The mentality in Scotland seems to be one that would rather see clubs cease to exist, than exist as the part of a merger. The problem with our merger, IMO, was that it was one driven by desire more than necessity....although some (Mr Bannerman) will no doubt argue (with hindsight) that it was necessary. The environment is very different these days and I think some mergers have to be looked at as necessity/means of survival. For that reason the arguments that would be put forward in support of/against a merger would be very different to the ones we experienced 20 years ago....making it very hard to draw a meaningful comparison.

Ok just one question? Did any of you actually g9 through the last merger? Omce in a lifetime was enough.for me anyway.

As our club has a much longer name I think we would need a bit more of our name than theirs. I suggest "Inverness Caledonian Thistle" from us - and "Football Club" from them.

We win!!!!!!

Sounds like poor finishing or a lack of composure as we have had 18 shots 12 on target, stenny 11 shots - 1 on target!! C'mon feck penalties. Mind you the ref is that fanny bobby madden

Anyway' whatever the result we are crap.

I hope you washed your f**kin hands after that. Disgusting.

If your view is: The Rangers/Sevco/Newco are nothing to do with Rangers and have no rights to their history and are only in the SFL3, not because of punishment, but because they are a new club. then The Rangers/Sevco/Newco shouldn't be punished for a completely different club and cannot be stripped of titles. My view? If a team of Rangers players, led by a Rangers manager play in Rangers strip at Ibrox, then they are the same club. Just the company has changed. Demotion to SFL3 was punishment. Stripping of titles? Couldn't care less. One for the Celtic supporters (and probably Hibs and Aberdeen) but it does seem pointless. SFL3 was the punishment.

Got to wonder what the SPL hope to gain by continuing to pursue this and paying out the vast sums of money these people will be commanding for their services. We're not arguing a point of law, they won't be able to enforce any fines and stripping titles means what exactly??? Would be far better if they put the money, time and other resources into sorting out the mess Scottish Football is in instead of trying to save a bit of face from the disaster that occurred because they were operating a system which allowed such things to happen in the first place. Nobody came out of the summer fiasco looking good and the more they drag it out the more damage that will be done and everyone will just look even worse. Time to draw the line and move on with stuff that matters instead of further lining the pockets of solicitors etc.

on OTB they have the county version of this, and are all raging that rossco and munro are still in ICT shirts :lol:
