Whether it be next week or two weeks or whatever there will be new signings. Of that I have no doubt. Will they be as good as or better than those being released? That remains to be seen. I do, however, concede that Butcher has done a decent job so far and I expect he will continue to prove some fans wrong with his signings. Russell and Grant are gone now and there's no point in continually carping on about that. Lets look to the future and a challenge, next season, for a Europa place.

And a bloody good weekend it was too. especially in the truckers stop in newtonmore when the lady asked you to cross your legs.

I cant see us finding anything out while everyone is still enjoying their hols so I'm sure all will be revealed shortly after 20th June

By the laws af averages it is very likely that there are people who frequent this site that are user of, or have experimented with illegal substances. That is their business and theirs alone. The point of the thread is not to decide which posters do or dont, have or have not, been involved, at any level, in the drug scene. The point is to discuss whether a professional sports person and role model should be allowing him or herself to get caught. Doing it in private where nobody finds out is one thing. In public where the risks of being found out are greater is something else.

How would you make it work Alex? As you wouldnt want to have a seat reserved for someone who is only there half the time. Could a seat ticket be issued in exchange for your match day slip from the book and prebook a seat for the OF matches. What would be a reasonable price ratio. Main stand ?350 19 games, 10 games pro rata ?184.21 10 games inc 3 x OF pay at gate = ?272 roughly split the difference ?230 North stand ?300 19 games, 10 games pro rata ?157.89 10 games inc 3 x OF pay at gate = ?222 roughly split the difference ?190 Would these be deemed reasonable figures? its cash up front for 10 games and cheaper than pay at the gate for the fans.If you want to see a couple extra its pay at the gate and if you are available to see a few more then get yoursel sorted out and just buy a full season ticket. As for a season ticket book, you would have to print off a different one as game numbers wouldnt coincide. How does Aberdeen work and what is their pricing structure. Details Here

Maybe he needs a bit educating

Duncans been coaching the youths for a couple of years now. I think its testiment to how well he does the job that, not only does he get a full time position but, eight of his youths were signed on first team contracts this year.

ICT doesn't usually play pre-season games at home. Last year was an exception with the foriegn teams. Generally we'll play at the grounds of the teams close by to give them a wee financial boost.

The whole early start thing is a nonsense. There's no need for it and no benefit to anyone. Celtic had agreed to play in Ireland before it was announced. Personally I think all the teams should have declared they were playing friendlies on 23rd July.

Why must there be anything sinister about Grant being moved on? Yes its sad but its also a fact of football. Every club lets players go. Every manager builds his own team. Butcher has been doing that since he came here and doing it very well so far. Butcher will build a team that plays his type of football. He prefers the passing game. Grant hoofs under pressure. If we are to be successful, as measured by a top six finish, then we have to start playing football and getting consistant results. I believe players will be brought in that can do that. As for the captainsy I dont think there are too many fans who think that aspect was working out for Grant. His performance was clearly affected by the added pressure and as soon as he relinquished that he upped his game.

Grant confirmed HERE All the best for the future Grant.

Roy McBain on his way to Formartine apparently, I work for the official Highland League website and my boss, a usually reliable source, has told me he's been strongly linked with Formartine. You mean people actually work for that website. I always thought it was unmanned being as it takes three days to get the weekend results up. Mind you, if your boss is so far behind the times then I can see why the results would be.

Red and black verticals?

Mr and Mrs WeAreSPL know what it looks like.

I'd say yes. He scored a couple since then and assisted in a good few others. Besides, I dont believe he wanted to go to Russia.

That famous comedy actress Diane Riggs perhaps?

Done it for you izzy but cant see the resemblance.

Aberdeen do a half season book for offshore workers. It works pretty much on the principal described above. I know of quite a few ICT fans who are offshore and who would entertain similar.

I thought it was hilarious. Obviously others didn't going by the red dots

My step-daughters man is from Kilwinning. Knowing his family and friends I could make a judgement. But I wont. As to the statement that the 'bombers' came from Kilwinning. Where did you get that from? One guy from Kilwinning along with one from Saltcoats were charged with posting something in Kilwinning. Three other packages intercepted were posted in Belfast. Kilwinning may well be an orange heartland but that doesn't mean its people are all violent bigots.

Concentrate of the game. Ignore the officials. They're sh!te for every team. Realise that Inverness are a better team than you imagined and they will beat you again. And finally, as my granddaddy would say 'dont let the barstewards grind you down. And the exact same advice goes to McCoist

Rangers wont be playing behind closed doors that's utter nonsense , they are banned from 1 away game . My mistake. They do however have one home UEFA game ban suspended for three years. If the fans dont change that ban will stand. Also the 80,000 euro's fine.

Cant speak of the first two but Danny has played at international level but that aside he has duel nationality and his Italian side qualifies him as an EU citizen.

Has the draw been made yet and if so who's the winners?

I already have both. Generally auctions happen at functions like end of season ball etc. These make a lot of money because people, under the influence, always try and outbid each other. Dont think ebay would raise as much funds. Some items at Barry Wilsons testimonial went for four figure sums.
