He did that gramophone gag the last time I was there! 2006 Pre-season friendly at Grant Street, 6 - 0 to ICT and best entertainment was the announcer. Think Charles Bannermann said it was Billy Nelson. Was it him this time around What was the gramophone gag? Unless there has been a chage this season, it would indeed have been Billy Nelson. I was away on holiday so missed this game but I'm glad to hear that Billy is in his usual fine form. Did he play his recording of his own composition "Westering Home To The Ferry"? (Message to the uninitiated - I kid you not!) By the way, is response to a question earlier in this thread, to my knowledge ICT's biggest ever score in any game is 12-0 against a local side in Montecatini during the Italian trip of 2006. I was at that game which broke two other ICT records - the smallest ever crowd which, excluding an Inverness press corps of about five, nembered something like eleven at the start of the game. (In the best traditions of the Clach Park it doubled during the match. My other recollection of that game was that there was so little crowd noise that the main thing you could hear was all these Italians driving about on their scooters outside the ground in their usual mental fashion.) We also saw the fastest ever ICT goal that night which I think was something like 19 seconds and from Rory MacAllister. And Gringo... you are quite right - the 15-0 against Golspie Sutherland was indeed in the HL days by Caledonian FC in the first round of the North Cup in January 1994. I was there as well, but only stayed until half time because I remember I had to go up to Kingsmills to see the second half of what, in the final season of Thistle and Caley, was the bit of history of Clach's very last derby visit there. ICT's biggest score in a competitive match was 8-1 against Annan Athletic at home in the Cup in about 1998. And Annan scored first! he certainly did, as well as a rather bizarre 'no bad yersel' and 'right enuff' song

the whole saga has proved to be a very costly mistake, hope all concerned learn from mistakes made

i think hes been at Fulham going by this comment i found: not much else mentioned about him on the link, which is here

article here

do you know what night? keen to see it Tues Night at 10 p.m. Nice one, cheers

Aberdeen took in 6 trialists today but Mackay-Steven was not one of them. i hope we offer him a deal before he moves on, definite potential there

do you know what night? keen to see it

providing he can stay clear of injury i think he could be a useful addition to the squad, good signing were still a couple of defenders short IMO

horror show today, easily done when you have the weather to contend with. Gusts of 15-25mph forecast for tomorrow and sunday so thats not gonna help anybody

I would imagine so, would have thought the the SFA have a lot of coaches employed for community/youth/development that dont get a lot of media recognition. Cant find anything about him on the SFA website either

I couldn't find much about him either, it appears he was at the SFA for 8 years, not sure doing what though

has been revealed as Steve Marsella Its a side note to a good article about Tuffey and how he turned down lucrative offers to come to us. Fair play to the lad article here

that first video is crazy

First half was good with some neat finishing and a bizarre offside call where Dani Sanchez went on a good run and finished by popping it in the botttom corner, how the linesman flaged for offside i'll never know Was surprised and impressed by the appearance of the lad Mackay-Stevens, looked pacy, keen to beat his man, could spot a pass and scored a nice goal. The other trialists looked steady enough but as mentioned previously was hard to rate them against highland league opposition.

sensational start by Rory, i think the weather is going to have a big say this weekend, cant see the low scoring being repeated over the next few days

butcher

BOB

Great news, fantastic achievement

Yeah he's 21, but as you say with Cox and potentially Blumstein in the matchday squad that leaves one slot available for a youngster. I agree that it shouldnt really be a major issue. Also I would expect Butcher to take in younger defenders looking at the age of our current backline

Heard from someone that the Clach friendly last weekend was ?6 for an adult

6ft 1, according to wikipedia, same as Esson

Offical confirmation of the deal now on the official site, here

From the P&J:

Reportedly told he's not wanted there, and having a trial with a South African team. By the sounds of it he's back from the trial and on the look out for a new club agreed!!
