It's a bit "pots and kettles" is it not ? Only three weeks ago, just before Caley signed John Rankin, every detail of the transfer sage happened through the back pages of the newspapers, and every time it was either Graeme bennet or Charlie Christie that were making the comments. At the time every County fan commented on how low and underhanded this was, as we felt it would unsettle our team. So why is it such a big issue for ICt when it happens to them ? So with David Sutherland being quoted as saying "We are very disappointed with such conduct" does this then also mean that he was disappointed with the conduct shown by Bennet and Christie in the Rankin transfer saga ? I think so !!

Rankin has signed for you. He will be unveiled at a press conference tomorrow lunch time. No details. I guess it is for the same £65k as last week, just the issues with the agent must have been sorted one way or the other

Just a point of interest. John Rankin played for Ross County today against Nairn County. Was missing for long spells in the match but had a terrific shot which came back of the cross bar.. other than that nothing worthy of mentioning

We're not disgusing ourselves as a charity. When we started out we had to raise funds simply to pay the players wages, since then things have changed a bit, and Roy McGregor eased the problems slightly. But we are still hard up for cash, and what better way to help out the club, than to raise money for the youth teams. Not all the cash we are raising is for the youth teams, this is a one off event for a particular cause. In total so far SoS have handed over £18,000 to the football club, it may not sound a huge amount when you hear some of the money being banded about for players wages in other divisions etc. but that is around 60% of the funding County get from TV & League sponsors which will be missing next season for us. So it does do a lot to help out. And as said above if you don't want to help, to go. I just thought some other people other than County fans might like to attend such an event, thats why I put it on here

I don't quite follow your logic. RCFC didn't pay a penny for John Rankin, and is seen as one of our best players - proven by the fact you and several other teams want him ! However what is wrong with trying to hold onto your better players ? With out decent players any club would slide back down the divisions and in turn would be worse off. Save Our staggies is an indepentant association, and although we have a non-voting representative from Ross County on the committee this purely so that the two organisations can work together and not against each other. However it is us who are trying to raise this £4000 for the kids teams, yes it helps the club, but at least it is a worth while cause. We got a contact for Tam Cowan, and he was more than happy to help out with such a cause for which we are extremely greatful. But to me this should be a great event, and not one soley aimed at County fans, so if you are interested in coming along tickets are available.

Save Our Staggies - the fundraising group behind Ross County FC - are holding an evening with Tam Cowan on Thursday 15th June in the National Hotel, Dingwall. The evening will follow the England v Trinidad & Tobago match. Tickets are priced £15 and go on sale from Thursday 25th May at Victoria Park Stadium. The purpose of the evening is to raise £4000 so that Save Our Staggies can purchase new playing kits for all the Ross County youth teams for next season. Even though it is a night for Ross County, fans of all other teams are invited ! Anyone fancy it ?

To be fair, Mark Brown didn't exactly do himself any favours the night he playerd for the Future squad.. He was pretty rank that night !

Just in case some of you are at a loose end on Tuesday night (18th April). Save Our Staggies are holding a race night in the Victoria Suite at Victoria Park if you want to come along.

But anyone is welcome to come along, entry is free, and if your lucky you could leave with more than you arrived. It starts at 7.15pm, but you can arrive any time during the evening.
