  1. They don't make the club look a joke but they do make themselves look pathetic, immature and ridiculous. They have had enough warnings and personally, once the CCTV footage is reviewed, I hope that a few of them receive a knock on their doors. Vandalism and offensive behaviour would not be tolerated on the High Street or the Eastgate Centre, It shouldn't be tolerated in a football ground.

  2. I thought that Miles Storey had his best game in a long while last Saturday and that was playing on the wings which I have been quite dubious of in the last few games. Taking the goal aside, I just thought that Miles ran riot on the left hand side of the pitch and I actually felt that there was shades of Marley Watkins about him. I seriously hope we put all our efforts to sign him up on a permanent basis.

  3. Absolutely delighted on Saturday and it hasn't worn off yet! We totally dumped on their party and their was no better way to do it. It must have been the worst trophy celebration ever. Anyway back to the game. What a performance from the boys, after Fon Williams early save and Irvine hitting the post we dominated! They barely looked like scoring where as we could've had 4 or 5. Glad to see polworth and storey back in the team, both had good games, both scored and what a goal storeys was. One disappointment was Liam Hughes...I'm sorry but he's sh*te. Everyone else was great! I must admit I'd rather see meekings at CB but Devine hasn't had a shocking season so I wasn't all that shocked to see him stay there! What a difference Tansey makes to the team and draper looked better with his partner back in the team! Was glad to see Ryan Williams get a run and he looked decent but still think the money on him and Hughes could've gone on a goal scorer! The only other disappointment of the day was some of the muppets that attended! They don't realise how much they ruin it for others. I was in the signing section and it was decent crack, (despite being stuck behind one or two bigger guys) signing and bouncing but again those boys letting off smoke bombs, starting on stewards, standing on chairs, shouting abuse at police (who were only doing their job) and abusing others was totally un-needed and stupid! And serves them right if they get punished! So I'm sorry if any of them are on here, but you's are idiots and make the club look like a joke.

  4. My understanding is the true name of the company is 'Inverness Thistle and Caledonian' which trades and plays under the name Inverness Caledonian Thistle. I'd assume the club would own the rights to all the different titles and that of the old clubs.

  6. No she didn't. What she actually said was ' This summer the SNP will embark on a new initiative to build support for independence'. Nothing about campaigning but more about getting everything right before embarking on a new campaign. This will all be about getting the right people in place. Doing all the necessary research. Having all the answers to all the questions etc. Then, of course, they'll need to find a way around election fixing.

  7. Socioeconomic background remains the ultimate determinant of future prosperity. There's no hiding from the facts on that one, regardless of the number of anecdotes you may offer as counter arguments. Our society is divided and the political changes we are seeing simply reflect the growth of those divisions. It is true that class alone cannot explain the divide. Your own belief in the existence of meritocracy and progress are great examples of the generational divide. Try looking back to when you first started looking for jobs and property. What were your prospects and what are the prospects of someone doing so today? How difficult was it for you to find secure employment with a decent pension? How difficult was it for you to get a mortgage? What percentage of your annual income was the deposit and what percentage of your monthly income were the repayments? Make these comparisons and then come back and tell me about the great progress we've made.

  8. Yes it was good to see and from Tremarco as well, it is great to read a lot of good comments for a change, I nearly didn't go to the game really glad I did it was a great afternoon out could not fault any of the team for their performance lets hope they will do the same from now till the end of the season.

  9. You are correct, it's a rebranding of the old Scotrail team who've rebranded after Abellio refused to fund them. Seemingly they've gone with the Thistle AFC title due to some of the players playing for the real Thistle at youth level. There's also a Caley in the Welfare League system as well. It isn't though a refusenik phoenix club, rather the pub team for the Caledonian bar! There's a Citadel somewhere as well. Also begs the question, do ICT still own the rights to the Thistle name and other things? I would have thought they would.

