Scarlet Pimple

When the coalpits in Methil shut down East Fife still soldiered on. Great to hear that this old club still knows its onions and will support any reasonable suggestion for a a reworking of the Leagues. Bayview or bust then.

:lol: Tne three stooges.

Scotty I am about to send a cheque to the club and I have aspecial reason for that. In addition I want tthe club to use the money to enable a game or two for disabled youngsters . So good luck with this.

Every dog has its day. And rangers F C has, fortunately or unfortunately, had its day too. It has has run its course and these incredible happenings hves come about because something was very wrong with, or inside, this club. Frankly speaking, if Rangers F. C, or the new substitute, fell completely off the radar screen then that would solve a lot of problems and would serve as a premium status notice to Scottish football as a whole that this kind of conduct is intolerable. Degrading conduct and dishonesty should run its course and end up where Rangers has --in the gutter . As for Craig Burley it seems clear he is worried about his employment first because why should he attempt to justify retention of the cheaters in a prominent posution in Scottish football? Now he is flailing around in an unseemly way, criticising players who ,being smart, can see the writing on the wall and also see no future with Newco Rangers at all. Unless there was something in it for him why would Craig Burley simly not play the neutral card instead of blurting out such statements. Who got to Craig from the upper echelons of Scottish football.? There is an old saying..." When you hear a man speak, consider his interests.". Craig must be in a wholesale panic to have jumped into the cauldron like this.Or severely threatened or pushed? Mr Burley STILL does not get it. This is NOT about money but, for once in this greedy, money-mad planet, a resounding shout for justice, honour and integrity. The average fan, who is essentailly the life blood of the game, is fed up with the SUITS and wants to get back to the basics of fairness and playing by the rules. The suggestion that the beaks of the upper echelons either sack themselves or disband in some way is amusing because how can the Management all sack themselves at once? Who is going to settle the lawsuits for the sik suits and for them to voluntarily give up the golden feeding trough is unthinkable. A pox on their houses but, being realistic, for them to resign enmasse would be a disaster and make Scottish Football the laughing stock of the world. Resigning en masse would be seen as their admisssion of failure and a perception that they were about to scuttle and desert the sinking ship. There would be no job for any of them anywhere else after that. The doors everywhere would slam shut with a reverberating clang. No one likes dirty laundry to be washed in public. Newco to the 3rd division is a must and it should happen.The cries in the wilderness to let them stay in the 1st Divvy are cries of panic and despair. To hear them is one thing but to support them is another and the latter would be the worst thing for football in general that has ever happened in Scotland. Oh My! Am I ever looking forward to a more equal SPL with even Celtic feeling the financial strain and other clubs actually getting a fairer chance to shine and maybe win the league. and THAT would be the best thing to happen to the SPL and this alone might spark a fan regeneration for the clubs.

Tch! Tch!--Now ICTChris , we'll have none of that there 'ere , mate ,as they say in MACCLESFIED. There are times when Renegade is well worth listening to but, obviously, youse is entitled tae yer opinion, like. And to Churchillsilkman--well, if what you say is accurate, then I suppose we should want him to stay for heiver and heiver? Maybe Terry can STEER him in the right direction. :love02:

LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE A HIT WITH THE GIRLS THEN - CLASSIC GALLIC LOOKS AND ALL. IF HIS PLAY MATCHES HIS COOL CUT THEN THE CROWDS AT TULLOCH MAY BE ABOUT TO INCREASE DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE RELATIVE LONELY LIVELINESS OF THE LOCAL LOVELIES. GOODNESS, MAYBE THE PIMPLE HAS UNDERESTIMATED THE DEVIOUSNESS OF TERRIFIC TERRY'S MIND. AND MO OF COURSE.

Well, Spain wer not the worst offenders but this pitterpatter passing sideways and who are rarely to be found on the wings and are just as rarely a target of passes. And Iniesta looks too much of the spitten image of Landon Donovan of L.A. Galaxy for my liking.--I mean that's uncanny. Don't you agree I.H.E. ? Whatever happened to the fleetfooted winger outpacing the defence and cracking an accurate blistering pass along the front of the goal? Looks like gone are the days of the mazy dribbles , the mesmerising footwork of the stars of yesteryear--the Georgie Bests, the Willie Waddells, the Jimmy Johnstones of a past, perfect era where men were men and women hoped they would come home half sober and with at least a half-full paypacket so that the weans could get their porridge in the morn. Spain were goooood , yes, but when that Italian fella had to go off injured leaving the forlorn team down to ten men why can't the rules be bent to allow for another substitute to come on.? The guy gets injured and the ref penalised the team so that they sustain a relly rough defeat. What's fair in that? It's ridiculous ! Oh well, good luck to our new substitute goalie from Spain but he will have his work cut out to measure up to Iker Casilla. Apparently the former Spanish boss had high hopes that our new man woudl be real competition for the place to compete with Mr Iker. Total class, eh? Looks like we could have a good acquisition here. Adds flair anyway and it's getting quite exciting all this coming and going with players from all over the world. Who would have thunk it--the Pimple ever admitting to getting excited by the prospect of the import of foreign players? It's all I.H.E.;s fault...... :love02: .

IHE Do you think you could have a word with that frenetic penguin. He obviously knows his way around a keyboard. I,m in desperate need of a Vision Board 2 with large 1 inch keys. Looks like he is having a whale of a time though. Walmart has them in the United States of Americcy but won't ship them to Canada, not even to their Walmart stores in this country. Why?- Because they have a buyer for the U S and a separate buyer for Canada.--and never the twain shall meet ................ GO Figure! In any event we have had an EAGLE playing for us so why not a Raven? And I am sure there must have t least one Robin in our past even if he wore a Hood=ie ? Oh well, hopefully he will turn out real good and then some of the posters won't have too much to.. grouse.. about...eh?

