Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a rumour. :019: We all know Blackie can spit the dummy, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him on Saturday. Let's hope we have enough in the squad to get a result against the dons.

As far as I know we still have 2 seats available and IHE I know someone who is looking forward to meeting you. :001: Obviously tomorrow will be the absolute deadline for numbers so at the moment these 2 seats are empty. :009:

I think it is absolutely essential that we get behind the team for the duration of the game on Saturday. We have to beat Aberdeen sometime and all bad runs come to an end so the two could come together with a little bit of luck on Saturday. I'm very often confused of my glass being half full, but there has to be some hope. Let's support the team like never before. :021:

First of all I think I'll stickie this until the weekend. This Saturday - Drumossie Hotel - 7 for 7.15. A bit of an early start, but there's a lot to pack in. Just been advised of a cancellation for 2 people, so if you were thinking about going but never got around to it due to the fact it sold out so quickly, then you have a second chance. Just had an update and Mrs PB will be happy as Parkie is confirmed as attending along with Mark Brown, Bobby Mann, Stevie Lovell, David Bingham and many more players past and present. Get in touch as soon as possible if you want these tickets as they will definitely be the last 2 available. Leave your details here or send a PM alternatively see the first post on this thread for my contact details.

Of course you can, but will Mrs IHE let you pack it? :015: :015: :015: I'm with the majority here. Let's support the team like we have never done before. We need to give it our best support ever. We need to beat Aberdeen sometime and wouldn't Saturday be the day to so it. Just maybe the 'Derby' atmosphere will carry us through our first win against our bogie team. If things don't go well, then I think everyone is entitled to their opinion and entitled to make their feelings known, but let's try to get behind the team for the time they are on the park. :021:

Yngwie, my understanding is that once a deal had been agreed, it was difficult for a meeting to be arranged with Dennis's Agent and our DoF to finalise the details. I do believe that this deal was done, bar the signature. Just look at the press the week before the withdrawal, they all reported an ageement had been reached and just required a signature, in fact Brew was quoted as saying as much. Some turn around over the course of a weekend!!! I'm sure his agent held out for the best deal possible, but unlike Duncan, he never looked elsewhere as he was always happy to stay in Inverness. Whatever the truths, to take someone so far along the line and then withdraw the offer is out of order.

Disappointed to read that Brew has changed his story and now says that he put the contract talks on hold as they were going on too long. My understanding is that any delay was with ICT and not Dennis who had agreed terms a few weeks ago. :020:

All the very best Dennis - Many Happy Returns

No Dennis wasn't looking around for another club, he was happy to stay with ICT and agreed terms some time ago. The delay in signing was nothing to do with Dennis, he would happily have signed if the paperwork had been made available.

Do you really think Dennis can afford to sit about until the end of the season, just to see if ICT have a change of heart. Dennis didn't go looking for another deal as he is happy in the area and was quite happy to sign his new contract. He has a family to consider and I'm sure he will need something a bit more secure than that. As has been said before his oldest daughter is due to start school in August, so it's important they are settled by then. Don't know which teams his agent is talking to, but I would expect him to secure a summer move sooner rather than later. Was he treated fairly? Currently 14% of voters think yes :017: His contract was agreed and due to be signed before the Falkirk game, so to have it withdrawn when the delay in signing was outwith his control I believe is very harsh indeed. How can even 14% of people think that was fair? Have your say here - On the right hand banner

John Doc is the reserve team coach and Alec Clelland is the under 19 coach.

Highland News are running with Dennis's story and they will have a poll in place on www.highland-news.co.uk to ask if you think Dennis was treated fairly. Good interview with Dennis and it seems his agent already has a few interested parties, some SPL, some not. He has to have a good long think about what is best as he has to put his family first. I hope he gets something sorted quickly.

Happy Birthday you old Git. :rotflmao: :party04: Low calorie cake :party05: And a pressie :party03: Balloons and Streamers :party06: Party Hat and hooters :party07: Don't say we're not good to you. :rotflmao: Have a good one :003:

So will it be Bayne and/or Rory up front, or will he expect Dennis to come in and povide the cover required?

:021: That would be a good move

I have said once or twice on the other threads, that had they chosen not to renew his contract, I could have lived with that, but this treatment absolutely stinks of unprofessionalism As far as I know the deal had been agreed for a while and is backed up by press reports last week that it was due to be signed. I don't believe that Dennis was responsible for the delay. Anyway this is being discussed on the contracts thread so no point in duplication. Let's keep this thread as a show of support for Denzil.

Not for the first time the news breaks first on Caleythistleonline, closely followed by the BBC, but nothing on the official web site. It would have looked better if they had made an announcement. Press conference today at lunch time, so I'm guessing it will be discussed then. I should add that this is a routine press conference and not a special one arranged following yesterday's revelations.

:021: :021: :021:

Dean has returned to the UK and I think he is spending some time in England, therefore he remains an ICT player. He must have a good agent as he's at least winning some good trials. I hope he gets sorted with something soon. He scores for fun in the reserves.

Dennis Wyness - 17 Starts - 7 Sub appearances - 7 goals Marius Niculae - 28 Starts - 3 Sub appearances - 9 goals

:015: Johnboy, you are really trying to get inside my head. They = ICT. ICT negotiated a new contract with Dennis, this was due to be signed as reported in last weeks press releases. Monday and it's removed from the table. :017:

As I said, if they had decided not to offer him a contract I could live with that as that is their perogative. But to offer him a deal and spend some time coming to an agreement just to change their mind is not on. This is people's lives we are talking about. How could he be about to sign on Friday, all the press releases from last week back this up, and then, after a poor 45 mins of football the offer is withdrawn. I would say that was a bit of a hammer blow to Denzil.

I don't believe we'll find a replacement for the same money and I don't think we can afford to pay much more to be honest. I am very saddened by today's events, it seems very unprofessional. If the contract was agreed, then surely you don't go back on your word. I am absolutely gutted for ICT and for Dennis and his family, who are really settled in the area and were looking forward to the next few years here at least.

Your cage has been well and truly rattled Scotty. If they hadn't offered Dennis a contract then fair enough, but it was agreed and awaiting signature. He must have been deemed worthy - how can that change in one game. :33:

Yes
