The Mantis

Aye we're all feckin delighted for you! We'll be even more delighted when you pop your cherry next week :021:

Oh I'm well aware that I'm exactly the type of parochial, narrow-minded, backward looking Scot he despises :015: :015: :015: :015:

As somebody who pissed himself laughing at things like The Crucifixion about 1975, then Riotous Assembly, Cop Yer Whack and so on, and saw him live about 1980, I think Billy Connolly has long sold out, become a luvvie and disappeared up his own ersehole. No 1 son likes him though, last time I checked....

I think as a guy he would get on my tits. Seeing the extra bits on the DVDs makes him look a real puerile tawt. If you see him wrapping this guy up on 2 separate discs it is emarrassing and should have been left off. But his work is quality. The Office and Extras are absolutely brilliant.

Aye, forgot Dargo did it against Hibs :010:

I agree that Dennis does not get enough goals in the SPL. But Dennis' purple patch was not 'the other year', but was only last winter. Just as ICT were looking like a well-oiled machine and cert for top six, Denzil did his shoulder in the first minute against Celtic (Rory's only ever good game remember) and Dargo did his shortly afterwards. Instead of looking at how many goals Wyness scored, look at his value as a link man. As I remember it, CC wasn't picking Wyness towards the end of 2006. Then we had an appalling 3-1 defeat away at Tannadice. Next week Dennis was back and we lost 3-4 at home to Killie with everybody saying how well we played. Following that, how about this for championship form: 23.12.06 Dunfermline ICT 0-0 Wyness started 27.12.2006 Inverness CT Rangers 2 - 1 Wyness started 30.12.2006 Falkirk Inverness CT 3 - 1 Wyness started but the whole team was gash after beating Rangers 01.01.2007 Inverness CT St. Mirren 2 - 1 Wyness scored 06.01.2007 Stirling Albion Inverness CT 1 - 6 Wyness scored 13.01.2007 Aberdeen Inverness CT 1 - 1 Wyness started 21.01.2007 Inverness CT Hibernian 3 - 0 Wyness started 28.01.2007 Inverness CT Celtic 1 - 2 Wyness injured in first minute & substituted. Wyness out for rest of season. ICT win only 3 more league matches ALL SEASON.

Well mine arrived today and even Mrs Mantis likes it (including names). Mind you, don't know about anybody else, but I nearly ripped mine getting it over my head when I took it off. That's XL.

I think that's unfair. I'm sure the stag was a 12 pointer. And even Nessie can get off the bottom sometimes.

Save them up and you can make them into a handy purse- that turns into a suitcase when you stroke it.

Nuturing is the new boonigging

This is the link straight to the picture http://www.caledonianfc.co.uk/Team%20Photos/7677.jpg and the link below, that DJS tried to post, gets you the whole page with the photo and the players' names http://www.caledonianfc.co.uk/Team%20Photos/7677.html You can't see the photo on this page as some of us are having a problem getting links to work.

Remember Broonie was a very experienced keeper at Rangers and Well before he came to us. I've no doubt Mikey will be a top-class keeper but when Broonie left I said that CC was making a mistake in picking him every week at that age (mind you we were probably screwed by the transfer window). One advantage with young players like Mikey is they're not yet old enough to realise what pressure is...

Maybe it's black till we get off the bottom.

Sound. From experience newspaper cuttings are not much cop for scanning, unless there's an interesting photo, but real photos, tickets etc are welcome any time.

Aye, his games in div 1 you mean!

[quote author=Alex MacLeod link=topic=4819.msg75044#msg75044 date=1189958086] Effectively Fort William coud play in europe under present system. Aye right Alex. They'll have to persuade Spartans to turn up with 9 men first :016:

I'd imagine loads of people will turn up just to say 'I was there' :023:

"Having to go to Tescos is enough to make me greet right enuff" Beat me to it there beachcomber :015: :015: :015: :015:

Never mind spelling- what about cliches. I mean, at the end of the day, it only gets dark, basically. Hopefully people will stop saying 'hopefully' too, basically. What about football managers/players who say 'we equipped ourselves well' because they once heard a brainy manager saying 'we acquitted ourselves well' and they want to copy him, basically. 'They set their stall out' - pure pish, basically. 'On the front foot' - more pish probably caused by somebody using it instead of 'on the back foot' for a joke, basically. 'Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory' - again, somebody once used this as a joke and thousands of dullards just repeat it without knowing what the **** they're talking about, basically. And what about Big Brother. What's the point of using a literary reference like that for a TV show title when 98% of its viewers probably think its about incest, basically

I'd take Elgin 6 times in the league anyday instead of the fixtures we've had.

I can confirm from my booklet that you're pretty spot on CaleyD. The stand was on the shore (SW) side, and the slaughterhouse would be just a few yards from the SE corner flag. The club spent their last few years in debt and their final season was in the 36-7 season in the North 2nd II league ( they last played in the HL in 34-5) when they went out with a flourish and beat Caley and Thistle on the way to winning the Inverness Charity Cup. After they disbanded there was talk of reforming the club, but the war came along, and after 1945 people had forgotten all about them. The booklet I have is about 28 pages, by George Campbell (b 1931) and printed and presumably published in Canada by Touchline Publications in 1990. At this time, Mr Campbell was living in Brantford, Ontario, and was involved in 'soccer' there.

Just wear it back to front. Or get the name and number down at your erse. :021:

Just noticed Gringers' one too :001:

Never met the two Jags fanzine guys calling themselves 'young' and 'gifted' and wonder what happened to them. I remember old auntie Laurna in Culduthel Road getting hold of the issues for me (she saved all sorts of Highland football stuff for my visits to Sneck before the internet came along). She knew their mum and called them 'franzines' :015:

As I understand it, you're accusing CaleyD of wearing a truss?
