I actually quite like it ..... but each to their own. If I were to pick the ones I like least (as I dont dislike any of them per say) it would be these two and my favourites would probably be this year's strips - home and away.

I think we should really add a word to this thread title and that is Arrogance of the English MEDIA ...... most English people I know are pretty decent, its the media, commentators and a few tosspots that need a reality check.

Think you might find a few people disagreeing with you on that one simply because it is our most 'historic' top ..... worn against Celtic in 'that' game in 2000 and hastily used as a replacement top again in 2002 when we knocked out Hearts at Tynecastle. [attach=1]

yup - on the first occasion, i would say the person was straight off the boat 3 generations ago ! and on the second, probably the descendant of such a person, definitely not a native Canadian thats for sure.

at the end of the day we removed it because we felt it was borderline and regardless of what we do this is one of those damned if you do, damned if you dont scenarios. Johnboy realised it was borderline so posted his disclaimer alongside it. Sensitivity is not an issue and I am sure just as many people may have found it inoffensive as offensive had we let it remain but we made our decision and that is that. Donmac - as one half of an interracial couple, I can appreciate what you are talking about both in terms of experiencing racism first hand and also in seeing people (on each side) play the race card. I can also take it a stage further and talk of my own experiences of racism that has occurred on a couple of occasions. Each time, it involved an argument and the other party involved told me to "go back to where you came from", presumably because of my accent rather than my skin tone. This truly astounded me and left me speechless. Both times were trivial events but it brought it home to me just how hurtful even the mildest remarks can be to someone who is nether expecting them nor deserving of them.

LOOK. I am sick and tired of this. Lets make this straight. We (admin/mods) run the website and we will allow, amend, remove postings as we see fit !!!! There is no voting, there is no discussion about it, we decide. If you can't handle that then go somewhere else. end of story. We don't have the time to babysit people who should know better or who want to try and make our lives more difficult by making an issue over the slightest little thing. Johnboy had the good sense to preface a 'dodgy' joke with the option to remove it. a decision was made to remove it. Johnboy hasnt complained, and we havent complained back at him, it is not necessary. As you are sitting enjoying your weekend, surfing the net, just give a little consideration to the fact that yet again we are spending hours on end dealing with this kind of stuff and trying to get it sorted. Despite everything, we have listened to constructive feedback we have received from some users and we will be simplifying our terms and conditions over the next few days so that it is clear what is and is not allowed. We will also be trying to put other measures in place to make site moderation a lot more transparent. until then, all we are asking is that you bear with us and not try to wind us up - as after this last week or two we really are not in the mood to accept that.

we have done a lot of talking to people in the background and are satisfied with the answers received so its time to put all the nonsense behind us and get back to the job in hand which is to support Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC ......

For ICT fans at home and abroad, the answer to this is ICT World !!! Virtually every other PTV site has a portion of the site called <club name> World where fans can subscribe to single game coverage, season long coverage, video and audio highlights etc .... for a fee that is pretty reasonable. We should be asking WHY ICT do not have this rather than trying to hunt down pirate footage. I am quite happy to pay my 35 quid a year for licensed coverage.

I think if you ask them to send it out they will but if you are desparate for it you can collect it. nowt much wrong with that. You going to get your one posted or collected TCF ?

bottom line SP - frustrating as it is because of the ludicrous state of UK/Non-UK media rights that the SPL have in place, we as a site (along with many others) were warned off by the powers that be that showing or providing links to P2P sites or to sites that say they show live coverage is forbidden unless it is one of the SPL/SFA official partners such as the BBC, Setanta, or sites that are used officially by some clubs like Internetfootball.co.uk. Not sure what sanction they could/would actually take against us but to prevent the grief we just said no links. If people want to swap them via private messaging then that is not our concern. I have found (and yes, I have gone looking !!!) that sites tend to fall into 1 of 4 categories 1. Official/Licensed Partners - BBC, Setanta, InternetFootball.co.uk, or "<club> world" on some of the official sites. 2. P2P sites - sites that give details of how to access channels using 3rd party programs like TVAnts, PPMate etc. 3. P2P sites - sites that allow you to watch streaming content on them - sometimes free, sometimes not. 4. Ripoff sites - sites that take a subscription from you and then do the same as numbers 2 or 3 or nothing at all. As far as we are concerned, we have been warned off from allowing links to options 2,3, & 4 from appearing on the site ! I can see where you are coming from when you mention sites that are dodgy or offer poor service, but at the end of the day, if we said it was ok to name sites that people should NOT use, then all that would happen is people would come along and hint at a good site by saying "dont use <site> ... wink wink wink" so its easier for us to just say, no links unless they fall into the licensed partner category.

