Scotty

Only an 8 part series ? Think we could easily scriptwrite our own series about ICT and its fans just from comments on this website :015: :015: :015:

At least he seems to do his scoring on the pitch :004: - another one today

glad to hear he is OK. thats scary.

next time TCF you might want to put the quotes in context and make it clear what you were actually quoting was his comments as shown within my post. Quoting as you do makes it look like those were my direct comments !!

precisely. Everything he has said has seemed to either belittle or question the motives or abilities of people he clearly has no clue about. And when people question him or his abilities then its toys out of the pram stuff and comments like "stuff em". We dont need him and dont want him ....

The words "Toys" & "Pram" spring to mind COURIER ARTICLE Mr MacGregor defended his position yesterday, claiming people in Inverness were "small minded" and without outside investment the club was going nowhere. He criticised fans for focusing on the porn element of his businesses and said he felt ashamed to be Scottish. "It does not matter what I do for a living," he said. "If that's the attitude then stuff them. They are never going to make anything of the club. They are hanging on by their teeth and nails." Well Mr McGregor - on behalf of the supporters of ICT on this website may I respectfully suggest you take one of your biggest "adult massagers" and proceed to stuff yourself :017:

We do our best and trust me its just as frustrating for us too. If we **** something up and it causes a problem then at least we know it can be fixed but when our service provider doesnt provide the level of service we want or expect then it becomes a bit of a problem. Unfortunately, as much as we would love to move to a different host or a dedicated server, we simply cant afford it without some decent and long lasting sponsorship. Although the site is no longer generating the same amount of errors as before, it still seems a little slow so I have submitted a service ticket to our hosts detailing the internal errors i discovered. It is possible that there may be hundreds of other sites generating the same amount of errors and slowing us all down !!!

trust me - frustration is not the word !!! I have been laid low with Flu for the last week but have taken the time to go through some of our server error logs and tweak a few things. Our hosting providers have been making changes internally and although they tell us it shouldnt affect things, it has been. There have been two major errors cropping up in our logs this past week - one internal, one external. The external error was that the Scotsman seem to have quietly dropped their dedicated ICT newsfeed and we were still calling it in various places. Every time it got called, on the front page or on the newsfeeds page, it would generate errors and put additional pressure on the server. I have removed it. The internal error seems to have been due to a change in our host's php4 installation. It shouldnt have affected us as we are using php5 but it did as they rewrote a crucial config file and enabled something that we dont have in V5. I have now rewritten that file and disabled the offending command. Our daily error log is usually 4 or 5Kb and pretty inconsequential but during the last week it has been hitting 15 - 16 Mb on a daily basis :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07: When i fixed the above problems, the log returned to normal and hopefully you should see less problems.

In light of the "takeover" nonsense this week, I am sure he may have some interesting comments :003:

just because we have bid for 3 players doesnt mean any will relocate to inverness.highly doubt we,ll get 1 in let alone 3 [attach=1]

its the ghosts !!!!! seriously though - it could be one of many things - from a virus right through to a pooched CMOS battery (IBMs are bad for that one) and your description is just too vague. suggest you take it to a computer shop for a health check !

The only players to win a FULL International cap whilst at the TCS are Richard Hastings and Davide Xausa. All the others either earned them before coming to us, got "B" or "Future Squad" caps, or youth caps, none of which really count do they !

Not sure ... but sign me up for "hospitality" :015: :015: :015: :015: seriously though - Savage and/or Sutherland need to tell this guy to GTF right now. I think we can safely say that the majority of fans dont want him and probably think his "plans" for ICT are just as ludicrous as his plans for Elgin were. Lets not allow this to drag on.

"These people are grippy," he claimed. "They do not want to lose control but they have no money to do anything with it. Either do something with the club or step aside and let someone else do something." :015: :015: :015: - I am sure David Sutherland and Alan Savage laughed out loud at that part of it. three initials will suffice for my reaction to the porn peddler ........ G.T.F.

???

The general consensus on P&B is that bids of 65K were accepted last week but rejected when Hibs entered the hunt. Doubt we will ever know for sure but if true, we look bad.

