  2. Yes. That Caledonian F.C. stand replaced the one which was burned in mysterious circumstances? But I can't see the Bumbers Lane though , unless it has been tar-macadamed over and has been re-named? I can also make out the homes on Dunain Road but can't see the houses on Fairfield road that ran up to the Canal. On the East side they were stone-built ones and on the other side of the Street they were those which were started about the 1940's as the commencement of the Dalneigh build.
  3. Now that's a classy post from our new visitor from the East, DonInPeace. Where is Donview when you need him with his input? In view of Tansey's drop in form it is a little bit surprising I must confess. What has gone on behind the scenes we will probably never know but this move may well have been on the cards for quite a while. Anyway we should wish him "well" because he seems to be a decent lad all told. Going round the doors handing out jerseys to the youngsters with a smile are positive gestures that we should note amongst other things. Whilst wishing him well at Aberdeen I can't help but have a nagging feeling that unless he can pull out top form in most matches his glory days may actually be past. On the other hand it is also entirely possible, in view of the fact that he is not yet an "old-un" that he may be rejuvenated by the bigger scene and get fresh energy and fresh , enthusiastic, legs. Let's wish him all the best. Meantime, it is also noted with some interest that the Aberdeen City Council has not approved the transfer to their new stadium and the club may have to actually change their drafted plans, not to mention their ambitions, to satisfy the Aberdeen Council's wishes. Anybody able to throw some more light on this?
  4. Aye, Charlie, Doofers is sometimes very clever. Gotta watch that lad ..and keep up. Ha! ha!

  6. ICTF since 94.......... C.B may be opinionated but "Obnoxious" is flat out personal abuse. But expressing HIS opinion is his right , whether you agree with it or not, and that's the way he expresses himself . So.? He's unlikely to change now, but are you? You were on here only five minutes, literally five minutes, and you referred to S.P., in your opinion, as "being on something". And that is personal abuse also. The only thing that S.P has been on in his entire life is his hobby horse. He's the court jester who tries to liven up a world filled with pain and sorrow, brutality, extensive starvation , murders and rape, chaos and corruption and so forth ad nauseam. In Syria certain factions are continuing to deliberately target and bomb hospitals in order to wipe them out, for goodness sake. Our food is genetically modified, or chemically altered, tasteless rubbish and global warming is a very real threat to our existence, yet countries still ignore it. I go on the BBC website for world news every day and I shudder to think of what is eventually going to happen to this world if this continues. And therefore I come on here to relax and engage in lively, positive discussion, nothing else. And don't forget that in the days of yore, Court Jesters were the link between the powerful kings of the realm and the other ambitious, lower ranking but often dangerous, courtiers. Picked because they were very intelligent and useful tools of state who were often skilled negotiators and knew how to get and disseminate information at Court without causing deep offence to anyone. Don't apply for the position after S.P dies since your comments are impetuous and unwise. And I don't think you have yet paid your dues and acquired the knowledge and right to be that critical and very personal. As for the comments from one of the above members on here about old farts not having the right to their opinion about Caley Thistle, etc., I went to my first game at the age of 11 or 12 in Inverness and have never changed my allegiance to my football team in Scotland, even if I do live about 6,000 miles away. I just found ways to keep into touch about everything. So, IMHO, my opinion is as valid as anybody else's even if old S.P's memory is flagging and boredom is a problem.
  7. Stabbing in the dark but....would that one be of Strathpeffer?
  8. Compliments from the a cold and rainy day in the Wild West of Canada. Lovely day for a match and wonderful video. This is great stuff from good cameras and fair and very adequate commentary. At some time in the future an addition of clock timing discreetly showing on the screen if at all possible would be an asset that would complete the presentation. IMHO. Just a wee suggestion. Thank you. Have a great day.
  9. O.K O.K.! Now the video and the commentary is back on. Thank you!
  10. Don The video and the associated sound commentary has just faded out of my computer completely leaving a blank screen? Any thoughts. Teething problems? Hope it's just a temporary glitch. What a beautiful day in Inverness and the pitch looks fantastic as well! Fantastic video and we overseas fans have the best seat in the house.!
  11. Daylight Savings Time starts in the U.K on 26 March 2017.
  12. Nope! My ticket entry shows invalid number but maybe I am one hour too early. Keeping my fingers crossed. Anyway I.m off to make a cup of tea. and maybe have breakfast.Smile.
  13. Yeh. I.m sitting here at 7.15.am this morning in Western Canada trying to access the match. Wondering why
  14. This would look very nice if the upper white strips were not extended so far out over the shoulders. Stopped at the top of each outer stripe would look classy.
