Kudos to young Marc Hurst for donating his prized ICT possessions to the Raigmore Children's Ward appeal .... Marc, as many of you will know is the son of "Mrs Jnr" (nee 'cutecaleychick') and stepson of Gringo Jnr on these very boards and like his stepdad (and the rest of us) very proud of his ICT gear .... Must have been a big wrench to give it away, but he managed to raise a very commendable £225 for the cause. Well done Marc ! Full Story in the Courier

Has the picture been issued yet with Tommy forking the pitch whilst standing in a rowing boat Peter Paul did try to get a picture ........

And is that a Scotland training tracksuit that I spy - the lads got more sense than his Dad and Grandad. Respect wee man

But the real message here is that the glory days of the Howden Enders and the Jeggie Bestards will be fondly remembered but are in the past. We are now all united under the banner of Inverness Caledonian Thistle - O2feckinB. Wishing a prosperous and Happy 2012 to Terry and Mo and all associated with ICTFC - even the administrators and the erselickers

Who would have feckin believed it - Caley v Thistle - live on Sky Sports from the Munlochy Millenium Stadium, in front of a capacity 25,000 crowd. And they have even provided us with a special studio panel. No - its not Jeff Spelling - it is the Sneck equivalent - our very own Deaf and Smelling - Charlie Bannerman - resplendent in his school shorts and reling the glories of Top of the Form. He is accompanied by the one and only Terry Butcher, the 2011 Journalist of the Year Ewan Squirrel Murray and on the video link from Canada - our very own Scarlet Pimple - who makes history as the first person in TV history to reuire a 48 size fonted cue card. Charlie in his Inverness Royal Academy prefect uniform accepting the Top of the Form trophy. And the CTOFA chairman - Sip Bladder - has changed the rules for television viewing and both sides will be able to take on two legends at half time, whilst replicas of the Heathmount and the Muirtown Motel have been erected at either end of the Stadium. And both sides have been allowed to take on Management teams - The Howden Enders will be managed by Willie "Bibble" Fraser and Colin Arnott - two of the original Caley Animals and the Jeggie Bestards have chosen Sandy Rose (was he not a Caley Animal ?) and Duncy Munro, Howden Enders : DJS - Caley100 Mantis IHE - Doresboy - Buckett OldCaleygirl sub: KindofBlue Jeggie Bestards : Kingsmills - King Beastie GovanJaggie Jaggy 666 - Tichy Blacks Back (TBB) Red and Black Comeback (RBC) - Jagster And the venerable ADC Kidd blows his whistle and the clash of the titans begins. As expected the game starts at a furious pace and both DJS and Kingsmills are busy from the off. Both keepers have had a solid tournament and lets hope that DJS' from doesnt crash whereas the jury is out on Kingsmills. And yet more history is made as CaleyOldGirl becomes the first ever wummin to score in an Inverness derby - although both sets of supporters may suggest otherwise. And it is from one of her trademark scissor kicks that the glorious opener is created. But - as in the best of derbies - the Jeggie Bestards reply almost immediately - the newbie Jagster runs through Caley 100's legs and his cross is met by King Beastie and the game is on. Chaos in the Howden End - a double decker bus has parked behind the goals and a "Crout Out" banner has been unfurled by an elegant pensioner in a white suit and a mullet. Charlie Bannerman takes the opportunity to promote his books !! And on the stroke of half time Buckett raises a roar from the Howden End as he outpaces and outmuscles the Jeggie defence like last orders at the Royal Ordnance and the Blue half of Sneck rejoice Half Time : Howden Enders 2 Jeggie Bestards 1 The second half starts with the introduction of two legends for both teams - all appear to be incognito - the Howden Enders have a fit looking fifty year old in a Bob the Builder mask and a man in a muppet outfit. The Jeggie Bestards have two players in fancy dress - one dressed up as the Planet of the Apes and one like Plug from the Beano. But the ever vigilant and knowledgeable Charlie Bannerman notes that the Jeggie legends are not actually wearing fancy dress but are actually Charlie Duncan and Davie Milroy. But is the effervescent Govan Jeggie who honours the Riach name by equalising after a glorious through ball from Mr Duncan. The game is getting heated and IHE and Plug Davie Milroy clash. ADC Kidd produces the yrllow card but IHE goes to the bench, picks up a custard pie and splats it in Mr Kidd's face. ADC Kidd sends off Johndo MacKenzie for the 10th time !! Chaos reigns further as the Northern Constabulary remove IHE and Dewsbury Dude from the stadium on the suspicion that they have both been involved in a betting scam. IHE removed by the police ?!! The Muppet shakes his head and remarks "And he calls me a muppet". And back on the park the action is as frenetic as ever. But Mantis is caught off-guard whilst taking more photties, runs in to Caley100 and RednBlackComeback completes the comeback and puts the Jeggies ahead. ADC Kidd looks at his pocket watch and is about to blow the final whistle when Bob the Builder steams through the Jeggies defence and launches a 30 yard bullet in to the top feckin corner. Bob removes his false head and reveals that the hero of the Howden End is actually Billy Urquhart, Some things never change. Full Time : Howden Enders 3 Jeggie Bestards 3 So even more history as the first ever caley v Thistle clash moves in to Golden Goal Time. It is nip and tuck but the Jeggies break. Govan Jeggie feeds Charlie Duncan who rounds DJS and The feckin floodlights have gone off !! After a 10 minute wait the lights are back on and Willie Fraser proclaims that he had accidentally spilt his beer on the fuse box. Claims and counterclaims abound as Jeggies claim that Duncan netted whilst the Howden Enders claim that Caley100 had reccovered and cleared off the line. Unfortunately we may never know. And then the Howden Enders break and the exhausted CaleyOld girl puts in the muppet and it's the Golden Goal. And of course the only possible muppet could be Grasser Bennett. IHE returns from the Custody Suite to pick up the trophy from Marius Niculae. But as the Howden enders celebrate IHE is apprehended again by the Northern Constabulary for allegedly making a racist remark to Mr Niculae. This is now a very believable tale.

