I was tidying up a cupboard and found this at the back. Anyone else got one?

 

 

It's a flag, complete with wooden stick, that was handed to me outside Airdrie's ground when we faced Alloa in the 1999 Bells Challenge Cup final.  Presumably it was the sponsors who produced these rather than the club - note the complete absence of the word "Thistle".

 

The game itself was a cracker, end to end stuff with dodgy keeping and shoddy defending. We allowed Martin Cameron (who? exactly!) to look like a world-beater and it ended 4-4 before we lost it on penalties, but we should have won it long before it got to that stage.

Recall being offered one on the way in. For some reason I declined...

Those were the sensible good old days

But at least there's more red than blue on the flag!

Taking the pishh ?

And this is going to turn into a merger thread to lighten the tension!

I seem to remember that a certain Mr Sheerin may have scored 3 penalties in that game......................and still lost!    ALSO   A certain Wanderer asked me for odds on there being 8 or more goals in the game.......I can't remember how much he took off me but , as we all know, he has gone on to be Gringo's pred League double champion.

 

As you say Johndo ( or whatever you were then)  the good old days

A red, white and blue flag? I'm surprised someone didn't grab it off you and storm off in a rage. It could have offended someone.

But at least there's more red than blue on the flag!

Aye, but its the wording that counts mun!!

 

Yes, my flag is flying high up in my loft waiting....

Was it only Bellenders that got one of these?

No, that was just a rumour which I thought had been scotched.

Lets not get carried away - as Old but gorgeous Caley Girl voices  concerns about - lets just play the music and sing along to the picture.

Pitch still looks better than County's last season. IHE you been looking on 'Inverness when you were a kid' on FB?

Well yes but I have a phottie of my own - closer up - taken 10 minutes before this one

I'd stick to Russ Ballard's "The Fire Still Burns" however.

Those shoes - That was the witch who was killed at the start of The Wizard of Oz!

Well yes but I have a phottie of my own - closer up - taken 10 minutes before this one      

And this was the phottie he took first

 

Somehow the word 'roaster' is coming to mind and Darren Brown is not in the room.... ;-)

Is this the flag of some pub team or other. In all my time of knowing the football teams of Inverness I dont recall there ever being an Inverness Caley.

PEDANT

No, pennant.
