Just out of interest, do we pay employees above the 'Living wage'? I have read recently about Scottish Nationalists trying to shame companies who don't / can't afford to pay the living wage. Can we reduce outgoings further by having spending cuts? What kind of wages do we pay players? Are we really paying £30 for the Main stand on Saturday to fund wages of £40,000 per year and more?

This obsession with Rangers from Scottish football fans was mildly funny in 2012, but since them it has become very boring. I don't care if they are or are not a 'new club'. I give them the same thought as every other club. I don't hate them and equally I don't like them. The same can be said for Montrose, Berwick Rangers, Queen of the South, Kilmarnock and Celtic. They are just another club, who will however as a bonus help generate more interest and finance in the Scottish game from a neutral point of view. Chill out Scotland.

"... and injury affecting Hearts squad". Since when have the SFA taken into account a teams injury list. I bet you if they were forced to play, they would have found more fit players than we have had in some of our injury ravaged games this season. I hope Caley Thistle find the back bone to request a call off the next time we have an injury crisis. Even as a matter of principle. If the SFA are considering Hearts injury status, and then these players have recovered for our next game then the club should take note. If, as the Chief happy clapper from the club posted on a similar thread that it was due to the goalkeeping issue, then surely all our club has to say next season when the player need a rest is that Esson and Brill / Fon Williams are injured and can't find two goalkeepers. By the rules of the game, then SPFL would have to cancel.

Aye, but will he play him when he returns or stick him on the bench? That is what he was doing when he was fully fit, so i'm not hopeful. *Awaits happy clappy response*

I remember a few years ago, Rangers played their 3rd choice goalkeeper in a Champions league match. Any of their development goalkeepers would do. They have enough goalkeepers. It's all total bollocks. I hope the club release a statement about this stating it's against their wishes. (I really hope it is indeed!) Sick fed up of the club being shafted and taken for granted.

Cry me a river. If they have called off their Development game, then there will be plenty of players from that team that will be available to fill the gaps of players that are out. Incidentally, they already had a very high injury list for this game, so tactically it would be ideal for the game to be called off - especially with another game on Friday. Caley Thistle have played many games this season without a full bench and playing youth players so if the game was called off, then it sets a huge precedent.

What is happening with him? Is he on his way out? Will he be offered a new contract? Why is he not playing? Why is John Hughes not playing one of our most consistent players? He would have made a tremendous difference on Saturday and many other games he was left out of. I along with many fans want a new contract for Raven, and he has publicly stated that he wants one. If we are going to let a solid, consistent, loyal player who is extremely popular with the fans leave then I am seriously considering taking my money elsewhere next season and finding a new hobby on a Saturday. Raven must stay!!!

I thought we played quite well in the second half, but the tactics are woeful. We should have won the game, but Yogi has lost the plot. One win in 8, that is relegation form i'm afraid. On another note, there was no need for some of the abuse directed towards Williams today from a minority. Petty, immature abuse from grown adults. Gimps.

Caley Thistle do not have any problems with the support. We have probably the most well behaved support in the country. Caley Jags 'Together' have lost the plot. That joint statement with Ross County and now this. BAN EVERYONE.

Caley Jags 'Together' are no longer representing the fans. I suggest that the people running the organisation find a new hobby because they aren't real football supporters.

I would imagine that Jim Calder is the favourite player of many fans, not just favourite goalkeeper. His showboating in front of goal, his banter with the fans, and his loyalty to Thistle / Caley Thistle will probably never be replaced. You wont get a fans favourite like Jim Calder for a long time. In his prime, he was without doubt a better shot stopper Tha any goalkeeper we've ever had. Remember when the club went professional and Calder wanted to stay part time. Pele brought in Les Fridge, who then lost his place to part time Calder. If he had gone pro and had an ambitious football career, he could have gone to the very top of the game. Has anyone got a photo of Calder sitting on the cross bar for the Jags? It must be floating about somewhere.

But did any of them sit on the cross bar during a match?

I can only assume that if you didn't vote for Jim Calder you are either; a) Too young to have seen him play b) One of these supporters who jumped on the bandwagon and started supporting ICT when we won promotion to the SPL in 2004.
