I think the point is that we have no bank debt (loans or overdraft). All companies have creditors, just because of the way normal business transactions are usually settled in arrears - paying suppliers, utility bills, VAT, PAYE etc. general running costs then?

Not looking to argue with you CD because you seem to have a better grasp on the financial aspect of the club than I do but there's a couple of things you mentioned that don't sit well: Even if it is a quarter of the ?5mil figure quoted... that's a lot of money to invest. Why would you hold that against him? If you were investing your own cash in the club would you not expect shares in return? Again, I don't think it's fair to hold that against them. It seems clear to me that the stadium ownership is the major issue here. From the sounds of it we are no worse off than the majority of clubs in Scotland... infact if we have no debt (CD please feel free to explain the difference between a Creditors column and debt because they sound exactly the same) then we are a lot better off.

:blah01: Na, not entirely won over but you have to give the man some credit... we asked for a responce and he's given one. There are still a lot of unanswered questions but unless he is bare faced lying (always a possibility)... 2 very important facts to pick out from his statement: 1) There is no debt 2) There is money in the bank

gave me a sore head :blah01: na credit to everyone involved.. great noise, it made me think I was at some sort of obscure Uefa cup fixture with the constantly repeated chorus. Killie fans must have been wondering wtf was going on one complaint.. it's always been and always will be 'CALEY ARMY'.. I can't stand the 'loyal army' p!sh!!!

Good read that... Connsidering we were calling for some communication from the board, Sutherland has answered a lot of questions. From what he says there we have no debt and money in the bank

I hate that we always seems to be in the shorter groups.. generally mean we miss out on 6 points against a weaker side. Horrible group but I'll keep the faith... Getting tickets sorted for the 13 of March so hopefully have an indication of Levein's approach then

Plan B - Stay too long Sub Focus - Could this be real

what a legend.. Avram must be hung like a donkey if he can keep his mrs that happy

the Walter Smith interview

Di Canio (playing for Sheffield Wed) when he pushed the ref over

not sure if this is what you're after but: Ian Maxwell hitting the ball off Brewster's face for Dundee United to win the scottish cup Zidane's headbutt on Materazzi Kubialy Turkyilmaz back heel against Rangers which left Gazza & Laudrup looking like complete numpties Larrsson's chip against Rangers Redondo's back heel/flick against Man U Zidane's volley at Hampden to win the champions league final

Ah what ever happened to James Richardson? :moon2: Back in the day's of Gazetta I loved watching Parma... what a team; Buffon, Thuram, Dino Baggio, Veron, Crespo, Chiesa, Asprilla... I used to have a bet every year with an Inter fan obsessed with Ronaldo (the fat one) to be fair at the time he was an outstanding player That was when Italian football was by far the best league in the world

P&J clicky All sounds very amicable when Terry says it.. CALEY Thistle manager Terry Butcher believes Irish winger Jonny Hayes will excel after the departures of Dougie Imrie and Andy Barrowman this week. The 22-year-old Hayes has shown flashes of potential on the left wing, tormenting First Division defences with his skill and pace. Butcher was not bound by financial necessity when deciding to sell Imrie to Hamilton and terminate the contract of Barrowman before the latter?s deadline-day move to Ross County. The Inverness manager spotted Hayes when the player was in Reading's youth team and is sure the Dublin-born attacker can improve his game. Butcher said: Jonny offers us so much. I think he is going to be a super player. He takes our set-pieces. You generally give the responsibility to someone with a bit of experience. He is only 22 and has no experience of playing competitively at a high level, but he has been tremendous. He has learned a lot this season and developed into a much better player. Butcher is satisfied after trimming his squad and believes fringe players Eric Odhiambo and Robert Eagle are capable of forcing their way into his first-team plans. He said: There was no financial need to sell Dougie Imrie and Andy Barrowman. I was never told by the directors we had to sell players. Dougie's contract was up at the end of the season and Hamilton showed interest in him as well as Kilmarnock. He was a commodity which had a value and it was a chance for him to play in the SPL again. Andy was at the club for some time and had not tied down a regular first-team place. Everything was very amicable with him. Every player needs to play on a Saturday and, unfortunately, he did not have the chance to do that with us. Also, there is still a lot more to come from Eric Odhiambo and, with Dougie Imrie going, it opens it up a bit for him to come through. Robert Eagle will also have a chance. Are we making something out of nothing??? or is this a smoke screen???

Would have joined you lot but got a game through Kilbirnie before hand and it's quicker for me to drive through to Killie from there rather than come all the way back to Glasgow. I've got a few mates heading from Central so I'll let them know where you are...

And if you enjoy women? My wife disagrees with the equivalent stance. It's often said though that in his life, a man can love many women but only one football team. I am football's equivelant to Bob Marley ;)

I hate the idea of people trying to tell me (anyone) who they can or can't support. I've been influenced/followed many teams across europe and tend to vary my opinion every season. I'll always follow ICT because they are my local team but I used to have a affection for West Ham in the early 90's when Harry Redknapp was incharge and they were producing the likes of Lampard, Ferdinand, Defoe, Cole, Carrick... the legend that is Steve Lomas... supported Ajax because I liked the strip and Edgar Davids... Middlesbrough for a while when Juninho was showing people how football should be played... Chelsea when Zola showed that size doesn't matter ;) ... Leeds when Viduka, Smith & Kewell were making their way to Champions league semi final... Any team that plays Scottish players i.e. Birmingham & Everton now-a-days. I've always had an admiration for Man U just out of appreciation for one of the greatest managers to ever live (Paisley & Shankly were before my time) If you enjoy watching football what's the point in limiting yourself

Sounds good although I hope Diane Knox isn't doing it... her words hurt my brain!!! ;)

Well said Scotty..

I think Wyness could do that job... for the remainder of the season anyway :024:

.... they make it sound like an inconvenience to transport... i.e. things would be made a lot easier if they built a road through it (possibly jumping to conclusions there though)

Name a viable alternative then

Good read Scotty... certainly a lot more detail than the official site.

Aye, Don seems to be doing really well at Watford. How long before a Premiership team come in for him I wonder ? :024: he's a bit off that I think, Watford hadn't won a game in 8 before last night's result..

I've always been a massive fan of Robbie Keane, terrific player and it's not great seeing his career tarnished just because he moved to one of the evil sisters.... but I think having a player of Keane's quality playing in Scotland can only be a good thing for the SPL. Hopefully some more quality players follow suit or the ones that are here already (i.e. Kilmarnock last night) up their game had to laugh last night though

:024: To be fair he has 5 in 5 from cup games and I don't know the sort of opposition Brechin were up against, still, I'm glad to see him enjoying his football I can't imagine he would want to come back to ICT but you have to be impressed with that record especially when his team aren't exactly dominating the division and he is only 22 yrs of age.... I think there will be a lot of teams taking note of his progress .... and hopefully a few of our own fans questioning why they were so quick to dismiss him (infact, taking pleasure in humiliating a young ICT prospect)