Young Spaniard Roman Golobart has decided to stay at Inverness until the end of the season. See Inverness Courier Link:- http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/Golobart-extends-stay-at-ICT.htm Good decision by all concerned. Golobart has been outstanding in the last few games since his early season errors and has come on in leaps and bounds. Davis and Chipper still to commit.

I think he has covered all his bases in that article. Career in politics if it doesn't work out on the pitch!

Dunfermline only seem to have a problem because the Fife police are actively weeding out these idiots , about time the rest of the Scottish police followed suit.

Delighted to hear he's staying. And yet just a few weeks ago I wouldn't have been bothered. I'd like to think Owngolobart has benefited from good coaching from a couple of top class defenders to help cut out the cavalier stuff from his game.

From Hong Kong. Possibly the best own goal I've ever seen.

Well, if such a tackle is against the rules it could be a deal breaker for ICT to launch a law suit against the SFA for refusing to act on "The rules" to punish the player. Extreme? No !!! By taking this immediate and decisive action, ICT would show how strong this team and their management is and that this problem will no longer be tolerated. If you are not prepared to fight for what you believe in then no wonder you get singled out for improper treatmemnt.That's why I liked Terry's rants against the SFA. Putting up with this kind of crap, game after game, earns the club no respect and in fact may be promoting and exacerbating the cynical attitudes that currently prevail at high levels. An unimpeded continuance of this unfair treatment at the expense of "The Rules" will hurt ICT and further reduce the reputation of Scottish football. What's needed is for the beaten dog to suddenly turn on the beater and give him or her a savage bite and a shock that they will not recover from quickly. RESPECT chums. Go for it ICT. Anyone agree wth this?
