Wasn't there the idea - back in the early days of the club - of using Clach for that?

Well if there is, it's not on their website...

Two goals according to the Beeb.

I've lost track a bit, but I think we could field an entire team of goalkeepers.

He's full of Bols, He's big and blue, Our lucky* charm, Our boy named Sue. *I'm assuming that Felitciano means "lucky".

Maybe so, but they clearly don't have a full squad.

Thanks, Dill5, that would fit. I'd checked the Jags Honours Board, but had missed that. Would be good to see another one, to confirm. And welcome to the forum!

1955. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954–55_Scottish_Cup#Fifth_round Result was 1-1. Caley won the replay 2-4, and then got tanked 0-7 by Falkirk. Accepting advertising from the competition - "George B Rodgers ex Chelsea FC" I suppose his money was as good as anyone else's

Well here's one for you, CB, which may be of more consequence. My grandfather played for Citadel, and I think this is the only honour that he won with them - Inverness Charity Cup 1923-24.

I had thought of that, but would have expected an appropriate image on the front - not a footballer. And would have expected it to say "Inverness Thistle Social Club", not "F.C".

Can anyone tell me what this medal is? I picked it up for next-to-nothing on eBay a few years ago. It is sterling silver, so not a giveaway, but it's clearly not for a major competition. The hallmark is from 1975, which fits in well with the short shorts on the footballer. It's 2.5cm in diameter, so the photos are larger than life. Maybe a youth tournament or something like that?

Maybe if he selected Mulraney he'd be able to do that. Or are today's team listings wrong?

Buckie in the bottle - Buckie Thistle strip!

I think it could well be back on the table in a couple of years time, once the shape of the Brexit deal is clearer. Although it might also depend on how many more general elections we have had by then. Here in England, people were compaining about 2 GEs and the EU referendum in successive years. Scotland has also had the indyref and the Holyrood election, so you must all be sick fed up of campaigning politicians. I feel that election fatigue must have played a large part in apparently reducing the appetite for indyref2.

Many more years ago Aberdeen 'A' twice won the Highland League

Far too early for thinking about the foreword. We haven't even worked out the basic plot or the characters

...and why didn't he have a travel insurance policy which would refund him if he cancelled because of suddenly becoming chairman of a football club?

We would be an interesting challenge for him. Could he get us promoted at the first time of asking? And could we get him to invest some money in the club? Dream on...

And John Barnes has 79

Must be why Wenger is saying that his future will be clear by Thursday.

I watched it again recently, and I still got really tense and nervous during the second half! The shop still has 443 copies of the DVDs, at a fiver each

Thanks, Eye Settee. I thought he was Canadian, and was confused by the official news release saying that he was born in Inverness. But could well be correct, of course. He also had a white flash in his dark hair in the post Ziggy Stardust days. Played in the school basketball team alongside our very own IHE, IIRC.

When I was in the Academy (1968-74) there was a Graham Rae in my year. (And also a Johndo MacKenzie.) We were a few years behind Charles B. Is this the same Graham Rae? Just curiosity - haven't seen him since I left school 43 years ago. CB - do you know?

The restore seems to have taken us back a couple of months. That means we still have a chance of avoiding relegation

As the punchline to the old Dubya joke goes: "Mr President, I believe it's pronounced "keesh"". You can find anything in a quiche
