Ewan Murray, who writes for the Guardian on Scottish football, has posted a very good overview of our situation in the Observer today, He has always been favourable to ICT, seeing us as a refreshing addition to the Scottish leagues over the years. Interesting profile of Alan Savage and Scott Kellacher, neither of whose backgrounds I knew very well at all.

When he was embarking on his career in journalism, he was a lurker and regular contributor to this forum, sniffing out stories and passing back the odd titbit of info that he’d heard from other sources. In fact I think he stayed in Inverness for a while and I got the impression that he would hang around in the bars frequented by directors and players.

Good article, definitely worth a read.

Yes, I got drawn with him a couple of times in the Saturday medal at IGC.

was known as Jambo back then. 
 

Heathmount hotel springs to mind.

Yes, a pretty uplifting article from the Jambo squirrel/lavvy lurker, ex of this parish. I'm sure he'll be having a wee look to see how it's received.  Fair play mun. 

He grew up and went to school in Inverness I think? Millburn? 

Never found him particularly kind to ICT myself but maybe just me

I think he got a bit of unjust stick on here from a few if I recall correctly. Although could have just been banter of course. 

He chose to engage in verbal battles with IHE on a few occasions ... nuff said! 

He did like to post the odd scoop (nothing confidential) and I am sure he gleaned some info here also. He was a bit of a wind-up merchant when on here, but he is articulate and writes well, and when he writes about ICT he does it from a position of knowledge and experience, certainly when talking about the earlier years. 

As for SK - Glad he got his chance and hope he takes it. I worked with his older brother for a long time, and he has been football daft since a young age. I recall he was a hot prospect for Celtic youth, and with the family Celtic leaning then going there as a youth was a no-brainer, but I think he got injured and that put paid to that unfortunately. I wonder how he and the CEO got on... What is most refreshing about Scott, is that he speaks his mind, none of that spin and BS, just comments on it as if he were a fan ... 

A good old fashioned puff piece.

true - but always nice to see something positive these days.  

Anything about the size of Liam Keoghs "asset"?

That would have been a fluff(er) piece.