  10. Look Comrades, just get used to it......YOU LOST! Once we recover from the hilarity of unearthing a body actually called the "Democratic Socialist Federation" (that will be as in German Democratic Republic and sundry other total misnomers, and with Wolfie Smith as President for Life?) we then start reading the delusional script.... where nobody has obviously thought through the maths (or been capable of it). Let's also recognise that their whole beef is based simply on the fact that reality didn't relate to what, with hallmark naive optimism, they RECKONED SHOULD be the case, based on householders winding them up on doorsteps. Very scientific, I must say! Now for the numbers. The People's Paranoia Party say they RECKON it SHOULD have been 53-47 to them in postal votes but they also RECKON that the actual postal outcome was 70-30 against them - presumably because some conspiracy had led to the postal votes being laced with false "NO" votes. Now IF that were to have been the case, then fairly simple maths shows that for this to happen, for every 100 postal votes cast, a massive 77 dodgy ones would have had to have been added. Furthermore, for the postal turnout to have reached 96.4% after these additions, the original "genuine" postal vote turnout would have had to be an grossly unbelievably low 54.6%. And from there the conspiracy deepens yet further since, apart from the large number of election people (none of whom has subsequently come forward) needed physically to supplement the PVs by a whopping 77% and to instigate and coordinate this fraud on a massive scale, it seems that the nasty unionist BBC is also in on this conspiracy up to the armpits by way of covering up this fraud through deliberately not having an exit poll. Now I do realise that your average Nat tends not to be the brightest of characters and that in any case a great many of them live in this magical fantasy world, especially when it comes to economics. But this latest series of paranoid ramblings quite simply transcends all else - including Grand Theft Auto!

  11. Motherwell winning on Sat was a big result, doubt many expected them to get points in their last few games other than against us, which we would have had in our control. There's so many possible combinations of results, its hard to know where we will end up. I do think 2 wins from the next 3 and if we miss Top 6, we should be clear of any relegation threat even in the bottom 6. The unpredictability of the league, equal quality teams, inconsistency, surprise results, thank god this Armageddon period will end next season and we can get back to boring predictability!!!!

  12. Unfortunately I didn't make the game, but after watching the highlights, while we played well, a defensive mistake gave Irvine a great chance but we got lucky and he missed, had he scored would it have been the same old ICT chase the game. We do better when teams come at us and we can sit in and try hit on the break, this is why taking the lead is so important, when we go behind or have to break teams down we lack that creativity or quality. Great result and demonstration of commitment to get us back on winning ways, now to press on and pick up 6 points from the games against Motherwell & DUtd, maybe even a result against Hearts. Still not convinced by Yogi's tactics and line ups recently but vindicated in this case by the result that on Sat he got it right or it worked.

  13. Top 6 is still a possibility. There are still many combinations of results which could do it for us. I've left St Johnstone out because I think they will win at least one of their two remaining games, giving them 46 points. Our best is 45 by winning all 3 games. Partick could get to 46 by winning all 3 of their remaining games, but that would mean Ross Co only getting to 43 max. Dundee could get to 46 but that is unlikely, as they have to play Celtic and Ross Co. Even if they won those two, then Ross Co could only get to 43 max. Ross Co could get to 46 by winning their last two games, but then Dundee and Partick could only get to 43 max Motherwell could get to 47 but surely will not get beyond 41 as they play us and Celtic. If we were to beat 'Well and Dundee Utd but only draw with Hearts, that would put us on 43 as well.Then it would be down to goal difference between up to 4 teams, which could be very tight indeed So, by my maths, 45 will definitely do it for us, 43 we'd still have a shout, any fewer than 43 we'll probably miss out. All still to play for then. We have to play like we did against Count for another 3 games. Come on lads, you can do it. Onwards and Upwards!

  14. Superb win with I think the best 90 mins performance all season. Every player played their part and in particular Storey, Draper and Warren has excellent games. Devine was also had a solid performance and made no mistakes - well done. A special mention to the fans who came out in force and gave the team tremendous backing.

  15. Best league away day ever. Only Hampden last season comes close. Great win on County's party day on their patch. Stunning 3rd goal made everyone relax and start our own party. Every player played their part. Only disappointment being that we kind of coasted the last 30 mins when we could have got more. Brilliant away atmosphere with lots of loud, enthusiastic, witty singing relentlessly taking the mickey out of County. Hope some of it finds its way onto youtube. Wish we played like that every/most weeks.

  16. "Rabble" is an interesting choice of word, Charles. Given the SNP's focused and organised electoral achievements over the past decade, you can only be using this word as an expression of your contempt for the working people who now form the bedrock of their support. The use of such language implies nostalgia for a time when the lower orders routinely voted for ennobled aristocrats in the misguided belief that their betters knew better. Things are moving on, Charles, but they do seem to be moving rather more quickly than usual. Trump, Le Pen, Corbyn, SYRIZA, Podemos and the SNP may come from wide range of the political spectrum, but they all find their base in the working-class, or "rabble" as you call them. The working-class has been successfully subdued by easy access to property and cheap consumer goods for the past 35 years while social security, workers rights and the welfare state have been steadily (and stealthily) eroded. Now that property has been removed from that equation for many, the scales are looking a bit less steady - an increasing number of people have realised that they don't have anything to lose from upsetting the political apple-cart. Property? Pensions? Job Security? Those are the things that keep people in line, but if you don't have those things, then there is no risk attached to demanding significant change from the political system.

