Hey Johnboy,are you on a commision if Robertson gets the gig?

Been hearing a few good reports about Fiinlays, reckon i'll give it a go in the not too distant Any excuse for a beer

A large part of the problem with relegation, is many of the "better" players ,depite having been part of the team that got relegated, believe thay are too good for the first division and jump ship at the first opperchancity ,this, coupled with the huge drop in revenue, make receruiting good caliber players with enough fight too get back up very difficult

I'm sure they will survive, but regretably, i'd put a large wad on there being a Dundee V ICT geme next season and i dont expect promotion fae oor team ??

I personally think the whole money thing is obscene but the following nicked off another site is worth a read .... Overheard telephone dialogue between Man City and AC Milan superstar Kaka. Unfortunately I only have the script from the City end but I think it is clear for all as to the total content: "Hello, is that Kaka? How do you fancy becoming the supply line to Craig Bellamy and Darius Vassell this winter? "No, your fellow countryman doesn?t like the cold and will be out until mid April - but you will play alongside Stephen Ireland" "No, Kaka, Ireland is a person not a country" "yes, I fully appreciate that he is not Ronaldinho, Pirlo or even Beckham but many fans have him in their fantasy football" "I know you are currently the richest man in Italy but we can double it!" "erm, well, we have had a bit of a slide recently and we are currently 15th" "erm, out of 20...... but Mark Hughes once won the double for our neighbours" "Hughes" "Ex Blackburn boss" "Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers" "No, Blackburn......Black.....Burn" "HUGHES man, HUGHES!!!" "He once scored a good goal against Spain" "No, thats Gerry Armstrong..... anyway, are you coming or not?" "Usually about two thirds full but if we play a big team its really rocks" "yes I know, but we dont even have a car park because all the fans walk to the ground they are so local" "Relevance? well, I suppose its all they have to brag about whether its true or not" "Only the one to be fair but its called 'blue moon' you will love it" "Blue" "yes, definitely blue, always has been" "No, no, no, they are in Trafford" "yes they are, steeped in it in fact but what good is history to you my ambitious friend?" "erm, 1976 I think" "it was the er, the er League cup if memory serves me right" "Well, the plan was to get in the top 4 this season and then....." "yes, I realise that but....." "Aston Villa? Whats it got to do with them?" "Yes, I know but we have been down this history route already" "How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know about Nottingham Forest?" "Yes, yes, and Leeds United also made a final but you are missing my point, this is all about the future" "Give me strength......HUGHES!!!!" "yes I know he did and he was a legend there but he is a changed man" "forget them, they are falling apart" "But all those trophies were won last year! They have won nothing in 2009" "I have told you.... 1976!!!!" "How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know that Virginia Wade has won Wimbledon since then?" "Yes she probably is in her 60's" "I dont know, probably about 10 league titles, 2 european cups and countless domestic cups what has that got to do with it?" "76,000 why?" "yes, every game, even minor cups I suppose, but where is this getting us?" "Yes, the league cup is considered a minor cup over here why?" "I know, I know, I know, ok perhaps they won the FA Cup in 1970 or something does it really matter?" "look, Kaka, we will treble whatever you are on now, buy you a mansion in Alderley Edge and give you a helicopter for your front lawn....are you joining us?" "NO!, its owned by the council - what has the ground got to do with anything" "well, officially its the city of manchester stadium but most people call it Eastlands" "EAST!, not Waste" "You will be adored there" "No, not there, here I meant" "No, thats Old Trafford, I meant adored here at Waste....erm, Eastlands" "Anderson??? what does he know?" "Ok I hear what you say, but other than Pride, Ambition, Achievement, History, Passion and a large car park - what can they offer you?" "what do you mean no credit left in your phone.....I phoned you" "Hello, Mr Kaka,...... Mr Kaka are you there?............................YOU RED B*ST*RD!!!!!"

The ski road up to Glenshee used to have a sign at the side of the road which read "If this sign is covered by snow the road ahead is impassable"

I presume it's just a quite news day but Brechin in Europe!!,big things are obviuosly expected of of Jim Duffy Brechin in Europe

Had thought about it JB,but unfortunately eh have to take a flyer doon to the Smoke at the weekend.Big game for ICT ,hopefully they can raise to the occasion. Enjoy yer day oot folks

This just gets better and better.... :thumb04: Could even become a bi-annual trip.... I'll be really upset now if Hamilton lose this game heavily and end up getting relegated on goal difference... That'll be you movin to Hamilton JB,cheap food and bevvy,brings oot the fifer in you eh?

