v Rangers at HFA Dingwall 2:0pm Friday 15th

Where now? I think last season we achieved probably the best we are likely to achieve in terms of league position and big cup win. I dont see us, or any other team, being in a position to match Celtic and Rangers to win this league. Another Europa run, with maybe getting past the first stage, would be a step forward but for me survival each season is where I'd want to be.

What did any manager know before they took the first step? Christie, Brewster, Robertson and every other manager in football started somewhere. Those I've named cut their teeth at ICT and didn't actually do a bad job in the beginning.

Fortnight waiting list for lunch at McD. They have one of the best lotteries in the land and as CaleyD says their conferencing and astroturf facilities are booked solid.

I dont think 22-24 is a big squad. Apart from the injury thing I think it drives players to work hard and win their place in the team on match day. Without competition for places the work-rate could suffer.

Yes but assuming the injury list of this season can you really expect to be playing youth players twice a week which is what would have happened?

According to this article we are third bottom ahead of Partick and County http://stv.tv/sport/football/1321105-celtics-average-wage-bill-is-25-times-higher-than-ross-countys/ I dont know where they got the figures from or how they worked out player wages over company wages (Players and staff)

The cynic in me notes that 22 players were in U-21 national squad and yet only two carried the bug back to their team. Both of these from the same team. No epidemic at Reading, Celtic, Inverness, Bradford, Rangers, Aberdeen, Falkirk, Dundee U, Man U or Sporting Clube de Portugal. Maybe it has something to do with deficiencies in immune system being as they are from Edinburgh

Now that the split is known I'd hope the fixtures would be out monday

A squad of 17? Thank christ we had more than 17 this season or we'd have been forfeiting the majority of our games. Personally I think 22/24 is a decent number

Yes we have Rig but, as has been said earlier, many good players in the lower leagues dont want to turn pro simply because they have ood paying full time careers and are not prepared to risk losing all that. When I worked in Grangemouth many moons ago I worked alongside players who were constantly being asked to turn pro but where they worked they had careers with great promotional prospects and a job, till retirement, with good pension and welfare benefits. They just weren't interested in giving that all up. Its very difficult to give up a career for the prospect of another short career when you can do one and still enjoy the other

Dont know how far RF is with coaching qualifications but I believe he has been working on them with support of Kenny C. I'm with Renegade on this one. Lets see RF in a coaching role with under a decent experienced manager for a time before throwing him to the lions. That could be at TCS or it could be at another club. Most decent managers cut there teeth under others and gain knowledge and experience from them before stepping up.

Clever spin on words ed. I said I felt offended by a phrase that was used by . That is far from bringing Irish politics into the debate. Suggesting that one group of people refer to another group of people, both groups of whom I have no desire to be associated with, has nothing to do with politics

As this election is a two method system of counting I think you should have made two polls to reflect the constituency and list choices.

I have no view one way or the other on Irish politics and did not bring that into this conversation. And as someone who was indoctrinated into the faith of the 'Wee Free' but who, for many years, has been anti religion I'm hardly going to have a chip on my shoulder about anti Catholic / Irishness

Schemes like this have been discussed and debated long before SNP came to lead SG. As has been stated the scheme has been trialling in Highland and, I believe Lothian, for around 8 years now. I haven't read the proposed legislation but understand that although some amendments have been proposed it is generally accepted by all parties as well as various other bodies. What I'd like to see, before offering positive or negative response, is comment from parents and children involved in the trial scheme

Little bit stupid and assumptious Charles. The name is MacLeod. The origin Scalpay Harris

DD, just to put things in perspective 'the great unwashed' is the orange term for the Irish catholics and thats where I feel offended. I'm a Macleod. My family are from Harris yet because I support SNP policy I'm being tarred Charles I remember your words of apology outside the Gellions last year. What was it....I'm just winding up Oddquine....Sorry friend you are an idiot and a bigot and if this site wants to kick me out for being honest then so be it

I did always take on board many of your views DD but when that idiot refers to me as one of the great unwashed then I take offence. Now I see you defend him. CB, in his last post has totally lost the plot. His is not a view of the political health of the modern country that is Scotland but an unhealthy hatred for one party. Much akin to the religious hatreds that have jeopardised our country for too long.

Oddquine, just like me, is choosing not to debate with abusive little people like Mr Bannerman. Some of his comments are not about debate but just downright offensive.

Common sense is to play it as soon as possible. Waiting till the following saturday would leave only a week to get fixtures, times and TV sorted.

Game officially off and rescheduled for Tuesday 12th 19:45 ko.
