Gringo

:clapping:

Re-brand the club and call it The Inverness Caley Thistle Bank and then we could get a bail out from the government

I'm another one interested in the shares option. I'll watch with interest.

This all sounds very promising. I just hope they keep injury free and don't take long to gel as team.

3 x Gringo's...just paid via PP

I've clocked up over 10,000 miles. :maniac:

I sincerely hope that Kilmarnock get drawn away to either us or County in both Cup competitions. If they get a home tie in the FA Cup then I reckon we should play for the draw.

Shame its not at the Ricoh :snigger:

Sat 15 Sept. Dundee Utd and Club 12 both at home...hmmmm.

The shake up of Scottish football is long overdue, that is a fact, but I see this as a desperate attempt to somehow keep their precious Glasgow cheats team in the top flight or, at the very least, make it easier and quicker for them to return (i.e a division / season less for them to return if they started where that should do..at the bottom). I also agree with the fact that it would be unfair on those clubs that eased off the gas towards the end of season not knowing that a higher finishing place would determine their division for next season. That would be unfair (hmmm, sounds familiar that!). I also concur with CaleyD's view that, in the current climate, it would muddy the waters further.

Lets face it, Sky weren't around a few years ago to pump money into football, we lived without them then so, in my view, we can live without them again. Having said that, I don't think they will pull out but the contract would change with no so much money being handed over. They do broadcast Irish football and, I believe, they still cover some Conference games down here in England.

Fixed it for you

Fair point that. But, in their favour, they didn't cheat

£110m??? Fine, that money would be recouped by the lesser collective costs of extra stewards and police etc at any game that would have involved Rangers!

Even if the SPL Club chairman vote against a NewCo you can bet your last penny the SPL will find a way to change the rules to allow them in.

Who are you calling me a dick head?

Hands up all those that think - if he returns to the Highlands - he'll end up going over the bridge because they'll offer more money!

I've always found the A9 to be a particularly good road with regards to its lay out. There are no bad bends and the signposts are clear and unobstructed. Lane markings are also clear. The only things that make it a 'bad road' is the weather conditions and a poor standard of driving. We don't yet know what caused these tragic accidents - it may have had nothing to do with bad driving at all (a mechanical failure or illness etc).

I hear that some of the England squad are visiting Auschwitz to pay their respects etc. I take it the powers that be didn't watch the Panorama programme last week where is showed the Polish fans hatred of the Jews. Talk about putting the cat amongst the pigeons.

As I've mentioned many many times before, we do not have the income to support large contracts and we will never be in a postion to sign the Hayes' or Black's of this world. We will forever be the shadows of teams more flush than we are. We should also not blame any players for wanting to leave and join other clubs, be it to improve their careers or, probably more importantly (re Hayes) for a higher wage. If we can only offer 12 month contracts and, in a few cases, 24 month contracts then will always be shipping out players and bringing in others. At SPL level I firmly believe that we will never have a settled team. Its the nature of the beast I'm affraid. TB will bring in new players but whether they will gel in time for the start of the season remains to be seen. 2012/13 will be another tough season and another relegation battle is most definately on the cards. Hope I'm wrong mind...but I seriuosly don't think I am.

Some cheer at last...

Its going to snow and there'll be a heavy frost....probably.

Good shout...they're not Rangers are they?

We are losing (have lost) our footballing tradition to the power of commercial enterprise. Sad times.

England haven't been as hyped up as in recent tournaments and the 'we're going to win it' attitude doesn't appear to be there. I'll take the Dutch to lift the trophy.
