RiG

I have signatures turned off. It could be anything for all I know.

#pedantalert There is no such thing as the SPL anymore. It folded 4 years ago.

Found some Villa fans chatting about him on Twitter and saying he was a defender and DM. Sounds like a bit of versatility which is what we need.

None of them have signed yet though Ridgers is imminent and Oakley has been offered a deal. Baird is our only confirmed signing.

Probably waiting for the email to come through with the contract offer. That seems to be our preferred method of dealing with players these days.

This is the market we are in. Young guys who feel they have a point to prove and probably won't cost us the earth whilst they try and achieve some success. Fingers crossed we pick up another Hayes type player for this season.

Lawton apparently hasn't played in nearly two years due to a serious knee(?) injury.

Out of interest, what kind of infrastructure are we talking about here?

So, as Chris says, we've had Josh Meekings find out via Twitter that he wasn't getting a new deal, Duncan Shearer getting an email and voice mail that he wasn't getting a new deal and the club not even bothering to let McNaughton know that a contract offer has been withdrawn. Throw in the laughable season ticket launch and you've got a pretty shambolic 'off season' from ICT. How many more PR mistakes can we make in the space of only a few weeks?

If Boden has even been back in the door since the end of the season...

Meekings is feasible but Dundee wouldn't be able to pay a fee for Draper. Also, Dundee fans have a reputation of being notoriously deluded about their club. See some of the weapons on P & B and their hilarious valuations of their players. Some genuinely thought they could get seven figures for players like Stewart and Hemmings.

You are allowed to miss the odd game you know

Tram to Edinburgh gateway and change onto a service heading to Montrose then get a bus or taxi to Brechin.

Out now and are of course subject to change as the TV companies still need to select what matches will be shown. Obviously not a massive issue for us normally and even less so this season but some games are still shown on Alba. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/inverness-caledonian-thistle/fixtures We open with Dundee United at home followed by Dunfermline away and Morton at home before a trip to Brechin to round off August. Tough opening set of games. Christmas will see us travel to Morton and Brechin before a New Year "Derby" v Livi.

Can't make out all of the text as the quality is rubbish but the back page of the P & J on Twitter confirms the Ridgers move and apparently means that OFW will be moved on.

I wouldn't expect megabucks fees if we were a Premiership club either.

All the teams in the group have agreed to charge fans the same admission for each of the games. A good move from all the sides. http://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/prices-slashed-for-betfred-cup-fixtures/

https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/1269483/shearer-frustrated-did-not-get-face-to-face-meeting-with-caley-thistle/ So folk on here think the appropriate way to tell someone their services are no longer needed is to do it via email and leaving a voicemail rather than have a face to face chat with them? Regardless of how Shearer left the club before two wrongs don't make a right and this is a pretty shoddy way to treat a long serving club employee. Whilst there was a follow up phone call between the chairman and Shearer that doesn't disguise the fact that it was initially handled in a piss poor manner. Yet again the club find themselves having to take corrective action to clear up another PR mistake. We just don't seem to learn.

Irrespective of whether or not we had a development side going into this season to get rid of a long standing employee of the club by email is absolutely scandalous*. *Disclaimer: Again, if this is true.

That's the sole "source". Sadly, as Yngwie points out, it seems Birmingham are ready to listen to offers but apparently it would command a transfer fee of around £150,000. Just a wee bit out of our reach unfortunately!

Have a look 14 posts up.

That's fucking pathetic if that's true. The P & J are also running a story that Danny MacDonald is the new GM.

Excellent prices for the Brechin (and Falkirk) games. Obviously the free entry for ST holders is only for the Brechin game. Good stuff from the club.

Because (some of) these former players are good ones who might be available so they might be considered less of a risky, unknown signing. If we were offered the services of former players like Shinnie x2, Watkins, Christie you'd say no because they were former players? Doubt it. ETA: Just clocked who I was replying too
