I'll go for that.
We keep clocking up points but seem to be getting nowhere.
The Caley are 6 unbeaten and still in 9th, it’s ridiculous.

Yeah kind of thought he would with the youth caps he's had. Encouraging to hear though!
Aye he was decent enough. You can tell he’s not played a lot of football but the more he plays the better he will get.

Is the BBC at it saying you played Cammy Kerr at CM?
No they are bang on. Been there the last 3 or 4 games now. Was actually quite good today.

Why does the chairman not simply sell his property empire and buy us some centre backs?

Morrison is absolutely minted apparently. He owns a lot of the new buildings on the waterfront in Dundee I’ve been told.
He was saying last night that ILI started sponsoring us and this battery farm thing all came from Morrison doing a job for them and this is just a favour in return. Must have been some fucking job he did if this is work multi million pounds.
He seems like a sound enough guy and I have no basis for this but I reckon he will keep covering our losses for a few more years if this battery farm thing gets dragged on and on. If at the end of the road the application does get rejected I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him call it a day. He’s clearly very invested in this project and to put all that work in for nothing would be the final nail in the coffin for him.

Ah, does he own Inverness or an investor?
I'm sure I've had dealings with him if it's on the site that used to house the Michelin factory.
Current Chairman. No idea how much he owns of the club tbh.
He didn’t say where it was. It’s not the one on the opposite side of the kingsway from Asda that is already up and running if that is where the Michelin factory used to be.

Another horrendous result for Scotland, yet again losing comfortably to Canada.

Not saying we should have won the league when Killie were in it but we at the very least should have been in the mix with them and Arbroath. We had the squad, just a complete loser for a manager.

Did anyone ask if the club have considered simply living within their means with or without the battery money?
It means being a part time club.

Surely the smart play is to invest it in more battery farms.
He’s actually doing one in Dundee as we speak! Morrison that is. Nothing to do with the club.

Was that Gardiner who said that?

I wasn’t there but I read the chairman used the Broomhill game as an example of where the club actually lost money as there was only 2 away fans at the game.
Yes Mr chairman, but what about the Hibs game in the next round? Did we lose money there?
Yeah he did make that comment. He didn’t speak much, thankfully, but it was full of shite jokes mostly. The worst one was directed toward Keith Haggart about there being loads of folk in the highlander room for once. I mean, read the fucking room mate.

In which case, we still need to take other steps to become financially sustainable (like getting rid of Gardiner), otherwise we’re just kicking the can £3m further down the road.
Yeap, once we getting planning approval we sell the shares in the battery farm company for £3.4 mill.
That money is then going to be invested in projects on the ground we own at the stadium to make the club self sustainable. We need to generated between £500k-£950k a year to plug the losses as long as we are in the championship.

Think of all the centre halves we can get with nearly 3 and a half million quid
Seen a few folk on twitter say that Ross Morrison spoke quite well
Honestly, I thought it was going to be a complete and utter disaster after the first 5 minutes but aye he was very impressive. Maybe didn’t handle Bannermans opening question very well but he is very emotionally invested in this, as well as financially, so I’ll cut him sum slack on that.
He was incredibly honest about everything and he came across as a normal bloke tbh not like one of those corporate wankers who responds with your typical bullshit.
Going into the meeting I was expecting to come out thinking the club has just gone and made an arse of something else but they’ve got me convinced. Only getting one side of the story, obviously, but it’s looking like extremely odd behaviour from the council. Or 2 councillors in particular. I don’t know what it is but it seems to be fairly obvious they have some sort of hidden agenda.
Even if the vote doesn’t go our way next week they seem confident the Scottish government would overrule the decision on appeal. However that could take a while and we are extremely fucked financially if we have to wait 6 months or so to get a decision. The £3.4 million offer also might need to be renegotiated if it does go to appeal.

Very interesting meeting tonight. Worth a one off payment of £3.4 million to the club if this gets approved.

A few Scotland things over the last few days.
Firstly, the men bounced back from their defeat against Canada to convincingly defeat the hosts, UAE, by 8 wickets. Charlie Tear made in beaten 56 in the chase on his debut.
Cricket Scotland have appointed Doug Watson as the permanent head coach. He was in temporary charge last summer and will take up the role once again in April after the conclusion of his contract with Auckland.
And finally, details of the next World Cup League 2 series have been confirmed. Forfarshire’s Forthill ground in Broughty Ferry will host the series against Namibia and Oman on May, with Oman hanging around for a T20 at the same venue 2 days after the last ODI. Think I’ll try and get along to one or two of these games, it’s just along the road for me and a ground I quite like (mainly because I took a 5-for the only time I’ve played there, albeit at a very very low standard of the game!).
Was happy to see Dundee being announced as the location for these games. Much better for travelling down rather than going to Glasgow or Edinburgh. Will hopefully get to a few of the ODIs now.

Me at 7pm in the highlander lounge tonight.

Agree with that. Mckays finish was good but the keeper looked slow to get over to his right.
Yeah, not taking anything away from the finish. Just don’t understand where MacDonald was positioned considering where the ball came from.

Goals - nice finish from McKay, what’s the goalie daen for the second.
Don’t think the keeper covered himself in glory for the first goal either. Horrible positioning.

It’s a genuine miracle that the wean is still into football considering the shite he has had to watch recently.

Duffy into right wing back, Kerr over to left wing back and Harper into midfield.
Or more likely it’ll be Doran, McAllister and Shaw in midfield.
Duffy is carrying an injury as well

What a time to have an injury crisis.
I don’t have a clue who we are going to be playing in midfield.

There's a fair chance the clubs will be permitted to stream the games tomorrow night, although going back to covid times, the Inverness stream was utterly honking, made worse by the commentary.
We don’t do streaming at all anymore so you won’t be finding one to watch.

SFA New Ticket System
in Tartan Army Ramblings
Posted
I totally forgot about these going on sale on Thursday. Managed to get two tickets for Poland and Croatia, in shite seats behind the goal, but couldn’t get 2 together for Portugal. The seat map was showing as 2 available but when I tried to add them to my basket it wouldn’t let me. Not sure what was going on with that.
The new system seemed to work pretty well but it was a bit confusing trying to select adult and junior tickets. Only took a minute or two to get my head around but when you are only given 15 mins to complete the checkout and want to try and get tickets for 3 different games it made me panic a bit.