O K Let's welcome them all. Does anyone agree with me that it seems as if our reputation as a career regenerater is gaining steam in all parts South--even as far away as Spain? If some of these boys could be persuaded to stay here in Inverness then I could see some method in Terry's madness. will be the next player next to step off the plane at Dalcross--Oops! Sorry--Inverness Airport . If this continues at the current pace then Terry could do a deal with the descendants of Friesen Air Transport service who, as I recall, used to fly float planes in and out of Inverness. Thinks...using the ater to land on would save the airports service fees. What a thought, Terry?

Do what i am contemplating, send themn a cheque

Oh My! How the mighty, dependable and canny Royal Bank of Sotland has fallen.

Bucket was right on the ball with this post. It's the future we need to worry about and the loss of identity that ICT has, their place in North Football and Scottish football also. If Caley Thistle are unfortunate enough to get relegated in the near future then how stable is Terry Butcher's job? And if, he were unfortunate to lose his job what will happen to the team then? The probability of more loaness coming year after year from the South will be much less and ICt will then have to scramble like crazy to tget a team together that can even get back i nto the SPL. For sure, chaos will rein and this is niot a stable platform at all on which to build a team of the future. Whether or not Terry can get a team together to allow ICT to just survive, the fact of the matter is that the heart has been ripped out of this Inverness team and dpression and a strong element of disbelief, and resignation to the fates, prevails in it's place. The spirit is not what it was and if all we have to look forward to now is more of the same coming in from England with the same merrygoround occurring at the end of every season then that is not what I want or what i think is in the best future interests of Northern football. Period.

Bringing on the local youngsters is a postive move in itself since ,If he succeeds then ths will inspire ohers to work hard . May have to put a bit of wreight oi though if he is to succeed in the SPL don't you think?

More money perhaps but to a team which is not that much better at all than ICT --so if he continues to shine amid the relative mediocrity around him and comes out still shining at the end of the season why is that not a good move for him? If he went to a bigger team with a lot of so-called stars in it then he might not stand out so much. He is not from Inverness so he can hardly be called a disloyalist and he is still very young and not THAT experienced a player so if he keep his cool, and his mouth shut and does the business on the field, I think he could ultimately get a very good move south within 2 seasons. At his stage he has plenty of time to develop and is quite entitled to move on to pastures new if he is ambitious. Good luck Jonny; just concentrate on working hard and doing the business.

This piece of news is one of the most heartening evens in recent Caley Thistle history. Congratulations to Mr Cameron for taking this realistic and far-sighted step. Endorsing the fans support along with the integrity of Scottish Football is a massive fillip to the loyalty of the fans and uplifts the spirit of everyone. Frankly I find it very inspiring and probably will be the catalyst for a resurgence of the spirit a****st the fans. Boy, we sure need it since it has not always been beer and skittles last season has it? Let's be generous in our financial support and I hope that the first home game this year will be a sell-out. Yes!!!! I'll be in ntouch about the greenbacks, Scotty. We now gotta put the money where our mouths are these days.

Remember to give old Scarlet a shout when you want the money Scotty.

Yo Ho Ho Mo and Terry One gets quite merry Terry and Mo And the other sits on the p..roper seat.

I H E -- I ham :love02: eccentric.

OTJ looks the part. Injuries can't often be helped especially when he is playing hard. Have to give him a chance to come good and then hopefully he will appreciate the confdence in him .

Looks like Terry may be herd-ing them in then?

And we musn't forget Canada's most notorious killer --Willie Pickton--this sruffy degenerate guy lives only in the next suburb to me , notorious for killing 38 women. The figure is indefinte but is presumed to be many more, by slaughtering them at his pig farm, then disposing of these poor girls' remains ...well, you know how. Thank goodness I went off meat quite a long time ago. His only rival is Cliiford Olson who delighted in torturing and then killing young peoplebetween 30 and fifty we beleive.. This is one person who will never grace the streets of Vancouver ever again. If they let him out of his solitary confinement cell in to the public domain he woud be swarmed one dark night by a pack of wailing coyotes .Meanwhile he rots in his lonely cell awaiting death I suppose.The rumor is it that the other lowly prisoners in there are itching to get their hands on him Oh! I forgot to tell you that the cats' bits and pieces that have been found in Maple Ridge, B.C. over the past few weeks was not actually the work of a hman being after all ; it was them thar predatory coyotes. Apparently they have very strong jaws and simply bite off the head or bite the cat in half. They always hunt in packs at night and when they corner a kill the whole pack lets out shocking yelping sounds. It's enough to get the hair on yer neck standing up. and its at time like that that Scarlet grasps his Teddy Bear more tightly to his bosom. They look like a cross between a small wolf and a fox with a long snout and eyes that give you a very confident and baleful look if you look down on one from your rear balcony.

Beaver one , beaver 2 I'm a frog, who are you? :love02: I'm a cat and I sit on the mat, He's a prat and that's that. The other guy looks rotten and really rather ropey I think he's a on drugs and is a bit dopey Wish the season was about to start Oops, gotta run, had too many beans and have to .....f ly

IHE when you are on , I'm not aware of any other poster . The master of the rebuff--he either slams it, reduces the previous poster tae tears by the use of confuscating, elaborate, Charles -Bannerperson-ish language or ...ignores it. (the ultimate snub). He's the top

I can only dothat Manfer f you will hold me hand, Son.

Blimey, Charles them thar trucks and the thought of you sitting in the driving seat with your mortar board on and yer robe sleeves flying out the window in the breeze really conjures up visions of past grandeurs. But wasn't that the era of the starting handle. Oops,, that was pre-war wasn't it and and you are not THAT old are you ?
