Hearing Ross County have made a bid for our entire U18 team.

I noticed this game was on earlier this afternoon but unfortunately too late to go along. There was a note posted on the ICT website yesterday saying that a win would secure the U18 Performance Tier League title for the lads. So, seeing as they won the game, they must have won the title so huge congratulations to the youngsters and to the coaching staff for what is undoubtedly a very impressive performance. It's just a shame I didn't know about this earlier or else I would have gone along. Let's hope the club is doing all it can to ensure those deemed good enough to get contracts with the first team squad are signed up on deals beyond a single year and with sell on clauses. Having achieved what they have, some of them will undoubtedly be subject of interest from bigger clubs than us.

That wee McGregors a top prospect thought we'd see more of him punt him and the Brazilian in on Saturday see what they're made of nothing to loose freshen things up

The stalwarts that I sit beside are mostly from outside Inverness (Invermoriston, Nethybridge, Ardersier, Tomatin, Gollanfield) plus a couple of Invernessians, myself included. While it's key that we engage with Inverness itself (businesses and individuals) it's clear that there's interest from further afield that would be folly to ignore. We just don't seem to have ever really become part of the fabric of the city. You could walk through the town on a match day and barely realise that there was a game happening. It is disappointing that we have not expanded our fan base more given the population boom that we've had since the late 90s.

county having 900 season ticket holders in inverness cant help. there must be a reason why people are going to see county and not us. they have more season ticket holders than we have attendance most games, including away fans and as much as it pains me to say it Mcgregor is doing things the right way for the club as a whole and the community aspect they have is a lot better than ours has been in a long time. i understand he has a lot of money but it feels as though we just can't get the basics right, and that is an issue.

Jesus folks, surely we all know that after one season ends then a new one begins and season tickets will be sold for that. It's been happening since the beginning of time. Why have people not budgeted for this accordingly. It's not rocket science. I know, let's just blame the club.

Matheus the architect of everything good, smacked the crossbar in the build up to first goal and great run along line to help set up second. This boy is absolute quality. Well worth the lead at the break. Should have been a third just after the break, ball across face of goal just missed by forwards and Matheus shoots just over, corner for his effort. Second half goals from MacGregor and MotM Matheus Machado completed the scoring at 4-0. Matheus at it again with another superb chip. What a star.

Tell u 1 thing we'll be in there shadow for years now can't keep loosing players for free like Vigurs Polly more or less Drapes and replacing them with traffic cones all be it he's got better and Triffids and expect to get results they've money we don't money talks in football and unless our u18s are like class of 92 and obvs if we don't win the play offs this season could be a rough nxt few seasons ! But make no mistake we'll be back as top dogs unless obvs we go in to liquidation in between times

I think the club is caught between a rock and a hard place on this one. If we were to get promotion to the premier league, then this is a very good deal for those that can afford it. It also benefits the club by getting money in earlier. If we do get promotion, then season tickets will increase in price over this season anyway so it looks like the club is trying to minimise the loss of selling at Championship prices by increasing the number of season tickets bought early. That to me, seems a perfectly reasonable idea. As such I find some of the criticism of the board on this as a bit unjustified and some people appear to want their cake and eat it on this. Bottom line is that more people have to come and watch us each week which nobody has been able to fully solve, on a sustainable basis, in our 25 year existence.

No they dont...lol

Twenty five years is a whole generation. That excuse is wearing a bit thin.

A good reason to put the tickets on sale earlier than normal. No reason at all not to extend the deadline by a week.

If County want Donaldson they will get him. We need the cash so we won't exactly discourage him from going, like Draper, then we'll paint it as the player wanting to leave the club, like Draper. As we all know County have the money, even if they don't Uncle Roy will write it off for them ("the Ross County way"), so it's happening guys. Best start accepting it now. Chalmers is an odd one though. Not overly fussed if he does go even if it's to County. Given they have about 40 midfielders it seems a strange move.

Ha! Frank Kelly speaking, I'm beginning to like A. Simpson. Reading, digesting and assimilating his prose is a challenge that keeps me young and there is no doubt that his heart is in the right place. Which all goes to prove that so long as your heart is in the right place there is a place for you at the Forum table at Caleythistleonline. As I have intoned in the past, always try to speak the positive and eschew the negative. Alan, that last word (eschew) has nothing to do with peanuts, it just means put it aside with a haughty sniff and forget it ever entered your mind. Whatever you do, please be very careful about taking elocution lessons because you will probably come on here with an accent like prince Charles and WE WILL NEED A REALLY GOOD INTERPRETER BECAUSE I DOUBT IF OLD CHARLIE HAS EVER been to a football ground in his life.
