  1. From Mondays Scotsman LOVE IN AT NEW LOVE STREET - Ewan MacMurray Group 4 Security have announced plans to make amends with travelling fans of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, following widespread condemnation of their brusque approach and draconian "policing" tactics at the recent Hibernian v ICT match played at Easter Road. Group 4 Security spokesperson, Adolf Mussolini, apologised profusely stating "We would wish to unequivocally apologise to all Inverness Supporters who attended the match at Esater Road. Our stormtroopers were overexcited by the aggressive match plan laid out by the new Stadium Manager, Vladimir Romanov, and they took their adrenaline out on the ICT contingent. We unfortunately did not hold back on men,women,children of all ages and apparently even through out a Highalnd papparazi - although he gave a false name of a pope. Group 4 Security have held preparatory talks with Strathclyde Police and the Stain Midden management. They aim to provide pre match entertainment at the slacious Alamo Bar on the aptly named Love Street. Cocktails and a buffet will be available and personal invitations are being sent out to members of the SESH and MOB fan factions. It would appear that members of those groups may have been singled out. Adolf added "Fortunately we have maintained a list of names of all those ejected and we look forward to make amends to the likes of Donald Duck, Elvis Presley, Ronald Reagan, Peter Paul XV1, William Wallace and the grey haired Marius Niculae". On arrival at the grounds all Inverness fans will receive a complementary packet of Lovehearts and will be encouraged to share the sweeties and enact the mottos with the stewards. Inverness fans will be provided with free flowery seat cushions and they will be permitted to stand whilst singing. A suggestion was for a chorus backed by flares but Health and Safety has limited this but ICT fans will be allowed to wave orchid scented joss sticks as they sing "Wise men say". Half time will herald a rendition of "All you need is love" by the Group 4 choir. Stewards will mingle with the ICT support and hope to encourage a flurry of group hugs, whilst doves will be released an rose petals will be scattered like confetti. Inverness fans, Mann4thejob and Johnboy expressed their support "This is an admirable gesture and brings back sweet memories of Woodstock and love ins. It will be just like the Aviva advert." So Paisley will be the place to be on Saturday 25th September if your goal is world peace and it will be pleasing to see the yellow jacketed barstewards being amenable for once. MOB spokesman IHE concluded " We all thought that there was a human being inside that cold, gruff exterior. It will be nice to watch ninety minutes of football again. I just hope unruly influences like the Highland Exile wont spoil it for us.

  2. I'll be happy with 11th at the end of the season but on current performances would expect better. Apart from some serious concerns at the back due to several injuries the standard of play is pretty good. The SPL is new to many of the players but they are adapting well and I have no worries. We have the potential to destroy some of the weaker SPL when the ball runs for us, but the occasional great result will also be mixed with a number of matches where we underperform and get punished for it. Let's enjoy the great results when the come but not worry about the poor ones. This is a developing team and for anyone to expect the kind of run we had last season is crazy. Unrealistic expectations and over critical reaction to defeats will only place undue pressure on the team. I was disappointed we lost yesterday but I actually enjoyed the game

  4. Someone is making a killing. My 10 yr old grandson went to the kiosk to get a hot dog and a bar of chocolate, he had a ?20 note, change back - ?4.60 ! Now either the prices have gone up again OR someone looked at him and decided on a quick profit. The lad did nt like to say anything incase he got the usual "it wiz definately a tenner" son ! Service ? It's a joke, 3 lassies behind the counter IE Dead Slow, Stop and Still asleep ! Surely someone from the club, reads these forums, for a "family" orientated club, they must realise that it's "get a mortgage" time before contemplating a Family Day Out. We travel 120 miles each way, and are season ticket holders, myself and 4 grandkids.............. SEND THEM AFF REF !!

  5. IM a subscriber of 11th place finnish or higher as being our goaal. We are only 5 games into the season. ICT are notorious slow starters! Apart from the Hamilton result, i think things have gone as I would have expected.

  6. A lot of sensible responses - We really have to look at making 11th as our first goal and anything extra in the first season back is a bonus. You would have to admit that we havent exactly had the rub of the green so far either. We have a small squad and our survival was always dependent on keeping the first team picks as fit and as available as possible. Losing both first choice full backs is a big blow, add Foran to that, even Gil, Innes has been AWOL and add in Hayes coming back to fitness - it syas it all - and then we draw Cellic away in the cup - who broke the dressing room mirror. The defence which is usally our mainstay has chopped and changed with TB practically forced to play a few players out of position and that doesnt help at all. But Rooney gets better and better, we appear to have brought up a couple of young starlets in Ross and Sutherland and we are spolit for choice in goals. Duff is also beginning to look like a good buy but he split up what looked like a knowledgeable partnership in Duncan and Cox and Cox has had to alter his role a bit. Ask the same question again after we have played everybody once. And finally our away form could be the crucial ingredient to ensure that we stay in the SPL mix next season. There is a long way to go - and if you need any reassurance - just go back to December last season and look at where we were then.

  7. It is hard to work that one out. We were about halfway through last season, before Duncan was recalled to the side after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Oddly enough his return seemed to coincide with that long unbeaten run in we enjoyed in the second half our season in Div1. I'd like to see him and Duff in a central midfield pairing. Cox has not been very convincing at SPL level.

  8. The thing that irks me about the Russelldinho situation. He scored a spectacular goal against United, we thumped them 0-4 and he gets dropped........ work that one out.

  9. Relegation dogfight? Surely not... I thought we were unlucky to concede a goal right on the stroke of half-time. We had more than enough chances to take a least a point from this one. Things can only get better. Once we get McCann, Gillet and Richie back and fit again, the results will come.

  10. Reading forum comments nobody would realise that the season is becomming real messy - 3 home matches 3 defeats How many more defeats before somebody moans? Away form can't carry a team up the league.

  12. I thought we were going to kick on today after scoring the first goal. However, the comments above on the inept defensive display cover everthing I was going to say. Play like that on Wednesday at Septic Park and they will get absolutely hammered. Even when McCann and Gillet eventually come back I still fear we will not good be enough at the back to survive.
