Ownership of ICT stands
If memory serves correct Tulloch are the trustee's of the trust that took over the stadium debt. I believe the club pay rental to the trust. I wonder if the security on the debt was limited to the three stands only and not the ground or west terrace.

Great Britain Team
I will ignore the abusive remark from Laurence and say this. I would not have a problem with a football team GB provided it followed certain criterea. 1. The professional associations (FA's of England, Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales) have absolutely nothing to do with the organisation or team selection. They can, however, provide training and financial support. 2. Teams are made up from amatuer and junior leagues. 3. Numbers of players from each nation must, at a minimum, reflect similar percentages as population of each nation. 4. There must be no risk that the independence of each association is jeopordised. SAtisfy all the above and I see no reason why we can't have a team GB

Motherwell -V- Inverness CT
From STV Sport Players receive a one-match suspension when they accumulate six yellow cards in league matches. A further game ban is applied for every six bookings thereafter, eg. two-game ban for 12, three-match suspension for 18. Bans kick in 14 days after the sixth yellow is shown. Cautions are not added to the record if a player is shown two yellow cards in one game.

Motherwell -V- Inverness CT
Warren will not be available. His punishment is two first team matches and not two SPFL first team matches. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/Disciplinary/CurrentSuspensions/Season2014/15/PlayerSuspensions/LOS32%20%2826%20FEB%29%20CW.pdf After yesterdays game where are Devine, Draper and Tansey in totting up process

2014/15 milestones achieved
Realistically only the Dundee teams can overtake us so top six is assured. On current form I believe we will reach thesplit in same position and with same points difference below us as now. How things pan out after the split is anyones guess but I expect us to finish third. I also expect us to capitalise on our cup chance and win it. I predict all sorts of records being broken this season.

Dundee's Debt
But are they IN debt? They have £3 million of debts but so long as they are able to make the payments then they are not in debt. We are also a team who have loans etc so are we in debt?

Replacement Striker?
One man doesn't make a team and that team has lost it big time.

Split in 6
DU home to Partick, away to us and Celtic, home to County then a derby and home to Hamilton. Going on their current form I can see them only picking up 8 pts from those games. ICT away Motherwell, home DU, away Partick, home Dundee, away Aberdeen, home Celtic. Realistically I see 8 pts from these which would put us into the split still 7 above DU. For me third is what we hold onto and anything else is a bonus.

Future ICT big money maker
The lad wants to be a footballer and model. Yogi can do the football coaching but who at the club would you all suggest for the modelling aspect? Who's got the Charisma of Christie, the Chic of Shinnie, the Verve of Vincent, the Panache of Polworth or the Wow of Watkins?

Dundee Utd -V- Inverness CT
Its all very well finding players but finding players that;ll fit into our system and budget is probably a different proposition. If the right person isavailable then get him on the books. If he's not then do the best with what we have. Under other managers we had a habit of paying wages forpeople who didn't have what we needed. Lets steer clear of doing that again. As to the game, I've only the press reports and twitter comments to go on but it seems like the ref has a lot to answer for as to how the game panned out. First yellow in forty seconds. Red within five minutes. The ref lost the plot and this seems to have affected the players composure. Still we can hold our heads high though. We are still in the mix with Aberdeen and Celtic, though I think the latter will start to expand their lead, and with eleven games to go we can stay where we are at least and move up to second at best. At times its frustrating but this has to go down as our best ever season and we still have a very real chance of THE cup.

Cricket
I believe Ireland is aiming to achieve Test status by 2020 but I dont think Scotland have any plans for such. There's just not enough interest north of the border to make such viable.

Europa Places
We'd probably have to go far in the tournament before that happened! The English Premier League is ranked at no.2 by UEFA so clubs from there enter much later than SPFL teams! I did read that if Celtic beat Inter Milan, then in 2016/17 we (Scottish clubs) will get 5 teams in Europe for the following season. Maybe wrong, the whole system appears shrouded in secrecy! But, as much as it sometimes pains me, I support every Scottish team in Europe. To do otherwise is simply betraying your own club's future opportunities! The co-efficient at end of 14/15 season will determine places for 16/17 and 17/18. As it stands at this moment we are gauranteed 1 CL and 3 EL places but, as you say. Our co-efficient is 17.9 at the moment. 26.0 would give us an extra CL place. Its difficult to decypher the points criterea but I think Celtic would need to make last 8 to gain extra place

Transfer Window approaching.
The only time we've ever had a deal of january window activity was to try and stave off relegation and that failed abysmally. It would have been great to have signed another striker but, in all honesty, how long would it have taken him to gel with the team and start to make a difference. Its still possible we could find a free agent but I'd much prefer we utilise what we have and play our strengths to whoever we can put up front. I know Fergie is young but he's been around the first team for a while now and has done a decent job in development league so I think he could well step up and be counted.
