I was doubting if this match was even on tonight. Everyone on the Brechin thread was talking about Falkirk and nothing about Stirling.

I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for renegade last night. Id also have already left the house by the time Inverness decided to tell the public.

I see there's a few having a melt at the players we are linked with. I'll be reserving judgement until I see them play for us.

We signed Richie Hart from the Highland League when we were in the first. He turned out to be a great signing for us.

Seems a strange one on why he wouldn't go. Aberdeen have lost Hayes, Pawlett, McGinn and Jack in midfield. Surely his time was up at Aberdeen now. I really can't see them improving on the great past few seasons they've had.

I'm quite impressed by those numbers actually. Almost 500 for Cowdenbeath? I don't think they'd get much more or any more than that against us:

I've been to a few development games this season and a few in the lowland league too. There isn't much difference in terms of crowds at all. It's also likely they won't romp the leagues as they are just young boys learning their trade. I prefere the idea to loans. I would love Inverness and County to have B teams in the highland league rather than a development league. It gives the players a chance to play competitive football in a team that is almost going to be mimicking the big side so when they are ready they will fit in with tactics etc. I really don't see the issue with having them in at tier 5, highland/lowland level. Mantis as a fan of Whitehill Welfare what would be your opinion on playing a Hibs + Hearts colt side?

I'd welcome Nick Ross back in a heart beat. How many players are we going to be capable of signing who has played as much as him in the top league and still have a good few years in him. He would be a great signing for the championship.

I'm not quite sure what would happen if Stranraer B won the South of Scotland. Would the team in second automatically be chosen for promotion or would no one achieve promotion that year? The idea is to start the colt teams in the 5th tier. This would create a new league in the west which is highly needed for other clubs to progress up the pyramid. Adding Rangers and Celtic colts into a Lowland West would give teams like Auchinleck, Clydebank, Pollok, etc a chance to gain promotion without too much travel. Other teams such as Glasgow uni, Cumbernauld colts, East Kilbride, bsc glasgow would also then slip in. The only issue I have with it is the level they are able to move up to. I think the Lowland/highland league should be the cut off, or if it's in league 2 then regardless of where they finish in the league another team is promoted in their place.

So Hibs, Spartans, Stranraer, Stirling have all had colt teams in the past and no one bats an eyelid. What is the difference here? Is it just a hatred towards the OF? I don't get it.

Welcome back Robbo! I'm actually quite excited by this, I know he hasn't done much in a few years now but I still think he has a better pedigree than Sheerin. We can start looking forward to the signings now and only a couple weeks until the friendlies start rolling in. I had a worry that we wouldn't be good enough for top 4 this season but I'm now confident Robbo is the man to get us there in what will be a very tough league. He brought in some excellent players last time and I don't see why that would be any different now.

It's not a disaster in Germany or Spain, I think the youth teams coming up against lower league players is a better opposition. You seen that when they were all put out pretty much straight away in the challenge cup. If there was a reserve league where age wasn't a restriction it might be better but I don't agree the development league at the moment works well enough. I am open to new ideas, personally I think with this new idea will come a lowland league east/west split which they have been crying out for. This is what I want to see mostly. Once this split is created the couple hundred juniors could eventually be stuck on to the bottom of the pyramid without much issues.

Would you not be a little annoyed though if you could watch the same film further down the road at the cineworld or odeon for a fair bit less.

Has he left because of criticism or is there another reason? Sorry if I missed it I just didn't know why he had stopped completely that's all.

Signed in just to like this one.

Ok so I was wondering how our relegation season compared to others, here is a list of the bottom side since the introduction of 38 games. 2009 - Inverness 37 Pts 2017 - Inverness 34 Pts 2005 - Dundee - 33 Pts 2007 - Dunfermline - 32 Pts 2010 - Falkirk 31 Pts 2013 - Dundee 30 Pts 2015 - St Mirren - 30 Pts 2003 - Motherwell - 28 Pts 2016 Dundee Utd - 27 Pts 2011 Hamilton - 26 Pts 2004 - Partick - 26 Pts 2012 - Dunfermline - 25 Pts 2014 - Hearts - 23 Pts 2002 - St Johnstone 21 Pts 2006 - Livingston 18 Pts 2008 - Gretna - 13 Pts Looks like we were very unlucky again in terms of the amount of points gained.

Scott McDonald springs to mind here.

I went to new bay view around 98/99. East fife beat us 3-2 if I recall correctly. I didn't realise that was the only time we've played them there. I was there this season watching the Edinburgh city game in the cup and would gladly miss it for another 18 years.

Issue with using my phone at work to message

Best 3-0 away to Motherwell today. If st Johnstone win tomorrow we finish bottom

I don't know exactly what your hinting at but wouldn't it be the highland league these days as that's the lowest point of the pyramid.

To be honest although the picture quality wasn't the best I was happy it was available and watched a fair bit of it. The streaming on YouTube for the cup final was clearly better but I think that must be down to resources at hampden rather than it being better than Facebook.

Lost today to Celtic either 4-1 or 4-2
