Wonder how much they paid the one blind mouse to say she failed to correctly review the evidence. If you read this in a book you wouldn't believe it. The backlash has been so great they had to find a scapegoat at any cost to protect their own non credibility. They created this "cab-rank" of reviewers so that they had something to hide behind in the first place. It's what councils and politicians do, create a body like "the national park authority" to keep the heat off themselves from the riff raff and blame someone else when it all goes pear shaped.

The Thistle 2-2 match was a classic with a great atmosphere was gutted when Patterson equalised in virtually the final minute. The 1-0 against the Celtic Europa league finalists was amazing and I doubt will ever be beaten, have never seen the ground so packed plus people standing on the bridge and on top of caravans, I never thought we got the credit which that result deserved in fact it was almost ignored by the football press as they were so in love with the Tic and their exploits that year.

The Scottish league cup is bad enough on it's own The competition down south has been used by the top clubs to give their reserves a run out as it should be used here. When it fails to find a sponsor it will thankfully die a death in both countries but the problem of blooding young players against 1st team players will remain.

Livi don't like grass, we don't score enough goals, could see a replay in this one.

It's not harsh, we as a country are being made into a parody of what our country was and is, we are being portrayed as kilt wearing, bagpipe playing, gaelic speaking, whisky drinking Johnnie Soutars living in Brigadoon. Whilst our football might suggest we are living 200 years ago our country has a fine history in every field of human endeavour as regards modern nations which our so called government wants to convert into a shortbread tin caricature. For more ranting on this subject see the above post.

According to Sportsound Shane Sutherland is coming back to us in the summer, they said the deal is already agreed.

One would think from reading the highland council's website that there are people in this country who cannot understand English and who need a Gaelic translation. A great deal of money is wasted in providing documents in Gaelic, employing Gaelic speakers, painting Poileas on all our country's police cars as though no one would recognise a police can when they saw one and putting all place names in Gaelic even in areas where traditionally it was never spoken. By the way Poileas is a made up Gaelic name for police, there were no police when Gaelic was the original spoken language in the west coast and islands of Scotland, a bit like helicopter. As a MacDonald whose parents learned Gaelic at home before being taught English at school I feel perfectly free to say, stop this nonsense and give the money saved to a Highland football club based in the capital. After all, if the Spanish government could bail out Real Madrid as they did to the tune of I think, Eu300M what's to stop the Scottish government doing likewise? Just a thought.

No one is saying he does but when lots of filthy lucre is dangled in the face of Celtic and Christie, it tends to have the desired effect.

McBurnie went for £17.5M and has half the talent of Christie and way less than half the goals. Even allowing for the fact that SPL players are usually under valued I think Christie will fetch more than £20M. Like Mantis I don't see him leaving until the end of the season at the earliest.

Couldn't agree more Mantis, if he is leaving no way will it be for £14M not when a full back left for over £20M. Can't criticise Celtic for attempting to take advantage of our financial situation to enrich themselves but we should tell them in no uncertain terms where they should go. If an approach has been made on this subject then it suggests that he is indeed leaving Celtic however, the £14M figure sounds like a plant by their friends in the media to influence the negotiations with ICT over the sell on clause. I hope our board have sufficient nous to see through this well worn tactic.

"Without doubt the most talented footballer that has come from Inverness," true but I think our perception has been influenced by what he has done since he left ICT where he was still a prospect with obvious ability and slightly built. For me Shinnie was excellent during his time for us, influential at both ends of the pitch and a great captain and leader ably backed up by Warren, Draper, Tansey, Watkins, Meekings.

With the benefit of hindsight, the day Yogi became our manager/coach.

Without a doubt the cup final victory - something we will never witness again. Fixed it for you.

He needs to cement his place as Celtic and Scotland's No 10 first, I agree with DD he will spend at least another year with Celtic and if he keeps scoring goals his value will be way above £20M in today's inflated prices.
