It has been a privilege guys.......my story
And the motley crew in Inverness for a game in 2004 ..... a week before another trip to Hampden (to face Dunfermline this time) but lets also not forget others who sadly missed this moment and who would have revelled in it ..... GordyFromSneck for one (). LG's husband Dave, and of course Mikey Diamond. Sure there are (unfortunately) many more.

It has been a privilege guys.......my story
Hard to believe our adventure started 21 years ago and during that time we have met, made friends with, and even fallen out with a good few folk along the way. I showed my wife some of the videos from last week of fans with big s***-eating grins, of Dave the Rave and the lads at the NMP, the crowds lining the streets, all sorts of random stuff and she made the comment that "ICT really is something special, isnt it". Dont tell her I said this, but she was right! ICT really is something special and I am proud to be a part of that in some small way.

Replacement Striker?
not sure he will be a success ... only works properly when he is out of his box !

Filthy Lucre
not to mention the extra €10,000 that we earned by winning the Cup and getting a bye in the first round of the Europa League qualifiers ! First round qualifiers get €120,000, but 2nd round is €130,000. get to the next round it goes up another €10K and then another €10K for the final round before the group stage. Getting to the group stages earns clubs a minimum €1,300,000 plus money for every point attained !!! Looking at last few years fixtures its not inconceivable for us to get to 3rd qualifying rd if we get the right draw, but it will all be an adventure 2014/15 - Motherwell went out in Q2 to Stjarnan (Iceland), Aberdeen & St Johnstone went out in Q3 to Real Sociedad (Spain) and Spartak Trnava (Slovakia) 2013/14 - Hibs got pumped 9-0 in Q2 by Malmo , Motherwell & St Johnstone went out in Q3 to Kuban Krasnodar (Russia) and Minsk (Belarus) 2012/13 - St Johnstone went out in Q2 to Eskişehirspor (Turkey), Dundee Utd went out to Dynamo Moscow (Russia) in Q3, Motherwell went out to Levante (Spain) and Hearts went out to Liverpool (England) in the final playoff round before the group stages,

Roy opens cheque book again
I feel disenfranchised ..... both my personal and the @ICTOnline accounts can see Richard Brittain. Perhaps I/We should block him ?

Capitalising on the Cup Win
agree. this is crucial. if we can convert a few hundred or even a thousand to come along regularly it will have a pretty significant impact on our turnover

Inverness CT -V- Falkirk (Cup Final)
I thought I was right at the time of watching it, but had no opportunity to check until this morning. There was a Toronto FC link in the final (and I dont mean luvgravy flying in for it) ...... Former TFC player Taylor Morgan came on for Falkirk as a 95th minute sub. He is on loan to them from Swedish side Ostersunds FK and was briefly at TFC. He only made 1 appearance for TFC after being drafted in 2013. He came on as a sub for TFC in the first game of that season replacing Terry Dunfield. The same Terry Dunfield who was just released by county ....

Inverness CT -V- Falkirk (Cup Final)
I also thought he had a decent game for once. Obviously had a briefing beforehand to tell him what was expected. When the red came out (his first card of the day I think - and absolutely the correct call unfortunately), then a yellow came out for Taiwo a minute or two later I turned to my pals and said ... 'here we f****** go' .... but no, he reigned himself back in and controlled it well to the end. Not sure where he got 6 minutes of added time from though ... that really was squeaky bum time.

John Hughes, I owe you an apology ..........
I think I was one of the few who openly supported Hughes from the start and without going down the "I told you so" route, I said there was something about him I liked. As a player, and then when he was on the management team at both Ayr and Falkirk I enjoyed his banter with the crowd from the sidelines. I met him briefly at the stadium just a few weeks after his appointment and my initial feeling was confirmed. Having said all this, I do have to admit that I never thought he would take us this far this fast. Yes, he inherited a great bunch of lads from the previous management team, and most of those guys are the players who won this for us, but he came in, changed the style and philosophy and got those guys to raise their game a notch or several so he has his stamp on the team too. Sometimes it wasnt pretty and I think many of us expected some growing pains but the only pain right now is on my face from smiling so much. Also want to take a moment to say some people should also perhaps say the same thing to Kenny Cameron. Our chairman took a bit of a verbal pounding at the time Hughes was appointed .... but yet again he, and our board has been shown to have made the right decision at the right time. Our various chairmen and boards have made perhaps a handful of bad decisions over 21 years but they do have a pretty good track record. That is another reason why I was comfortable with the decision at the outset. I have known Kenny for donkeys years and I don't recall him making a decision that he did not think was for the good of the club or the fans.

yup. had a wee tear in my eye yesterday .... last time that happened was 22 months earlier when my little guy was born. A few medicinal whiskies later and all was fine ;) TFC also won yesterday and one of my mates from the bar is an Arsenal fan so all in all we went 3 for 3 yesterday !
