Inverness Caledonian Thistle have teamed up with Ness Motors to bring you a great new competition.

 

At half-time during selected home matches throughout the 2014/15 season we will be running "Shoot for the Boot".

 

Three fans will be selected and given three attempts at shooting into the boot of the Ness Motors Car....if you score, you walk away with £100 Cash!!!

Brilliant work from the media team - what progress we've made! 

Which player got ball in boot, deserves car for that, rest were miles off. Russel Latapy worst, good idea though.

Which player got ball in boot,

Looks like Josh Meekings

I thought it was Meekibgs

Meekings scored it 

So Meekings is the only player who can get a shot on target

Someone might have given the players the impression that the first to get it in the boot got the keys for the car...hence the celebration 

I mind we used to do this ages ago in conjunction with MFR ( I think). Tich McCooey always got pelters as soon as he came out to get it started.

What distance are they kicking from. I think it will have to be an Alan Morgan style kick, straight as a die, not like my usual bend it like Beckham, Imrie ( towards the corner flag )
Josh hitting the target from that distance doesn't surprise me that much, himself and Grant were always good at finding their man on the wing during a counter attack.

 

Can anyone remember what the prize was for getting the ball in the boot of a beetle and how long ago was that?

Distance is from centre spot to just off the pitch at the North East corner of the park.

That discriminates against us lefties as the natural curve will take the ball  across the target rather than into it.  Guess I'll just have to strike the ball with the outside of the foot. 

 

 - If only I could kick a ball that far at my age! 

It also discriminates against guys like me who can't kick a ball to save themselves

Distance is from centre spot to just off the pitch at the North East corner of the park.

 

So, a kick that's over 70 yards, and you say "...if you score, you walk away with £100 Cash!!!" - "walk away" - not awfully likely really.  £100 wouldn't even cover the vet's bill!

Think you need to brush up on your Pythagoras!

How many yards is it, 

By my calculations 68 yards from centre spot to corner flag.

 

So the 70 yards comment wasn't exactly outrageous.

I checked today and the dimensions I was given previously were meters written as yards....the tape has it at just over 61 meters (about 67 yards).

I worked it out on a pitch size of 115yds x 74yds, which would make it about 68.4 to the flag.  I must have overestimated the couple of yards I allowed for "just off".

 

I'd still need to be carried a minimum of 39yds to the tunnel.

Nah....we'd just "Dig a Hole"

Nah....we'd just "Dig a Hole"

 

Go ahead

PS - Are we off-topic yet? - You Gotta Love It

Do you get anything for getting it out of the centre circle? Can barely hit a golf ball 70 yards, never mind kick a football. Registering for this now seems rash - public humiliation ahoy!

I checked today and the dimensions I was given previously were meters written as yards....the tape has it at just over 61 meters (about 67 yards).

So basically a bunch of PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS struggled doing this and you are only giving £100 for it, i doubt many people could get it in a boot of a car from 7 yards never mind 67!!!!!

Or are these trials for a new striker and the £100 is a signing on fee?

Must be nice to have so much money that £100 is such an insignificant amount!
