Will the East stand (you know where I mean) be available to our supporters or is it all reserved for Liddypool fans?

I will sponsor you IHE and will see you in the Innes - PROVIDING I get a reply to my PM of a couple of weeks ago.

Alex, I see you think that season ticket holders should NOT have priority on tickets because it's a testimonial. Well, season ticket holders, along with other regular supporters, such as share holders, staff, supporters club members, trust mambers, etc should ALWAYS have priority over those part-timers who only come to watch the 'so called big teams' etc. And, fyi, I don't include you and your good lady in that.

Quote from Alex - "If I was to give notice that I was leaving my employer I'd still be expected to work all the days I was being paid for. " I thought you worked offshore Alex. As far as I remember, if you put in your notice offshore, you're on the next chopper to the beach! ormaybe things have changed in the last 12 years?

If the team plays badly, it isn't always down to the Manager & coach. If the team plays well, it isn't always down to the manager and coach. If the players perform badly because they are dissatisfied with their contractual situation, that is definitely down to the players and probably also down to the management. However....... If the team selection is crap that is down to the manager. If the team tactics are wrong, that is down to the manager. If the substitutes are made too late in the game and the players coming on are unable to alter the game, that again is down to the manager. If there is a loss of control in the dressing room that is also down to the manager and coach. If the players display an open contempt of the management, that is again down to the manager and coach. I would say, on the basis of the above, It's time he and the poacher went!

We had a new home shirt this season - same design but with 'Flybe' instead of 'Onetouch'. :015: :015: :015:

I can remember the Saturday morning matinee in La Scala wi' a penny bag of broken biscuits from Burnetts across the road. Enough for the three of us usually. Also remember when Clach were a half decent team. What about Rodgers shop in Grant street and Fallons snooker hall downstairs in the High Street, toname but 2 places we wren'tsupposed to go in. Going to the baths used to be a great way to spend a morning. Looking back to the first post, this was mostly in the days before TV never mind Sky!

Just watched the "highlights" of the Hibs game and, while I know you can't judge from a few minutes play, it was Duncan who lost the ball in midfield on both occasions when they scored. He didn't even bother to chase back for the first one - left that to Marius. If he's so determined to get away, I say we should bench him for the rest of the season and bring in one of our younger players who does want to play for us. Why should we continue to showcase his talent (or lack) if we won't benefit from his leaving under Bosman.

well said Scotty. I was at the game tonight and can honestly say I haven't seen us play so badly all season. There wasn't a player on the pitch who might have been considered worth his salt tonight. Only about 200 brave souls from the north - all extremely disappointed. Firstly puzzled by the team selection - who wasn't eh? secondly puzzled by the tactics - long punt to Bayne every time - about 5% success rate! Thirdly, really disappointed by the performance :32: :33:. Defence was awful, including Fraser. Midfield didn't gel at all. Up front, if Bayne headed right, Wyness went left and vice versa. Slight pick up in the second half but too late. As usual, subs too late! Saw Grasser in Perth filling station later and he said, "long way to go on a night like this for that......."! He didn't finish the sentence. URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ps Should say that Well played the ball on the ground most of the game and didn't seem to have a problem with the pitch. Also, many thanks to the Well Social Club for warm welcome before the game and to the police for their good natured and polite responses to our queries about where to park etc

While I agree with Don about the economics of the situation, it doesn't make it any easier to bear. That Hibs can sell a less than average SPL defender for 1.5 million and then buy from us a better than average SPL midfielder for 110,000 it angers me. But we have to accept that in spite of our exalted position as a middle-of-table SPL team, when it comes to income and finance we are lower than the English 2nd (ie. 4th) division. If you consider that a team relegated from the Premiership gets a compensation package of over 20 million and we'd be lucky to gross that in 5 seasons, it sort of puts thing into perspective. We won't see any turn round in this situation until our younger supporters grow up and start bringing their kids to ICT instead of breeding OF or Aberdeen supporters. When we start to see average crowds of over 7500 we just won't have the financial clout. That bluddy Belgian Bosman has a lot to answer for.

