    Diddy or Doddy Cup

    Presumably the Diddy Cup has no rules about that?  There have certainly been recent disputes about that in the Football League, which had - maybe still has - requirements for you to play as strong a team as you can.

    The club will no doubt argue that this is exactly what is happening. the wording of the statement is literally a 'don't travel' notification with a pretty passive aggressive dig at the SPFL. 

    "because of our continued unprecedented injury situation and the lack of assistance we applied for via the proper channels at the SPFL, the club will have no choice but to play a team in this tie which will not include many of our current 1st team squad."

    If there is blowback, they will argue they asked for assistance, were given none and simply played the strongest team they could. It would be hard to argue that given recent team lines.

    I’m sorry, I disagree with the club on this.  We certainly should not risk anyone carrying a knock, but we should play those who are fit and use Saturday to try and build confidence in a game where league points are not at stake.

    Agree. You put the best team you can on the park in every game. Don't risk anyone who is injured or not fully fit but put out the best team you can from those available and only put the youngsters in where you have no option or where you feel they are good enough. 

    Bigger worry is why we have so many injured? Is it the training regime? lack of recovery plans? putting players in too early after injury? Poor medical routines? I don't recall us ever having things quite so bad. ever.

    Kingsmills - RIP

    in Caley Thistle

    Posted

    It is with great sadness that we let everyone know of the passing of one of our site moderators 'Kingsmills'. Colin had been a member of the site for many years, definitely someone you would consider one of the originals. He was also a moderator on the site for much of his time here. Like all mods, he had his fair share of run-ins with some posters but as far as I am concerned always handled things pretty fairly. 

    To my knowledge, I had never met Colin in person as I had already moved to Canada when he became a mod and we never (knowingly) crossed paths at the stadium but in email or PM dealings with him it was always pleasant. Condolences and respects to his family and friends.

    ok, thanks guys, thats more for me to dig into! ?I do wonder if it is ad related as thats the only thing I can think of that would be added or would add additional processes. There is a lot going on in the background when you load a page but those are really the only external things and as there are no site errors in the logs then its kind of the first place i need to look. 

    The ads are auto added by google and I too have noticed the in-between threads ads which are too many. I may need to revert to manually placing them so I can control how many and where.

    The problem of pages freezing has recurred and wondering if posting images has anything to do with it. Have just got a post done but it took several attempts.

    Was/Were the image(s) from Facebook? I do see one entry in the system log (not an error log) that notes the issue below. This seems more like an issue receiving data from a facebook photo.

    I am still having difficulty when posting on the site and doing the PotY poll, getting the following error code.

    Had to google this one:

    The error code: RESULT_CODE_HUNG probably shows up because of a corrupted extension installed in your browser. On this occasion, you’d better disable all the extensions in your browser and then enable them one by one to find out the problematic extension. It may take a long time. First of all, you need to disable all the extension in your browser.

    You feckin jinxed it now!! 

    I did update the software version late last week so maybe there were some bug fixes that were undocumented that got things ticking along. That and I paid the bill for the next 12 months of hosting to our provider! ( :lol: )

    Another appointment imminent.

    Expect the press release to contain similar to those of the above appointment about local businessman with local business contacts, but will also touch on their experience with events and the possibility of building the stadiums profile as an events venue....although their primary business interests are more tailored.

    interesting. can only think of a couple of guys with a former association with ICT and an events background or history. Would surprise me if it were either of them... but you were not wrong about GB so will wait and see 😉

    Its an off the wall comparison, and I am sure Rossco would be elated to be compared to him, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still playing at the very top level at the age of 41. I was witness to his time in MLS with LA Galaxy where he scored his 500th career goal in Toronto at the TFC supporters section end (and a thing of beauty it was too - even though he ended up on the losing side thankfully). Even after LA he was not ready to retire and headed to Serie A which is pretty impressive considering everyone in Europe seems to regard MLS as a retirement league (it is not). The point is that he looks after himself, has a football brain, and still able to function at that level. There are games in the last few years, where even past 40 he is still outshining all the 20 somethings around him. If he dropped down to Serie B or C (not that he would - ego would not allow it) he could likely play until he was late 40s.     

    I remember Rossco's playing career with fondness and one of the things about that is people wrote him off year after year, each time we got promoted. Even after he had been part of the team from the bottom division all the way to the Premiership people still questioned his reliability and his football pedigree. Its economies of scale, and he has put a little more beef on than Zlatan, but I don't see why Rossco can't still play in the HFL if he has the desire?  He has had a gradual slide down the ranks of the leagues in terms of teams played for ... us of course, then County, Brora, St Duthus, Loch Ness, and now a step back in league terms to Nairn. If he is enjoying his football, is remaining fit, and not getting injured then why not.

    I noticed the site issues banner and not been too upset. But I hadn't noticed this thread before and a lot of it is over my head. Just wanted to add my tuppence worth:

    1) An issue I had previously has recurred in the past week. It tells me to log in. As Scotty found before, I was never actually logged out, so I just ignore it.

    Login is cookie related so I will typically just clear cookies and login again. I get this on a few sites, especially work-related ones where I might have multiple logins with different permissions (not the case here but just saying). Cookies seem to get confused or corrupted.

    2) I suspect I am no longer a site sponsor but can't recall any reminders. Would gladly renew. There was a previous issue that when I was a sponsor, my admin privileges disappeared.

    Yes, the ranks are a little convoluted for those who are site or player sponsors, especially when people are part of multiple groups and may also be a mod or admin. Its supposed to auto-promote from full-member to player or site sponsor and each has different privileges. That works well. When you are in multiple groups i typically tweak it manually.

    3) Further to this, I'm getting ads between posts. There seems to be a suggestion above that this relates to not being a sponsor?

    These are Google Auto-Ads. Everyone except site sponsor gets these (including mods/admin).

    4) Occasional problems posting, as reported above. Page freezes and content is restored on refreshing the page. Sometimes takes several attempts. It actually happened while I was beginning this post. Safari on iMac and also on iPad.

    This is the one I am focusing on. I have not had problems posting but a couple of times I did notice I could not use the arrow keys to adjust my cursor position in the editor. Not sure if this is an editor issue, conflicting scripts, or something else but going to try and look at it and see if anyone else has reported it to the board software providers. I may need to reset the editor and go back to the default settings to see if that fixes it but will see where this leads.

    Last game at Telford Street was October 20th, 1996 against a Highland League Select. ICT team that day was :  McMillan, Teasdale, Hastings, Hercher, Benson, Bennett, Wilson, Tokely, Thomson, McLean, De Barros.   Subs: Ross, Christie, Sinclair, MacArthur, Noble (all subs used during game)

    Only players in the squad that year in the same (u20) age range as Ross were Wayne Addicoat and Neal Sinclair. Everyone else would now be closing in on, or already in their 50s
