  1. I wouldn't say you were opening a can of worms. I'd say you were making yourself out to be more stupid than you probably are. To apportion blame for the crap support on the trust and on Peter Murphy is just plain pathetic. Those people do a lot of hard work on behalf of the fans of this club that most of us dont see. These are not the folk who should be convincing others through the gates. That part is down to you and I. As for number of travelling fans. My reckoning at paisley was more like 400 which is the norm for a travelling support. Now if you really are concerned and you have ideas then why not get involved instead of just mouthing of on here behind a pseudonym.
  2. Was Raven who got bandaged was it not? Couldn't hear the crowd from behind the glass....but really hope we had some chants of "Only 2 Terry Butchers" Chants?????? At TCS?????? Fekk me I heard someone being told to shoosh for breathing loudly
  3. He was a fekkin idiot and I hope Butcher makes him suffer till christmas.
  4. The Army have just moved in to RAF Kinloss and are really making an effort to integrate in to the local community - I hope they get some as well, especially the troops' kids. "We're also mindful that 39 Engineers is the new regiment which has moved in at Kinloss and we've extended an opportunity for many of them to watch the Killie game."
  5. Sorry mate but I really think your in some sort of dream world. Glass half empty is relegation. Glass half full is survival. We are, and always will be, a small team from a small city many miles from the heart of Scottish football. We went against all odds to get to SPL. We dont have the finances to make high league positions a goal but by f*ck we will do our best. Every season anything above eleventh will be a bonus.

  8. I think we'll see the same starting line-up as at Paisley
  9. A suggestion to jugs daughter and to the many others who have given up their ST's because they cant get to as many matches. What about getting together with others in the same boat and share a ticket. Work out a rota system for the matchdays each of you can get to. This could work with interested work colleagues who cover each other and have different days off.
  10. Must say there's a lot of positives coming through just now. Free matchday tickets and season tickets to the Black Watch to welcome them to Inverness has to get some interest from the barracks. Making some hospitality days accessible to those who otherwise couldn't afford it. Magazines. All good for the image of the club and hopefully a boost to the finances will come of it.

  13. Go to Caley social club and get bus to and from stadium.
  14. First off this talk of airmail rates for post is absolute garbage. There will always be a mail service so long as there's demand and there will always be trucks of mail driving across the border each night as there is now. The Royal Mail will be a private company long before any independence agreements. Protecting oilfields from terrorists will continue exactly as it does now. There are no ships patrolling the North sea now and there wont be in the future. Also laurence, in case you didn't know there is oil of the English coast as well as very large gas fields. Military bases will be maintained in all parts of the UK that are deemed to be strategically sited for the defence of those islands. Have you ever wondered who defends the Republic of Ireland? About nine thousand soldiers. One thousand sailors and eight hundred airmen using an array of small arms, light vehicles and fast patrol vessels. No nuclear. No aircraft carriers of frigates and a handful of fighter planes. Guess what? They've never been attacked except from England. On the subject of wages, those you mention may well be earning less than those over here but thats more to do with the fact that people are in these positions are overpaid in this country. Four years ago a barman in Killarney earned 12 euro's an hour. Over twice what the same position earned in UK. You can pick and choose little bit and pieces all you like to try and scaremonger but it would make sense to research your arguements before spouting off. And finally, are you aware that, at the moment, Scotland is officially NOT in recession?

  16. Putting our differences apart , Please tell me how you get to the games on time, and how do you get home after an afternoon game. When I tried to get to the match on Saturday. The timetable meant I was in Inverness well before the game , and caught a train back after 6.30 pm Not very satisfactory so I used the car after that. Maybe I'm missing something? Your missing everything Laurence. Get into Inverness at 12:15. Go for lunch. Meet people in pub for chat and a pint or two. Walk out to stadium. Watch game. Walk back to pub to analize what we've seen then get train at 18:40. Its a leisurely, enjoyable day at the footie.
  17. Or Laurence even
  18. You keep mentioning this £100 a week but you fail to inform us how your going to lose it. If the Royal mail is privatised then its the Westminster government that will be overseeing that. As for mail itself, and especially parcels, there are a number of courier companies in the country doing good business at rates equal to or better than Royal mail. Even Parcelforce, a Royal mail company, undercuts the post office. I must say though Laurence you have a great way of using any current affairs subject to get on your anti separation soapbox. Perhaps you could be an opposition spin doctor. But no that wouldn't do. You wouldn't be allowed to show your selfish side.
  19. We tried that in a couple of town centre shops but it wasn't successful. Whether County find the same problems as we had remains to be seen.
  20. Unlike the fantastic St Mirren stewards who let us stand and enjoy ourselves..........at least until one lad took his shirt off when we discovered the newest SPL rule. Fans are not allowed to bare their torso. Either that or the female steward in question was just jealous that the lad had a better looking chest than she had.
  21. Shooting was once a very successful sport in UK. Even in Scotland there were many gun clubs. Sadly, following the Dunblane massacre, and the very extreme laws that came about about owning and keeping weapons and ammunition many of the shooters and clubs gave up. The cost of security alone became too much. That coupled with the police having the power to check your guns at any time of day or night destroyed what was a very enjoyable sport. I had air rifles and shotguns since I was twelve and I loved the sport but became one of those totally disheartened by the over the top outcry to a madman. It was easier just to give up than argue the case that no amount of legislation will prevent a madman carrying out atrocities. Even now people try and keep the sport low key. The young lad Robert Wilson who got Britians only medal, gold in the double trap event, had barely more than a mention in the press.
