  1. Yesterday
  2. another group shot I came across from the Innes. Originally posted this to the memory page for Big Stew!
  3. Last week
  4. I echo everything said above - so sad to hear this - RIP Dave and condolences to Kay and the rest of the family.
  5. Sean Welsh has joined Spartans, Morgan Boyes has joined St Johnstone, Jack Newman has joined Peterhead, Cammy Kerr has joined Livingston, Billy King has joined Bonnyrigg and Nat Wedderburn has joined Cowdenbeath.
  6. It's preseason so results are secondary and it was a decent day for getting out to put faces to new names in the squad. Although £12 for a friendly does feel a little steep. I don't think the trialists were as bad as some others are saying. Ojo was getting into dangerous positions with the ball but seemed a little reluctant to pull the trigger earlier. He seemed to be constantly looking for a final killer pass so that may be down trying things out and instructions from coaching staff. I'd be raging if he was doing that it competitive matches. The other fella didn't do anything I would consider out of place and seemed comfortable throughout. Billy Mckay will know what they were looking for so I trust he'll judge based on that but I wouldn't be surprised if both were offered contracts. The goal we conceded was a classic scramble and Munro was unsighted for the final shot and could do nothing about it. We weren't really troubled aside from that.
  7. Just to echo the words of Joonya, Dave and Kay made us so welcome to the Caley family. I remember the time we first met in the Caley Inn. Neither of them could believe we travelled up from Coventry to watch Caley (they were not alone in these thoughts by the way). We'd never met them before and they instantly offered us a bed at their place to save on B&B for our next trip. So many good memories that we will treasure forever. Sadly not too many photos but those I do have are the highly treasured shots from our title winning day in 2004. When we first met they lived in Ardgay. Mrs Gringo and I stay with them many years later. We travelled with them to a game in Dunfermline leaving Ardgay around 1000 and getting home via the Innes and take away around 12 hours later. We won 1-0 too - Liam Fox goal. Uncle Albert, we will never forget you. We send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends.
  8. Such sad news and a wonderful tribute thanks Scotty. I had the pleasure of getting to know Dave during HM1, what a great character and he very generously tolerated having to be bunked with a member of the ‘junior’ service. I wish I could have spent more time with him. My condolences to Mrs Guz and the rest of the family - RIP Dave, you were a legend and will be sorely missed.

    Aaron Doran

    Do you have your tickets. This is a fully competitive game between both teams as they prepare for the season ahead. Of course Aaron will feature. Your support is much appreciated
  10. Adam MacKinnon hasn’t featured yet whilst Paul Allan was not in either squad today.
  11. Was at Clach today, I thought the trialist at full back is worth considering remembering its a highland league team we were playing. Was not overly impressed with the trialist up front, hold up play was ok but no goal threat and faded in second half. £10 for a game of football no complaints
  12. I enjoy games at HL stadiums when you are pitch side and hear everything that’s said, which is why I go. I’ve just tried to give feedback to those not there, particularly about the trialists. You are right that results don’t matter at this stage, but it’s not long until we do have competitive games and we need to be ready for them. And I’m sure we all want a win next Saturday for Aaron, and I hope he gets a really good crowd.
  13. Thompson was playing wide right in the main with Chalmers and MacLeod the central pairing. He switched to the left in the second half as Longstaff didn’t appear after the break.
  14. Some posters getting carried away with performances and results in pre season friendlies. These are just about building up fitness and sharpness, nothing else. That's why I don't bother going to watch. They have little bearing on the season ahead. That said, I would imagine a much better picture will be given in the friendly against Partick with possibly our normal first team line up being chosen. Again though call about fitness and sharpness.
  15. The windy conditions made it a bit of a lottery but it was a pretty poor performance by us despite the strong line up. We got our penalty when Clach were down to 10 as Meekings got a knock in the first minute and hadn’t been replaced by the time Longstaff (I think) was brought down. Wotherspoon took it well. We moved the ball pretty well, largely through Chalmers and Wotherspoon but lacked a cutting edge and didn’t create much. Clach equalised against the run of play but there was a clear offside in the build up. Clach had the best of the second half, with Munro making one fingertip save to keep it level. Our best chance fell to young Gardiner late on but he couldn’t keep his shot down. I’ve now seen Nkwonta and Ojo twice and am not convinced by either. Nkwonta was subbed with MacLeod playing right back for the latter part of the game. Next weeks games will be much bigger tests and we will need to up our game if we are to get results.
  16. I hadn't realised Destiny Ojo was one of our trialists. Saw him play a couple of times play for Cliftonville and their reserves. He's only a young lad but he really wasn't very good.
  17. I now remember why I can't be ersed watching pre-season games. This was tripe in dry windy conditions and it got windier as the game bored on. Nothing to see here other than Mark Ridgers in goal for Clach. 4-0 at Forres for the hosts against a young Inverness CT XI
  18. I know pre season is all about getting minutes in the legs and working on tactics but wow two draws vs Nairn and Clach. We never seem to do well against HFL teams. It’s a cup final for them. Things can only get better from here I hope.
  19. 1-1 full time.
  20. Really wanted to see thomson and macloed in midfield are they connecting well.
  21. Not 3pm kick offs then....oops
  22. According to Transfrmkt his contract with Morcambe doesn’t finish until June 30th so I’m guessing he can’t play until Tuesday
  23. 1-1. Offside in build up (right in front of me) but linesman not up with play.
  24. 1-0. Wotherspoon penalty.