I dont think 100K is in the least bit unreasonable for a somewhat free scoring SPL midfielder who we bought as a good SFL1 midfielder. He has undoubtedly improved since we bought him so the valuation is fine. What ticks me off is that the club should have said that from the start. "You want Rankin, the cost is 100K+ .... end of story." but if what we read on P&B is correct we have been moving the goalposts almost daily and that makes us look like amateurs.

you never know ..... There's a certain event in September that we are hoping to attend but we are going to Cuba in June for our anniversary (hence the new "relaxed" signature) so it all depends on the cashflow.

Is it possible for interested parties who live outside Inverness to become members via PayPal ?

separated at birth ?

Its just sound-bites for his new club. nothing to get too wound up about as he does have some truth in there !! I wish him well as he tries to get on the good side of Bingham Legend :004: With all respect to Inverness, I believe Killie are a bigger club, having been in the top flight for a lot longer. I think this could be said to be true most seasons but for how much longer is the real question ? They are at the wrong end of the table and struggling with debt. You could arguably say that Dundee, Dunfermline, St Johnstone, Partick Thistle and others are bigger than ICT but you are only as good as where you finished the last season and each of the those clubs have been dealt hammer blows by being relegated and if/when they come back to the SPL they will perhaps have the potential to be big clubs again (sleeping giants and all that guff) but its not a divine right. If Killie were to go down in the next season or two, would they recover ? Expectations are different as well. There are only a few clubs in the SPL who at the start of the season say their aim is to avoid relegation and Caley Thistle are one of them. Kilmarnock say 'we need top six', rather than 'top six would be nice'. I agree with him to an extent here as the one thing that used to wind me up about Charlie was his constant use of the phrase "a club of our size". All clubs want top six, all clubs outwith the OF realistically want third place but the reality is that most clubs in the SPL have two aims at the start of the season - avoid the relegation battle and get into the top six for the final few games. If you get blase about your league position, expecting to be in the top half, you might find yourself in 9th place, 9 points adrift of ICT. For all the moaning some of us (myself included) have done about CB, I did like his comment - when we were 12th - that his aim was always to catch the team in front of him ... he's done that and now we are chasing the team in 6th place. Another reason Killie might be saying we "need" top six is to service their debt :023: In Caley Thistle's case, it is therefore correct to say that top six would be nice as we have no debt to service. Although we might now "need" top six because we aint getting a cup run. That was another factor in my move. No. The factor in your move young man was that your contract ended and you werent offered another one. It was perhaps good luck that you ended up at Killie.

bf - If your new comp only came with one monitor, and you have space on your desk .... you might want to think about using the old one in a dual monitor setup .... its something I couldnt do without these days .... especially on matchdays where i have several browser windows open to places like the BBC, SKY live ticker, this site, and other sites etc ......

Aww feck :009: Any chance of you mentioning Saturday as an option Scotty, Im sure there are others in my position who will be unable to make it due to work, uni etc the next day. I am sure Angela and perhaps Darren will both read this thread and see your comments. I doubt they would be able to do anything about this event at such short notice or other events where dates have already been set but hopefully they will note your comments for future events that have not been advertised yet.

Got an email from ICT's commercial manager Darren MacKintosh wanting to publicise a few events that they hope will be geared to "normal" fans moreso than some of the recent black tie or business oriented events. Quiz Night [attach=1] We are holding a quiz night on Thursday 7th February at the Stadium, we are looking for 25 teams of 4 at ?5 per head. (Winning prize tbc) Arrival 7.30pm for a 8pm start. The bar will be open and hopefully it should be good craic! If anyone is interested in putting in a team, phone the club for a entry form on 01463 227454, e-mail [email protected] or download the one below (PDF) [attach=2] Future Events [li]St Patricks Day Party on Saturday 15th March[/li] [li]Casino night on Saturday 5th April.[/li] Booking form.pdf

Aye, and in the very same game I am a tactical genius who has taken ICT to the top with the same squad we have now and who all the players love because of my grasp of the game, winning training techniques, and the way I handle the press ........ meanwhile, back in the real world ...... I make a great armchair manager, but I wouldnt last 5 minutes running a 'real' professional team.
