I'm glad we appealed. We should win, but i'm not hopeful! if we succeed, then not losing Tansey for 3 games will be worth the grand. Losing him for 3 games, could cost us more. If we win, I take it we have to still pay the grand? Surely, if we win, this is an admission that the ref got it wrong, therefore we should be re-imbursed for the grand! The whole system is ridiculous.

The way I interpreted it was he was saying he aint jealous of ICT as County have opted to focus on youth development (as opposed to ICT) and that is the reason the academy is in Dingwal. i.e. he was having a pop at ICT.

The only english born person in the Hall of Fame that I can see in the list is... Andy Goram Are there any other Singaporians on the list?

If it aint the penultimate game, then we'll do it anyway... as a 'training' march. I reckon it's nearly the same distance as our Aldershot pub crawl!

Butcher was inducted into the Scottish Football Museum Hall of Fame tonight. Not sure if the 'museum' bit makes it different to the actual hall of fame? Good on him anyway. http://www.soccer365.com/news/european_news/general/6361/hall_of_fame_honour_for_butcher

Seven wins in a row and now 6 points clear. I'm certainly in the camp of it would be good for the Highlands to have 2 SPL teams. Of course we get the Highland derbies back, and extra income from the attendances, as well as the excitement of the derby, but It occured to me the other day though, that there is one other massive benefit. We will have another ally in the fight against a 10 team SPL. If two teams are needed to block it, then with other Chairmen started to stutter, then ourselves and County could be key IF everything goes to plan for us and them until the end of the season. Years ago, Highland teams were blocked from joining the SFL, and even when we joined, there were many lowlanders not happy to travel 'such long distances'. How fitting would it be, that in a years time, it could be 2 Highland teams that dictate the whole structure of the league. That really would be 2 fingers to all the prejudiced ones who don't want us there!

I agree it looks unsightly but in a business sense, it is in the best location. If it were behind the North Stand and someone was wanting to shop there, then of course they would go. But, how many people see the shop at the front and pop into have a look, and then spend some money. A visitor to the club is much more likely to notice it there. If say a father and son were going to the game, with no intention of going into the shop, then they are more likely to notice it at the front of the stadium than behind the North Stand, and again go in and spend some dosh. It's in the best location for maximising turnover.

Personally, I think our squad is good enough - as long as there are no more injuries. If, come January we are full strength then I think we will be starting to climb the table. No need to pay extra expenses if we have the squad available. If we have lots of injuries again and still at the bottom / close to the bottom, then maybe look at short term deals. However, I think the priority would be trying to extend Davis loan deal for the whole season.

<br /><br /><br /> That's my thoughts as well. he's still re-building and shaping these new young players for the future. He's in it for the long term here IMHO.

You can shove yer feckin old firm up yer arse!

ONE TEAM IN GLASGOW!

Or maybe the OP was simply trying to create conversation. It isn't such a ridiculous question, wind up or not! Personally, I don't think hibs would consider him. I think they will go for either Michael O'Neill or a manager without a club. If however, they approached Butcher, I don't think he would go. He's taken people like Josh Meekings up here and has pledged to devleop these players within the club. He also loves Highland life and it's not like Hibs offer big bucks anyway.

If anyone is in the Glasgow area tomorrow and fancy watching a Champions League Quarter Final, then head along to Petershill Park (Springburn). Glasgow Cty (ladies football team) are at home to German opposition, and two in a row European Champions. It was 10-0 to the Germans in the first leg, so expect some goals! p.s. the bar is open throughout the game and it's quite cheap, I discovered when they played the Icelandics in the last round! My work colleague plays for City so I like to show my support. Should be arond 600 at the game. 6pm kick off.

Yeah, but the Park Bar is for teuchters only, so the lowland press wouldn't know about that one!

Sunday Mail and Daily Record are two horrible news papers. I don't think there is a bias, more of a non-caring. They won't go to the effort of getting facts about us or County. We are an irrelevance to them. Therefore, the best solution is to stop reading them.

I discovered who stole the white ball, shortly after getting off the train in Glasgow. I won't name names, but all I shall say is Jedward. ;)

I was going to re-live the game on IPlayer today but they have not uploaded it.

You said he was possibly your MOTM at full time! lol Great to have team and support bonding at the end there!

Best away day in a long time! Still trying to shake off the hangover though! It was worth it. Celebrated like we had won the league last night! Going to watch it on Alba now. I have been told that the camera zooms in on the conga. lol I look forward to re-watching this! This is such an important result for us. The confidence boost that this will give the players is huge. We've had great results like 7-0 at Ayr, 7-3 v Ayr and 4-3 after being down 3-0 at half time against, erm... Ayr. But this performance and result against the 2nd team in Ayrshire will always be up there. Considering our curent league position, this may be one of the most important results in our history. Onwards and upwards!

Bit of a trek. I usualy go in taxi to pub en route to save time

Don't worry IHE. We'll get a bit of fannies action after the game

The one going to Kilmarnock. Or the random one that goes to Newcastle via Killie... never quite worked that one out. As GJ said prob 11.30 - 12.30. We'll decide nearer the time but i'd like to go closer to 11.30. I do like the Hunting Lodge.

Quite a few of the central belt based supporters will be in the Hunting Lodge pre-match. Meeting at Sir John Moore wetherspoons near Central station, Glasgow early doors before getting the train to Killie for anyone else that wants to join us.

So he hasn't got a club at the moment? Am I right in saying that we can sign him right now as he is currently unemployed? It could be the answer to our scoring problems, however probably not worth the risk considering his injury history and our tight wage structure. The SFL is probably where he will see out his career. All the best to him!

"Mother Teresa never joined in anti-war demonstrations. She only joined in peace demonstrations" Terry Butcher, August 2011 So let's have a thread on what's great about Terry Butcher and what he's brought to this club, instead of what's bad about Butcher. We have the lowest budget in the league, sit 1 point off safety, but we have the ex-England Captain, Terry Butcher as manager. How far has this club come that we have someone who's image is so iconic in British if not world football. He ain't perfect, he's made mistake, quite a few since the summer in fact, but I for one am glad he's our manager. Sam Allardyce was relegated twice with Bolton, and won promotion twice with the same club. Terry Butcher has increased our image in British football. He has brought us '2010 with Terry and Mo'. The amazing away run that will never IMO be beaten by an ICT manager in our history. Let's give him a chance for the rest of the season. Let's get 100% behind the team. We the support, along with the players, and back room staff are the club. We all have our disagreements but we all have the best interests in our heart. The team, the club, ourselves, need us now!
