They're nothing to do with me.

The difference is that mine are knock-down prices and I just can't compete with knocked-off prices.

I have no idea how much Roberts would have been on at Arsenal, but I'd imagine it doesn't really matter as when you've got feck all money left in the kitty then you can't afford anyone I like Roberts as he's a really decent and pleasant young man...maybe a bit too nice for his own good, especially on the pitch. It really annoys me that some people spout nonsense about him being arrogant and/or having attitude as I didn't see a single sign of that in him...as I said, quite the opposite. Think he struggled a bit with the physical aspect of the game up here, but don't think he'll struggle to find another club as he clearly has something about him. I hear that Steve Marsella has been doing his scouting at the local courts in England on a Monday morning looking for all the thug footballers in an attempt to unearth a few more hard men...it's where he found Warren, Draper & Devine so it should bode well for the incoming players this coming season. (P.S. That last bit was a joke!!!)

"The Builder" hasn't had any direct connection to the club for quite some time...either as a member of the board or as a major shareholder.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Can we give it a f*cking rest with all the merger crap on every thread. The same few people dragging conversation onto that topic time and time again, boring the sh*t out of the majority of other users and killing the forum.

It was suggested that the painter continue and do the rest of the front of the building while he was at it...but that might have been taking it too far

Are we there yet...!!!

All the league goals are on a single YouTube Playlist -

Just a wee reminder that the cut-off for early bird prices is this Friday (7th June). The club are offering 5 Month (Interest Free) and 10 Month Payment plans this season....and if you sign up now you still get the Early Bird price. So no need to blow all your RockNess spends!!! Free Season Tickets for Under 12's and great deals for those aged 12-16 and 16-25. All the info can be found over on the official website at http://bit.ly/Zhn25Y Ticket Office open until 7pm on Thursday and Friday for those who can't make it down during normal opening hours.

There was nothing going on behind the scenes...other than Butcher identifying the need to do something a bit different against Motherwell (which worked) and OTJ tthen picked up a knock which ruled him out. I'm pretty certain he's left because people kept spelling/saying his name wrong.

No thanks.

I can't see us wandering too far from home for the bulk of pre-season, but if we could get a couple of games just a bit further afield then it would be good in terms of adding a little variety.

Caley Thistle wide man Aaron Doran has pledged his future to the club by penning a three-year deal. The former Blackburn Rovers player, who was 22 on May 13, has had a superb campaign in the team's surge to finish fourth in the SPL and has been rewarded with the longest contract the club has offered in recent years. http://ictfc.com/news/team-news/932-3-year-deal-for-doran

Should have made it clearer that the Legends were a fans team....much to the dismay of one of the journalists who didn't seem convinced when I told him that the fans were every bit as legendary at ICT as the players were!!!

ICT were leading 2-0 at half time, but following a half time player transfer the comedians won 3-4.

Not before time, IMO.

Often wondered, but never had the time to do the work on it, what has been our most successful shirt in terms of points earned/per game used?

Ross County do not have an official Facebook or Twitter page/account.

The problem, as I understand it, is that whilst there's perfectly "safe" smoke bombs which are cool burning and don't emit flames or sparks, there's also lots of more dodgy products out there which do. You then have military grade stuff which are hot burning and a real fire/burn hazard and these are still available from some surplus stores. The issue for police/authorities is that if they don't have a blanket ban on all of them then you run the risk of someone inadvertently using something dangerous and/or needing a process for checking what is being allowed in. Aside from the fire/burn issue, none of these things are designed for use in a confined location....and whilst a football ground may not be seen as that, it doesn't offer people the ability to easily and quickly move away from the smoke if they suffer any respiratory problems. Again, most of them are "safe" insofar as they don't emit anything noxious, but not all of them are. Also, whilst looking into the subject earlier this season, I took a look at stadium regulations for a variety of clubs across Europe and every one I looked at listed Smoke Bombs etc as being a prohibited item. Using Google you can turn up just as many instances of fans being arrested, imprisoned and banned from matches/stadiums abroad as you see for the UK. Just having another Google search of the subject and it looks like dozens of cases have gone through the courts in the past 18 months....so it would seem there's a huge clampdown on their use. Personally, as much as I quite like seeing it, it's not worth the risk....either in terms of causing harm to yourself and others, or for the consequences of being caught.
