    There always has been one, in what was the old section G, then Section E etc. To my mind though, at least the whole North Stand ought to be a singing section. I think what's happening over the Bridge is a recognition from RC that they have become alienated from a great swathe of their support and they have to do this kind of thing to get it back. To be fair, that hasn't happened here so we don't have the same need. If we could get more fans over the door to make a bigger noise, that would be our only real need addressed.
  2. Yeah, both ICT players - but even back then, I didn't get excited about them. Okay, I'm biased, but when Inverness Thistle appointed Leishman - that was a big surprise. His 'stock' in the game was still high. We (The Jags) also managed to get Billy Abercrombie - now that was something. He was a player who'd gone up the Hampden Park steps to lift the Scottish Cup as his team's winning captain. An honour bestowed upon few, like John Greig at Rangers, Willie Miller at Aberdeen, Billy McNeil at Celtic and Billy Ab, latterly at Inverness Thistle. I don't recall Caley ever recruiting a player of such high pedigree. Umh.....Sergi Baltacha......capped by USSR numerous times including world cup finals and euro champs and Dynamo Kiev Capt!! Besides.....caley didnt sign has beens...they supplied quality to higher league teams....Like billy urquhart (scored in euproe for Rangers, palyed for Wigan) kevin macdonald (Leicester city captain, Liverpool champs lge medal winner....aston Villa and rangers) Steve whathisface...that went to Wolves when they were doing well

But the others were Caley players that were sold on - I could quote Darren McLean for £30,000 to Liverpool. Huge money in those days. But that's not my point. ' Thistle secured a 'big name' signing - Caley liked to think they were the 'Rangers of the North' but like their Glasgow counterparts, who like to still trade by that name, are living on sheer fallacies from by-gone-days! Why do you consider him more ICT? He'd never have been at ICT if it hadn't been for the Caley Committee luring him North. Was a big deal at the time btw
  4. That's probably because you are too young. Off the top of my head I can remember Bobby Bolt and Bill Patterson (both ex Rangers) and Paddy Buckley (ex Dons). These were all big names. I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could think of several more. Wasnt the signing of Dave Johnstone and AnDy penman pretty big deal too? im sure my dad told me that
  5. That's a big statement

    I see our friends over the bridge are introducing a singing section for home games. Would it be an idea for us to try and do something similar? Would be good for the atmosphere.
  7. He'll likely start on the bench, but yeah, I hope he can get a goal if he's introduced. Are Northern Ireland not on some astonishing run of not having scored away from home? But even more astonishing, yet another Billy McKay thread?!!! What was wrong with the appropriate 'Billy MacKay (sic) Northern Ireland' thread! That YOU started!
  8. And Duncan is now built like a big ginger Highland Coo!
  9. How to kill a crowd and atmosphere: move the game to a Sunday and have an early kick-off
