I was recently in Northern Bangladesh as part of a project looking to build cheap floodproof housing. While we were over there the local builder, who was leading our work, had just set aside some land to be used as a football pitch for local kids. He wanted to have a bit of an opening ceremony for the pitch so organised a match between us lot and a local youth team. I thought I'd bring over a Caley Thistle ball over and spread the good name of the mighty ICT that little bit further! We thought this would just be a bit of a laugh and a kickabout but soon found out from the local gossip that it was getting built up as a big deal for the local villages - mainly due to the fact that we had been billed as International Superstars - must have been a let down, expecting Ronaldo and not even getting Kirk Broadfoot! Walking the couple of miles from our building site to the pitch set the tone, initially we had about 20 folk walking along the path with us which quickly grew to a couple of hundred. When we came through the trees into the clearing for the football it was absolutely incredible - it was like walking into a festival. Pre-match crowds International Superstars! The opposition - bunch of ringers! Action Shot! Can just about see the caley emblem on the ball... Barefoot as well, you don't realise how hard football is without boots till you try - well that was my excuse anyway After the game we were told that an estimated 5000-6000 people had turned up for the match. Roads were blocked for miles and people were rafting across the half-mile wide river to come watch! I reckon that makes it the third biggest attendance for a game involving a Caley Thistle ball this season! And by the way, we won 1.0 Anyway, I was wondering to what other faraway places has the good ICT name been taken to? Flags in Brazilian Pubs? An Ian Stewart shirt in deepest Transilvania?!

Witty chants?? If i was you i'd get the mods to delete this thread before it gets any more cringeworthy if thats at all possible Having said that i'd still prefer to hear your chants than the govan/ulster orks dougal

Love2Love are suing him for lack of appearance apparently.

I wasn't here last week, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that some of our supporters were refused entry to, or thrown out of Celtic Park last week for displaying some kind of Loyalist flag? I find it a wee bit sinister and disturbing. I'd hate to see ICT or any faction of its support become associated with the kind of sectarian bile that's become synonymous with football in Glasgow for over 100 years. . .

Which of the following McBains is your favourite? 1. Jill McBain, played by Claudia Cardinale in Sergio Leone's epic spaghetti western Once Upon a Time in the West. 2. Muscular Simpsons action hero and 38th Governor of California, Rainier Luftwaffe Wolfcastle aka McBain. 3. Evan Hunter, who as well as writing the screenplay for The Birds used the pseudonym 'Ed McBain' in his other guise as a bestselling writer of crime fiction. I was starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel there. Are there any other famous McBains? Roy is more straightforward: Roy Jenkins, Roy Cropper or Roy Race?

Good spot! I think I also saw him in a movie recently....

Are you for real? I think if you look up the word loyal, then it would say 'being faithful to something'. In this instance ICT. The loyal on the flag has nothing to do with sectarianism, it simply relates to following the team week in week out. Anyone suggesting that it has an affiliation with religion are the real bigots. And for your information the flag was in the stadium last week, hanging proudly despite attempts by celtic not to allow it

Online shop???

Funny you should mention that, I heard they were going to implement this idea but with one addition...2500 holes which are secured with velcro. That way they can just pull the duvet up over the main stand and use it to keep everyone warm during the match.

Ice hockey see's a way of getting more audiences by targetting footie fans with nothing to do. Very commendable and sensible business accumen. Charles, as a man of such knowledge as yourself I'd have thought you'd have known that ice hockey is not an American sport. The game has its roots in Nova Scotia and, rumour has it, it began with Irish and Scots immigrants playing a cross between shinty and hurling on the frozen lakes of that land in the early 1800's. From there it spread through Canada and then into America.

I think big Dunc is a good choice, he will fit in really well with the locals who in my experience all appear to be fellow gingers dougal

Pele would hav done it but they couldn't trace his favourite movie "vodka galore"

What temp is your central heating set at ?

As I've said several times already, the emergency services had not given any instruction to the SPL about lack of resources. Whilst I appreciate services may well have been stretched in the central belt, conditions in Inverness were not that bad and their would almost certainly have been no trouble providing personnel for the match....in fact, I wonder how many officers ended up with little/nothing to do as they had been rota'd on to work and ended up not being needed. With police depts already facing the threat of cuts, having the SPL wasting man hours will not be helping.

Anyone know what the 918 stands for Yes thanks

Can you lend us a fiver?

Anyone know what the 918 stands for and just out of curiosity is a union jack flag allowed in.
