Yip the dream is over but could be good bet for next season

Birmingham and the Baggies go down :(

Mike Bassett would seem the obvious choice now after the recent events :D

Good Luck to Peterhead and wee Stewarty in the Play-offs - here's hoping that we may see Ross County v Peterhead next season

1st/2nd DIV

Stranraer v Partick Thistle

Morton v Peterhead

2nd/3rd DIV

Arbroath v Alloa

Stenhousemuir v Berwick Rangers

Having watched him get stretchered off this afternoon I am sure that like Beckham's foot and then Owen's foot the papers and news are going to be full of the Fat Boy's foot.

Ah well I bet it is that famous metatorsal thingy again.... :D :D :D :D

eh....................that will be 1 in 14 now - NEXT :D

Has to be Utd at home and get the first hatchets out for Brewster :D

Yeh I agree - well done on another away win and an improvement on last season

Yeh not great but another 3 points and a 9th away win

What are the odds on Paatelainen as the next Dundee Utd manager? :D :D :D :D

Still a nice 1-0 win though after our recent poor results against Livi away this season

It ain't that bad except for the odd mafia hit - the people are friendly and the food and beer are cheap. There is also the excellent ski slopes and wine regions.

Still a bit of a police state though with about a policeman for every 5 citizens and all MPs have immunity against prosecution - so you can see why the EU committee are peeved off :D

eh....................................NO

It is reported that pre-season training will start on June 21st 2006 - that is early for the players

I can get it - I am not in UK though but don't think that should make any difference

I expect Dargo to be in the squad after the first of many call-offs are announced.

Looking forward to the Bulgaria v Scotland match - should be interesting in my local :nuts:

Interesting article wrt using the available money to reward the players by improving existing contracts. Also states that they may have sepcial conditions in new contracts wrt sell-on clauses etc - this is good news and protects the club.

CHRISTIE SET TO OFFER CONTRACT REWARDS

Inverness head coach Charlie Christie will limit his transfer activity during the summer in order to offer enhanced contracts as a reward for his best players this season.

The Caley boss would like to strengthen his squad prior to the start of the next Bank of Scotland Premier League season by recruiting a small number of players who can improve his team.

But, instead of blowing his budget on new signings, Christie is set to reward the efforts of players, who have propelled the Highland club into seventh place in the table.

Christie said: "One of my thoughts is to perhaps increase the terms offered to the players who have done so well here, rather than spending it on guys who may not be able to perform at this level.

"But, if we can sign two or three quality players and keep our current squad, then I am sure we will do really well next season."

Christie is also considering a minimum sell-on clause inserted in some contracts, in a bid to ward off interest in his most valuable assets, such as Craig Dargo.

The 28-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Dundee United and former Inverness boss Craig Brewster.

Christie said: "It is not something we have done to any great degree here in the past with any player.

"But it is feasible and would give us a bit of stability because we already know how much our players are worth.

"I would love to see Craig Dargo extend his stay with us and this would let him keep his options open, but I honestly don't think anyone here is thinking about moving on."

But Christie has told "one or two" of his current squad it is in their best interests to leave during the close season.

He added: "I have spoken to one or two other individuals who are under contract here and told them they will probably have to leave to enhance their career, especially as we have the transfer windows now.

"If they don't move now, then I am concerned they could be sitting here in September or October a little disillusioned at not playing so much.

"So they will think about what I have said and get back to me."

MUNRO GRANT-ED CALEY RETURN

Inverness Caledonian Thistle defender Grant Munro returns to the squad for the Bank of Scotland Premier League trip to Livingston after injury.

Midfielder Ian Black is continuing his rehabilitation after a medial ligament problem.

Defender David Proctor will have surgery on his shoulder next Tuesday and should be fit in time for pre-season training.

Livingston midfielder Allan Walker will miss the game.

Walker is beginning a two-game suspension after picking up his 15th caution of the season two weeks ago.

Midfielder Wes Hoolahan picked up a slight knock in a practice game this week and will be given a late fitness test.

Stade de France, Paris on Wednesday 17th May 2006 - ah but you can dream :nuts:

I have heard some very strange stories on this one over here - didn't see the Trev Mc programme so can't comment on that but I bet it showed some unusual practices

Excellent news - I wonder roughly how much the basic deal without additional live game revenue will be worth to ICT

What a load of danglies :shock:

Seemingly last seen playing for Petershill

According to the latest European club rankings we are ranked 5th in Scotland and 169th in Europe just above Sparta Prague and FC Cologne but just one place below those giants of Greek football Xanthi :shock:
