Except Fridge. I seem to remember Fridge doing ok at times. My memory is hazy but I think he was in goals the night we beat the Pars at East End Park in one of the cups when they were still a "scalp" for ICT. It ended up going to ET and pens and he saved some. Made us late going up the road but we did it with a smile on our faces.
-
For me there are only 3 keepers worthy of being called our top keeper - Esson, Brown or Calder. Tuffey may also be added to that list in time if/when he gets his chance. As you said, Brown was a great shot stopper for ICT but his weakness - if it is really one - is that he didnt seem able to save penalties. Calder on the other hand was great at saving penalties and being a bit flamboyant but his shot stopping was not on a par with Brown. I would have loved to have seen what a younger Calder as a full-time footballer may have achieved. If that had happened then this question might not have been necessary. Based on performance, I think Esson edges it over those two as he is both a tremendous shot stopper and can also save the odd penalty. He may not have the flamboyance of Jimbo, but he has taken the best qualities of each of the other top two and is a more complete player. As I mentioned to Hislopsoffsideagain when the points were being compiled, I am delighted that Ryan is leading the standings as traditionally there are certain positions on the park that do not attract votes as readily as others and that is especially true of goalkeepers who tend to get a lot of 3 or 1 point votes but not usually the 5 pointers. Broonie was great for us but never got a sniff of the POY trophy, and neither did Calder as we only just started the award in 2000/01. As for the other keepers mentioned - they all did a job for us as and when they were here but those three set the bar so high that none of them could measure up to them - even those that had played at a far higher level or even internationally !
-
With extreme thanks to Hislopsoffsideagain who crunched the numbers for us, the POY standings are now published on the front page: http://caleythistleonline.com/3809-player-of-year-update Ryan Esson leads, followed closely by Nick Ross and Adam Rooney
-
Ryan Leads the Pack .... As the 2010/11 season rumbles on towards its end and with Caley Thistle seeking a top six finish for the first time in our history, its that time of year again .... Player of the Year update time ! Started in season 2000/01, and recognised by the club as one of only two 'external' awards recorded in the official statistics of the club (supporters club award is the other), the CaleyThistleOnline Player of the Year award has been handed out to 10 different recipients in 10 years. Bobby Mann was the first ever recipient and Johnny Hayes walked away with the title last season. In between those years future internationals Barry Robson, Don Cowie and Ian Black have also won it and of course club legend Ross Tokely won it in our first SPL season, a year in which he won every single player award at the club !!! However, in all that time, and despite some great performances between the sticks from various holders of the #1 shirt, no Goalkeeper has ever got his hands to it ! Could Ryan Esson be the first ? Ryan currently leads the standings (to end of February) and his performances since coming to Caley Thistle at the beginning of the 2008/09 season show he would be a more than worthy winner of the trophy. It has taken Ryan just 3 seasons to rack up more than 100 appearances for ICT, a feat that took him nearly 10 years at Aberdeen !!! Player Pts Ryan Esson 56 Nick Ross 50 Adam Rooney 41 Ross Tokely 26 Johnny Hayes 26 Eric Odhiambo 19 Grant Munro 16 Stuart Duff 9 Richie Foran 8 Graeme Shinnie 8 Aaron Doran 7 Kenny Gillet 6 Dani Sanchez 6 Lee Cox 6 Russell Duncan 5 Jonny Tuffey 3 Chris Hogg 1 Kevin McCann 1 Shane Sutherland 1 Also in the hunt alongside Ryan are Nick Ross and Adam Rooney in second and third spot respectively. Its a no brainer that Adam would be up there in the top 3, he's a striker, and strikers always get votes, but he is also one who can earn them with his goals !!! With 27 goals in 46 appearances last season, he was close to this trophy a year ago, and he is once again in the hunt with 19 goals from 34 games in 2010/11. A total of 52 goals in 116 appearances for the club mean he is now 5th on the all time scorer list behind Wyness (101), Wilson (83), Stewart (82) and Ritchie (63). Perhaps a little surprising - but in no way undeserved - is the emergence of Nick Ross as a potential Player of the Year. Last season Nick started 4 games for the club and came on as a sub a further 8 times ... a typical progression for a young 'prospect'. He has however been an almost ever present this season with 28 starts and three sub appearances and he is in the team wholly on merit. His performances in most games has been excellent and he was rewarded for this in November when he made his debut for the Scotland U-21 team in a match against Northern Ireland at Pittodrie, a match in which he also scored for his country. If Nick continues to progress as he has done already he has a huge future in front of him and maybe ICT fans will be able to say, "yeah we had him as a player of the year long before he was well known" ... just like we can with Barry Robson and Don Cowie ! Month Player of Month Jul / Aug Eric Odhimabo September Nick Ross October Johnny Hayes November Adam Rooney December Ryan Esson January Nick Ross February Aaron Doran March ??? April ??? May ??? Rounding off the top 5 in the current standings are two former winners of the