I agree that we should do all that we can to encourage responsible behavior and respect but there is, in this day and age, no excuse for a large human being in a position of influence assaulting another smaller more vulnerable person no matter what the provocation. I speak as one who has been sorely tempted to wallop my own kids and others on many occasions !

He's a competent player who can play in a number of positions and he is still young and developing. A useful addition to the squad.

I know, it's a dilemma. It tends to be the same group of people who volunteer for school boards and other bodies who end up in positions of influence often quite unrepresentitive of those they purport to represent. Maybe there's an argument for approaching people at random drwan from the electrol roll or council tenants list.

I agree with tha last sentance but many of the issues which bring children and famlies before the systwm are rooted in poverty, relative or otherwise, and it would certainly help if those affected by those issues were dealt with by people more akin to their peer group.

Didn't realise that Inverness was so far from England.

Bodes well for the future.

I encounter the Childrens Hearing system from time to time and while it tends to work reasonably well on limited resourses my concern is that, in this area at least, the panel members tend to be middle class and comfortably off whereas most of those children an parents appearing before it are not. In my opinion it's not just about numbers but reaching out to recruit members more representative of society as a whole than is currently the case. It seems to me that it's often difficult for even well meaning individuals to fully appreciate the difficulties faced by families from radically different backgrounds to their own.

Things Can Only Get Better.

Is that not what we're talking about, Nairn County ?

I like the current away strip. My least favourite, apart from the Caley strip we played in at the very outset, was the one that resembled a cross between the Rangers strip and the England cricket team one day outfit.

So would I. It must be nearly twenty years since I was last at Station Park.

A reasonable draw with a good opportunity to reach the quarter finals after which anything is possible especially if we can rediscover a bit of form. Can't complain about being drawn at home again.

Spooky !

While there might be an argument for regional zoning of first round ties on economic grounds, I think that that would dilute the national aspect of the tournament. If clubs are fearful of the cost of long trips they shouldn't enter in the first place.

On balance, if the game was meaningless for ICT, I'd take a Hibs league win. If, on the other hand, even a single league place was at stake, I'd want ICT to prevail.

We want to progress as far as possible in a competition we've never fared particularly well in. East Fife at Inverness will do just fine.

At least we now have some semblance of defensive cover.

Just to be clear, nobody actually died in the rece outrnbreak of e coli in Paisley. The Dean Shields song was in poor taste.

Extremely inconsistent but probably better cover and competition for Fraser than Ridgers.

On that sort of display we will not be bottom for long.

Good move if it's a loan deal. The boy has long term potential.

Celtic have a chance of finishing second if they can sort out their away form. I can't see Rangers finishing anything other than last in their much tougher group.

Pension protester interrupts ICT training session.

Not before time. Pedantic I know but why is this thread in anything goes rather than non ICT ?

I thought that Alan Savage told the media that there was money in the kitty for Brewster to bring in new faces if he desired.
