  1. Thanks for the kind words folks. We decided to go to the press in a bid to raise awareness regarding the dangers of hot water in the home. There is currently no legislation in place about the safe temeperature of taps however baths are required by law to have thermostatic mixers that prevent temperatures from going above 48 deg We are determined to fight to make a change in legislation across the country. And if we can prevent one child from going through what Lewis has endured then it will have been time well spent. Unfortunately some papers seem to have highlighted on the possibility of legal action which is a seperate issue entirely. This is due to the fact that we have had numerous problems with our hot water tank and heating system over the last 3 years since Luisa bought the house and we have been assured on several occasions that it had been fixed and was working correctly.I was astounded that the response from the house builder in the press was along the lines of they had found no fault. It has been a very difficult time for us as a family and the support our friends and family have given has been amazing. Regards, Simon, Luisa, Isla and Lewis

  2. The precedent is a 10 point deduction..... or nothing at all if you go back further Gretna were deducted 10 points by the SPL and that was the full extent of their punishment in the top league. It was enough to see them relegated and they were then demoted back to SFL3 not by the SPL or SFA but by the SFL when they could not confirm they would fulfil their SFL fixtures the following season. : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/g/gretna/7426281.stm Livi - in administration for the second time - were demoted to D3 after breaching insolvency rules: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/livingston/8179998.stm Dundee got a 25 point penalty - again by the SFL not the SPL - and the reason given was because it wasnt their first time in administration. First time round there was no sanction. If you want to limit it to the SPL, then prior to Gretna, administration had no effect on your points .... Motherwell (SPL) were in administration from Apr 2002- Apr 2004 and had no points deducted Dundee (first time round - Nov 2003 - Aug 2004) were in the SPL and had no points deduction Livingston (first time round - Feb 2004 - May 2005) were in the SPL and had no points deducted If Rangers or Hearts do go into administration, it will be interesting to see what does actually happen .... the SFL seem to be way harder on teams than the SPL and they could argue that 75% of all teams in the SPL who entered administration were never penalised ......

  3. I think too much was made of a throw away comment. The guy has been pretty good for us since he came here and is getting better all the time. I was not of the same opinion, it was just a comment that meant zilcho. What did people do before tweeter? The guy maybe wanted to watch the game on what was supposed to be his day off,........big deal. Anyway, he has been good recently and remember he is still a young guy, lighten up.

    • Inverness CT 1-2 Ayr United - Report
      Having sat through one of the worst games for many a year there is little to hope for now apart from Arbroath to keep losing because we certainly appear to find it difficult to win. We have no game changers in our squad and our manager is playing the wrong type of anti-football to help our cause. Big Dunc thought we were the better team. Pleeeeeaaase, give me a break! We were second to everything and Ayr were always one step ahead of us after the first three minutes. SHOCKER springs to mind.

    • Inverness CT 0-0 Airdrieonians - Report
      These two sides looked as though they could play for the whole of March without scoring. In terms of opportunities, the hosts probably shaded it, but when we did miss the first defender, crosses invariably went behind the incoming strikers. On the one occasion we got on the end of the ball Billy Mckay's flicked header was cleared away from goal by Kanayo Megwa.
      Not the worst 0-0 draw ever, but scoring opportunities were at a premium. Neither keeper was overly troubled and this game had scoreless written all over it given the evidence of the first twenty minutes.

    • Inverness CT -V- Airdrieonians - Preview
      Promoted Airdrie are sitting in fifth place in the table, just below the play-off places with former Caley Jag Nikolay Todorov getting amongst the goals and he will provide a big test for our central defence. We have found Airdrie a difficult proposition at times this season but we did win the last home encounter against them.

    • Morton 0-2 Inverness CT - Report
      What a start for Inverness and Billy Mckay, who answered his abusers from last week by opening the scoring in the second minute, firing into the top corner after an assist from Cammy Harper. Robbie Muirhead looked to respond but Mark Ridgers was equal to his effort in the fifth minute. Ten minutes before the interval Sean McAllister curled in a low free kick from the edge of the box to double our advantage and open his scoring account at Inverness. Plenty of bookings but no further scoring saw Inverness pick up a vital three points in the relegation battle although we still remain in ninth spot but only two points from Dunfermline in fifth.

    • Morton -V- Inverness CT - Preview
      Morton host Inverness on Saturday at 3:00pm. They are unbeaten over ninety minutes in their last 17 outings, including a 5-0 pumping of the Pars, a 3-2 win at Tannadice and they also knocked Motherwell out of the Scottish Cup. It wasn't that long ago Morton were below us in the table and now they are in contention for a play-off place at the top end of the table. Us, on the other hand, have slumped to ninth in the table with a distinct possibility of making a play-off place as well. Unfortunately, that's at the relegation end of the table.
