Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I thought I'd dig up these gems from a few months back. Does Harry have the Euromillions numbers as well? County have the infrustructure in place for the SPL - i.e. the funds and the plans to get the stadium up to standard. They represent the whole of Ross-shire (and beyond) so if they do win the league, yes they are big enough. However, I can tell you (and this comes from a very very reliable source) that Terry Butcher will be making a January swoop for Munro, which could affect your season badly. This may be the signing that will save Butcher. If we get relegated, it will cost us a heck of a lot more than £40,000. So, yes. Plus, I can reliably inform you that part of the new investment will fund Munro coming back. It is in the clause that they will invest if we make an offer. Butcher will make a public statement that he got this one wrong and welcome him back with open arms - and yes, i'm sure a wage rise in the process.

Spain Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It appears to be you that's struggling to grasp the dealings of the SPL, along with Mr McGregor, not me. By March 31st you have to be able to prove either, A:- All construction has been completed & signed off. Or B (1):- You need an agreement in place to ground share with an SPL club, As both Gretna & ICT did. You seem to be taking it for granted that ICT will be an SPL club next season. If not, your next nearest port of call would be Perth or Aberdeen. & B(2):- If you start the season at said rented ground, it will be ½ a season before you can return home. So none of your opponents are disadvantaged. (As ICT did) As far as I'm aware, all that we have been asked to do is have a bond in place big enough to cover 125% of the tender prices for the redevelopment. You seem to misunderstand how the rules work in this situation. Let me explain: SPL Rule 1: Blah blah blah. SPL Rule 2: Blah blah blah. Disclaimer: The above rules can be changed at the discretion of the SPL board and simply made up as we're going, hereby essentially rendering all previous rules pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never the less, discretion or no discretion, it's likely they would insist on County playing half a season at Inverness if they play even a single game. That's what ICT themselves were made to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyMack Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The goalposts were shifted to allow ICT to park their caravans back at the dump due to an outcry for the SPL to display some common sense more or less as soon as it was ready, and quite rightly too. In the current climate it would be daft not to put pressure on them to move a bit closer to realistic goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what ICT themselves were made to do. It's true, they possibly would still implement that. But the point stands that they are apparently happy to let us develop our stadium over the summer and use it for our first home game if it is ready time, with groundsharing with ICT (be it for half a season) being merely a contingency plan.

Staggie_93 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I see the club might be running a bus down to the Hamilton game on the 10th and Partick on the 24th of march, many people planning heading to those? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'll be at both games. Hopefully a bus gets down to both (or one of them at least). The support at Livingston, Falkirk and Dundee was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 These are the only two away games I'll be missing for the rest of the season. (I'll also be missing Falkirk at home of all things!) I'm out of the country for the Falkirk and Partick games. Although to be fair, I'll be getting pished while snowboarding in Austria so swings and roundabouts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I hope to make at least one of them. Probably Hamilton since I've never been before, although I had a great day out at Partick 2 seasons ago despite us losing 2-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'll be at Partick, but sacrificing Hamilton so I can afford to go to Ayr and make it back up for the Falkirk game. Genuinely can't remember my last home game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintax Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Russell Duncan expected to sign a short term deal with Peterhead tommorow, bit dissapointed not to have seen more of him in a County shirt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Staggy4life will be bringing up the posts about Duncan being better than Kettlewell any moment now He's not getting a look in, so it's fair for both parties. I thought Elgin would have been a better destination for him though. Peterhead appear to be shit. Edited March 8, 2012 by yoda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Russell Duncan expected to sign a short term deal with Peterhead tommorow, bit dissapointed not to have seen more of him in a County shirt Yes. Unlucky for him and a pity for County not to benefit from him. He needs to play so it's understandable. I would think County might have offered to loan him rather than lose him. But then we probably need to make way for higher quality now. The other midfielders have just been too dang good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Russell Duncan expected to sign a short term deal with Peterhead tommorow, bit dissapointed not to have seen more of him in a County shirt Can't say I'm that bothered. He's neither a better striker of the ball than Lawson or Brittain, nor has the ability to burst forward like Kettlewell. I couldn't understand why County signed him in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It must have been frustrating for him going from being a semi-regular in the SPL to not getting a look-in in Division 1. All the best to him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdong1929 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Aye, didn't understand why we went for him at all... wasn't room for him or a need. Felt for him tho, must have been hellish frustrating. Hope he does well at peterhead and helps turn them around a bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think County might have offered to loan him rather than lose him. But then we probably need to make way for higher quality now. He must be going on "emergency loan" there's no other way he can leave County for Peterhead outwith a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I must admit, I thought it was a bit of an odd signing too considering the resources we already had in midfield, but I trusted Del had a plan in mind. I've been pretty unimpressed with him though any time that I've seen him. For example, the St. Mirren game he was sent out with the chance to prove himself, and just didn't do himself any justice. It's a shame it hasn't worked out for him, but it's no major loss. While talking of central midfielders though, I'd like to point out that while he wasn't on the pitch for long against Partick, I was actually pretty impressed with Flynn playing there. He seemed confident enough on the ball, and the vision to play that through ball for Craig (the one he just ran out of time to get away before the keeper closed him down) was surprising. A possible new job for the big fellow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
