's all right for you' viewpoint when it most cases it's not really it's just a choice scenario. Joe, as stated perviously, I agree that there is considerable scope for offers and incentives to be delivered throughout the season. These need to be pushed further and I hope they will be. That said, I doubt you'll ever see the day when a child can walk in to Victoria Park and pay £3 to see a cup game versus Celtic? OGC, I pay £72 per month for SKY (full buhna I know!) and that's my choice. Accept that I may have exaggerated the price of the cinema but it is still very expensive (food is ridiculous!). In conclusion, I still belive you guys are using the wrong game to promote this approach. Club needs cash and needs to make hay when the sunshines even if that means asking a bit more from the home combine than in other fields!

Phone the club shop. I'm sure they could post them out to you

It's OK, they've both got "mouths". Although, a man and a women both have mouths, but failure to tell the difference could be quite traumatic.

With Chris Wood going back to West Brom, Rooney's opertunities will only get better. Having said that, I think Rooney has been very, very lucky. The Blues will know he can score else they wouldn't have signed him. With Zigic injuryed at the start of the campaign, and Woods away now, even as a 3rd striker behind these two (and/or marlon king) he's always going to get a chance. Hayes, on the other hand, would find it harder to break into a team such as celtic, dundee united or any championship side, when you consider some of the class that is already on show. Hayes would be far better to pen a 2-3 year extention, produce his best, develop, and when he feels the time is right, move on to another club knowing ICT will get some dosh. If an injured Lee Cox can go to Swindon for £50,000, I'm sure a fully fit Hayes would be worth a minimum £200k in a year or two

Unwise for the club to pay outlandish wages. Sets a precedent that will come back to haunt them.
