  1. Or to the tune of Floyds' " Brick in the wall". We dont need no Maradonna We dont need his ball control We dont pass to one another We just rush up to the gaols Oh Caley Leave us cnuts alone All in all Its just another hoof of the ball
  2. I have just been contacted by the Home Office and given them my verbal reference. The meeting is therefore still on-going at the time of posting. I think that my Romany humanitarian argument went down well and may just sway the verdict.
  3. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH and its Aquifer season.
  4. I have managed to covertly obtain a copy of the appeal drafted by Alan Savage which will be presented to the Home Office Permit Appeal Panel tomorrow. The document. in its entirity, is almost 10 pages long but I felt that the following two paragraphs highlighted how the appeal is based on footballing, political, cultural and humanitarian grounds. "We feel that Marius is a player of the highest calibre and would be able to contribute significantly to the development of the game at the top level in Scotland. He has played at the highest levels across Europe, representing well known clubs such as Dinamo Bucharest, Sporting Lisbon, Standard Liege and Mainz. He has represented his country (Romania) on 17 occassions, netting 6 international goals. His international career has been temporarily halted due to injury problems and contract issues with his previous club, Mainz of Germany. He will undoubtedly be a crowd puller in Inverness and will bring media attention to the footballing outposts of the Highlands. Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club has developed dramatically in the last six years and Marius will undoubtedly enhance this reputation and strengthen our finances accordingly. This could bring increased prosperity to the region as a whole. Marius will also be an added attraction to the ever increasing multi-cultural, international and cosmopolitan appeal of the SPL." "From a cultural and humanitarian perspective we feel that Marius could develop into a role model and icon like figure to the large ***** populations north of Inverness. We have received a testimonial from the Ross-Shire Romany Society who stress that Marius's Romany status would be inspirational to the local amalgamation of tinkers, caravan dwellers, peg sellers, travelling folk and beggars, predominantly populating the poorer areas of Dingwall and Easter Ross. It is envisaged that the mere fact that he can be seen to live, work and prosper in a big city would be inspirational in itself."
  5. Or could they claim that he was fraudulent when he listed his profession as a footballer.
  6. I thought that he was a full time DJ and played football as a hobby.
  7. Danny Dichio and Santa - Toronto is on the feckin world map.
  8. Perhaps we should add that he will be in close proximity to the ***** population of Ross-shire and is a high calibre Romany and his guidance could significantly improve the standards of caravans in the area.
  9. Dont worry - I am reliably informed by my mole in the Border and Immigration Agency Sports and Entertainments Team in Sheffield that Niculae is practically a 100% yes - and he has advised me that Marius clearly satisfies the criteria in regard to playing fer ICT in the SPL. Panels Where an application does not meet the published criteria, a club may request a panel to consider the player?s skills and experience. In these cases the sports and entertainments team, Border and Immigration Agency, will refer the club's evidence to an independent panel. Where possible the club?s supporting evidence will be sent to the governing bodies in advance for their consideration in order to allow an informed decision. The panel will normally consist of representatives from the relevant football governing bodies together with up to three independent experts. The panel's terms of reference are: To consider whether the player is of the highest calibre and to consider whether the player is able to contribute significantly to the development of the game at the top level in UK. The panel will make a recommendation to the Border and Immigration Agency whose decision will then be relayed to the club. Full terms of reference and roles of the panel members and the club are available to attendees. Clubs should note that, in respect of any application, there will only be one panel available (i.e. a panel and recommendation, followed by a decision). A club should therefore ensure that all evidence it wishes to present in support of its application is presented to the panel. If the club has previously made an application that was unsuccessful at panel a further panel cannot be requested for the same player during the season. For these purposes a season is deemed to run from 01 June until 31 May. Further information This criteria sheet should be used in conjunction with the Sports and Entertainments Guidance for Employers when making a work permit application. The above general criteria for work permit applications under the Sports and Entertainment criteria are available in the booklet ?Applying for a Sports and Entertainment Work Permit - Guidance for Employers?. These can be viewed on the website www.workingintheuk.gov.uk or are available in paper form from the distribution centre telephone 0117 344 1471 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

  10. I can only hope that one day we have the tactical prowess to feign a long throw, play it short and get someone to provide a cross ball into the six yard area. Or is that asking fer too much? :017:
  11. It often amuses me as to the stick that Rosscoe and Black get - it is because they are often so feckin blatant and obvious. Rosscoe's first crack at Beasley was simply to let him feckin know in an intimidatory fashion - the trip was a feckin classic tho - out of sight of every ****, apart from the cameras, and brilliantly executed and disguised. Darren Dods was a feckin master of it. Some of his off the ball obstructions, pushes and trips were feckin class. But he rarely got caught and rarely looked guilty and that is the art. Reckon Dodsy would have been feckin proud of Rosscoe.