trophy. Ross Tokely and Johnny Hayes. Johnny won it last year and given his exciting performances then its not inconceivable he could go on a tear and finish at the top. Rossco has been steady this season and frequently the most solid of what has been a shaky defence at times. Both are long shots to be the first repeat winners of the trophy, but with votes from March, April and May still to be added to the current totals once each month's fixtures are complete, then anything is possible ! Hand in hand with our Player of the Year polls, we also calculate a "Player of the Month" for each calendar month. This is separate to the overall standings and is based on the number of individual votes a player received each month regardless of whether they were 5,3, or 1 point votes. (this is explained better on the Player of the Year page : HERE) Not surprisingly, our top three dominate the proceedings by being named Player of the Month in 4 of the 7 months so far but there are also appearances from Jonny Hayes, Eric Odhiambo, and loan signing Aaron Doran ..... So keep voting in the forum Player of the Year polls (if you were at the game), there is still a lot to play for. Finally - We must give a huge thank you to site member Hislopsoffsideagain for his help in compiling the points for this season. We did mean to update this every month but unfortunately it slipped down the priority list .... so he took the bull by the horns, grabbed the data and worked out all the numbers for you. We appreciate the help, and I am sure you do too !
-
The rules are ..... Terry picks the team he thinks will win the game !!!!
-
Dons now 2-0 up on St Mirren
-
Aberdeen 1-0 St Mirren in their replay Arabs 0-0 Hearts in the SPL

Is that not just home games? If they are showing it then there must be some form of payment to ICT? Nope - teams have equal rights to their own games regardless of the home venue. If Celtic TV is broadcasting, it is for their subscriber base and they are not due anyone a penny. Sounds like its a single camera though. I am sure there will be plenty of streams in the usual places (those that are not hosted in the USA and closed down by Homeland Security that is) .... but in accordance with site policy please dont post the links in the public forums ..... In other news .... have you heard ? This site has a private messaging system
-
Just a quick question though ... and a serious one. How many of those 20 were actually "Caley" or "Thistle" fans who were at Kingsmills or Telford Street regularly or even semi-regularly ? And how many of them already had Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen or some other senior league team as their "big team" before ICT joined the senior ranks ? Yes, there are refuseniks, and there are probably more of them than those of us with an ICT bias or affinity would care to admit to or perhaps believe. However, the other side of the coin I would suggest is that there are also far less of them than the refusenik camp would have us believe. As with many other things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
-
the Well fans certainly shouted for it but as you say, players didnt seem to shout and commentator didnt mention it so think he got away with it ....
-
As promised, the video will be up today. Have just finished processing it so should be available at http://ictfc.com/video in the next 10 minutes or so
-
Actually quite like the idea .... the website is very informative and their benefits page actually throws up a few good ideas .... Lower insurance rates (match cancellation insurance) [do we have this ?] Up to 75% reduction in USH costs [I guess it needs to be on for shorter time] Sponsorship opportunities - branding on the cover itself [visible from A9 or before games on TV] A few years ago I would have said "no way" as the TCS was never a place to have many call-offs, but ever since the addition of USH we seem to be more vulnerable to waterlogging especially. It may not be viable as we have no idea of the costs, but no harm in getting a quote and letting the number crunchers figure out if there is any merit in it ... or not.
-
Was thinking the same thing .... although the flaw in that argument was that it was the away team who performed better on that day !!!
-
Nice result, and a plus point for the correct usage of CCTV ... not only to identify and punish fans causing trouble, but also to back up fans who have been treated unfairly when Stewards are the ones causing the trouble. I promise to try and never use the following phrase again .... but Well Done St Mirren !
-
I knew plenty of anti-merger folk when I was back in Inverness but only a small percentage could be classed as 'refuseniks' ... but most mellowed with age. Of those I know, I would probably say that the most hardline in their stances were Kavs and Mr Douglas. Neither would set foot in the stadium and both had very strong opinions on the whole matter which exist to this day as far as I am aware. Fair play to them both and although we disagree vehemently on the subject I have been able to hold a sensible conversation with both of the aforementioned guys in the past about the subject of Caledonian FC / ICT FC.
-
Sorry Scarlet, have just been hugely busy this week so didnt manage to get it done. If you cannot see the BBC file (I am guessing not as it will be blocked for us) then I will try to make sure its up as soon as I can. Likely Monday.

Would have him back in a second. He didnt want to go, his hand was forced, and if he were willing to come back then he would be an extremely valuable addition to the team.