As with most things these days the offended bus is full to overflowing with many jumping on to score points for their own ends. "I'm more offended than you are, so i am a better person"

I think it's symptomatic of the growth in Inverness and "City" status.Certainly more dodgy's kicking about these days but the population has near doubled in the time i've been up here.I dont think it's any worse and probably a lot better than most places of a similar size.

I feel a real pro will always give 100% to the club paying his wages, but what happens if the scenario arises where Cowie has signed a pre contract with Well and ICT are playing them in bottom 6 decider,will he quite as intent on securing points for ICT knowing next seasons footballing destinations may well hinge on it.We had this scenario with Derek Lyle last season signing a pre contract with Hamilton and the possibility till near the end of season we could be playing Accies in final game for title,this caused a huge amount of dissent and discontent amongst the support and i'm sure the dressing room.

Cheers for that DC,had one before and when i came to use it,it had run oot 3 days prior, won't mak that mistake this time

Think your mebbe's being a wee bit naive their BornCaley,maybe your moniker explains much of that but ICT have grown rapidly in a relatively short time as Inverness has experianced rapid growth and many incomers with strong loyalties to their home team are comman place at TCS.I regularly followed ICT and Dundee (I know their not SPL currently!) and know many more with similar split loyalties be it Hib/Hearts /Aberdeen even Yenited :o and of course many pre merger lads who chose one or other OF and still harbour feelings for them.It takes many years and several generations to build a loyal hard core fan base

Didn't even bother having a look at it this year, it's worn thinner than Rab C Nesbits vest, dated and just no funny.

Deffo a signed fotee Mantis, eh'll ask my brother who is more into fotee taking(this is his site Nevispix ) , he may remember who's copyright you have infringed!!

Braw snaps Mantis, noo,eh dinnae ken a thing about fotee's but, see that one of the Sligachan burn,is that an intentional replication of a classic pic or just coincidence? I grew up wi that pic on our hall wall in Dundee as meh Ma worked in Sligachan hotel as a girl.

Fecks sake you's guy's are pedantic,New year starts anytime efter boxing day no? anyway, meh opening gambit said "As it's near that time" JB, havenae heard hide nor hair oh FW, she disapeared coincidently aroond the time you vanished for several months ahd eh assumed you's had eloped into the hills high above Carrbridge and were living a life of double entendres...... "right FW i'm off for a few holes" "oooh Johnboy,i hope you have the energy" oh my!!!

You start celebrating Hogmanay on Hogmanay here???? :o oops! sorry

As it's near that time,just thought eh'd pop in and wish abody a happy new year, ken it's all a bit pear shaped doon TCS these days but look on the bright side, yer still in the SPL!!!! (is that a bright side?) Anyways,eh huv a feeling in meh water we'll be playin each other next season one way or the other,here's hopin it's coz we have a miracle revival under Jocky and no coz a certain arab taks you lads doon a league.For what it's worth eh dinnae think Robbo's the answer to yer probs either but at least the supporters trust are being proactive and taking action before a serious problem becomes a crisis. Guid luck whatever,and Happy New year to all on CTO.com,Speshly Maime,LG,Johnboy,BigTams,Alex Macleod, Mantis,Ywngie,CaleyD,Scotty,baith Paulibees,IHE,Caley 100,MFTJ,Charles Bannerman,Gringo and Gringo Jnr,Richard Fairbrass,Wanderer,SMEE and many more, some know me, some have just given me a good laugh,but guid new year to y'all

Good one CD.. Impossible to argue with that - But no doubt someone will try to.... What a load of old shecht,i'd like to argue wi that!! Seriously tho,i'm starting to get a bit of fitba Deja Vu here,real fans can see the obvious, whilst directors/board bury collective heads in the sand and tell us arrogantly that we should all be greatfull for what they have done for us! So sit doon,shut up and pay yer money ya ungreatful shower. (see y'all in the Innes next season!!!)

Johnboy, eh have it on good authority Brew will still be in charge next season,even if yer coming doon to Dens and yer ane beloved East End Park next season! Reckon he's here fir the lang haul, time will tell i guess. PS,how'd yer golf season go?

Stick a bit of tape ower the crack, buy some beer wi the 30 quid...Sorted

Cults??? ya cannae even spell it right Scotty Merry christmas folks,awa to crack open the guid stuff

It's no the teams that dissilusion me R,it's the pish that surrounds the whole game in Scotland,the politics,money,bigotry,harrasment,incompetance,SPL/SFL,etc etc etc ......................oh eh,and the cauld peh's anyway,rant over , hope abody at CTOL has a braw Christmas and Great New Year, if anyone see's me oot in Sneck ower the next fortnight feel free to buy me a pint
