For those interested in this kind of thing, plenty of ICT videos from the early 2000's now uploaded to YouTube.

15 on there from the 2003-04 championship season up to now but will continue to add to it.

 

 

Brilliant. The game against Airdrie (away) was my first ever Caledonian match.

This was an unforgettable match and the atmosphere is the Howden End was magic.

Guarantee the SFA would've had an absolute fit if a game went on in conditions like that these days

Loved watching the old videos and seeing a young Red Card channel is inner Maradona was something else

Thanks for these uploads.  2002/03 is my favourite season as a supporter.  The period from the first derby game to when Pele left was the best football I've ever seen us play, you'd turn up every week and know we were probably going to score at least three goals.

Some great memories there. I’m not one to shout abuse at refs on a regular basis, but I remember going ballistic at Caff’s red card at Ochilview when the Falkirk player was gripping the ball between his legs. And I recall the reaction of Iain Coia (remember him?) attracted the attention of the police.

And who did Coia "threaten" - John Hughes !!  The sending off was a farce. Almost 3000 that day though

 

Thanks for posting that RiG.  I think that second goal from Iain Stewart is my all time favourite ICT goal!  Great work from from Barry and then such a casual, controlled and cheeky finish.  Sublime!

I’d love to see Stewartie lobbing Hutchison at the away end, the first away derby that season when we won 3-1. I doubt if it was on telly though.

Wow, I was away from the area then so really enjoyed that. Class finishing!

That was my first game at the stadium, missed the first one the week before v Albion Rovers who scored the first ever goal before the equaliser came from... yes, Iain Stewart.

That was the first football game I ever went to, got hooked that day. Goal even better than I remember. 

Absolutely brilliant videos, keep 'em coming.

You can even spot me, jumping on the wall to celebrate Brian Thomson's goal against Stenny

 

Not specifically related, but last season's Semi Finals is up on YouTube for anyone who cares.

Won't bother thanks. We were never in the game : all we were doing was trying to stop Hearts scoring. Worst ever performance in a 'big match' by miles (and I've been at them all).

Video doesn't work for me.

I disagree with that, we were 0-0 at half time and had a few chances to equalise that was just unlucky. We ran out of steam and didn’t deserve to lose 3-0.  We were worse against Hibs last season in the Scottish Cup Quarters.

It's certainly open to debate in a sort of 'if your aunty had baws' kind of stylee, including the disallowed goal, and conceding before the second half had really started. But I saw the game and the highlights so no thanks to sitting through all that again.

More ICT videos from the late 1990's / early 2000's uploaded today. 

Enjoy:

 

 

I mind being behind the hotel for that Killie game and howling at the goal not being given. Even more hilarious seeing it back on TV that night. 

This lockdown and a rainy day had me having a rummage around in loft yesterday. Unfortunately there was nothing up there that would be of interest to Flog It or the Antiques Roadshow but I did come across a gem....it's a VHS Tape recording of almost the entire 2003-04 season involving just ICT games. The games were recorded off the box by Uncle Albert who painstakingly put it together week in week for Gringo Junior. Also in the loft were a couple of VHS Recorders/Players which, after a good dusting and clean, actually work. I have software now that can convert this VHS to a DVD or MP4 format. 

The footage, if I recall, does have a couple of games missing probably due to no highlights being broadcast at the time. Of course, when Uncle Albert started recording this he had no idea he was starting to compile a record of our title winning season. I'm going to enjoy watching this.

Many thanks. I hope to get going with the conversion before the end of the week. Will be in touch if required.

Would be great to have most of that season uploaded. 

You didn't happen to find any 2002/03 aswell did you?  Got a gaping hole in what I've got at what was a time when the football being played was the best I've seen. 

Uploaded more videos this morning by the way,  including Caley v Clyde from 1992 (footage supplied by Mantis):
