If Rangers have a backlog of games then why are they not playing one of those next week. Why should we be suffering by this and having our scheduled game brought forward.

Elgin is in the Highlands. It is not situated in the council area known as Highland, but it is in the Scottish Highlands which is classed as being anywhere north of the Highland Boundary Fault. Have you never wondered why the Highland League is called so despite having only 4 clubs from the Highland Council area? Geography in Inverness schools not too great then? 6 actually........Clachnacuddin, Fort William, Wick Academy, Nairn County, Brora Rangers and Strathspey Thistle.

Geographically the boundary of the highlands of Scotland is the highland fault line that runs from the Isle of Arran through Helensburgh to Stonehaven. North of this line is the Highlands. Highland Region is a different area though. All this debate however is

It's Stenhousemuir or Threave Rovers v Stranraer then Stenhousemuir/Threave Rovers/Stranraer v Motherwell. Is it? I just cut and pasted from BBC site.

The full draw: Aberdeen v Montrose or Dunfermline Inverness CT v Morton or Airdrie Hamilton v Dundee United or Ross County Stenhousemuir or Threave Rovers v Stranraer or Motherwell East Stirlingshire or Buckie v Queen of the South or Brechin Rangers v Celtic Hibernian or Ayr v St Mirren or Peterhead Hearts or St Johnstone v Falkirk or Partick Thistle

Seems to be more mystery around this move than Kenny Millers.

Burough Briggs average gate about 400. 1400 come to Inverness for a day out. 1000 of those came in the hope of witnessing a giant killing. I spoke with a couple of guys on the train south on saturday night. Both Elgin supporters who live and work in Edinburgh. Niether gets to more than one or two games in a season but they seen this as being a good one to make the effort for because Elgin are doing so well this season. Personally I think there were more in the stadium than the official figures show but thats the norm for cup games. My guestimate would have been closer to 3500 total.

To create good football you need leaders on the park. To create good atmosphere you need leaders in the stands If there were songs unique to ICT then perhaps the so-called old codgers would be tolerant. Many of them cant be bothered with chants that are abusive and full of expletives. Thats not a complaint but a statement of fact. Being an old codger I do know what some say about our chants. Not to say I agree or otherwise.

Esson Tokely, Duff, Munro, Shinnie Ross, Cox, Duncan, Foran Sanchez Rooney

Seems like years since he was with us, but I'm pretty sure he didn't sign until the summer just before our first SPL season - seem to remember him coming in at the same time as Ian Black. I thought he was decent too, if a little lightweight. I remember him coming off the bench to score an equaliser in a 2-2 draw against Killie at Rugby Park, and I've got a feeling he might have done the same thing against the same team in Inverness. Parratt's a player that intrigues me: I don't recall ever seeing him play for us, yet he went to Hamilton and was a regular in the team that got promoted, then I believe got injured right at the start of their first SPL season and never made it back into their team. Don't know what happened to him, but he can't have been too bad a player. Fetai came to us on loan from Rangers in January 05. Made 9 starts and never scored.

Think your being a bit harse on Prunty Fox and Jibby Jabby there. None of them should be on the same list as Fetia

18/01/2010 v Motherwell Scottish Cup Rd 4........crowd 1450

A side who sit fourth in their league and only 4 points of the top and with a real chance of promotion,

McKenzie was there too

Note the absence on the eve of such a big game...................................curfew is on and computers are off.

If you want to be a Jaggie when you die You must wear a Jaggy shirt and Jaggie tie You must wear a Jaggy bunnet With I hate Caley Hellgin on it If you want to be a Jaggy when you die Good bit of nostalgia there Johndo.

Although Sport-TV hold the rights to televise league matches in Portugal which they air on Premium TV + one match a week is shown on free to air TV, the individual clubs negotiate their own contracts with Sport-TV. And yes the big clubs can negotiate better deals.

The story is here

Nigel, Many of our fans who live in Inverness are ordinary working class people with families, rent / mortgage and all the other bills to pay. Many of them take loans or payment terms to purchase a season tickets They dont normally have travel costs to get to the game so, if they have the day free, will make it along at little further cost. Others have the cost of taking family etc. This all adds up to a lot of outlay in a season. Should they really be expected to, or seen as less loyal if they dont, travel to away games the shortest of which is a 240 mile round trip. Many of our away support live south of Perth. They are the same working class people as those described above. They may not have season tickets, though I know a few that do, but they will likely have shelled out in other ways to help fund the team. Are they disloyal if they cant make the 240 mile plus round trip to see a home game? I attend whatever I can whenever I can simply because its a hobby for me and I can afford the outlay. Twelve years ago I could only see ICT if they played at Brockville. Anyone with a bit of intelligence would not be questioning the loyalty of supporters whatever games they choose to attend. If you fancy taking some time out to read the many previous threads on this very subject you'll find that nobody, not even a few past managers, are able to explain this one. Personally I dont think it has anything to do with home or away support but more to do with us not being able to use the advantage of our own pitch. Ours is too wide.

How's it not worked out for McGeady?

No need to worry mate. Terry's waiting on news from Anfield

Cant get onto P&J site for some reason but am I right in assuming its the same story as HERE Would appear that any money that was available a month ago is no longer there. Wonder how much of that is due to the postponed DU game. Or is it anything to do with the new offer to Rooney?

I think it would especially if we continue with the CIS Insurance Cup and Scottish Cup. The Portuguese League has a top division with 16 teams who compete in two cup competitions and that seems to work. Could be possible but it is quite a simplistic comparison there. Could be other issues that I'm not aware of. Not sure we can make the comparrison with Portugal or any other country Andrew. None of those countries have a system whereby two teams get the lions share of all revenue to keep them on top. No other country has a league totally dominated by two teams.

Yes you can get in with your boy. Get bus ticket from doorman. Last season it was ?2 for return journey.

I cant believe anyone could ask such a ridiculous question
