Are Hayes and Foran on the bench? Bit worried that they won't be back for the Celtic game and without them we don't look like we would trouble any other team in the SPL. If they don't play on sat then I doubt we will be seeing them start against Celtic.

Is everyone aware that the SFL season starts this saturday, only 3 days away!! Maybe we could include the SPL this year, would help in winter if there are as many call offs as last year.

There are free busses that run to the stadium from the bus station, not sure if they were on for yesterdays game but they will be for league games.

Who would you say Barnet were on par with then? I think attendances do have a part in how good a team can become. More supporters going to matches gives the team more funds to compete for signings. If Barnet are pulling in as many fans as us surely that suggests they are able to pull in players of a certain calibre that we are after. People completely over rate the lower leagues in England, I've seen some games at that level and the standard is shocking! Given that they were almost relegated to the non-leagues then I wouldn't expect them to be much better than lower Division 1 in Scotland You may be right but i'd have thought with ticket prices and attendances roughly equal to ours they'd be between us and Ross County. These things are hard to compare though. Stockport are League Two and we only managed to beat them 1-0, They only managed 5 wins all season in League One before being relegated. I know it was only a friendly though so this doesn't prove anything. Fleetwood also beat us and they are non league, our team wasn't weakened that much either. It's not just ticket prices and attendances, the sponserhip and tv deal is a lot higher in the spl, and there is more teams in their leagues to compete with. The friendlies dont mean anything, Aberdeen got beat 3-1 by Fraserburgh the other week, doesn't mean the highland league is on par with the spl. I reckon Ross County could beat them comfortably in a competative game.

That was total pish.

They are a non league team, we should be beating them comfortably! :slap: We should be putting 4 or 5 past a non league team with ease. Disappointing showing.

The defence does look like it could be a bit vulnerable but I also think if we are missing Hayes and Foran then the middfield/attack also looks quite weak.

I presume IHE's ongoing brussel-sprout gag is because Brussels is in Belgium, as is Antwerp... hence, it's funny (to me, anyway ) I don't think it really needed explaining!! But well done anyway Sherlock for deciphering it!

Don't really like the stripes. Was looking at all the strips we've had on this - http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Inverness_Caledonian_Thistle/Inverness_Caledonian_Thistle.htm I think the 2004-06 one is the best one we've had.

http://www.ictfc.co.uk/articles/20100722/new-home-shirt-launch_2208825_2099517 some pics up on official site.

Not really liking the look of that, think it looks awful! Hopefully it will look better in the flesh

'Apparently it's blue'...shocking revelation:_shocked2: I can also exclusively reveal that there will be some red in there as well!

If the strips are to be on sale this friday, or even next week then the club will know what they look like as the strips will already have been made! Why haven't they at least released a photo showing what it looks like, it could at least get some fans excited and lookin forward to buying it etc etc. It can't be that bad surely!!

Can we have a sneak preview? Woosh...

Not so sure about this one. A 34 year old who was released by St. Mirren, a team who will be towards the bottom of the SPL. Maybe just signed as a back up defender.

I doubt it! We will still be favoured to be bottom 6, signing a keeper won't change that. I find this a bit of a weird move even though he is a top keeper. We have Esson who is more than capable in goals, just seems that we don't really need him if we are keeping Esson. Tuffey won't be wanting to move as a number 2 especially as he has broken into the Northern Ireland squad.

Probably never. It will just be pay at the gate as they are only friendlies. Would be suprised if there was more than 1,500-2,000 at the games.

He was given one game at left midfield and if you thought he was a bad defender you should have seen him on the wing! He looked completely lost and ended up just passing the ball straight out of play under no pressure. Not suprising he wasn't given another chance there.

True, just a same that when he's here he's meant to be there and vice vera!

Putting Liverpool in bold doesn't change it from being Liverpool's youth team. A couple of decent games, one against teenagers doesn't make up for the countless awful games he had.
