Alas I won't make today's game, but thought i'd start a dedicated thread for those who are at the match to report back.

Hopefully this'll be the chance for Niculae to start, along with Black. Perhaps Marsh along with another trialist??

My team would be....

----------------------------Ridgers------------------------------

Marsh--------------Duff------------Munro---------------A.McDonald

Sutherland---------Black------------Niculae-------------Morgan

--------------------Wyness---------McCallister-----------------

Nice pics, was that an Inverness Thistle V Clach game?

Keep up!

Taxi  :023:

Zoooooooommmmm....... :014:

I got some pics too but I'm just home a couple of hours and can't be ersed tonight. Also got some from Keith yesterday.

If it's alright with you guys I'll also get the pics added to the sites Gallery.

Anyone else who has pics from pre-season (or any other game for that matter) and wants them added to the site gallery can e.mail them to me - donald at caleythistleonline dot com

Aye I don't mind. Some of mine have come out better than I thought despite not have my telephoto lens to hand.

Don, believe me, emailing you the pics is a whole lot easier than setting up a web gallery and uploading them to my own space (plus I don't have a lot of space anyway). Are you up for that, or is it easier if I get Photoshop to do the web gallery and then you or I upload them to this site? Let me know.

Both days I got a lot of pics that could be used for squad lists etc, plus one or two of the goals etc. Also feel free to rip the St Mirren pics which are HERE as I want to get rid of them shortly.

Will drop you an e.mail.

Thank you very much gents. These pics are appreciated.

The team looks fit! Morgan has a determined look  about him and a strong athletic appearance.

Nice clean-cut white strip. Very Classy!

Looks like most of the squad has had a run-out now and , like another poster, I feel, good about the way things are likely to go this season.

Charlies efforts in strengthening the squad, plus those of Management in supporting him, are very positive moves and this could be our most surprising and best  SPL year to date.

No kidding, the oracle has sent me a wink and a nod and I am just passing it on.

In fact unless my reading  of the message is wrong a great win in the opening match with a capacity crowd cheering on the team is a definite possibility. Asking Canada Bob for good odds....

:022: :sillywave: from Canada.

Was there this afternoon too, also got some pictures.  Think it was William something? who replaced Jamie Duff btw.  Also if the guy who was stood next to us is reading this - I hope your wee son is feeling better, shame you had to leave.

Billy Horne it was. Sorry to Billy's parents if you're reading this, can't find any shots of him. Maybe next year eh?

I see that the guy who's testimonial it was only lasted a minute! 

Yeah because he's not fully recovered from a double leg break  :023:

They should have moved the testimonial to a time when he could play a decent amount of the game.

Then they wouldnt of managed to snag such a huge team to play in the testimonial!  :004:

I found that quite amusing. The wee kid didn't look bothered. I was expecting him to start greeting but he just stood there, actually looking quite happy, saying "I've been sick!"  :015:

I'll be popping along. Pretty poor weather for it. I like Inveruries ground. In fact I like going to all of these so called "smaller teams" grounds. Makes you miss the days of terracing.

Your not old enough to remember terracing!!!

Erm, no. Of course I'm not  :017:

That was me with the puking offspring  :029:

He was right as rain after his projecticle hughie.  However, I thought it was prudent to head for home in case there was a repeat performace brewing.

Nightmare......
