Rooney appears to be Butchers favoured striker - but why? I'd be embarrassed of his strike ratio.

Because he's big I reckon. Butcher has had one constant at every team he's been at - long high balls towards a target man. A boring and mostly ineffective style of play. No wonder almost all of his teams fail.

Butcher is welcome back to Sydney any time, take in the sights, catch a ferry, maybe a latte at a beachside cafe, just do not let him anywhere near an impressionable young footballer. Will infect them with long ball strategy, dogged spirit and tactical ineptitude.

Not slagging TB off just rings bells !!!

As an ex Airy-Fairy, I do not see a problem with the merging of the RAF and FAA both talk the same language air wise and being more streamlined might get rid of the old *ankers in MOD from both sides!!!

So perhaps a new thread, when we have enough takers/ shareholders, then go to the Press, they cannot ignore that, just a thought!!

Where can I buy shares, or ? are they worthless, if not? does that entitle you to vote in a shareholders meeting and ask the questions, others do not ask??? and then with the other worthys vote no confidence or do the board ignore???

My log in time seems tp a bit awry. I am logged into latvia on windows clock but some of my sent posts time seems to be well out of sync

Am mesmorised by all these posts , and I fully udnerstand CB's stance, he's between a rock and the proverbial hard place.

This thread is much better than the did he didn't he thread.

Surely it is a matter of public record re' the ownership of the ground. Who are the faceless behind the companies, I guess one is company secretary but who is di Ciacca!!

Do you truly think an investigative journalist would be interested, in this story, what about the local press or are they scared of what they might unearth and lose advertising revenue.

I feel this saga will go on and on until the proverbial hits the fan!!!

I thought we'd dealt with the pirate problem three or four hundred years ago.

No we still have a Government!!

Oh dear the Govt, has a pressing issue to deal with , to smoke or not??

I know the dangers of smoking, the resultant hype etc:, but at the end of the day people have the right to choose, not to be told, by an inept Govt, more concerned about lamenting about expenses etc,

What about the two people held by Somalia pirates , the Govt seem to be doing Feck all, perhaps if those hostages had been caught smoking Govt might jave come up with a quicker response

This thread seems to be going awry!!

Basically CaleyD seems to have been treated shamefully, I agree with Odd quine , this is a forum for people to air there views, NOT to be used by the powers that be (and I use the term loosley) as an excuse to get rid of someone who obviously loves the club, wears his heart on his sleeve, but still; gets *hat on

Ok some of his posts are pedantic, not many shades of grey !! its either or. But my point still is this, we have a forum where, what you say here should stay here, not be used as a rather weak excuse by whoever, to deny someone who has given a lot to the club, and I guess if asked would come back tomorrow. The banning order seems over the top.

Don't go to the press Don you are above that, don't give them any PR, we have enough negativvity

You could get a radio mike and stand outside the ground, tap into their frequency, and cause utter bedlam!! Now there's a thought

As a distant fan, I too am upset by the cavalier treatment meted out to CaleyD.

I would caution however shooting down Darren, after all he is only the messenger boy. If he doesn't do as the powers that Be tell him, he will be the next one down the road.

I am sure also that the board are aware of the depth of feeling mounting against them, they would be naieve to ignore it.

I agree with the post that the Trust should become more voiceiferous, it doesn't matter whether the people complaining on here, are trust members or not,. They are FANS who have the welfare of the club at heart.

I wonder if any board members are going to the Drumossie, better wear Flak jackets

Shoddy way to treat a volunteer. I wonder if enthusiasm will be as high for snow clearing when next required.

btw Have you seen this amusing youtube video called ICT Boardroom ?

Brilliant!!!

Where have I heard this on this before on this forum

Great result, getting it together at last?? and the team I play for won as well, few sherbets tonight!!!

According to today's Courier: http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/fu...m_the_cold.html

"It is understood the Russian side were prepared to pay a fee to secure the 22-year-old's services, while Caley Thistle were not keen on agreeing to Ventspils demands. On the insistence of Bulvitis, however, Tranzits look set to allow him to return to Inverness with the Highland Capital club currently in the process of finalising the details of a deal that would keep the player at Caley Thistle for the remainder of the campaign."

If Bully has insisted he be allowed to come back to ICT rather than go elsewhere, and it actually happens, then I think that is exceedingly encouraging and will certainly endear him to even more fans. Could we be seeing the emergence of a new cult hero?

I did say on this site ages ago he liked ICTFC, trouble with Tranzits is they are near the bottom of the league, with a crap ground, doubt if it holds 500, havent won anything in ages, So can you blame him for wanting to play in a better?? set up. Looking at the Latvian national team s aged defence wouldnt be surprised if he gets a call up soon, and Pavels has been released by Venstpils, but guess youve run out of spondulux!!

I'd like to think there will be some truth in this.

Presley has only made 8 posts - all on Nauris and claims on one of these to be his brother.

Whether matters can be resolved in time for Saturday remains to be seen.

I've got my fingers crossed.

NOT his brother!!!

From the Galloping Gourmet pilot:

when I was last home , I ate at the Rocpool and the Redcliffe, to be honest I thought both were good atmosphere etc and a reasonable price.

Only my thoughts!!

Hope you get more answers than I did!!

What my LFF friend tells me is, he could have stayed with ICTFC if a small fee had been agreed as Transit season doesn't start till March, nought happened andf now another club in Scotland has expressed interest. A short term loan fee is the norm here should have been all sorted before but Again!!! board hesitates!!! I hate to repeat, but I did say before Narius would come good

Renegade don't rely on Google translate

A fashion designer as one of the panel!! I remember him some years ago spouting off on a fashion programme I felt then, his taste was somewhat dubious, and he was a scruffy wee runt, so who is he to judge???

Just a thought but, could you get a team together and come here to Latvia to play against an expat team I run,, average age 40, give or take

Get here on a Friday, via Prestwick, and then, we meet you, take you to your hotel and then hit the town Friday night, you will meet the/us -- opponents, and gaaain free entry to a night club courtesy of me!!

Next Day Sat, we would play at 2pm our time and after we would go to the Irish Bar for a meal and some light entertainment!!! think about it!!

Then afraid back to the clubs

Sunday you could go and shoot various russian guns in an underground bunke...r AK47s and Kaleshnikovs or go on a bobsleigh run ....it is hairy trust me

Then back to the airport with loads of addresses and new friends

any interest, let me know!!!

Ok all, here is my attempt at doing a regular quiz, most of these you should know, but I have Googled one , so if u have the answer I Know!!!

Mike

Great result!! made a bad day better for me,

So where are the Narius doubters now???? told you he needed time/ different league etc:::

ooohhh, look at me, for new read knew...............thats what happens when I rush.

Good quiz though, difficult questions I thought. If anyone on here knew all the answers off the top of their head then they should be on mastermind.

Stick one on every weekend, it will soon catch on. All answers should maybe be PM'd to you but google will always be my friend. Maybe those that look and try could add their scores as the days go by.

should I do a weekly quiz based on your suggestion then???

Cant win can you neither can I spell, when I am crapulous

Sounds like you're still a wee bit crapulous...

Not today, bit frowned on in my line of work!!!
