Don't like seeing teams go bust, but I somewhat agree. When you're not bringing anything to the table, even though you were the 3rd off the blocks from the Highland League, and are still struggling at the back of the pack. They'll never offer any excitement in a 10 team league, as they're pinging off the promotion and relegation playoffs like a bouncy ball every season, the expansion, be it just the additional two teams, or adding a third league is needed desperately. Or, at the very least, rework the league so two go down, and one come up from each league, fully incorporating the Highland and Lowland Leagues into the pyramid, with probably the North Caley FA hooking onto the bottom of the Highland League as a feeder league.

Just seeing the tech stuff and retro souvenirs, makes me wonder why we don't consider branching off into that market. Only place I know where you can get Football Kit phone cases is Nostalgia Case (https://nostalgiacases.co.uk/pages/search-results-page?q=Inverness+Caledonian+Thistle), but I'd presume you'd get a few questions along the lines of "Why does that guy have Scotrail on his phone case". It's quite a profitable market, as many people like retro kits, club branded tech stuff would appeal to the teen fans (like myself), branded toys and games will appeal to families and young kids, and having retro kit design phone cases/coasters/mugs will appeal to anyone who wants their favourite kit on whatever they have. Having personalisation options makes it more attractive to people who want them, like for looking for a Mothers/Fathers Day present or a birthday/Christmas present. Also seeing on the site that there's homewear and garden stuff too, which we also don't have. We really need to up the game on merchandising and see what the general demand is and meet it.

Didn't make all that many appearances for us, but Baird is off down under

I don't really like the way I found it, considering the poor circumstances about the club in question, but according to the article, he's a really promising player. Hassan Ayari. American/Lithuanian/Tunisian Attacking Midfielder, played for TW Braga (some wee club in Northern Ireland) where apparently he stood out by a country mile, and moved directly from there, into Sheffield United's Youth Ranks (U18s specifically). If he's as good as they say he is, I'd say a potential loan offer is a good plan to make, as we need points, and he needs game time. Only issue in it I can see is his age, as Sheffield to Inverness at about 17 or so, is a long way... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52921067?at_medium=custom7&at_custom3=Match+of+the+Day&at_custom1=[post+type]&at_campaign=64&at_custom2=facebook_page&at_custom4=DDFD4E04-A707-11EA-B94E-A7ACFCA12A29 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hassan-ayari/profil/spieler/746754

No. Not a big fan of it. Rethink the League Three idea, just with expanded leagues, 14/12/10/10/10. Makes for a more exciting system as opposed to throwing the Old Firm Colts into the mix to try and get more money.

Wonder if this will be the usual exclusively sold at the stadium, or if it'll be sold at JD Sports and/or Sports Direct. Think it'd be a good move to try and get it sold elsewhere rather than just the complete other side of town that nobody visits aside from Match day.

Can't remember if it was said on the Shuffle or if I was imagining things, but was there a mention of pink and black?

It reminds me of the 2000/01 and 2001/02 kits...still, an utter banger.

Is there any more word on next season's kit?

Were they social distancing? Don't need that pair in trouble with the police...again...

They better stop before I get my hopes up too high... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52905133

Premiership have introduced the Virtual Season Ticket for the start of next season, no word on the Championship and that though...

I'm actually confused here, and I hope someone can clarify. The youngsters who've been out at the Fort are all apparently being released according to the Courier, but the statement says they're due out by the end of the month. Is this meaning their contracts expire at the end of the month and they're not getting a renewal, or that they're still due to sign a new deal. Cos if it's the former, I have to say, it's a pretty stupid (and dickish) move to make considering the space that's opened up for the youngsters to step up and improve their game...

Doran staying. Love. To. See. It.

Could've given the Hammers a hammering had we kept that midfield...

Got the game on DVD ready to go when 3pm rolls round.

Jonny Hayes ooc at Celtic, am I stupid thinking we'd be able to get him back?

Silencing one can't silence us all... https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5648689/hearts-sfa-membership-revoked-court/

Great statement by Falkirk https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2020/05/28/plea-to-spfl-identify-clubs-willing-to-play/

For anyone interested, the BPL is back on the 17th, which could also mean, it's one foot closer to Scottish Football returning...

Talks start on Monday, let's hope everything goes right, or this whole thing could fall flat on its face. No word when the Championship and League 1/2 are, but as far as I'm aware, L1/2 are all voting in favour of it as long it's a 14,14,14 system.

Well, there goes all the weight I've lost over lockdown...

Twenty team championship? Sorry, are they fecking deluded? No chance that we'd ever have a second division the same size as the English Premier League. That proposal alone would be thrown straight in the bin, which would promptly lit on fire, the ashes hoovered up and chucked into the Clyde. This way I can only see it being a 24/20/20/20 tier system, which, in turn will possibly bankrupt most low tier teams trying to get their stadium up to SPFL Standards with all the mass movements of Highland and Lowland to the new League Two, and the juniors moving up to fill in the massive gaps left. It's never going to work, and the Ayr Chairman is a complete and utter moron.

Still hate Neil Doncaster with a passion, but things could be looking up! https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5630269/scotland-new-season-one-league-16-teams/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=scottishsunfootballfacebook&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1590355880

Sean Kelly has apparently been a bombscare this season, McManus might be a preferable signing
