Ach Mannie, dear mannie,eh sure feel yer pain, another gemme cancelled because of the rain, the Bhoy's ,they were coming from near and from Farr, arriving in trains,and buses and cars Now Tommy said "naw" the pitch is to wet, yer no playing here,well at least no yet, gies and hour to get ready, see what i can dae, The Telly said wait? are ya daft, get away! a decision was made to abandon all hope, so the Bhoys that were left sang their songs oh the Pope, in pubs near and Farr,they bemoaned the wee Caley, and went to watch Rangers and go an the swalley. Their day ended well when results filtered through, Yenited had beaten their rivals in Blue, Conspiracy theories were put to one side Ya just cannae beat nature, the rain and the tide.

Don't share your distrust of Tommy but if you think the fault lies with him I have to disagree with you. I am very familiar with how the USH was installed, what depth below the surface it sits, what material it is embedded in, where it has worked/failed elsewhere (not as a heating system but as a blockage to drainage) and what corrective action is necessary to have the issue resolved. Suffice to say, none of this is down to Tommy Cumming. Perhaps you would wish to comment on the level of postponements pre and post the installation of the USH and the reasons why? Once again, we have a perfectly adequate discussion on an issue that is causing concern turned into a slagging match of all those associated with the club. Boring, just **** boring.

Full report now available here, it's shorter than usual:- There's it. The game was on, the Celts were here You didnae have to be a seer To see the rain that fell o'er night Would put us in a sorry plight No for the first, and no the last The fans were treated like second class The ref he made his early decision It brought about much criticism It's no his fault, I hear them yell Something to do with the SPL They tried to phone and were enraged To find out, they were otherwise engaged The bodies that run our national game Have brought about this hall of shame There's accusations we couldn't careless Invershneckie (it's the fuckeen business) Rubber bumpers and right eenuff Have seen this city strut it's stuff But all hells let loose when a drop of rain Spoils the weekend, it's a fuckeen pain.

Phone ins are so stupid. Imagine feeling the need to express your thoughts on complete strangers, and them tuning in to hear those thought. Pathetic.

Getting grief from a Celtic fan is like Gaddafi taking the moral high ground. It has to make you laugh.

man that is so sad. I used to work for John (paper boy !!!) when he first opened the shop, great guy, even if he often slept in. My sincerest condolences go out to his family. RIP.

I'd love to know the corrective action required to resolve this issue , are you going to enlighten us ?

Esson Tokely, Hogg, Munro, Gillet Hayes, Cox, Duncan, Doran Foran, Rooney Subs: Tuffey, Innes, Duff, Ross, Sutherland, MacDonald, Odhiambo. If the team are as serious as they say they are about still going for a top 6 place then this is a must win. Kilmarnock are missing the prolific ways of Sammon and Taouil who is crocked. I think we are playing them at the right time.

and what about the ICT fans who had travelled up from the glasgow area, take your head out of the sand and stop the childish insults towards visiting supporters who help the club's bank balance, we get more from the OF than the rest of the teams in the SPL, most of the Celtic fans were very close to Inverness when the news was broke that the game was off. if people want to support a team that plays miles away from them then that's up to them, i live ten minutes from saint midden but drive up to Inverness to watch the Caley because i choose to. Firstly, for what it's worth, I completely agree with your decision to choose The Caley. Secondly, whilst I both admire, and support the lengths you travel to watch The Caley, I don't completely agree with your mode of transport. The trains are a far more enviromemataly friendly way to travel, because after all, it's the future generations of Old Firm and The Caley fans that have to live on the Earth we leave them. In saying that, if you drive a hybrid, all is forgiven. Car pool is good too. Thirdily, I like your pun about head in the sand and childishness, but the Lion King was a jungle based movie, not desert, with a u rating (suitable for all, adults and childrenl), so unlucky. As has now been stated by The Caley official website, the game would have gone ahead if an hour delay were to be permitted. If the fans attending the game were the only concern, why did The Caley and The Selik not just agree to kick off an hour later? It must be because the fans at home, that hadn't travelled, wouldn't have been able to see the whole game, as scheduling is more important to the tv companies than the wasted time o travelling supporters. If we want tv to be the main financier of the league, then they are also the boss, and everyone needs to accept the concequencious. No one wants anybody to waste their time travelling for no reason, but it can't be helped. If the pitch is unplayale, then thats it. I honestly, couldn't care less if we lost money and the Queens Celtic boycotted every game we ever play against them. If they never came North, or from their houses in Culbokie, Fortose, Nairn etc...... again, then I see those in favour of referees free from old firm pressure as the winners.

