IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Tomorrow the SFA will place the Newco in the First Division and may well cite the conerns of Kilmarnock, ICT and St Midden specifically.

I have just read ma feckin tecup and the Newco is in Division 1 next season - becos of Kilmarnock, Midden and ICT mainly.

Sorry but has anyone got the slightest suspicion that the "announcements" from ICT and Midden raise "reason" for the SFA to put the Newco in to Division 1 ?

What I was alluding to is that there is a "bond" between ICT and Rangers and that because of previous allegiances, business links and future politics that we are well and truly sitting in the blue corner and may well be "encouraged" to stick our heads above most others in support of the blue order and irritate and push others away.

All that now said I propose a vote of great confidence in Kenny Cameron and hope that he is very much involved in ICT and the Scottish game for many years to come. :clapping: Lets all go on a Muppet Hunt though.

I can sense the Muppets Theme Song may resound on a regular basis this season. What a feckin chance to put on a double header !!

I suspect that this thread has turned due to the personal feelings towards Dougal but Butcher and Malpas will always support the blue order.

:clapping: From the heart but do we not also need to jettison specific local muppets as well !!

As I have alluded to on the previous page the "excuse" is acceptable to US. The only difference is that it will undoubtedly be viewed by many as an "afterthought way out" and to me the statement is no longer deplorable but is pathetic. OF COURSE IT IS A BOARD STATEMENT AND THERE ARE THE USUAL GANG OF MUPPET COWARDS SITTING BACK AND LETTING POOR KENNY CAMERON TAKE THE BLAME AND THE FECKIN FLAK. Ferben is probably correct that they are all enjoying the Golf Hospitality too much to get off their fat greedy erses and take some of the flak themselves.

Repeat - The bottom line is that the statement should NOT have been made - FULL feckin STOP. But if the recent revelations are "correct" then indeed it could be the media wording that has driven this down a different track. But if the club are so quick to deliver a personalised e-mail why havent they issued a formal statement of retraction and clarification ?

Is this not a press statement from the feckin club ?

B But beware of skidmarks !

Is this thread not relating to which gears Laurence's car is more effective in ?

BOTTOM LINE - FINAL ANSWER CHRIS - WAS THIS STATEMENT MADE BY KENNY CAMERON a) personal OR b) made by Kenny Cameron on behalf of the Board of Directors ?? WAS THIS STATEMENT circulated for proofreading and acceptance by ALL the other members of the Board of Directors AND/OR Terry Butcher ?? IF NOT - who gave the "final" go ahead to pass this statement on to the press ? DON - I actually think that we are both doing the same thing here but the statement was wholly and utterly WRONG. I am more interetsed in establishing who the spineless muppets hiding under the rock are who were, in my opinion, THE people who should hold the responsibility and take the flak for this debacle. If this was misrepresented by the media lets have a statement from an emminent MUPPET and lets have a statement from the feckin CLUB.

Suggest that we get used to this title as this is what the large majority of fans are already dubbing us. This is clearly leading on to a "conspiracy theory" but how much are we beholden and "in league" with the club formerly known as Rangers ?

Yip - I was going to prolong my holiday - initially opposed by Mrs and Miss IHE - to take in the Brechin game. Going straight feckin home now.

most know a bit more about KC than to immediately jump to the conclusion that he was trying to stitch the fans up (has he ever done so before?) - nicely done as he is merely a scapegoat - and there's certainly those among us who should be capable of setting aside their "rally against the establishment" - the statement does nothing but stoke the fires - attitudes long enough to realise that their ramblings are actually doing more harm than good TO THE CLUB. - Nice emphasis on the capital lettering. Think for yourselves and don't allow others to do the thinking for you....the future of ICT could very well hinge on the conclusions you come to, especially for those who want to drive the man out the door. very emotive wording - the future of ICT hinges on the conclusions that the fans make from this statement ?? I have posted a break down summary further up this page - tell me and others what has been miscosrued ?

Bottom line from me - I am not blaming Kenny - as per usual this club have a convenient scapegoat. It is not "his" statement - or please feckin tell me that it isnt!!. It is the voice of the Muppets and it will be seen as the voice of Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The statement should NOT have been issued. There was no need for it. It is sheer amateurism. It has probably lost us money. Read the statement - it is not that open to misinterpretations. Of course the media will play on the words. That has to be expected. But look at the suggested straight "comments" attributed to KC. If they are misrepresentations from the media then lets issue that statement ASAP. I admire your support of KC and the club, not only today but for a long time, but your statements aimed at trying to deflect the blame on to the supporters of this club reek of "muppetry". The problem is that the issuers of the statement were not capable of joined up thinking not the members of this forum.This statement has caused the damage. The statement was full of feckin "ramblings"

Come on folks - say you went to a dog kennels to buy a pedigree. Would you go for the one with the fully signed off health check or the one who has suffered two broken legs in the past and needs to be limited in regrad to exercise.

Another feckin scapegoat who has fallen foul of the real MUPPETS. Mr Cameron is the one without the Tulloch tinted glasses.

