Inverness Caley Thistle will not be able to play in the Intertoto Cup next season because the second round of the competition will clash with an Elton John concert at their ground. (Daily Record)

The above snippet from the BBC sport website

The title is mine for which I aoplogise Embarassed

Don't apologise - fantastic title!!


Elton will cancel anyway. probably due to not enough scented toilet paper or something like that.

He'll probably demand that the Kessock Bridge, which overlooks Caley's ground, be pulled down as it spoils his view up the Beauly Firth.... Smile

As a long time Caley supporter the whole thing has me astonished. In the local Inverness paper they say there are a number of factors why they don't want to try for this Cup. The fact that Elton is playing there on the certain date being only one of them. However, I think they know they will make more cash from the Elton gig than they have any hope for that Cup.

Well done on knowing the famous quote from the Daily Record:

"Super Caley are ballistic Celtic are atrocious"

- from when we beat then fair and square at Celtic park! Smile Smile Smile Smile

That is one of the all - time greatest football headlines and that's why I thought I'd plagerise it.
