Our pre season is looking pretty good compared to our opponents on the opening day. They were gubbed 4-0 by Peterhead last night. Ouch!!

Very sad indeed. I have to say I'm absolutely appalled at his treatment. Completely undeserved in my opinion but he's handling himself with a large measure of dignity which says a lot about him as a man. I wish our board would take some notes and perhaps they'll learn about conducting themselves in a professional manner.

He's NOT going to Denmark because he needs to sort out 'personal business' in Romania. :024: Is there more to this than we think? More than likely..... Official site linky!

Any more information on what the line-up was? It seems our under 19's have had a bit of an overhaul in terms of personnel and a few from last season have been released.

I'd have to disagree with the 'common knowledge'. I don't think thats its just wants Brewster wanrts at all. He's has managerd to reduce the average age of the team since he came back and his signings of Imrie and Barrowman suggest we may see a more adventerous (sp.?) side next season. I think Brewster has had a fair bit of undeserved abuse (and a lot of deserved abuse - including lots from me) in terms of our performances. The Paterson/Robertson teams are ageing and its inevitable that it was to be broken up, Brewster has had this job and we have to give him unitl Christmas to sort it. I'm actually excited at the prospect of next season looking at the average age of our team (26 by the way) despite the doom and gloom around. PS. We scored 50 league goals last season where as our other SPL seasons have been 41, 42 and 51 so it looks like we are trying to attack.

They're filed under the name of 'Inverness Thistle & Caledonian FC'. You probably wont get too much information, just an abbreviated balance sheet.

It's Torino today. Wonder who it will be tomorrow, might be worth a sweep. Daily Ranger Story

Couldn't agree more with what you say. Not a single person can begrudge him his appearance either (apart from Florin Bratu maybe). He has worked tremendously hard to get where he has despite some posts to the contrary on here. He really couldn't have done much more last night. He was obviously being asked to play a specific role and that was hold it up so Nicolita, Mutu and Cocis could get running off him. The problem was tha Romania couldn't get the ball and any time they they did that wee girl Mutu tried to take on the world by himself. He is the most frustrating player I've watched in a long time and reminds me of a 10 year old in his school team. The head is down and teammates are ignored, when possession is then lost he stands about sulking. In all honesty I think Romania may have been better off without him last night as he seemed to be a hindrance more than a help. Marius certainly didn't look out of place and if only some of the Romanian crossing had been of an acceptable standard he may have got a better sniff of goal. I think it's been fantastic to have him here and here's to a great season in 2008/09.

Some advice... don't use Eurosport or Sky for team news as they make you look a bit stupid.

Confirmed Marica starts with Mutu.

Although it should definately have more red the more I see it the more undecided I am :010: However, I must say what the **** is going on with the sponsor? It's far far too high. It looks so out of place.

Well, if training is anything to go by the rumours look like they may be true as he has been paired with Mutu over the last few days.

Thats losers talk! Only kidding :002: I'm more confused than anything else. I've figured it out eventually though.

Thats what I'm gonna have to do. My problem is that my stars are distributed around in such a way that means I can't make the transfers I wanted.

Anyone figured out how to make todays transfers yet? When I log in it still shows my team from a few days ago. This has obviously changed and I need to sort it for today!!

Think Marius was a little unlucky not to get on this evening. Romania were forced into 2 changes through injury and they were hardly going to take on another striker with 2 mins left. Mutu had lost the plot a little after the penalty miss so thought Marius might get on but a midfielder got the nod. Oh well. Here's to a start on Tuesday.

Group C: 17th June France 0 - 0 Italy Netherlands 2 -2 Romania Group D: 18th June Greece 0 - 1 Spain Russia 2 -1 Sweden BONUS: 1 goal

Group A: 15th June Switzerland 1-1 Portugal Turkey 1 - 2 Czech Republic Group B: 16th June Austria 0 - 4 Germany Poland 2-2 Croatia BONUS: 5 yellow cards

Nice one. I've just emailed my transfers now.

Yeah, I got that email too. I've emailed them now to see what the heck is going on because its a nonsense. I cant get logged on at all now.

Anyone able to make any transfers today? Every time I try it tells me an error has occured and to retry in 60 seconds. It also keeps coming up with players I don't even have or am even trying to transfer in on the confirm transfer page. Really annoying.