  12. They have enquired about Webb in pre season. I would have said that was a good shout but Hastings at centre back has not been too successful in the past. I would think about giving Wyness and McAllister another chance.
  13. I propose that we all stand in unison fer 10 minutes and continually chant "Stand Up fer the Caley Jags". :001:
  14. Cannot believe the comment that it had nothing to do with tactics - Walter Smith totally outsmarted CC, who fell into the trap hook line and feckin sinker.
  15. Picture will be clearer after the Well and Midden matches SP- defence was the main worry - Caff looked out of sorts, Granty was all over the place trying to assume control - It looked as if the tactics were fer Granty to go foer everything and let Caff sweep - but that is nigh on impossible to do when you are holding a high defensive line. Most times the ball fell to Caff he was under pressure and had to welly it but when he had times he appeared to need an age and was almost blocked a few times. Rosscoe was also holding the high line as well and against a speed machine like Beesley that is football suicide. Dods used to cover Rosscoe going forward last year but that did not happen. Plus Walter Smith had obviously sussed out our right sided weakness right from the off. That was also because Bazza was in right midfield and is hardly the best to provide extra defensive cover. Hastings only looked dodgy when Novo arrived on the scene but at least he had Rankin as back up. The other problem was Barry Ferguson and again that was good tactics from Smith. He played Ferguson in a more forward role and McBain could not contain him. Duncan may have been the better option as he would have filled the gap naturally. The main debacle was playing Rory as the target man and Wyness slightly deeper. That in effect rendered us totally sterile up front. It affected the whole game as we oftenplayed all right up to the last third and then totally ran out of ideas. I cannot recall one instance where any of our players ran at their defence and tried to pull a cross back. It became desperate direct route stuff. As I have said on another thread we will be a different proposition away from home when we will be hitting peeple on the break. As fer Bamba I am reliably informed that we have made an offer which was deemed not enuff. If there eve was a time to sink into the profits it is now. TWO defenders and a cover goalie (at least on stand by) is required. Sounds ominous but we played tactically straight into Rangers hands and by the time CC had sussed it out we were 2-0 down.
  16. I NOW FEEL REFRESHED AND STRESS FREE :023:
  17. So where is the action on Friday 24th ??
  18. Thank feck we dont play those in bred feckin peg selling caravan dwelling feckin tinks any more.
  19. I'll be feckin there dude - with the Young Ones :022: singing Sloop John B. Bring it on and probably Take me out.
  20. Rangers facing probe over chants Rangers are expected to be reported to the Scottish Premier League because of songs heard coming from their support during Saturday's game in Inverness. They have already been sanctioned twice by Uefa after chants during European games against Villarreal and Osasuna were deemed offensive. It is understood events at Caledonian Stadium will be mentioned in SPL delegate Alan ****'s report. That is expected at the league's offices on Tuesday. Rangers could face a fine or have points docked but are more likely to escape with a warning this time. We will be looking into the circumstances surrounding today's game Rangers statement The club have had campaigns to eradicate sectarianism within their support. And a statement from Rangers following the 3-0 victory in Inverness said: "The club is wholly committed to continuing its efforts to eradicate inappropriate behaviour. The only way we will rid ourselves of this is for the club to refuse away tickets "We will be looking into the circumstances surrounding today's game." The Ibrox club find themselves under the spotlight again nine days after launching the 'Follow With Pride' campaign, which is aimed at cleaning up the club's image by ending sectarian and other abusive chanting.
  21. From Today's Herald. :rotflmao: Beasley against Ross Tokely was an antelope against a rhino, and the American was trampled so often he looked a little spooked and rushed his chances on those occasions when he did break clear on goal.
  22. I have got a funny feeling that our style of play will get us far more points away from home again this season - especially if we shore up the defence. We have come far too predictable at home but with some of the new pace - Deano and Cowie - and the hopeful appearance of Niculae - I can see us being a real threat on the break.
  23. Thought I'd let you all know that I have received a "pathetic" response from Mike Smith which did not answer any of my comments. Not even the hint of a "sorry". :008:
  24. Wow - Grumpy is back. :sillywave: They did have options. Black and Rankin and Wilson often made themselves available for a short pass but the "lump" was the preferred option - and not always under pressure. Agree with the most of the rest though :crazy07: We rarely played the ball wide - we rarely ran at them or took them on - our tackling wasnt too bad. It may not be a bad thing and I expect a backlash next week. :023:
