  1. Yeah, obviously mum could only afford one suit and Deek had to get the anorak. And his brother got out to play in the sun.
  2. Ryan's always been the Penalty King for me but Toni is the future.
  3. Bruce McCraw (not McGraw) scored 2 on his debut against Arbroath in October of the club's first season. He put Caley Thistle ahead in 25 mins and then Arbroath pummelled us for virtually the rest of the game which was played in a thick mist. They equalised in the second half and we feared the worst. Eventually the rain came on and killed off the mist, and in 92 mins, in a rare CT breakaway, McCraw was put through and scored the winner at the Codona end to the joy of the dozen or so CT fans gathered behind the goals. Bruce never scored for Caley Thistle again...... he had a handful of games that season but then moved on (where?). He had a couple of seasons at Clach. Sergei's team that day (and as usual he used none of the subs): Mark McRitchie Dave Brennan Mike Andrew (Chunky) Sergei Baltacha Mark McAllister John Scott Graeme Bennett (Grassa) Martin Lisle (Zico) Norman Macmillan (Spineless Norman) Colin Mitchell (Coco) Bruce McCraw subs: Jim Calder David Buchanan Steven MacDonald (Biscuits)
  4. As Julie Andrews might sing "these are a few of my favourite things"
  5. I'm sure buffy can rely on you contacting her to deposit a large wad ;-)
  6. I think English international football has as many problems as we do. The problems are just disguised by the sheer size of the population. The poor displays in Euro 2012 were so predictable.
  7. Cheers. Anybody up for this?
  8. Where did you get this from Alex? Is it a league game? I thought they played at Riccarton but the website says Newtongrange except for cup ties.
  9. Well done you young chappies
  10. Have we got an Adams quote post match?
  11. In the North stand, the chants were courtesy of the ICT Ultras. Sounded good on telly
  12. We had a piper back in the day.....
  13. I was watching on Alba and I imagined the drumming was coming from the Cownty end? Also I was asking on another thread, there was a long chant with loads of oh-oh-ohs in it for about 10 mins before Cownty scored, and something similar in the second half, so what end was that?
  14. Maybe they could splash some of the win bonus on Rossco
  15. seethe is definitely better .... fumes is like anger and goes away quickly ... whilst in this case the seethe is a slow burning permanent condition and feeling of inferiority when placed nearby to anything Caley Thistle related. You can even add extra 'e' s to make it longer seeeeeeeethe See how quickly you can find the 'S' word here
  16. All you visitors are just making the sleepy wee forum look busy;-) Not been on for months but the ratio of views to posts gives it away.....
  17. I make that 7 undefeated now? Haven't lost to the wee team since 7/11/09. So next derby we need to sing Hello, Hello Eight in a Row Information for younger members (other perverts are available ) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szKdSkc9E2Y
  18. How did they react to the G word?
  19. Yeah they haven't really dealt with the FoI within the scope of the request but they have provided what was asked for so there is no real reason for the enquirer to be concerned. Watch this space I've just sent one in! In the interests of fairness I did one for both ICT and Ross County. I deal with FoIs at work quite a bit so it's a change for someone else to have to deal with it! I can't really be bothered much with p&b or otb these days but the slagging of our support continues unabated. I hope you manage to confirm that Cownty are telling porkies. In the meantime you might want to remind them that this is our 8th season in the SPL. Even in their first SPL season with the novelty value their crowds are already significantly lower than we were getting in 2005 when we came home to TCS.
  20. Watched it on Alba, never made it up the road yesterday. Who was doing that chant that went on for about 10 mins before C(o)unty scored? At first I thought it was coming from the away end but I gradually decided it must be us. Also how many did C(o)unty bring? 1800 odds but I didn't catch it. Thought it was a decent attendance on a foul day.
  21. You can understand that, mind you. The poster probably never had pubes the last time they won there.......
  22. BBC says 'Adams fumes at penalty'. Seethes or fumes? Which word is best Terry's a gent. OK we won, but still a gent.
  23. Obviously couldn't just shake TB's hand and leave it at that, wonder what the wee seethe said before he ran down the tunnel.
  24. Watched it back umpteen times on Alba. Kova possibly gets 5% ball, 95% Taylor's ankle, but he doesn't alter the course of the ball. That's a pen in most games though isn't it? Contrast with the Meekings challenge in the first derby when he gets 100% ball but a foul is given for 'follow through'.
  25. Nae me anyway, I'm in Magdeburg, fecking gutted at missing the game Are we not now safely in top six slot after Hibs being beaten last night? I think we are Mike but Statto will be along in a minute to correct me As I just said on the other thread: Incredibly we are still not quite over the line, yet. If all remaining results went against us, we could be level on points with 2 other teams with 5th, 6th and 7th then determined by goal difference - which would almost certainly be in our favour anyway. If Dundee Utd fail to win tomorrow we'll be officially top 6. Aye I forgot they had played a game less. D'oh!
