Ach well, after today's final that'll be the end to the season 06/07.

So might as well start talking about next season....

Who are your team playing in pre-season friendlies?
Any summer transfers/rumours for your club?

We're going to Tuscany again, but doing the usual friendlies against Inverurie Locos/Keith etc etc.

Don Cowie is joining from our 'feeder club', he'll take a bit of time to get adjusted to SPL football, like Rankin, but will do well in the long run.

Dargo. Who knows? There's a few folk who are 'in the know' who say that Dargo is happy with our offer of a new contract, but his girlfriend hasn't settled in Inverness, hence his reluctance to put pen to paper.

Few rumours on the go about various signing targets. Liam Buchanan from Cowdenbeath, James McPake from Livi, couple of loan signings from Man Utd and Celtic. Maybe our new scouts Georghe Hagi and Gica Popescu can get us a wee gem

By the way, the fixture list for the new season comes out on June 14th, with the league starting again on Aug 4th. Scottish Premier League | News and Features | Features | All-time SPL table

Barcelona and Everton for friendlies.

So many transfer rumours (as you'd expect) - as long as we punt a load of the shitty Eastern Europeans I'll be a lot happier, Jankauskas and Klimek already gone, hopefully Barasa, Ivaskevicius, Kanchelskis etc to follow. Hleb's brother is an almost certain incoming. Rumour doing the rounds of Hart from Aberdeen, but don't see it happening myself. Been linked with Robson (thumbs up), Naysmith (thumbs up - but no chance), Rae (thumbs down), Steven Hughes from Leicester (thumbs wavering in the middle).

As long as it's a significant improvement on this season, I'll be happy.

Ours as follows:

17/7/07 - Stenhousemuir (A) 7.30 ko
19/7/07 - Falkirk (H) 7.30pm ko
21/7/07 - Ayr United (H) 3.00pm ko
24/7/07 - Leicester (H) 7.30pm ko
26/7/07 - Alloa (A) 7.30pm ko
28/7/07 - Queens Park (A) 3.00pm ko

At least we'll get a visit to Hampden, ho ho.

Prospects? Not overly impressed with the appointment of McCall, would have been slighty less disappointing if Chisholm had come back with him. He's bound to be better than DC mind you, so mid-table mediocrity with improved home attendances and a slighty better style football with would be a par score for me.

Another cup run would be quite nice too. But they always are, aren't they?

Not sure what's happening pre-season at The Theatre of Pies, but I would expect Naismith to go - likely for peanuts - and some ex-Hearts donkeys to sign for us.

Peter Leven is going (cheerio, cheerio, cheerio) - talented, but fat and slow.

I expect Willie Gibson to make an impact next season - good old-fashioned winger.

Would quite like to see Craig Dargo return. I thought he was excellent for us, but spent 75% on his time at Killie on the physios bench.

For the second season in a row, a Scottish 1st division team is going to be in Europe...

I'm surprised Celtic didn't play in balaclavas.... totally mugged Dunfermline.

Even worse considering we were 1-0 up on those soapdodgers with 89mins gone in the quarter finals

Cant wait to get the fixtures out next week. Next season will be the first season in 6 long years since ive had a season ticket. (Watse of money when you work offshore)! God bless this 2 on 3 off rota!!!!

With regards to transfers etc. Lee Mair and Jackie Macnamara in, two good quality signings if you ask me. Also looking at a couple of dutch players. Hopefully a couple of Hans Guilhaus's (if thats the correct spelling)! and not a couple of Peter Van Der Arks!!!

People leaving is open to speculation i think, Russel Anderson will he wont he etc.
I really dont want any one of our team to leave!!

Anyone know when the European fixtures come out?

Bring on next season 10 weeks and counting!!

Oh and has anyone got any ideas how i can fill my Saturdays for the next 10 weeks. God i hate the Fucking close season!!

You could have got an offshore workers season ticket.

I had one the 2005/2006 season. But when the fixtures came out for last season i was only supposed to be home for five home games!!! (That all changed about 2 games into the season).

But now i can get a real supporters season ticket!

Come on now! Peter van der Ark? You're mixing your shit, moustachioed midfielders with your inept beanpole strikers!

Although, big Willem was a bit of a cult hero. Not quite sure why, but hey...