Ok so the "merger" has raised its head again via the persistent Dougal - but I have to concede that there are definitely "links" at this juncture. The muppets have decided to join the Self Preservation Society on our behalf.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle Chairman Kenny Cameron announced that, following the decision by the Scottish football authorities to place the "newco" Rangers in to the third division, that the clubs' directors were holding an extraordinary meeting to review the financial situation and agree on a way forward to ensure the financial stability of the club in the short-term and the long term. Mr Cameron added "None of us will escape the financial fall out from this. The directors of ICTFT have always been fully aware of the financial implications should the final decision be to send the Newco to the third division but we now have to take stock in the light of that decision being finalised." "We have attempted to communicate closely with our fan base throughout these difficult times and have also stived to uphold the sporting integrity of Scottish Football. There are difficult times ahead for Inverness Caledonian Thsitle and many clubs in both the SPL and the SFL. Despite the negativity and pessimism abounding at the present time we are prepared to support the SFA, the SPL and the SFL in the pursuit of change and reorganisation whilst maintaining the stability of our club and hopefully promoting the survival of clubs in the lower reaches of the game, where our club was standing not so many years ago".

Wow - I have to concede that I am totally fed up reading about all this Rangers crap BUT this must clearly show to the Muppets (and they really are feckin muppets at the moments) that the fan base are mainly furious at this embarrassing statement. In my opinion it needs to be read several times with an "open mind" and it then comes across as being wholly open to different interpretations and is sadly "amateur" in its content. I am one who has been shouting from the rooftops about communication from the club and it has been significantly improved this pre season - albeit in line with the Newco fears. But it is one thing to post information / comments about new signings and football related issues but any political statements should really have been proofread by somebody with a PR background (I would have advised saying feck all at this junction, holding the Board Meeting and then making a positive statement). Lets have a wee exercise and break this muppetry into sections INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron says the decision to place the 'Newco' Rangers into the third division next season could "spell the end of football as we know it." - that is the most ridiculous opening statement as it immediately makes the hairs on the back of yer neck stand up, It simply broods the expectation of negativity. Scottish Football League clubs met at Hampden Park this morning to come to a decision on where Charles Green's newco Ibrox club would play,and 25 of the 30 clubs voted the club into the bottom tier. Cameron has said the club's directors are set for an emergency meeting this weekend to discuss the financial implications of the decision. What was needed to be said was that the board were meeting to review the overall effect on the club and to look at short term and long term action planning. The word "emergency" again is muppetry. In a statement, Mr Cameron said today was saddening for Scottish clubs, and that no club would escape the consequences. Again that has all been said and does NOT need to be repeated. Kenny may not have actually used the word "saddened" but that is the word that will evoke emotions and appear to be owned by our Board, The statement, in full, reads as follows: "There will now inevitably be serious consequences for the game in Scotland. Again WE ALL FECKIN KNOW THAT !! "We have all, as clubs, accepted the views of our stakeholders in making the initial judgement to uphold sporting integrity. Great and add that we as a Board fully supported that decision and will continue to work with the fans to get us through these difficult times. "All clubs will now have to live with the repercussions of this decision. Scottish football was at a crossroads today in terms of what was on the table for all clubs regarding reorganisation, financial distribution and a road map that would have taken the game forward. "But this has now been thrown in to disarray by this decision. This is a sad day for all clubs in Scotland." Absolutely shocking - it is a clip from media crap not a feckin statement from ICT - it has been copied and feckin pasted. Smacks of total negativity and a sense that ICT fully agree with th enclosed statements. It could be construed as an "attack" on the SFL. Mr Cameron added: "None of us will escape the financial fallout from this. There was an opportunity on the table, in terms of the joint agreement tabled at today’s meeting for us all to come together and a genuine willingness to improve the game substantially over the coming years. More media crap and a perceived attack on the SFL -!! "But it now looks as though this will once again be kicked back in to the long grass. A once in a lifetime opportunity to bring forward change may well have been lost. Total negativity. "The directors of ICTFC are fully aware of the financial implications of this latest decision on Newco. The loss of either our fans or our sponsors was never going to leave any of the clubs in Scotland in a healthy financial position and for some this could spell the end of football as we know it. If the Board are "fully aware" then just be positive and get on with Plan A, B or feckin C. "Certain clubs in the SFL have perceived the financial information they were receiving as a 'big stick' to beat them into accepting Newco in the First Division. This was definitely not the case, as far as I am concerned. What they were being told was the reality of the situation." By far the worst sentence of the lot IMHO and then he heaps pressure on himself with the use of the "I" word followed by a "they" statement. The chairman concluded: "We will be convening an emergency board meeting over the weekend to discuss the very serious financial implications for us as a club going forward." Just look at the usage of the words "emergency" and "serious". And I am afraid that the damage has been well and truly done and this is a statement that will be thrown back in our faces for a long time and one that we cant rubbish or heal with the greatest of apologetic "get outs". My only concern is that we step in the dog poo again with the follow up statement.

What is the big deal. I have had a ride in a police car from the TCS a few times in the past.
