Wrote a song for ICT two years ago and am hoping to getting round to recording it this year, free for the club should they choose to use it (lyrics below). As a new member would like to weigh in on some of the other subjects raised on the forum. The SPL clubs should reintroduce pay at the gate standing areas. When these were in operation at the TCS you could turn up when opportunity permitted and meet the same supporters every week who stood at the same area every week, that was lost when the all seated SPL was achieved and former well kent faces were spread around the stadium by season tickets.. I am sure this costs the club on those occasions where supporters make a last minute decision to go to the game. i also recall being told to sit down by the constabulary for standing at the back of the main stand during a game against Celtic, we challenged the Police about the whole away support standing we were told that "they will be sitting down in a moment" yeah right. I don't like the control whereby they want to know who is buying a ticket or try to check your bag/pockets which I resisted at Ibrox ( the guy knew by my look he wasn't going to dip my pockets) the security angle is ridiculous and mirrors what is occuring at sports events in the USA and elsewhere, I will not subject to someone abusing my right to privacy or touch me up, we should tell these people where to get off. Anyway, rant over here's the lyrics, the chorus is sung to the tune that the French used to support their national side "Alle Alle Alle Alle Alle" which can be used as a chant in itself. If anyone has suggestions re changes to the lyrics by all means I'd like to hear them. Yes, we're proud of our colours of the red and the blue and the history behind us, we're proud of that too so be proud of our colours, and give of your best for we're Caley Thistle, Caley Thistle from Inverness yes we're proud of our city , and it's history too and the lads that we cheer for, in the red and the blue so be true to our colours and give of your best for we're Caley Thistle, Caley Thistle from Inverness Chorus Caley, Caley Caley Caley Caley Caley Caley Caley Caley Caley There's an eagle stands over each proud highland heart and we fear no contender who visits these parts so be true to our colours, when you pull on our crest for we're Caley Thistle, Caley Thistle from Inverness Chorus

Having just returned from the game, let know one do a disservice to our players by suggesting this was a weak Celtic Team. Certain 'stars' were missing but the credentials of those who took their place were very impressive. Our players worked their socks off and it is an enormous credit to them that they are the first team to take a point off Celtic at Celtic Park after Celtic achieved 13 straight league victories. The previous team to get points at Celtic Park were...........ICT. Now encourage more people to next weeks game against Hearts. That will be a very difficult game.

That's a great result really ...to come away from Celtic Park, perhaps feeling dissappointed to have let a lead slip, whilst still being top and 3points clear, is a pretty good place to be (my other team let a lead slip at Stoke)... a fantastic start for the boys this season.

Priceless to us on current form, difference in the spfl between top 6 and bottom is goals and we are one of the few teams with a natural finisher. Board need to be looking a £1m plus, he has a contract and by all accounts is happy so we dont have to sell him at all.

In my heart of hearts, I, and I think, most ICT fans would have taken that result. Great defending for most of the game. It was funny, in the Celtic TV stream I managed to watch, listening to all their biased commentators shouting for free kicks, and for complaining for time wasting etc and wanting our players to be booked for any infringement. What a bunch of tossers. Anyway, a good result, and still top.

CEL 1-2 ICT DU 3-0 ST.J HoM 1-0 AB KIL 1-0 HIB MOT 1-0 PT RC 2-0 ST.M The in-play SP table makes very pleasing viewing - hopefully it will have a similar look at 16:45 this evening....

Cheers guys............and girl, here's a duckdate for you. The five newbies are almost ready to be released, but mother duck has been away for three nights now. She normally comes back but not seen her for three days. When the ducklings fledge, the mothers go into hiding and moult, meaning she does not fly for about three weeks, possibly she has started this early so we might try and release the ducklings this weekend. I say ducklings, but to be honest, they are almost as big as the mother now. Last weekend, Blackie duck arrived with two tiny ducklings so I had to make another extension to the duckhoose. Sadly one of her ducklings managed to trap itself under a stone overnight and died, but the other one is fine. They normally arrive in large quantities, but the crows seagulls and herons eat them at will, that's why we protect them until big enough to fly, usually 8-10 weeks. I'll stick a couple of photos on later.

Or we may not be! Lets just take it as it comes and not get too carried away.........please!

Bring it on even more now - surely Celtic will have to rest a few after getting stuffed tonight
