Just wanted to say thanks guys and girls for coming down for the game, and well done with the result today. Colin Powell would have appreciated the turn out from ICT fans for his testimonial, and if you play like that this season youll storm the SPL. We are all a bit worried about the season ahead at Charlton but we will see how we go.... Anyways, hope to play you guys again in the future, maybe at your place next time around!

Considering that many of our team are English Conference and Division Two 'rejects' a win at an English Championship side is a fine result.

Good comment from Tam Cowan in the Daily Retard - SHOCKED to hear Richie Foran of Caley Thistle spent a night in the cells after a fracas outside a nightclub in Inverness. I'd no idea there was a nightclub in Inverness.

Charlton Athletic report the attendance to be 2,801 with 132 'away' fans.

Under a car last I heard

It's scorchio in North Kessock as well.

Id like to get back into it.

More than happy to participate. ?awaydays and u20s

Are we sure this is even correct?

Sent and cleaner than feckin ever before !!

A lot closer than he probably realises. Considering the historical (and geographical) links between Scotland and Norway I have always been surprised that we have not seen more players from there playing in the SPL over the years. Didn't even mad Eric try to create some modern day Northen Alliance between Scotland and Norway a few years ago in his quest for world domination. Maybe he will turn out to be our 'maid of Norway' just hope he fairs a little better in the long run. If it actually materialises this could be a sound bit of business and you never know we might get a few more visitors from across the water both on and off the park.

Cor Blimey!. That team has signed Mick Jagger...

Maybe need this for the carpark

I'm actually quite surprised football clubs are as liberal with alcohol as they are. You'd think they'd be clamping down on it as after all it is one of the most harmful and destructive substances in society. I know last season, Zdenek Zeman banned his Roma players from drinking coffee during pre-season and if it were cigarettes or other substances, I doubt we'd be so happy about it. From what I understand, and I'm not naming any names here, the way some of the players go about drinking doesn't seem to be very healthy at all. We aren't talking here about one or two glasses of wine on a Saturday night, we're talking about a full-blown can hardly walk and incomprehensible slurred words type of thing at weekends, and that's something that needs to be curtailed.

The bowlers in my team were panicking before my innings that we didn't have enough runs to defend. Because our last wicket stand upped the total to over 70, and it was a good bowling surface , they knew they had a chance to win the game. TI am a qualified umpire I actually went to umpire the game, but because Lancashire F.B. were a man short, I was asked to play, and another umpire was found from the Blackpool club. Otherwise I was too old to play. I was a Station Officer and all the other players were Fireman rank, a bit embarrassing to be hugged by one of my own men. The sad thing about my memory of this match that the lad at the other end sadly died a few days after the game from a heart attack. He had not reached his 36th birthday He was a Retained Sub Officer like me making up the numbers., You wonder Laurence why people like me have a go at you from time to time well that highlighted statement is one of the reasons. Here you are involved in a team sport with other team players and yet you still see yourself as a Station Officer and them as lower ranks. That us and then mentality and superior / subordinate attitude is exactly what has destroyed this once great Britian. As for cricket as a spectator sport......give me 220:20 any day You have no idea - The Fire Service is a command situation. The officer is not a manager but a commander his orders are to be followed to the letter without question It's not about being popular, that would make mistakes more likely. If your house is on fire and your family are trapped it is down to the men following orders. To make sure nothing is left to chance. The Fire Service is not a debating society it is about doing what you are told, and doing it promptly and quickly. Think your missing my point Laurence. First of you make the statement that I have no idea without knowing anything about me. To put you in the picture I was a retained fireman in Fort William many years ago. I was a fireman / emergency response operative at the Grangemouth petrochemical complex and I was a Fire Team Leader offshore in the North Sea. We done all the training that the fire service do plus some very specialist training due to the nature of our industry. Oh! and we put out some fires too. But to get back to the point Laurence. There is protocol to follow on duty but that should not be a consideration when participating in a team sport outside of work.
