ICT fans XI v ICT Legends & Friends XI

Come along on sunday to watch the match the weather never wanted you to see! A legends and friends XI including Charlie Christie, Jimmy Calder, Barry Wilson, Stuart Golabek, Al Hercher and others managed by Mike Noble are taking on a fans XI at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium at 1:30pm. If you want to know all of the legends that are playing, you'll just have to come along! It's organised by ICTFC and Caley Jags Together and sponsored by The Castle Tavern, MacDougall & Hastie, Paul Cumming and The Innes Bar. Entry is free, but Caley Jags Together would appreciate a donation which will be used to promote ICTFC and its fans throughout the Highlands.

Entry is through the away players entrance and the main stand will be open on the day. The sports bar will also be open for the duration of the game for food & drinks.

This is the first match of its kind that we have organised, and all of the fans have paid for the chance to play on the pitch against a legends side full of ICT heroes and we need you to come along and create an atmosphere that they won't forget. We can't promise SPL quality football (well I can't anyway!) but we can promise you a laugh and a bit of nostalgia on a football free weekend. We'd be really chuffed if you could come.

Yes, we'll done Davie, Allan, Jamie, Andrew etc for the Alamo like defensive effort! Most enjoyable effort by everyone.

From my position in the stand near the half way line, I could just see over the rim of my plastic pint `glass` that the ball was clearly over the line.

A fantastic afternoon`s entertainment. Thank you  to all those that made this happen.

It was a cracking day and all the fans got pretty decent time on the park. Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly and all are up for a repeat next season.

Jamie Fraser kept the score down with a string of magnificent saves and was deserving of winning the Man of the Match award.

Dom did very well at the back also and would have been up there for nomination too.

All the fans side gave it their best effort, and those that turned up to watch the event also seemed to have a good time (although that may have been because the sports bar was open throughout the contest.)

Anybody got any info on Mike Sanderson, Bruce McGraw & Dean Bowern! I'm pretty sure they are not ex-players so I imagine they are "friends". What is their link to the club?

 

PS Sounds like a good day! Looking fwd to the highlights

I remember Bruce McGraw and Mike Sanderson playing for us in the early days but I'm afraid I don't know who Dean Bowern is!

Danny Macdonald got the 5th goal not Barry. Are we not getting the 7th goal that gave Herchie his hattrick!

Bruce McCraw (not McGraw) scored 2 on his debut against Arbroath in October of the club's first season. He put Caley Thistle ahead in 25 mins and then Arbroath pummelled us for virtually the rest of the game which was played in a thick mist. They equalised in the second half and we feared the worst.

Eventually  the rain came on and killed off the mist, and in 92 mins, in a rare CT breakaway, McCraw was put through and scored the winner at the Codona end to the joy of the dozen or so CT fans gathered behind the goals.

Bruce never scored for Caley Thistle again...... he had a handful of games that season but then moved on (where?). He had a couple of seasons at Clach.

To cheer me up from this Scotland result, please say the highlights and pictures from sunday are soon to be published online ;)

Edited March 26, 201312 yr by RossP

Ross, nothing will cheer you up after that. But yes, they will be up soon.

I imagine your goal will be on repeat in the Balfour household for the foreseeable future!

So is Jnr changing his username to Geoff Hurst?

I have no reason to greet like Frank Lampard or Leigh Griffiths, cause my effort was clearly over the line and correctly spotted by the lino.

 

There's weren't even close

Was there not one disallowed?  Hard to keep track when watching through a 2 inch screen and only had a quick skim through the video to get those.

First batch of photos are up on Facebook (from CaleyJags.com) - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.607293052631578.1073741826.286752478018972&type=3

Any sign of the DVD/highlights?

Ross

we're just waiting on Ian Auld to add a commentary and then we're there. As soon as it's ready, we'll be in touch.

Whens my man of the match award getting sent out?

Anymore word on the dvd?

There was a miscommunication between the videographer and the soundman in regards getting the commentary added which has held things up.