Can anyone help us with the location of the Commercial Hotel and what happened to it. We think it was at the left end of old Bridge Street - about where the Shapla is now - before the cooncil fecked with our heritage. Any help at all would be much appreciated. The older we get the worse our memory, I think

Krist Rig. If I keep agreeing with you we might have to get married. :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07:

:019: :019: :019: :019: Boo-hoo. weeStie can't make it. In Soufampton for Festive season. Have a great time everyone. lol to L-G and Mee and esp Mrs Pauliebee xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I was one of those who objected to his return. after the last 4 results I may be forced to eat sh!t but not til the end of the season. We can't go on playing 4-5-1 all season.

John, Old inverness is available in North Kessock Spar shop for only ?10.49 or thereabouts. Still pretty rough though.

Yngwie, I remember this well. My brother Ron and I were working in Twickenham and were well known for our whisky capacity. It so happened that these two gentlemen were also Williamsons and as the news spread round work we had to take some stick! Don't remember all the details though but can vouch for the story. :021: us every lunchtime in the 'Cabbage Patch'

I hate to admit to agreeing with RIG or Clacher but both have expressed a lot of good sense. Rankin has to stay if we hope to play stylish football that might help us survive. I questioned Brewsters return at the time and i question it again. Some of his decisions are atrocious and he still doesn't know how to change a team mid game.

very disappointing turn-out from fans. Maybe the sweetie rustlers were all at remembrance day parades but where were the lads parents and families. BTW, it was effin freezin.

Just thought I'd pre-empt things and save the rest of you the trouble. We're dooomed Captain Bennett! We're doooomed! PS Hope he reads this and getsx the message.

I am tempted to return my season ticket and request a refund. I bought it in good faith that the club senior management would always consider the best way forward for the club and the fans. Appointing a management never-has-been like Brewster is NOT a step forward. Frankly, I'd rather go support County every week. Judging from the replies above there must be close on 80% of the forum totally against having him back.

Over the years I've supported a number of teams, mostly depending on where I lived but I am first and foremost a football supporter. I was taken to my first Clach game in 1949 - my godfather was an ardent Clach fan. A few years later I was converted to Caley who have been my number one team since. As a teenager in the fifties we were expected to have a senior team to support and I chose Motherwell 'cos I liked their style of play. they had a fantastic team in the late 50's and early 60's. When I lived in Edinburgh I supported Hibs. In the Jock Stein era and for many years after, Celtic were my 'big' team but I kept on supporting the teams near where I lived including, QPR, Chelsea, Stafford Rangers, Ajax, Feyenoord, Newcastle and Ipswich. However, since returning to Inverness about 7 years ago ICT have been my BIG team. This doesn't stop me from going to other games if I can't get to ours and on Saturday I went to Dingwall after the Huns game to support our local rrivals. Last year when we beat the Huns at Ibrox I was at Dingwall for hospitality and had the nerve to wear my ICT tie which gave me great pleasure as 4 of the other guys at our table were Rangers fans.

Have to disagree with a lot of what's been writen above. We weren't gash - but we weren't that good either. Compared with the opening games for the last few seasons we were actually quite good. Defensively we showed a lot of promise but Caff and Granty need to form a better understanding. I thought hastings had a very good second half and might even have got MOM. Midfield needed a bit more bite but we really missed the defensive midfield qualities of Russell Duncan (and I really have to bite my tongue when I say that). Up front we were just missing. Don't forget the quality of the opposition today. The huns have spent a lot of money on strengthening their squad and are streets ahead of the start to last season. Ferguson, in particular has improved no end. Lets give everyone a bit of time to develop as a team - except Rory! There's a long way to go!

I have never been a fan or Rory McAllister. He shows so much potential but at the same time so many faults. IMHO what he needs is six months training with the marines to toughen him up. If only he could jumpfor the ball; if only he could time a jump; if only he could tackle; if only he could take a tackle; if only he could get straight back up again and get stuck in; if only.................. Please Charlie, give the boy a chance by getting shot of him!

For a long time I have thought we should align ourselves with Crystal Palace - similar shirts and similar logo with the eagle, wings outspread over the ball/globe. So why not 'The Eagles'? Better than the staggies! Different to all the other Scots teams! And easy to chant/sing about. Eagle army!!! Eagle army!!!

Well said, Johndo. Standing areas for those fans who want them are a must. The idea of all-seated stadia suits only the Big Boys of the SPL and even their fans would probably prefer to stand. Having said that though, I don't think I'd like to have stood up in the old Main stand at Chelsea in the early 70's where just getting to your seat induced vertigo! Best of luck with your complaint but don't hold your breath pending a reply.
