12th Man

I think you mean plane up! Celtic don't do bus journeys. What flight are they getting up on Friday? http://ripassetseu.s3.amazonaws.com/www.hial.co.uk/_files/documents/jan_13/hia__1357814853_Inverness_Airport_Winter_Sched.pdf

Plan A a couple of players are out so go and hide on the park for 90 mins and expect defeat Plan B Give them hell for 90 mins and make them wish they never got the bus up.

A well deserved call up, I hope your in the starting eleven as all the hard work is paying dividends, you getting a call up is also a compliment to the management and your team mates too.

Big balls

What 2 paralytic players did I buy voddie and cokes for, after they won the 3rd div cup.

Might work, the bar has all the facilities. breakfast rolls a mug of tea and tv or take away, then soup tea and a sandwich for lunch with tv or a couple of papers to read, I think it may fail under normal circumstances but having so many customers pass your door I think its worth a shot, it will lure people into the club shop too. Once people are reprogrammed to go there for food then it may become a regular income, everything that is required is there anyway so the overheads are minimal. As long as customers know its a cafe and know its open of course.

League run of 8 games then defeat, run of 8 games then defeat, shall I put money on beating Celtic? At least there are no distractions now.

I have seen plenty of goals go passed Esson with both his feet firmly rooted to the ground. If you watch Reguero, if a goal goes past him he is usually pretty close to getting a touch. I would play Reguero against Celtic with our regular back four which hes used to.

Celtic would have to be in cloud cook coo land to put out their strongest team anyway. What type of manager would field their strongest team, when you are 15 points ahead in the league and dont have any opposing clubs of the same size and stature. Theres a huge Champions league match for them on Tuesday night and if Lennon wants to jeopardize that in any way by going all out for a win in Inverness with his best players, then I would certainly start to question his managerial skills. I wish them all the best on Tuesday night and it must be a big relief not having Rangers to worry about this season but if Lennon even comes close to fielding his best players and they get a knock or pull up, then they are up against it with regards to the big money match a few days later. A couple of our key players unexpectedly left the field in our last match, it can happen to anyone at any time and can just as easily happen to any amount of Celtic players this Saturday.

Over the next few months our club is going to be inundated with traffic passing right past its door step due to the bridge works till June. Any suggestions on how the club could maximize its potential to passing trade. What should the club hone in on the most? For example could our bar be used for anything, conferences, road side advertising, luring trade into the club shop etc. What are your thoughts?

The cup games will prob be on tv too

It looks like our County match could be replayed on 2nd March I hope the match will be shown on tv

I enjoyed my trip to Edinburgh last Saturday it was a good fan bonding day out. As for the match, level at full time, level at extra time and they sneak through on penalties, even though Macdonald never even saved any. Unfortunately we didnt make the final, it doesnt carry the same interest as the Scottish cup which is a shame because its more of a pedigree cup, you have to be good to reach the semis and we only narrowly missed out on the final, we didnt get humped and beat an ex champions league club along the way. Gretna got to the Scottish cup final without playing against a single SPL club I would say we achieved more than that very nearly getting to the final of the pedigree cup. Back to the Scottish cup run, think about how it felt to earn a replay against Ross County, think about the fans, the noise, the result. Think about the replay, think about the night, the noise, the success, think about the training, the hard work, the diet, the self belief, on the pitch think in the present, think in the here and now, think off how good you can be, believe in yourself and believe in you team mates and finally good luck in the cup.

The Buddies are thinking the same thing Decisions decisions. MFR2 or Alba later as live Or CH 2s stream?

We dont have the inside knowledge of how it all works but Im assuming that the FA and SFA just love paperwork. If our club have to submit signed paperwork to state that a player is serving a ban then ICT know there will be a paper trail relating to this. If ICT receive paperwork, informing them of a player being banned then the paper trail also exists. What happens with regards to suspensions throughout the season is the club supposed to work it out or are they informed, I spoke to a player and he didnt have a clue how far he was away from missing a match, so someone must send out the info. I think its highly likely that there is no paperwork as there was no suspension, by failing to provide paperwork proving that he was suspended then we know that the ban wasnt served but probably got lost in the system, just saying he was suspended isnt good enough,

Can you help the police http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-21221960 Easter road wasnt the only place where fraudulent activity was going on.

Ahhh the smoke bomb, that was the pretty insignificant thing that happened at the start of the game I remember it now. Wow 7 years ban, no live football for 7 whole years just for getting caught on a camera throwing a flare at a match.

Or we could wait for the response that ICT deserve, from the appropriate governing body. Let them dig a deeper hole first.

(In Perth at a cheap price) You have strict rules but fail to follow your own rules, if you cant arrange a replay do the honorable thing and resign.

Castle tavern

What went through my head was it doesnt matter as you fielded a player who is banned from the competition Actually I was speechless

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/scottish-premier/7046535/Dunfermline-handed-Scottish-Cup-reprieve-by-SFA-appeals-panel.html# I believe they were getting stricter after the amount of errors the Pars had made, if you made a balls up you were out, If Danny Wilson hasn't served his suspension for the said cup, then it must apply to the first game that he is eligible to play for. Even if he left Scottish football for 20 years came back and joined a part time lower league club the ban will still apply, the time span is irrelevant, he cant serve the ban in a competition of his choice, in what ever country of his choice, the ban must be served.

You guys have made my night, a big well done, Its impossible for him to serve his suspension in England it can only apply to the cup in question, as far as Im concerned he shouldnt have played, its now a case of getting the legal eagles involved. W
