Well - if you don't know!

What a thrilling game between Belgium and the USA last night! It goes to show that it is not quality football that necessaril;y entertains, but a real desire to play attacking football. There was some poor defending with players being out of position and allowing attacking opportunities to develop for the opposition and there was some poor finishing by the Belgians who kept aiming at Howard's legs rather than lifting the ball over his flailing arms as he went to ground early time after time. Made for a really exciting game though. If Iain Stewart had been in the Belgian side last night he would probably have scored about 10.

Why not pop along and see for yourself ?

Crazy how long we take to release new replica strips I would have thought like season tickets the priority would be to get as many as possible sold ASAP so the money is in the bank and could be made available to Yogi for squad additions or ground improvements Regardless whether it's the clubs fault or the supplier it's time for better communication between the two in future Dougal

CaleyD you clearly dislike Dougal intensely but in this instance he makes an entirely valid point. The annual shambles surrounding the release of our strips is frankly an embarrassment to both the club and Errea. Ymip jr has given up asking when it's coming out and has splashed his cash elsewhere. Every club in the league releases their strip ahead of the school holidays and pre-season. Clearly the commercial department (sic) at ICT know better. Defending the indefensible.....as per.

FT 4-0. Not quite clear whether the third goal was Dorans or an og from the clach player Trialist striker looked quite good. Worked hard, had a good touch, held the ball up well and seemed to link well with the other lads. Think he would be a useful addition as back up. Don't think he'd be quite ready to challenge Billy for a start quite yet

Heard Og had a good game.

Dougal can often be controversial and sometimes divisive but he is a regular contributor and, whether you or indeed I agree with it or not, seems to make a reasonable enough point. I really don't see how it can be dismissed as trolling.

Explain? Your avatar? My avatar is due to my support for both sides. As a child I was brought up supporting both teams not thinking that either would ever be playing in the same league. I would like to add that I did start this topic as a way of notifying Inverness fans of the charity game next month hoping that there would be much more of an interest and support for your own club. I would much appreciate it if you could keep any comments that have nothing to do with the match away from this topic please. I do not want it cluttered with inappropriate comments. If it is to continue I will be more than happy to delete the topic. Guys, please adhere to my request. I'm doing this for charity, not to have a slagging match over the bridge. Thank you in advance.

As I noted a week or so ago, he could find form again with us. I would certainly take a chance with him. As the Father of a teenage Daughter I don't want that beast anywhere near Inverness .

Now there's a point, does Dougal's owner stick to the letter of the law and clean up his sh*t behind him?

Booooooo!

With all due respect to SP, I found his post above to be one of the most depressingly negative comments I have read on the Independence debate. It comes across as a plea for Independence so that the youth of the country aren't forced to emigrate as he did. It is sad that he felt he needed to leave Scotland to progress but obviously it is great that the move worked out well. Nearly 40 years ago I moved to Scotland to work and was certainly never short of opportunities to progress. No doubt views are coloured by one's own experiences and the kind of business you are in. It may well be that 40 years ago someone with ambition and ability found it hard to progress in Scotland (and the rest of the UK for that matter) but Scotland is not like that now. Whilst North America may have led the way in encouraging ability, the UK has caught up and in my view has a far more balanced approach than is evident across the pond. Moving from company to company may provide one kind of experience but staying put in the same company provides experience and knowledge of the business that many employers have the sense to value. In any case, there are loads of folk who simply want to stay in jobs they like and are good at and don't wish to be pressurised into feeling they constantly have to move and "progress". My experience of the workforce in Scotland is that we have a great balance of opportunity for those who wish to change and progress whilst offering job security for those wishing to stay put. Scotland is undoubtedly a more vibrant and dynamic place than it was 40 years ago. Far from people feeling the need to emigrate to find work, the population of Scotland has been rising steadily as folk from the rest of the UK and Europe move to Scotland to live and work. The Scotland SP knew 40 years ago is not the Scotland I know today. There are no yokes and shackles for the Scottish people to break free from in order for Scotland to flourish. Scotland is already flourishing as an integral part of the UK - and long may it continue to do so!
