  1. As far as the club's liability to pay for rehabilitation of a player's injuries whilst at the club, would they not have insurance to cover such eventualities?
  2. Guadeamus igitur, JUVENTUS dum sumus. Well, c'mon this IS a football site isn't it? Otherwise a translation into plain English will do me fine, Charlie.
  3. Well IHE is right about the Ides--up to a point. They occur on the 7th March but occasionally, due to something about the Romans or their calendar, on the 15th. I am sure our resident scribe, the Charles, will enlighten us. However, it's an omen all right......?
  4. Thank you Chas. Since it wasn't yesterday that fills in the blanks nicely.
  5. You didn't need to stand in the distillery end, which incidentally I never did, to get the whiffs. Even walking on Dunain Road the tantalising fumes titillated your tonsils.
  6. Red Farr, Orange Raigmore, Blue Abertarff. Dunain I don't remember ?
  7. The house--wow, I remember it was ...FARR. (I think).
  8. -ing Coal Miners
  9. Eagle for Caley. Harbour Road--wasn't that Shore Street ....? Your post --Factual. Deffo not histrionic, even the three "C"s....Cool, Calm and Collected. You are such a good fan of ICT ! As for Julius Caesar, maybe I knew him in a past life because tomorrow, 7th March, is my birthday AND the Ides Of March. At 79 I think that only Jock Watt is an older geezer on here.
  10. When Celtic get the ball their mates always seem to be ready to run into open space and do so immediately and inevitably they are there to receive the pass from the player in possession. That's training and foresight. Not only that, they don't hold onto the ball for long so they pass with precision and speed and frankly I feel that their opponents just can't take it all in gasp of breath and by the time that they get it, it's too late. Vigurs--I watched his face closely when he ran up close to our side of the camera and the expression on it was revealing---a combination of honesty, real concern, slight anxiety and portraying a feeling of commitment as well. I.e. NOT the feelings of a nonchalant, non-committed player. Time to ease off on him and we just have to hope that Richie knows his players well enough to inspire them with his private words, reminding them of their abilities and urging them on to be the best they can be. If it's our karma that we are going down, then we are going down and nothing is to be gained by absolute negative feelings, utterances and whining. Richie's after the match comments were hardly likely to inspire. Sure he was deeply disappointed and maybe very frustrated but throwing the players to the wolves by saying they were frightened little pussies is self-indulgent emoting and should at least be confined to the dressing room where the public can't get an earful. Not only that, but it occurs to me to ask why he didn't warn them advance of what they might expect emotionally if Celtic surged ahead......
  11. Me Tarzan you Mojo, IHE?

  13. Celtic players are more relaxed and very confident and prefer to pass, and pass quickly, rather than getting into long penetrating runs.-- and usually before the opposing players get anywhere near them. Which meant that Caley had to run around trying to pick up loose balls, etc. before they could even start an attack. Slick, swift passing and ball control from Celtic killed us and rarely if ever did they try a blooter, except over the bar at times. They are not a particularly speedy team but positioning and very accurate passing and ball retention are their strong points. They are calm , possessed and disciplined.Truly though, goalie errors did seem to lead to 50% of the goals against us. Our boys did well in the first half until that goal just before half time seemed to knock them right out of their stride. In the second half things just plodded along without any real threat thereafter and they had a hard time both getting and keeping the ball and had disjointed positioning in attack and they sure didn't attack in waves,- you know side by side. Celtic's goalie must have had a somewhat boring and totally unremarkable day out I feel. Cole is tricky enough and he received his share of the ball but he didn't seem to achieve much at all with it and his presence just faded away. Billy seemed to be almost left out of it with hardly any accurate and direct service that could be seen and therefore simply became a passenger towards the end. I'm off--least said, soonest mended.
  14. O.K all is well. When I returned to the video it was playing and now it is half time and no issues leading up to this point. Perhaps I delayed access too close to the start (five minutes before kick-off) and this may have arisen as a result of the advised delay in the processing of the payment and the video may have simply decided to stop. Once the payment cleared it decided to start up again?
  15. O.K. I've found it on the main web site. However the payment went through but there is a stoppage now and the information to me is that it's taking a long time to go through. However I am now finally through to the play-video page and have entered the password given to me by Donald previously . The video has started to play showing the players exiting the tunnel and then has stopped completely and won't respond to clicking on the lower left white arrow head. There was also a white arrow head right in the centre of the video but it disappeared quickly and so no access from that position. I guess I will just try again.......
  16. Can someone please tell me at what time (GMT) this match starts in Inverness? Is it 6.30 p.m. by any chance. Then I can have my payment done and my cup of coffee to hand . Tahnks. S.P.
  17. Yap. It's a funny old world isn't it...?
  18. fact or fiction?
  19. Yes, and it won't be long now--the clock is tic-ing.
