  1. I thought the filming was very high quality better than sportscene really, and the closing sequence was superb. Johnboy I think you would be better to ask bbc scotland to cover div 1 games rather than complain about bbc alba all the time it is after all doing what it is set up for which is gaelic programmes. I don't speak gaelic but I have no issue with those who do, I do think the dual road signs are a waste of time and especially insulting to those in Caithness or aberdeenshire, but I dont grudge them a telly channel.
  2. 200,000 Surely first division games could be covered by anybody who buys the rights, personally I am delighted that gaelic money is finally being put to some good use. I presume those that dislike the gaelic are free not to watch. You are in the highlands of scotland if folk want to talk odd languages, wear kilts, play bagpipes you are just going to have to take it.
  3. Croylo replied to Doofer's topic in Caley Thistle
    Compelling read and very honest, Interesting that his most successful and enjoyable work seems to be in social work. I look forward to his next book "How I knocked all the gambling and drinking crap on the head, to become the next scotland manager". Seriously his teams were good despite the out of control lifestyle, he should take a job with a lower english team build back up his reputation.
  4. Good advert for the game, after getting cut loose by Man U, he has had every opportunity to bad mouth them or ferguson, but never has that is why he got his ovation. Better role model than George Best or Gazza, never backs away from a challenge but don't remember him starting trouble much either. After returning to the MLS from Italy he was getting dogs abuse from the fans but he kept the head and won them over again. The mistakes he has made hes learnt from, how many other celebrity players can say that. For all those that don't rate him, imagine if he was scottish.
  5. Leave him be now, we all spit the dummy from time to time and sometimes we regret it. What is it they say, by all means write an angry letter but don't post it untill the morning. whats surprising me is how positive some of these posts have been about the team. Its like a different forum.
  6. Is ICT away record (where they don't boo) better than their home record (where they do)?. You are there to support the team, sing the songs and enjoy the atmosphere. If you dont like the performance go and watch someone else. Or go and watch a highland league game and watch supporters who believe in their team regardless.
  7. "To toe a company line". Some of the ideas here are a little bit archaic, most of all that an employee must agree with everything his employer does. Do all Tesco employees have to be happy that the company is driving down the price of produce to such a degree that farmers are unable to make a living. Or all Primark employees have to be happy that their product is flouting child labour laws. All employees whether paid or not have to constantly assess the facts and decide whether or not they want to work in this environment. Employers cannot decide that they dont wont someone to work with them because of their beliefs and or complaints. If Caley D was let go because he wasn't very good or because he was causing trouble at his work then fair enough. But as far as I gathered he wasn't abusing his position, and regardless of his personal opinion was putting his all in making sure that people enjoyed the footballing experience, Also he was going to enhance that with footage of the games which we have all missed. If his employers had judged him to have crossed a line then they should have told him what they expect and Caley D could have decided if he could live with this. To let him go in such a manner shows a lack of respect and a lack of professionalism, it has also made Darren look like a puppet with no real power. It would have been far better to sit him down after a game and have a quiet word.
  8. "I would doubt there was much Darren could do" - We are all free thinking individuals and he decided to fly with the crows, pretty poor after Caley D defended him over the Pie shop business.
  9. Fair play to you Caley D, for the time you put in at the club and for not coming on here ranting when you got dumped on. Shame to see Darren has become a puppet so fast, I think everybody wished him well not long ago. The oddest part of this is how scared these people are of one person repeating the facts as they happened. So keep it up, dont let the b'stards get you down and the club is all the poorer without you. I read these forums quite a lot, never comment cos of all the shouters, whingers and blowhards on the site but I have never been compelled to boycott a Caley game untill now. P.S. Can the blowhards not use this post to underline their on point as that's just tedious.
