Palmerston Test It's one of the more difficult away games of the season to round of an arduous January schedule, made more draining with multiple postponements and a demanding fixture schedule of seven away games on the trot. It all comes to a climax at Palmerston Park Dumfries on Saturday 31st January. A standard 3:00pm kick off time is set for what could prove to be a crucial meeting with Queen of the South, a team on good form at the moment, and that has seen them climb up to third in the table, just three points behind the Caley Jags and Warriors. Inverness have won the two previous encounters this season, but home advantage is often an indicator in these fixtures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket/Bus/Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treat yourself to matchday hospitality at our upcoming fixture vs East Fife on Saturday 7th February at the Sarens PSG Stadium.

That side showed seven changes from the one that beat Alloa three days earlier where only Ross Munro, Calum MacLeod, Oscar MacIntyre and Remi Savage retained their starting places. Basically we changed the entire midfield and front players. I imagine we might revert to something along the lines of the Alloa game, depending on tired legs etc. If rumours are true, Ross Millen will be missing 10 matches through suspension Last Six League1: W L L D W W The first W was the 4-0 thrashing of Accies at home then we started our seven away games that included Scottish Cup ties, postponements, extra time's & penalties, KDM ties. That resulted in L1 defeats at Stenny & Montrose then a 0-0 draw at Cove before a mini revival with W's v East Fife & Alloa. Been a bumpy ride of late but hopefully we are through the worst of it now and the win over Stenny in the KDM has laid down a marker. Chanka Zimba is our top L1 scorer with 7 goals, 15 in all competitions and Alfie Bavidge has six L1 goals, 16 in all comps including x4 in that mismatch v Dumbarton in the KDM. The two previous meetings this season have been wins for the Caley Jags 0-2 & 4-0: Back in Sept the game at Palmerston unfolded thus: It was a second airing for the new away strip and the visitors didn't have to wait long for the pink strip to open the scoring through Chanka Zimba in the 9th minute. Thereafter it was Queens keeper Ross Stewart doing his utmost to stem the flow in a first half dominated by the Caley Jags, but with only one goal and five bookings, would we pay the penalty for not scoring more and picking up yellow cards instead? These two teams had started the day on ten points apiece and just in behind current table toppers Stenhousemuir. By half time, Inverness found themselves at the top. It took a 94th minute long range strike from Luis Longstaff to secure the points after keeper Stewart had come up for a corner only to find himself stranded as we scored on the break forward. Alas Stenhousemuir scored another couple to regain top spot.

Queens were idle in midweek, having been put out of the KDM Trophy by Raith Rovers @ Stark's Park on 6th January by 1-0. This was their L1 squad that hammered East Fife 5-1 last Saturday, four days after we ground out a 2-0 win at the same ground in Methil. Stott, Kennedy (p), Douglas, Dickenson and Allan (p) were the scorers. Some turnaround for Peter Murphy's side since we thrashed them 4-0 on the telly back in November when Queens, to put it mildly, were hapless. Last Six League1: W W W L W W That's an impressive run for the Doonhamers with 15 points from a possible 18. W 's against Alloa (0-2), Montrose (1-0), Accies (4-1) and the solitary loss v Stenny (2-0) before getting back to winning ways over Kelty (3-1) & East Fife (1-5).

Loved his funky moped 🤣

Must have been an absolute doozy of a conversation then! Leaving aside the betting and COVID bans, Dick Campbell got 7 games for confronting a ref after storming the pitch, and any other lengthy bans I can find (all less than 10 games) are either for fights or for 'slurs' uttered towards other players. Only Dave Bowman is the exception with a 17-game ban. He got 5 red cards in a single game after getting the first for a bad tackle. He went ballistic at the decision and later acknowledged it wasnt his finest moment! He got three more cards for refusing to leave the pitch, giving the referee his 'views' on the card and trying to snatch it out of his hand and finally kicking the referee's dressing room door and getting the fifth. Even in England, John Terry only got 12 games for headbutting the referee.

Awww nice one - this will be my second one . I'll be in section 7 row n seat 121 !

I'll be there too, for my first game!
