It doesn't improve his performance, but personally I have more respect for the refs if they are able to come out afterwards and admit their mistakes. I was as angry with the decision as anyone at the time, but these guys are only human, and get one quick look at an incident. Can you honestly say we have not had any dodgy decisions go our way this year? These things usually even themselves out over a season. Just be thankful Essons big toe stepped up to save us a point and the refs blushes, and lets not all turn in to mini Neil Lennons!!

Yes - I am going to post this prior to the last away game of 2010: I would wish to raise a glass to Terry Butcher, Maurice Malpas and the regular away supporters - Win, lose or draw tomorrow I will be on my feet at the end - having sang for another 90 minutes - standing proud - with hopefully the entire ICT squad at our end - and acclaiming a season that will surely NEVER be equalled. The performances - on the park and on the terraces - has just got better and better. CaleyAwaywithTerryandMo - 2010 - Vintage feckin stuff - Never to be forgotten.

Merry Xmas to ALL CTO posters - IHE x

We have become a nation of people who need to be rushing from place to place and who need somebody to blame if we cant. No matter who the transport minister was this setback would still have occurred. And it will occur again. I predict the same come february and next year and every other year. Years of financial cutbacks and mis-government are to blame for this. Not the minister. I'm old enough to remember when areas of the highlands would get similar snows every year but we coped. Yes some used winter tires. Some used chains (the modern aesthetic alloy wheel cant cope with either and / or the cost of having two sets of wheels to hand is way too much) but many just stuck a few bags of sand in the boot with a shovel and just went on their way. My father worked on the roads in seventies and eighties with Lochaber council. Back then they had two snow blowers and six MAC snowploughs. These vehicles along with other tipper lorries fitted with grit spreaders and snow blades kept hundereds of miles of road open in area's such as Glencoe. GlenRoy, GlenSpean, Rannoch Moor, Fort to Sneck etc. And also the single track roads into the hills and glens of Lochaber and Ardnamurachan. Inverness district had a bigger fleet of similar vehicles and done great work as well. The MAC's could plough eight foot drifts with ease and what they couldn't do the blowers done for them. They all patrolled the roads, kept them black, salted and gritted and kept road users on the move. Trouble was that the money counters came along and realised that we were in a period where the snows are not so heavy or long lasting and the vehicles lay in storage for nine months of the year. They also believed the scientists who spouted the global warming slogans and so chose to let the custom built machines go and prayed ever since that all would be right. What they failed to realise was that climate change, if indeed its happening, will take hundreds of years. Not days, as the urgency seems to suggest.

Fair play to the ref for admitting to an error. That shows the integrity Celtic have found so lacking. Justice was done when Flyin Esson saved the pen. Though I fully expect Murray to give us 3 pens next time he gets us. You know Wiccan rules. Do one bad thing and get 3 in reverse to balance it out? Beattie blatantly dived. Theres no two ways about it. He's always been fairly easy to go to ground in the box and this was another example. The sooner players were retrospectively punished via video for conning refs the better.

If they had done that then we wouldn't have got the satisfaction of seeing Esson save the penalty and knowing that Miller was sick as a parrot.

Did you not mean "Did you not mean "if it isn't"?"

tbh if the A9 is bad the game should be postponed on grounds of safety as that was the reason the Utd game was postponed. I am really looking forward to the fixture however I think fans safety has to be the most important point! Could they call this fixture off as early as this afternoon?

Translation: "GIRFUY IHE!" Looking for the green dots eh - can remember YOU having a lot to say at the time as well. Bring on the feckin red dots if they have to come - at least I stick by my principles ya CREEP - and lets not forget who almost took this club down the feckin tubes in the first place (and many posters agreed at the time)- and the other issues attached to those two seasons. And before the personal "insults" I was going to let this rest. But lets give praise where praise is due - the Muppets have learned from their mistakes and the fortunate intorduction of TB and a few other changes have brought this club up to SPL standard. They have learned from their mistakes and are becoming more and more "professional by the day" - can only be good fer the club. But some can blame the likes of me BUT we were in "CRISIS" because of inane decisions. So smack me with all the red dots ya feckin care to give me - cos if ya dont agree you are either deluded or feckin unaware of what happened. I hope that this post shows how much I actually CARE - I am eating humble pie but if TB hadnt come along and Brewster hadnt been pushed (by the fans)we may all be feckin starving.

Wish they would stop "tinkering" and just get it sorted properly. Talking about anything less than a top tier of 16 teams is, IMO, a waste of time. If they can afford to pay larger parachute payments, they can afford to support a larger league.

Every Russell Duncan goal has been a screamer

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.

sorry but i really dont find that funny. but hey fair enough for trying

EXACTLY!! thats why i tend to not be too arsh when it comes to refs. How many times have you watched match Of The Day and seen the panel watch an incident, with every angle concievable available to them, for them to turn round and say...well....it looks like a foul from this angle, but when you see it from a different angle....... And they often get a few moments to dwell on an incident. refs dont have that luxury. So....i do get p1ssed off at refs at the time of a bad decision, but i dont carry grudges against them

It's kind of a reverse of the DUFC game - no snow down there but plenty up here. If the team and fans can't get down, the game will be off.

There's nothing in Edinburgh snow-wise.

CD is spot on in stating that appeal grounds are very limited. Await with interest but instinct tells me that there will be no appeal and perhaps this is just being used as a negotiating tool to try to reach out of court settlement on the forthcoming Sheriff Court action. Sorted , I can assure you that he will get an appeal, and this is by no way a negotiating tool as Marius would not entertain an out of court settlement. What Marius was perhaps a bit guilty of is being a bit complacent a Have been wrong before though........ Sorted , I can assure you that he will get an appeal, and this is by no way a negotiating tool as Marius would not entertain an out of court settlement. What Marius was perhaps a bit guilty of is being a bit complacent and not attending the hearing. Marius will not make this mistake again and yesterday appointed one of the top sports lawyers in Europe to handle the appeal. Careful how high you wish those costs to be Sorted, it may not be Marius that is paying them.

I love Roooney He looks lovely and he plays amazingly! he's just all round prefect

Eh? I'll give u a wee clue, CIS cup semi We might have made the CIS cup semi had Celtic not gotten six goals against us.

The problem is when we (the fans) see an incident, ala McCulloch dive last week, that is so obviously a dive yet the ref gives a foul, even a rangers fan i spoke to the other day said it looked a dive from where he was sitting in the south stand. The ass. ref had a good view of the fall/stumble/dive yet didnt try to correct the referee. Why anyone would want to be a ref is beyond me, they demand respect, but respect has to be earned not given easily.

There have been numerous new betting accounts opened with heavier than normal betting linked to the Hearts v ICT match. An official spokes person from Bet Aware has noticed that new accounts have sprouted up in Dublin with heavy bets being placed on a Mr Adam Rooney to score a hat trick. There are also irregular betting activities around the Inverness area with Mr Duff and Mr Munro to score in the first 5 minutes in the same match followed by heavy betting with any time scores for players Tokely,Shinnie,Cox,Duncan,Hayes,Ross and Foran. The betting website suspects foul play. The full story can be found on the Bet Aware website with the following link. http://www.betterware.co.uk/

Pysh & Drivel have a story saying Duff praises Ref calum Murray for coming out to apologise for getting the penalty decision wrong, Ref Murray spoke to Butcher at the end of the game and said sorry to the ICT manager. Thats fine then, everbodys happy, the ref has not got a guilty concience anymore, does that make his performance acceptable then ? H e was rank rotten that day, and if Miller had scored that penalty and won 3 points would an apology make it acceptable? dont feckin think so.
