This is an illustration of what I was talking about with people putting different interpretations on what may or may not be facts. Confusion results, not least amongst those who bandy these statements about. In the example above, the only feasible option is A - a spade. B is clearly wrong because a spade and a shovel are two distinctly different tools. A spade is used primarily to cut into and loosen earth etc whereas a shovel is used to scoop up and move stuff- hence the upturned edges to hold the soil in place. If Charles has been using a shovel for the purpose for which a spade is more appropriate, it is little wonder he feels calling it a f*****g shovel is a valid option. C is also not an appropriate option because whilst a spade can be used to transport soil, that is not it's primary function and if used for that function, the user will find that not much soil can be transported on a spade and that much of what was placed on the spade initially is likely not to be still on the spade when you reach the intended transportation destination.
My message to Charles is that you are in a hole, so put your spade down and stop digging. Pick your shovel up and move the soil to build a ramp to help you get out of the hole. Then when you are out of the hole, get back on topic and engage in some sensible and constructive debate on what is a very important subject.
DD, whilst I agree with your descriptive interpretation of a spade, and with the uses of both spade and shovel, I'm having some difficulties on the shovel aspect. We can, probably, all agree that the spade, no matter the manufacturer, is generally of a standard size and shape. Whereas the shovel, on the other hand, is of two very different shapes. We have your shovel which I believe to be of the square mouthed variety indeed used for scooping and transporting. We also have the round mouthed shovel which was designed more with the purpose of digging holes. The 'round mouth' actually comes to a point to allow for breaking up the spoil with more ease. My conclusion hereis that although we can call a spade a spade with ease the same can't really be said for the shovel
So far as I am aware the EU has not yet passed any laws on the design of either spade or shovel.

Makes me wonder if Butcher is aiding Foran with his recruitment, either way good signing! I'm sure he could bag us around 15 goals next season.
Maybe Gary warren had some input

Still very good money for someone who failed badly at Bolton. So where does Yogi go now - back to painting and decorating?
To be fair Bolton and their money troubles failed Lennon. He had to contend with a transfer embargo and the club had to sell a number of assets to find cash for tax man. They are still reputer to be in debts of around £170 million and could still face a winding up order

From what I can see Riordan is still contracted to York. How do you propose we sign him? You don't seriously think we spend money on him?
Why don't we sign his former strike partner Garry O'Conner as well then if we're judging players ability on what they did a decade ago.
Riordon was signed in January by York till end of season. In that time he only played four games and probably wont get another offer. Since 2011 he's played 42 games and scored five. That to me says a lot of what other teams thought of him. Besides him and O'Connor's ideas of running the line are not what we need

Did anyone else pick up on the fact Michael Stewart managed to choose group C on the first four of his five north picks? Was that the hot ball?

Personally I would rather turn off at Balloch A811, cut off north near blair drummond and back on A9 junct 10 at Stirling.
Tbh probably just as quick in a bus using the Erskine Bridge. Now that the M74 takes more traffic.
You might want to edit your list as Motherwell are missing.
Why on earth would anyone take M74 to go from Dumbarton to Inverness. Erskine bridge M8, M80, M9 and A9 would make more sense but boring as fekk

If I was Dumbarton I'd be pretty p*ssed that Rangers are in the South draw while Dumbarton are in the North. Geographically correct as the crow flies but I don't imagine many people will be travelling to or from Dumbarton in a plane!
Lovely drive for them though. Loch Lomond, Rannoch, GlenCoe, Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, Loch Ness

^ not see it a positive that a small club like ours is on the radar of a guy who was manager of one of the biggest clubs in England and Europe, clearly must be doing something right if he's heard of us. It's not always necessary to gave and inferiority complex.
He's a Celtic fan. Of course he's heard of us. Probably even has a copy of that Sun from 2000

Paddy McCourt has been released by Luton. Has he got anything to offer?
Having requested a release from his contract at Luton to return to Northern Ireland due to family problems I hardly think he'll be likely to come to Inverness

So if they don't want to subscribe to the normal customs and practices of football, why was so much bending over backwards done in 2012 to accommodate them within the Scottish leagues?
Because they cant see past the end of their noses and everyone but Rangers is to blame for their troubles. Apparantly they've been outside Ibrox today burning scarves and season tickets in protest to the signing of Joey Barton. My understanding is that Barton has openly spoken out against Israel's treatment of Palestinians and Rangers fans somehow see that as anti-semitism

Brian Rice's sudden appearance on the scene and the subsequent departure of Latapy was strange to say the least - and the two events were clearly connected - just not quite sure whether Latapy had already said he was off-ski or whether Rice's appearance prompted it! Either way, it would be better if Rice were to leave to enable a completely fresh start, but I suspect we cannot afford another severance payout......
Whats Rice's contract situation. Did he extend when Yogi did?

Hope this is not true. No disrespect to Ritchie as he has given the club great service but he needs to prove himself with managerial experience in lower leagues and is not what we need right now to steady the ship.
Just like Robbo did. Just like Charlie did. Just like Brew did

Just went into the club's website to see if there was anything about Hughes.
I happened to notice that the league table is in points order rather than reflecting the split, implying we had a much better season than we actually had.
I assume the club imports the table from somewhere rather than it being wishful thinking.
Some light relief in our current uncertainty?
The table on ICTFC is the same one as is on this site. I think Scotty will confirm that the table is a piece of software that knows not how our split works so is not programmed to understand that higher points mean lower placings.

Many are looking at conspiracies and some even assume the board are to blame. Hearken back to Yogi at Falkirk. Took them to cup final and Europe then placed big demands on board. Falkirk board gave in to him and the club ended up very close to administration. As the saying goes 'Yogi has form'

I can't confirm or deny the price RC are charging for disabled as their website doesn't mention this category but I would ask this: Does their price include free entry for carer? I also note they are charging £25 for U-12's whereas ours are free.
