The Mantis

Aye Dick yer spot on. Next:

Remember Sumo McNulty now at Tranmere, going to see them on Friday probably

You're not thinking Alex The 3-1 was a Saturday in March. This was in November darkness... Here's the winner that day: ...and at full time we were top of the league:

Looking forward to visiting the Costa del Buck. Mrs Mantis is treating me to an overnight stay as it's my birthday tomorrow. Last time I was up that way you may remember I got my windscreen wipers vandalised staying in Keith and just arrived at Hurlaw Park (see what I did there?) in time for the kick off.

Yes. No.

Where's Granty?

One Scotty Davies

Nah Stark's Bar was just 50 yards down the road and did double malt of the month for about £2.50. It's shut now though. When we went up to div 1 in 1999 it took 8 attempts to get a first win against the Rovers, they used to tear us apart at times, a real bogey team. I don't think they've beaten us since. These are from 10th November 2001 and the first shot shows Barry Robson chipping the goalie to make it 5-1 after Nacho Novo gave Rovers the lead from the spot, and Mann (pen), Christie, Ritchie and Tokely scored for ICT. The second shot just shows how, under Steve Paterson, even the sunsets were better.

OK, same day (not 2005!):

A good report but sadly devoid of any vomiting.

I thought he must have signed as they read his name out with the team.

I'm at this game. Last minute decision. Calum latched onto the ball after Steven McManus misjudged the bounce and fed no 10 who finished well. Calum has done ok but feeding off scraps. Well must have about 80% possession. Seems to have been subbed at ht.

Right it's still close season for me. My first game will be Buckie (actually it'll probably be Tranmere v Liverpool on Friday as I've got a mate who's daft enough to drive). So: what's happening here?

Thank heavens Alex. I was just about to give folk a clue. Either that or I've bored everybody into submission

They certainly snuffed out CR7 - he was invisible all night

And here's another easy one. Most people will remember this day:

That's right mun. April 2005. Especially for Johndo here's on from the North Stand that day.

Haha I wondered who'd be first to say that.

OK you probably know the opposition and the approximate date. You may even see yourself and a few buddies...

Is that Tintin or is it Poirot

Correct. Wyness has already put ICT 3 up when Ritchie's drive comes fizzing towards my 3 megapixel Olympus bridge camera and it's not even half time yet. Were you there or were those the days of Football First with charisma-laden presenters whose names I've forgotten, plus that nasal commentator, plus, eh, Andy Walker.

A team we regularly trounced. An incredible goal in a game notable for incredible scoring feats.
