Apparently Miles had 1:1 talks on his contract - It was looking good but failed at the crucial moment.

The poll says "favourite" not best etc., etc., etc. Calder is a feckin no brainer (pun)

Sitting in a car in Hamilton trying to pluck up the courage to get out...

Well, you missed all of the fun that we had in a cold, wet Hamilton.

Have we hit a time warp back to the days of Pele?

I can only assume that if you didn't vote for Jim Calder you are either; a) Too young to have seen him play b) One of these supporters who jumped on the bandwagon and started supporting ICT when we won promotion to the SPL in 2004.

So we're 3 short now after today, Yes ?

30 Dec 2015 Last one of the year, Billy Mckay with yet another penalty in Dundee Utd's 3-2 defeat at Hearts. I’ve totted up all the goals scored by our ex players in the calendar year 2015. This is easier than doing it season by season, as not all the playing seasons where our ex players now play match up with the UK playing season (eg mainland Europe, USA, Ireland). By my reckoning we have had 61 ex players scoring 371 goals, as follows :- 26 goals Rory McAllister Peterhead 24 Adam Rooney Aberdeen 21 Gary Wood Montrose/Formantine 18 Zander Sutherland Brora R 16 Dale Gillespie Brora R 15 Andy MacAskill Turriff U 13 Sam Winnall Barnsley 12 Brian Prunty Airdrieonians, Andrew Grieg Brora R Martin Bavidge Inverurie 11 Jason Oswell Newtown Curtis Allen Glentoran Dan Park Cove R 10 Stuart Soane Forres 09 Denis Wyness Elgin/Buckie Shane Sutherland Elgin/Peterhead Billy Mckay Dundee Utd 08 Dachi Khutsishvili Forres 06 Alex MacDonald Oxford Utd Stuart Armstrong Dundee Utd/Celtic Lewis MacKinnon Buckie Doug Imrie Hamilton Martin Laing Inverurie 05 Marley Watkins Barnsley Andrew MacLeod Strathspey Adam Evans Bohemians Andy Barrowman Dunfermline/Albion Grant Munro Brora R Tarmo Kink Levadia(Tallin) 04 Aidan Chippendale Stalybridge Gregory Tade Steua Bucharest Johnny Hayes Aberdeen Ben Greenhalgh Concord R 03 Filipe Morais Bradford Marius Niculae Dinamo Bucharest Robert Eagle Lowestoft Jamie Duff Elgin Craig MacMíllan Rothes Darren Mackie Turriff U 02 Eddie Ofere Boluspor Ibram Sekajja Livingston David Davis Birmingham Gavin Morrison Brora R Charlie Taylor Leeds John Rankin Dundee Utd Tom Aldred Accrington/Blackpool Stuart Leslie Deveronvale 01 Danni Sanchez FL Strikers Brian Gilfillan Airdrieonians Stuart Duff Cove R Callum Dingwall Formantine Darren Dods Forfar Ross Tokely Brora R Ian Vigurs Inverurie Graeme Shinnie Aberdeen Andrew Shinnie Birmingham Roy McBain Cove R Michael Finnis Clach Ian Black Shrewsbury Steve Williams Barrow Ryan Baptie Linlithgow

Chuffed to see the result, even more so when I read the story. What a finish. Don't think many teams will fancy playing Inverness on current form.

Would have preferred a comfy 2-0 win, clean sheet etc, but will certainly settle for a 4-3 win in a thriller! What a strike from Polworth. Please sign him up quickly!

Well you wouldn't want to leave early from a Caley match these days! Polworth seems to have come of age, that's some hell of a winner .... Up to sixth, just have to stay there now! In Madrid at the mo, took a tour of the Bernabau....almost as impressive as the Tulloch Caledonian!

Never in doubt

Now will we start attacking more and more a lesson to be learned surely

End it before it ends me!

Yep, gave him an elastoplast and told him to get on with it!

Unfortunately, I don't have! Unlike our penalty-takers (hence the 'dedicated' thread on that), I've never kept a record of our 'keepers' penalty saving stats! I doubt these have been reliably compiled anywhere, certainly those from the pre-internet-era! There's a website, Transfermarkt, which has penalty-saving stats for 'keepers (the only one I can find), but they only list them from around the time Mark Brown was our goalie - so, doesn't have his complete record. I've used their info to compile this list, but I must stress, it's not 'recognised' as a reliable source. (i.e. if you updated Wiki and cited 'Transfermarkt' as your source, your edit would be deleted) That said, I've no reason to doubt its veracity for our more recent 'keepers...but like all football databases is simply subject to human error. However, what is consistent, and these results support this, is my feeling that when a team have a penalty against us - they will score! Jim Calder - No data Mark McRitchie - No data Les Fridge - No data Nicky Walker - No data Michael Fraser - 0 from 16 Tony Reguero - 0 from 4 Ally Ridgers - 0 from 4 Zibi Malkowski - 0 from 3 Kyle Allison - 0 from 2 Cammy Mackay - 0 from 0 Mark Brown - 1 from 7 (incomplete record) Ryan Esson - 2 from 29 (7%) Jonny Tuffey - 1 from 12 (9%) Dean Brill - 1 from 8 (13%) Owain Fon Williams - 1 from 4 (25%)

Your missus has absolutely no reason to worry what all the notches in your bedpost signify!

I thought we played really well yesterday against a good aberdeen side who were (in the second half at least) determined to go all out for the win. In the first half, we played them like a fiddle. Despite the pre-match doom spattered statements, the shape worked really well. Aberdeen's midfield had absolutely no chance of getting past Draper and Wedderburn and by the time they had tried and shipped the ball to Hayes etc., they were mugged time and again by Tremarco and Raven . The only real surprise was that we weren't three up by half time. Don't listen to those who tell you that Aberdeen "bottled it" or didn't play well - they didn't, they were just bettered in the first half. Second half, they were better when they went two and the workload we had put in showed. By the time Storey was subbed, he was out on his feet. So, pretty natural that we get pushed deeper and there is only one outcome from that. A Gary Warren slip and it's 2-1 and the Collum show starts. He was dreadful to both sides in equal measure yesterday, but the worst of it was that when the crowd got on his back he reacted to it. I can't see any other reason for the penalty in the last minute. Not so much inconsistent as incoherent. David Raven looked fresh and determined to reclaim his place but Liam Polworth was astonishingly good. I had concerns that he might not make the breakthrough this season that he needed to but was I wrong. He's blossomed under the Hughes passing regime and added passion and dig to that yesterday. Don't be downhearted, this was a great point.

Jim Calder was a fans favourite and a good keeper for us, but he never played in the top flight and even then was he as good as Brill, Brown and Esson amongst others? Perhaps strangely it was Mark Brown I went for. I think a lot of people forget how good he was for us. Unlucky not be capped.

Hi all from a nice and hot Lanzarote will be checking the caley score this afternoon
