I used to say to myself " Its the shirt that matters not who's wearing it" but I'm at a point now that I seem to be supporting a " Terry Butcher's Inverness Caley Thistle" rather than "Inverness C.T managed by Terry Butcher". I don't blame the players that come in as they are only trying to make a living out of playing football but as a management team and club we don't seem to have a long term plan when it comes to the squad. One year deals are o.k if we look to offer new contracts at Christmas if the player warrants it and not wait till the season is over. If I thought I would be out of a job in June I would start looking in January just like it looks like Tansy, Tade and Hayes did.

First of all I would like to express my joy at SPL chairmen having balls and doing the right thing. I would like Dunfermline for two reasons. Firstly RFC offer 9pence in the pound for debt and if it had been accepted they would still be in the SPL and replaced by Dundee who paid 3 pence in the pound and survived and this being the second time in admin in 5 years. Secondly. It was Dunfermline chairman John Yorkson that stood up for us in our vote for SPL entry and forced a re-vote. So what comes around...................

Speaking to a Hearts insider, he believes any player earning over £2500 a week has not been offered a new deal, Black, Skatel, Elliot and a few others so would they really offer a new signing £3000 a week?. Just a question not a diss.

With my feelings about the management at the moment the keeper will be Smith from Dunfermline and the striker Barrowman

Fantastic journalisim from the EE. The quotes attributed to Hayes are actually David Proctor's

I totally understand why people don't attend cup games against Celtic (I would include Rangers in this but we've only played them at Tannadice). I have a season ticket in the main stand and each time seats around me are filled with colour wearing Celts who shout jump up and are never questioned by stewards. The colours may not be scarves but shirts worn under jackets that only a complete idiot would not recognise. Its not pleasent sitting next to a drunken "Hey Jimmy" at the best of times but not at our own ground in our main stand.

When I saw the team sheet it struck me that playing a left back as left midfield Terry picked a team to combat Jamie Forrest and left us with limited attacking options. When Forrest didn't play G.Shinnie was not able to use the space that was available down the Celtic right thus giving us two defensive left sided players who had no-one to mark.

Appeal turned down. Suspended for one cup match.

I don't often post about games but I am so p*ssed off with Kilmarnock players today. Last season I applauded Kilmarnock off the pitch when they beat us 3-1 and played wonderful football. Today the number 10 was a disgrace with constant diving and the boy Kelly's foul (or assault) on Doran was unbelievable. Shield and Nicol should take a good look at themselves and their team if this is what they put them on the pitch to do.

Further travel tips for journey to Aberdeen. Its Nairn Games day, so add this to the traffic lights every 20 yds will make it slow progress through Nairn by road.

Sorry don't know how to link but SFA website :Inside Football: disapline:Current Fast Track will get you there.

Claim dismissed. One match suspension immidiate effect. SFA website.

Was Souness not away to Liverpool before th SPL was set up in 1998? How about Owen Coyle at St Johnstone?

Did he not only sign for Stanley from Tranmere a year ago, so he came through Tranmeres youth not Accringtons? Therefore no compo.

How is this an embarassment? Rain that was much heavier than forcast, undersoil heating (installed because of SPL rules) making it impossible to spike certain areas of the pitch, SPL referee having to do pitch inspection and TV pushing for the game to be played thus delaying the decision. The club didn't call the game off for burst pipes, stadium roof blowing off or undersoil heating failing so why are we embarassed? As insurance companies love to say "An Act of God". No blame to the clube or ground staff.

Pre Neil Lemmon Celtic and Rangers in equal amounts. Now Celtic, Celtic reserves, Celtic under 21's, all Celtic youth teams and Falkirk becaus Pressley is an arrogant,cheating t**t
