To be even more of a pedant, there was indeed a team called Inverness Caledonian until they decided to drop the geographical prefix after taking the huff with the local authority who the believed wre trying to frustrate their attempts to relocate from Telford Street to the Carse.

What makes you think we have a zero transfer budget ?

I'm sure he will.

Not sure about the ICT youngsters as I don't attend reserve or under 19 matches but I fully agree with Alex Macleod's general comments.

I've never seen him play well. Not a good signing in my opinion.

A club legend despite his sojourn in West Lothian.

That will get them nowhere.

Nothing wrong with the principle. Let's hope he can put it into practice with some success.

I've only seen Watt once in the CIS Cup match against Arbroath. He seemed very capable albeit against lower level opponents. I would like to see him given a one year contract.

I fear that this is one prediction that IHE may have correct.

With all due respect to Blackieforce, footbasll management is quite unlike anyother job and, like it or not, it has become accepted for fans to siscuss replacements for managers who are still in post, especially those who have performed as badly as Craig Brewster. Ican't say I would relish it personally if it happened to me but it goes with the territory nowadays.

John Robertson, Billy Reid and Alex Rae would all be on my short list but, unfortunately, it looks increasingly like we will be kivking off next season with Brewster at the helm.

By all account' Greg Fleming had another outstanding performance for Gretna yesterday. With Zibi leaving he would be a great signing to put pressure on Mike Fraser for the 'keeper's jersey.

There was some sort of Representative game against Iceland around that time. I can't recall if it was a B international or under 21. I seem to recall that Scotland won but I can't remember the score or scorers.

Far from being an unimportant end of season affair, Saturday's match against St Mirren could have quite a bearing on the fortunes of either club. We will need to avoid defeat to ensure that we don't swap league positions with the Buddies and, while that might not have huge significance for this season, it may have a great impact on next. The league place at stake is worth ?70,000 which would pay the salary of a decent player next season. With both teams having a similar limited budget for players and with each showing every sign of battling against relegation next year whoever wins and can thus afford that extra player might just have the edge come next May. On that basis our last game might just be one of the most important of the season.

What surprises me, given that the merger was a decade and a half ago, is that so few seem to have had no allegiance to either club before the merger. I would have thought that at least a third of fans would have fallen into that category by now.

Well done to Craig Levein for having the courage to speak the truth. The irony is that he will be the one who ends up being diciplined rather than Mike McCurry who, if he was not being biased, was so incompetent that he should not be refereeing at SFL level far less the SPL.
