Sorry SMEE but you are totally wrong in those comments. Every Edinburgh derby this season has been televised live. And to further correct you on some of what you are trying to suggest 41 games not involving the OF have been televised live, or full match after game (Alba) so far this season and there are many more scheduled. Thats a lot of tv coverage away from OF

Cheers for the reminder ten4. I travelled up on the train with many of them and would have travelled back down again had I not chosen to have a wee break.................and a holiday in Raigmore.

I disagree with many things being suggested here. ICT and County have their own group of local sponsors. Some of these even sponsor both teams. Crowds will not really be affected. In fact I'd say there's likely to be benefit in that there are people in the area who'd go to an SPL game every week regardless of which team they support. If they're not travelling fans they may be just as likely to pop along to whichever team is at home that week to check out the other teams in the league. I can also see the possibility of a bigger sponsor coming in and splitting the sponsorship, much as is done with the OF, to get their brand on view every week instead of every two. At the moment each team has a few hundred diehard travelling supporters. For trips across the bridge that will swell to a few thousand. That can only increase the average gates of both clubs. I can also see the local derby as being of great interest to television. All in all I believe there will be more to gain than there will to lose by having our neighbours in the SPL

I put Bing image search in for Caledonian v Leicester and the first pic that hit me was this one. CaleyD's twin

Looking like Scotty's choice either gets a very late surge or the job goes to Canada's equivalent of an 'Essex Girl'

I dont think the administrators can be blamed. Is it not the persons applying to go into administration who are responsible for ensuring everyone is notified of whats happening. Think the blame on this one falls to the same person who seen a fortune being made from a £1 outlay.

The guys gonna need to to a fair bit of canvasing. 200 odd votes to make up. Dont know much about footie across the pond but thought I'd vote anyway. Lets, for a laugh if nothing else, see if the power of ICT can swing this one.

Theres no way that a pitch could be replaced half way through a season. The state of the pitch shouldn't be too bad providing the weather is kind. Back when we shared at the Pitt and Gretna with Motherwell the pitches were getting a lot more use. As well as having two senior teams playing there was a reserve league and an under 21 league. There could, at that time be three or four games played on the same surface each week.

Was it not the case that the U-19 league only came about when the SPL decided to save clubs money by scrapping U-21 league? Up till then clubs would look to their youth system and select a few players they were willing to offer apprenticeships to. Those players were then developed over three or four years before being offered contracts to play U-21 and reserve league football. Because clubs had been aiming development towards U-21 and this league was suddenly removed they found, especially the lower budget clubs, that they only had a few players of each age between 16 and 19. The clubs want to promote and develop youths but there is a limit to how many apprentices we can afford to take on each year so there will always be this big age gap unless someone provides the funding to allow clubs to take on more apprentices. Thats my understanding of the situation anyway.

Cant remember what we paid Aberdire for rental but we did stump up £250k as half cost of relaying their pitch. I would expect any arrangement with County to be similar.

The other thing to bear in mind is that a large number of our U-19's are barely past 16.

I dont know if its been mentioned anywhere else on this forum, and I feel too shocked to troll through to see, but sadly I have just found out that Dave Grant, husband of Laura (L_G) lost his battle against cancer today. I think, knowing what all this family put into supporting our club, it is right and fitting that mention is made on our main forum. There are not many guys nicer than Dave nor many families nicer than the Grants and both my wife Aileen and I are deeply shocked and saddened by this news. We give our deepest heartfelt condolences to Laura, Alan and Lynne in these sad times. Rest in peace Dave.

I think there was a Killie player behind McKay who wasn't quick enough at stepping out of the field of play.

What?? Like Tade you mean!!!

Question should not be about one individual but about anyone with a lifetime olympic ban in Britian If Dwains allowed to compete then should these: David Millar (cycling) Carl Myerscough (shot put) Peter Meakin (canoeing) Jade Mellor (boxing) Callum Priestley (hurdling) Dan Staite (cycling) Jamie Stevenson (shot put)

Not the best of debut's Morten Gamst Pedersen hurled a long throw into the area, Wolves' Premier League debutant David Davis could only flick on towards his own goal, and Hoilett was afforded far too much space to acrobatically drive a half-volley into the far corner.

I like to see it as 1 point nearer to safety

Obviously not a first choice across the bridge.............they've sent him on loan to Peterhead

Always prefered Toohey's myself

Seems to me that the rules are being re-written every day http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17310468

The only thing I can see wrong in this article is that it takes someone from a foriegn land to come here and tell everyone about it. Thomas has spoke fact.

My understanding, having trolled all the news footage etc is that Whyte only has the control and title you mention as the majority shareholder of Rangers PLC. I dont think he has seperate title to that that the company has. Indeed looking here I would suggest that Whyte has no seperate control of the assets: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2012/03/08/rangers-in-crisis-ibrox-murray-park-car-park-players-could-all-be-sold-off-if-liquidation-becomes-reality-86908-23779714/
