It was Caledonian F.C when I first started following the team. This was in the later stages of their Highland League and club existence. I never had that solid 'my club' feeling as I wasn't brought up with the team. I never really wanted the merger to happen but would Caley or Thistle have got into the SFL on their own back then? You only have to look over the bridge for that answer. My following of the team started in 78 but I never got to see them and become a paying supporter until some ten years later. The club of today have given me so many good times (and bad) over the years that I now feel it was all worthwhile. Would Caley or Thistle have made it to the SPL (A league I hate) or win a major trophy? I have my doubts.

nothing to see here... literally

The benefit of watching the highlights I guess. We only rode our luck for a little bit. Morton got a lift from the equaliser but we ended up having some decent chances to sneak a winner before Carson's strike. I assume the penalty was given because the referee thought Ridgers clattered Muirhead when coming out to claim the ball.

As well as this merger video, Friday’s View from the Terrace also had a feature on Dyce Boys Club which mentioned and showed pictures of youngsters who went on to be successful. Most of the ones mentioned later went on to ICT - Ross Tokely, GraemeShinnie, Andrew Shinnie, Stuart Armstrong, and Stuart Duff too.

What a ghastly, negative video with at least two thirds of it harking back almost 30 years to the least appealing aspects of a 2-3 year process that so far has yielded 12 seasons in the SPL/Premiership, a place in its top six, European football and a Scottish Cup win… not to mention lower league and Challenge Cup wins. I was also at all of these tense episodes shown here, and a good deal more… also as a BBC reporter. Many on this thread will also have seen the tale unfold live. I see no case whatsoever for a video of this length, most of which attempts to portray the formation of this club in an unduly negative manner.