I think it's meteorological symbology, with a philosophical explanation of the symbolism inherent in that great work "the lion king" which explains why 'tic fans don't come from Glasgow in the same way that gorillas don't live in foressts and zebra's don't graze on the savannah. At least I think that's what it is.

There's a fine line between passion and stupidity. When he got Juanjo sent off, what passion! Getting a touchline ban against Hearts, what passion! Getting sent to the stand in a friendly against Athletic Bilbao, what passion! The guy's a liability and it's only a matter of time before he gets himself the sack IMO.

Dougal is obviously a county fan. Only county fans are negative about ICT and obsessed with seeing us do badly.

I heard Colin Calderwood on BBC Radio Scotland this morning. He thinks Hibs can still make it in to the top half. Surely we can do it.

Sorry but USH did not cause the problem. Very heavy rain caused it. Spiking would not have made a blind bit of difference because the water had no place to go. It should have gone into the firth but the extremely high spring tides held it back. Covers over the pitch would not have helped the problem. The water still needs somewhere to go. I'm just surprised IHE hasn't been around yet to explain the effects of the aquifer. Disagree Alex. TCS has endured numerous downpours over the years but, to the best of my knowledge (await correction), a match had never been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch prior to the installation of the USH system. Surely the format of the rain hasn't changed in this period therefore it must be the alteration to the drainage that is the cause? Previously, despite the location of the pitch and the impact that the tide has in its ability to drain, the pitch coped. Now it doesn't. The USH is the cause. Ask Tommy. Yeah, that's a great idea, let's "Ask Tommy" if he thinks the waterlogged pitch is down to the USH (which has been installed for 6 years without waterlogging being as prevalent a problem as it has been this season). I'd imagine in Tommy's world anything and anybody is to blame but himself - I heard a whisper that our beloved groundsman was in fact instructed early last week to take a specific proactive measure (not sure of the technical details) to alleviate the potential water problems, but in his omniscience, he decided to ignore said instruction (probably because at that point the forecast wasn't too bad, or maybe because he counldn't be @r$ed). Clearly someone has to take responsibility for this costly fiasco. Either the groundsman who refused to act on a specific instruction from the club's management, the club's management for not issuing such an instruction, or the board for not backing the club management's desire to take the action necessary to prevent the problem in the first place. Unfortunately it is Club ICT we are talking about, so the protected cabal of Sutherland lackeys will be free from recriminations and repercussion. Oh well let's hope that Motherwell's form takes a dramatic dip and we win our next 3 games, make the top 6 and this whole sorry saga can get properly swept under the carpet.

A bit harsh :annoyed: This will be the final table Celtic Rangers Hearts Dundee Utd Kilmarnock Aberdeen Motherwell Hibernian St Johnstone ICT St Mirren Hamilton dougal Looks like you're for the drop, Dougal

Have a greeny

Clubs a joke ashamed to even call myself a fan

Don't condone that either. Eh, bit of a difference in celebrating your team getting to the Champions League final and getting Juanjo sent off by blatant cheating. Another stupid thing to do. These are adults, not wee boys. And anyway, to me it looks like McCoist isn't shouting at all, more likely saying something about Diouf. It's Lennon who snaps and appears to say "hang on a second, he had a pop at me first". Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that he's a wee ned who constantly gets himself in trouble and loses nearly every must win game. He'll get found out before too long. He doesn't exactly strike me as a particularly intelligent man at all, something that'll lead to his downfall in the future. so you know him now do you? a wee ned? and not very bright, you say he dived, he'll say he never who's right and who's wrong? he'll know a wee bit better than you eh? as i said before i don't buy into this anti neil lennon bias that's been doing it's rounds since he was playing. our fans booed him as well as most other teams in scotland and that was shocking IMO
