  1. The main reason why clubs in the top two tiers are full-time is because they also have the largest resources in the country to afford it. I remember some part-time players being clearly less fit in the lower two divisions about twenty years ago - that's no longer the case. The fitness gap between part time and full-time players is minimal but as in most other areas of work, the better players will tend to prefer having the opportunity to focus on their 'profession' instead of juggling it with a day job. There are exceptions which allow for a fair degree of overlap between weak full time teams and strong part time teams, but it's that access to players that forms a self-fulfilling cycle.
  2. Ignoring 'bad news' and inconvenient facts seems to be working out well for you.
  3. Horseshit. Inverness CT have been registering losses of £800,000, £1 million and similarly outrageous sums on an annual basis at this level for years. All of those figures have been in the public domain. There is no hidden financial bombshell - they've been dropping from a clear sky for fucking years. What have you done about this? Have you registered your alarm with the way the club is being run into the ground financially - note financial management, not the fact that you're festering in the second tier? What fan organisations have been formed to protest and end this mismanagement? Just last week Gardiner and other club lackeys deflected attention to the Big Bad Council and the guaranteed windfall you stood to lose - how many attendees continued to lap up that pish even at this late stage? For you to then complain about being 'shafted' by Highland Council is absolutely risible. They are not actually responsible for keeping your buckshee Monorail operation in business for another few years.
  4. Perhaps the fans should do something about the negligence and 'entrusting' officials, instead of giving it crocodile tears when some consequences occur years down the line.
  5. What does the job role involve on a daily basis, and in what bizarre alternative universe should individual schools even be tasked with developing their own inclusivity policies?
  6. It wasn't a generalisation. It was in fact very specific about the circumstances and requests made to the referee, which were fairly dinghied because their entire day does not in fact revolve around your braying club blazers' convenience. Unless you are suggesting that the two clubs simply fabricated some claims to support this 'generalisation' purpose, in which case we can still file your weeks of mewling in the bin.
  7. How much did your bankrupt live event company generate for the cash-strapped local authority? Part-time football does not equate danger to the existence of a football club. Until Inverness from board room level down accept the fundamental concept of actually paying out only what their own income generates and sucking up whatever level they end up playing at as a result, any outside sympathy should be reduced to zero.
  8. Perhaps you could start by actually reading posts for comprehension before embarking on this laughable white knighting effort: Yep, definitely attempting to merely paint a fuller, more balanced picture of events by: • completely misrepresenting the end of independent statehood proces as its inception and • claiming that they lost international recognition because of the enlightened anti-racist policy of, err, massive, racist slave empires like the United States in the 19th century.
  9. No, I think I'll continue to discredit your thick as mince, racially loaded nonsense hot takes.
  10. I can see why the armed forces proved a natural home for you.
  11. Well no they very much are mutually exclusive, because the Haitian state was not in fact set up to be a racially exclusive system from the start as claimed. The 1805 constitution was a reaction to multiple attempts to re-enslave the liberated population by mixed race and white colonialists, most recently by Napoleon and the atrocious Leclerc expedition.
  12. If you're a completely ignorant moron who thinks that 1805 marks either the 'inception' or the 'outset' of the Haitian revolution, sure.
  13. Make your mind up please as to whether you're pretending to clutch your pearls about the integrity of the pyramid, or excluding clubs based on geographic bias.
  14. His performance against Inverness was certainly half-arsed; I think he did as best as could be expected in a thankless lone forward task tonight.
