The Mantis

Hearing stories about Queens fielding an ineligible player… sounds like we were outclassed though.

We heard a rumour that there was a particular beer in the Exchequer that acted as a hair restorer. However, despite extensive research, we were unable to find it.

Maybe everybody's at the game, there's no signal in Fife anyway 😉 But yes, we were bad and Billy got a soft goal to maintain the 99 year unbeaten record.

Half price train tickets atm, gerrintaethum!

#61 was very comprehensive, saw me through a car journey yesterday and the train today 👏 p.s. the site doesn’t seem to be displaying emojis for me atm, just a blank square, so [applause] [applause /]

They couldn’t cope with Dan MacKay or Samuels in the other cup, and had to kick seven shades of shyte out of Allardice, but I’d imagine we’ll be up against it this time. Bring it on though (Queens permitting).

“Ex ICT players miss” thread 😂

Tuesday 31st, 1945 ko.

I missed the first half hour because of some guys playing darts instead of getting their jaikets on and their erses into the charabanc. This isn’t happening, is it?

Haha, get with the program, everything I have is digital these days… actually I discovered this by a sheer fluke on an old post on P&B last week and saved it in case it came in handy. This morning I got a notification on my phone that I was at Hamilton v ICT 14 years ago so I raked it out 😉

14 years to the day

Bill McAllister did the Highland League roundup on BBC Radio Scotland back in the day before ICT was formed, and he ran a magazine called “Highland Football and Sport”. He’s also the dad of ex-Caley Mark McAllister (edit- and Caley Thistle in 94-95). He must be getting on a bit but should have a wealth of stories.

We had that too when I was at school, but it was cheesy peeps.

Forgot about this. Cuffed 5-1.

When I saw Duffy bounce off the big no 24 Adarkwa in the first minute I thought we were in for a long afternoon, but he was absolutely hopeless.

As Max Boyce used to say… 😎

A 4-1 Christie-inspired win in 96-7 which put us top at 4.45 and I think we stayed there. Did we not take seven off them once in the League Cup? Henderson is a pler. Still need Allardice back. Hope Daniel’s not missing another spell. A rather needless early booking for Devine. Very encouraging second half for us, much improved from the first. A bit meh being stuck behind the goals. Support was great today, as were the steak & black pudding pies. Lewis Nicolson ❤️💙 As @ymip remarked, a fair few Sneckie lads on the pitch at the end of that game.

Happy clappy, sentimental bollocks. If you're not angry at how your club has been mismanaged since 2017, there's something wrong with you. Merry Xmas.

You must be new here…

That lineup gives me the shakes

Away to Glasgow Women who were beaten 0-10 at home to rangers last week if it's of any relevance.

Great stuff, did a spying job on possible next round opponents as Bonnyrigg beat QoS 3-1 👍

No fault of Moff and the guys, but Gardiner used the last podcast as 90 mins of free advertising. What a great guy. Judging by his prickly reaction to one small criticism it’s not hard to see him pulling the plug if the guys give him a hard time.

Is Welsh injured again? It’s a big ask for Lewis Hyde starting him in CM against any team, never mind Dundeh. Mibbe even better with Boyd in there. Who got injured today then?
