So if it is already there Fraz, and has been effective, why the need for legislation?

There is a sinister undercurrent to this.  My concerns revolve around cost, efficiency and ultimately, performance.  Why will this be better than what we already have?  What is it supposed to achieve?

Is it really something that people want? No, not really.  It is working on the principle that everyone is a potential criminal, the State simply hasn't caught them yet. 

Is every single child really going to have a Named Person allocated to them?  That is my understanding, yes.

How do people with children feel about all of this?  Unnecessary State intrusion in the family life, potential infringement of rights to privacy and possible means for interference either through mis-use, mis-understanding or simple incompetence.

From this end of the world it looks pretty scary and draconian.  Correct.

Basically, the underpinning principle of joined up thinking for the State is not in itself a bad one, but this measure is indeed draconian and therefore unnecessary.  It could be done a lot easier, a lot cheaper and still achieve the intended outcome.

Nice the see BBC Scotland bigging up Inverness in their first ever foray into European competition this week.

Said no one, ever.

I found this article to be totally distasteful for two reasons.

First, as already pointed out by the other posters, is that geographical location has made it more difficult for Inverness to tap into any networks being set up.  Develop the local youngsters and blood them . . . how?  Look at our youth teams and the leagues they play in.  Are they not full of local youngsters?  Why look solely at the first team?

Second, why were we singled out?  It even notes that we had a higher percentage than the previous cup holders.  Surely it should be looking at the current League / League Cup holders as after all, are they not the standard we are all supposed to be striving for?

The anti-Sneck lobby are making sure we know they haven't forgotten us.  GOOD.  In response to the report author - I continue to cheer on my team, the CURRENT Scottish Cup holders, as they compete on the unbalanced playing field of Scottish football by trying to stay within their budget and building the best teams they can with the resources to hand, be they home-grown or bought in.

We should be being praised for the number of local lads we have developed over the years that have gone on to achieve - not be criticised.  If anything, we are an exemplar.

In short, get stuffed Alistair Gray.  Go ask Celtic what they intend to do about it.

Thunderbox.

Or am I taking this too far now??

Nae worries Scotty.

As the old saying goes, onwards and ... er  ... onwards.

Excellent post Naelifts.

And you are right - the journey continues . . . 

I actually found this quite funny.  I know quite a few people who that would be very apt for . . .

Same here.  Not usually emotional but this was an enormous feat in our short history and one I had only ever dreamed of achieving.

Well done ICT and everyone associated with it - we did ourselves proud on Saturday.

Every hour seems to comprise of only 5 minutes, according to the computer clock  

Yup.  Today seems to be going vvvvveeeeerrrrrryyyyyy sssssslllllloooooowwwwwllllllyyyyyyy for some reason.

 

I am driving down from Stonehaven with my daughter, so room for at least two more (three if you want cosy) if anyone is interested.  There and back same day.

Did you know the late Davie Thompson his sons and daughter are ICT fans. Failing that give Russeldinios family members a lift.

 

 Happy to oblige, if they PM me we can arrange times.

Thank you legibroon - looking forward to a fantastic day and hope both teams make it a spectacle to savour.