  18. Any player that has signed since yogi started is his signing, it doesn't matter who found the player really. He's the manager and gets the final say on the players surely. I'd like to keep both keepers actually, a bit of competition for places would be great for the team next season. Esson would be a good back up but would he ever be brought back into the team if there was a dip in form of our no.1? Probably not and most likely would only start if our regular was out injured. That isn't going to keep anyone on their toes. Keep Brill and OFW and have Esson as our goalkeeping coach.

  19. Great result only spoiled by the behaviour of some so called fans who thought it was a good idea to verbally abuse women and children in the street before the game .

  20. So does that mean you have to crawl to and from your seat then? This is actually a serious observation since there is bound to be a grey area as to what constitutes necessary standing and some jobsworth steward desperate to assert his authority. Reading this thread is simply reinforcing the questions I already have as to how much tolerance football fans in general are going to be willing to maintain of a situation where they are paying serious money to watch football, simply to find their freedom of action severely constrained both inside and outside the ground - including the risk of being arrested under legislation which applies solely to football fans.

  21. Stan's aphorisms in defence of the grievance dogma would do credit to theThoughts Of Chairman Mao. And I wonder when his train is due to arrive at the Finland Station? However I don't think he's going to convince the large number of people who no longer live in council schemes, wearing hand-me-downs and their parents only able to get to work on a bike. And after all this progress has been made, you find Sturgeon and Salmond asking us to pee it all against the wall by voting yes.

  22. Power to the peepullll Wolfie Smith/ Comrade Stan! New black beret for the next Caledonian Socialist Workers' Congress, maybe? Your problem is that in a democracy, as opposed to the former Soviet Union etc, if the loony lefties get into power all the cash and money-making expertise will clear off elsewhere. So in the event of the nightmare scenario of a Scottish Yesserendum, in addition to the oil going t!tsup and possibly having a half arsed EU newcomer attached to a competitive and much larger non-EU sterling economy, you will also find that many of the NO voting benefit subsidisers will go elsewhere, leaving the yes voting benefit dependers to whistle for their public subsidies.

    • Relegation Statement
      RELEGATION STATEMENT: This could have been said ten minutes after our defeat to Hamilton three days ago. So far, this is not the news that we on Caley Thistle Online wanted to hear. Pleased that we will still function as a club, disappointed that resignations have not been offered yet. Keeping fans waiting in silence for three days is unforgivable and relationships are drifting further apart than ever before. Silence is not the way forward, we deserve better as fans.

    • Inverness CT 2-3 (3-5) Hamilton - Play off final (relegation)
      RELEGATED: Despite Inverness needing to get off the mark quickly, it was Accies that killed the tie inside the first fifteen minutes with strikes from Kevin O'Hara and Lewis Smith. Cammy Kerr reduced the leeway with a good strike from distance, but O'Hara struck again with a penalty before the break to diffuse the revival. We struggled to create anything of note and this reporter could not stomach any more and left the stadium. I'm told Alex Samuel pulled a goal back in stoppage time, but like the rest of the season it was too little too late.

    • Hamilton 2-1 Inverness CT - Play off final 1st Leg
      A better showing from Inverness in the second half, especially with Lawal and Pepple on the park but it's Hamilton that take a one goal advantage up the A9 on Saturday. Lawal has been the standout performer in our last few games and surely he must start on Saturday. Pepple also did well, scored the goal, had an effort saved and got in a few balls across the box from tight positions.

      Still, a shocker of a first half and we must be up for it from the start on Saturday.

    • Inverness CT (1-2) Hamilton - Play off Final 2nd Leg - Preview
      The hurt, the pain, the reluctance and pig-headedness to listen to the fans asking what is going on, the lack of communication, the lack of ambition, the stench of mismanagement, the concert company, the battery farm, the demise since winning the Scottish Cup in 2015, the lack of passion, the lack of commitment, the dwindling fanbase, the lack of leadership. It has left the fans comfortably numb

    • Hamilton -V- Inverness CT - Play off Final 1st Leg - Preview
      However all is not well and we just kept our heads above water thanks to Arbroath being rubbish. Onto the play offs and an insipid performance at Links Park left us all wondering if our time has come to drop into oblivion. Our performance certainly would not look out of place in the lower leagues. We clung on for a 0-0 draw away from home and scraped a 1-0 win at Inverness with Billy Mckay saving our blushes. Everything about the club has negative undertones at the moment.
