Found this page on my wanders........Sod going to watch The Hammers when they move to their new home! Judging by the pics, nobody is going to be able to make out much action West Hams new ground

Id go as for to say...that over the entire history of ICT....Roy was one of me alltime faves. A bit one footed....but effort etc was always 100%. Consumate professional he is! If we can unearth another player with Roys attributes...we will be onto a winner! I will tell a lil tale...i might have told it before....i was once on a u2 chat site....and there was peeps from all over the world there. Anyhoo...got chatting to a guy....turns out he was living in aberdeen...and the chat went on....cut a long story short...it turns out...it was one of Roys pals

Yup....he should coast it in the Second Div

IMHO....Roy was a terrific player and servant to the club. I think we have seen the last of him in ICT colours. Best of luck with the Future Roy

I remember them days....hell...i even remember Scottish Firebrigade vs English Firebrigade used to attract a decent crowd!

Up here...only three teams i hate are Rangers....apart from all their sectarian *****...they are mind numbingly dull to watch. Then theres aberdeen, whos fans seem to think they should be still winning things, coz they had 4-5 good yrs near 30 yrs ago. And the tinks up the road, who should never have got into the SFL in the first place. They only got in coz they had a good couple of years, and mostly the fact Elgin Had been done for cheating. Down Souf.....i hate Chelsea....who seem to think they are a "big club" but they were pretty much nobodys till Abramovich came along. And Liverpool....i really dont like em

Nothing bad about it....its flinking hilarious!

While we appreciate your input Kingsmills we have already came to the unanimous conclusion( well apart from Alex) that Thistle would probably have been no more unfortunately had Caledonian FC gone alone I find the poll results very interesting reading and I thinks it safe to say that there are a lot more refuseniks out there than the average ICT fan likes to admit Anyway I've done a bit more research into the merger over the last couple days and I've unearthed some very interesting points which maybe explain why there were refuseniks and why they still exist today I find it staggering that both teams fans who were not season ticket holders were not polled regarding a proposed merger, surely this could have been done quite easily by handing out a small questionaire to all home fans as they came through the turnstiles Why was it allegedly suggested to both memberships at the first vote that the Scottish league preferred a merged team and that a league place was guaranteed when this was definitely not the case at all? Why did they allegedly not accept proxi votes from members that lived outside Inverness and could not attend in person? They also allegedly failed to to inform the memberships that had the first vote gone against merging there would have been a second vote for a solo bid therefore misguiding them into believing that they were voting on a take it or leave it scenario? IMHO mergergate didn't appear to have been handled very well by both previous clubs committees and as a result the refuseniks on both sides of the divide were born Maybe Mr Mantis or Old Caley girl can confirm whether my findings were valid or not dougal I cant remember exactly what it was tht us non season ticket holders were polled on...but i deffo remember getting handed and filling out a questionaire regarding the merger at caley park

I know where your coming from....i too would have stuck with Caley in the Highland League had Thistle gone it alone. In fact...i may face ridicule here..but...id rather have stuck with Caley in the Highland League than ICT in the Scottish League. I just dont have anywhere near the same love for the merged team. Still....its what we got...so...i will support them

Id say winning the Scottish Cup is a more illustrious achievment the winning the League Cup.....so i wouldnt bet on it.

I really doubt that. All the new fans who supported the merged team would have probably supported any league team in Inverness. So I think the crowds would be similar to what they are now. I agree Joe.....FACT....in the 50s and 60s, Caley were regularily playing to crowds as big...if not bigger than what they average now, when they were in the Highland League. Dont belive me....go get yourself a copy of Rod Clynes book, In A Different League....its all in there. I see no evidence to suggest that Caley on their own would have been less of a draw than ICT....if anything...i think they could have had a bigger, more loyal fanbase!

I was always under the impression that a very elaborate drainage system had been installed in the pitch many moons ago. It only seems to ever be a problem for all the prima donnas in the SPL, in the lower leagues...games went ahead in worse weather than this

Totally disagree with you. Tell me Charles, why would a Caledonian Fc in the SPL be any less a draw to punters and businesses than ICT Fc?

Ditto

Starting with 10 players i see....and Odihambo

Pretty much how i remember him too

Runrig suck......why do so many people think we have to add to the Teuchter sterotype already attached to us, by playing crap like Runrig and Highland Cathedral? We need proper music, that gets the crowd going...not send them to sleep

Its hilarious tho...long may their shambolic demise continue

3-3...FFS!

PHEW....3-2 to us...Rooney

Doran...2-2

Un-fookin-believable! :annoyed: :annoyed:

1-0...ROONEY

Its 11 yrs to the day today....if i remember correctly....the game was played on a Tuesday

That will be me then First concert of the summer!