The site is set to GMT +1 (summertime) at the moment. For posters in the UK it should display correctly. For the likes of you and me we need to go into our profile and set the time offset to our own region ..... see this thread http://www.caleythistleonline.com/communit...hp?topic=4299.0

no real comparison other than to say we have played them once and beaten them once - 1-0 in a pre-season friendly.

Yeah - good luck to him. I seem to remember that most of us thought he was pretty good up until he got his (first) shoulder injury and many thought he wasnt quite the same when he came back from that injury. However, he is definitely annoyed at how things didn't go for him at DUFC and feels he has a point to prove so maybe we will see the best out of him ... as an ICT fan, I hope so : DAILY RECORD

A poll with a yes/no answer and set so you can pick two options ??? - fixed it !!

removed it to speed up the site

That one is a beauty !!!!!

Something we agree on finally JB :003: I remember watching that scene as a kid in the company of my parents. Frantically trying to suppress laughter I noticed my father was in a similar state. Outstanding mammaries memories! [img width=500 height=377] although this is my favourite ......

Tubthumping - Chumbawumba :002:

Thought of a few more ..... British: On the Buses, Allo Allo, Dads Army, Hi De Hi, Last of the Summer Wine (for Mantis), Some Mothers Do Ave Em, The Goodies, Bread, Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin, Rising Damp, It aint half hot mum, One foot in the grave, Only fools and horses American: Sgt Bilko, Cheers, Frasier, MASH, WKRP in Cincinatti, Hogans Heroes, Taxi, Mork & Mindy, Happy Days, SOAP, Married with Children, .... The Simpsons !!! http://www.sitcom.co.uk/list_top.shtml

nahh - these examples are all American and not my personal experiences, and trust me 1/2 dozen and dozen is something that is in use both sides of the border ... especially in donut shops ! get what you are saying about 'fortnight' though .... Canadians, for the most part have no clue about that !

Life is tough ... It's tougher when you're STUPID Got sent this in email ...... allegedly 'real' incidents ! ONE - Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets TWO - I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do y ou know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. THREE - A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using th e ATM "thingy." FOUR - I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk." FIVE - Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies. SIX - I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich. SEVEN - My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?" EIGHT - Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed. NINE - A mother calls 911 very worried asking the di spatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room -- the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine. The mother says, "I just gave him some ant killer."..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to Emergency!

Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Young Ones, Blackadder all classics ..... Farty Towels would have to be the favourite out of those though, shame there were so few of them made - beating the car with a tree branch has me in stitches even now. Since I moved over here, British comedy is sadly reduced in content but recent offerings that I have enjoyed on BBC Canada have been things like The Office, Little Britain, 3 Non Blondes (ok not a sitcom), and a few others I cant think of right now. Canada has produced a few decent ones too - Corner Gas, Trailer Park Boys and Little Mosque on the Prairie being the most popular

:rotflmao: - I turned down the chance to try various Asian dishes at a "Fear Factor" lunch when I worked at the Globe and Mail newspaper .... basically, people were asked to bring in traditional yet "interesting" dishes and the most gruesome were put before a panel of people including the CEO who were to eat them for charity - the more grotesque the food, the more the staff had to pay to make them eat it ! The publisher was quite good, he ate most things, but for some reason, the most feared food for some of the people at the event was the large traditional Haggis I had brought along with me !

SportScene are only allowed to make highlights available to UK viewers. The link that opens in a small media player window will say this to you but the site itself sometimes works for those of us outside UK !

We have done some stuff behind the scenes and it would be interesting to know whether people are finding it faster or not ?
