  1. A lot of negativity about badge change but has it changed. People who have been to games have you been close enough to a player to see whats on his badge? Just wondering because all I've seen on this is a couple of players holding a cardboard cutout featuring the slogan for a photoshoot. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a lot of red tape and protocols to go through to have the crest changed. Registration with SFA etc.

    After whining about this again on Twitter I see my moaning has paid off and BT Sport have announced some more TV games. Our match v Celtic on 17th September has been moved to Sunday 18th September at 14:15.

    AJ Sutherland is making the same claims on twitter

    the new club crest, which should be easily replicated on the new shirts. I'm sending it off to Cabrini just now, so it'll get onto all the pre-orders.

    I could be wrong but I don't think there's ever been an Inverness Caledonian FC

    Just seen this on Twitter and caught my eye, even if it's not true, it's great seeing the club being mentioned with a big name player like this. It's from a Russian football agent so make what you think of it but just thought I'd post for others to take a look!

    I seen that as well and my first question to myself was 'Why would a Russian agent tweet in French'? My answer 'The player is French'. And that's all I take from it. Probably another spoof account

  5. May I just correct a point in DD's summation. The actual question was 'Which party did you vote for in 2015 general election'. Now I personally know Labour supporters who voted SNP to oust Jim whatshisface. I also know many LibDems who were sickened by the Carmichael saga and voted SNP. There was also a lot of hope among some party supporters that tactical voting would weaken the Tory stronghold Just because people voted for one party in one election does not make them that parties voters or supporters. The fact is the party faithful stood by the wishes of the leadership and voted for the good of the whole UK and not for the political progression of the few

    On the upside, just got a massive boost in the exchange rate for my trip in August :smile::smile::smile:

    Just as well cos its going to cost you more. That is if the currency trading suspension has been resolved by then. Who else noticed that, as a result of outcome, petrol rose 4p this morning. Not reported on MSM though.

    All I'm saying on this result is hell mend those who engineered it. We will all suffer. Pension values are already being hit. Pound is unstable to the point that many currency exchanges (RBS, NatWest etc) have suspended dealing. Your British cash card will not give you currency from foreign ATM's. Share prices, and therefore my standby finances, have taken a serious hit.

    Some EU spokespersons have more or less told UK to get on with leaving and that there will be exit repercussions. I fear that this outcome is a disastrous one for all of UK. Already Wales and Cornwall are demanding WM provide all the various subsidies they received from Brussels. The rest of the UK and NI will follow suit. That cash is not available to WM so we're all in the mire. Reduction in credit rating and 1.7 trillion of debt. Welcome to the isolated United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Latest member of the third world.

    As for Mr Bannerman, I don't think ymip or anyone else is trying to suppress opinion. I think what that person, and others, is trying to say is that you don't post opinion. You make it your aim to totally spoil serious and reasoned debate with your stupid infantile comments. Your comments on these forums are what suppress debate

  7. I was always under the impression that a computer programme made the draw and that adjustments were made where there were clashes. i.e Glasgow teams, Highland teams, Edinburgh and Dundee teams drawn at home on same day, and that, provided a team stays in the league, they will get two home fixtures against another team one year and one the following. This league has twelve teams in it and for the good of Scottish football its time we all stopped clinging on to the apron strings of Glasgow and just got on with playing football.

  8. Thanks for clearing that up KM

    Now to the point on immigration. In Scotland 3.4% (I think) of the population are EU citizens while 2.1% are from outside EU. Its not a lot really in the big scheme of things. My understanding is that many of the EU settlers are from Italy, France, Spain and Germany who have settled here since we joined EEC. How come there was never an outcry before EU opened up to former 'behind Iron Curtain' countries? The whole immigration outcry we are hearing now is not about EU citizens. They are used as a front but the real fear is the hundreds of thousands of refugees that managed to get into Europe and subsequently across Europe via Turkey.

    Presumably Mair is entitled to vote given that he has not yet been convicted.  He may already have voted by post if his actions were pre-meditated.  This is in stark contrast to Jo Cox whose right to vote he took away when he so brutally murdered her   On the other hand, his actions may well push floating voters toward the remain camp.

     

    Hasn't he been charged with an act of terrorism? I presume that's why he appeared in court in London and not Yorkshire? If so I think he's lost his right to vote. Also, could what he did maybe even be seen as an act of treason? Murder of a member of the queens parliament.

    Back on topic I'm for stay

    Leaving the immigrant argument aside I'm amazed at the 'unelected bureaucrats making our laws' waffle. Many workplace and quality assurance laws are ratified in Brussels but thousands of those are British laws adopted and adjusted to suit whole of Europe. Britians Safety at Work act is the basis for much euro workplace H&S legislation. Our Electricity in the Home laws have been used to develop EU law. Indeed we were also the forerunners on a lot of the human rights and environmental legislation. I'd also point out that unelected bureaucrats are responsible for drafting much of the UK's own legislation. All EU law comes through the Council of Ministers (chosen by the elected governments of all member states) and the MEP's (chosen by the public). Pretty democratic in my opinion unlike the UK where law comes through Parliament (chosen by the public) and then through the 607 unelected members of the Lords

    When are we going to get some confirmation about who's being retained? 

    I'd have liked to have seen Roberts give another season. He definitely had ability and was one of the few players we've had over the last few years who looked so dangerous from range. Has it been confirmed yet by the way that Ferguson has gone?

    Probably when folks get back from their hols

    Equally, why on earth should you equate a disability with any impairment of intellect. Hugely condescending in my view. 

    Simple. Many disabilities are not fully physical and may be accompanied by learning difficulties.
