Merry christmas to all caley fans the greatest fans in world! Lets hope the boys give as a present tomorrow all be it a day let :)

I'm with CaleyD on this one. McBsin in for Hayes. I'd bench Foran and start Odi.

Welcome to West Drive and GTWB Productions are proud to present the Grand Final of the 2010 CTO Festive Sevens. The Overseas fans will be sited in the Mapplebeck Stand and the Granville Paterson Enclosure - the CaleyJaggie following will be sited in the Dan Fridge Stand and the Toich Terrace. Officials for this match will be David Sutherland and Alan Savage on the lines, Graham Bennett as the fourth official and the referree will be the legendary ADC Kidd - Commentary on Jackanory FM will be provided by Charlie "where did I leave my towel" Bannerman. CTO CaleyJaggies: KingBeastie; Govan Jaggie; CapitalCaley; Red Card Riley; Internet Jnr: IHE; Stirling Observer; Joe DiMaggio; davieb; Bronson CTO Overseas: Scotty; ronnyc; Scarlet Pimple; Jock Watt; Gabby; kilda; ymip; luvgravy; Tug IHE takes the kick off and .............. the whistle blows .............. both linesman have flagged ... ADC Kidd gets feedback from the fourth official ... IHE is shown a red card and a one way ticket in a Black Maria. ONLY JOKING That would never hapen in real life Caley Jaggies appear to be spurned on and Govan Jaggie secures a lead with a swerving shot that would be lauded in Bechins fer many a year. But the boys from overseas are not finished and luvgravy equalises with a flighted effort. King Beastie does his Animal impersonation and tries to drum up the lads on the Toich Terrace. He has been thought to have been particulary nervous about being a custodian in West drive as Granville has a history with Shetland fillies. The game is going from end to end. ronnyc breaks from the back and lights up the stadium like feckin Times Square with an effort from half way which eludes the troubled king beastie. But back come the CaleyJaggies as Red Card polishes off a great davieb through ball and Krakows it in to the onion bag. The Toich Terrace resembles a Lech Poznan under 10 game. But in the dying moments the substitute Tug produces a bit of magic. It is as if he has come out of the trenches, he crawls along the touchline and fires in a bullet off a shot - but it is going wide - but it feckin richochets of Jock watts zimmer and bulges in to the back of the net. The final whistle blows - CTO CaleyJaggies 2 CTOOverseas 3 CTO Overseas are the 2010 CTO Festive Sevens Winners and Scotty prepares to climb the gantry to accept the award from Provost Dan Corbett but allows Tug to take his place. The stadium rises in applause. Why - cos we have "heroes" like Naelifts and his paramedic duties and we even have IHE looking after the lives of the mentally ill of Lancashire but that is nowt compared to anyone prepared to give their lives to the country. Hope I have got this right TUG but total respect and prayers to ya - and any other ICT supporting squaddie who wears our shirt proudly in the battle zone Nollaig chridheil agus Bliadhna mhath ur!

The success seems to be bringing in folk who maybe haven't taken a great interest in in ICT up till now. Yesterday after a stirring 10 minute rendition of "Caleyaway with Terry and Mo" had ended, a young lad behind me asked his Dad who Terry and Mo were. Dad replied that "Terry" was Terry Butcher the manager and "Mo" was Mo Johnston, his assistant. A wee bit to learn, perhaps but fair play to him, he was there and joining in some of the singing too. Continued success can only encourage more folk to come to matches and hopefully the enthusiasm and good humour of (most of) the fans will encourgage them to keep coming. I have to confess that it is a long time since I have been to an away league match (apart from County) and I thoroughly enjoyed the day out. I must do it more often!
