  1. Wanderer - too much Maotai or Yellow Wine perhaps ?
  2. BBC are only allowed to show something like 2 minutes of each game and 20 minutes of their main game - its in the rights agreement
  3. maybe a year on club website but try nearly three years in all !!!
  4. Dan's funeral takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) at Inverness Crematorium at 2.30pm. Only family flowers requested. Jim Falconer will be there to represent the Club.
  5. next match = blue border last match = red border same as its always been
  6. as is this and for those that go on P&B, this is also good
  7. :003: grassy *** - great goals .
  8. only available to viewers in UK :008: :019:
  9. Personally, I have always been of the opinion that Charlie Christie was a great player, and a thoroughly decent bloke. He was thrust into management when he didnt really want it, but the lure of managing a team he had been with since it was formed, as well as persuasion and good words about his ability from people in the game he himself trusted and admired made him take the job. The stats show that Charlie didnt do a bad job, his record was as good as the other two who had managed us in the SPL (JR & CB) but the very slow start to this season and - if we believe what we hear - behind the scenes politics as well as family pressures became too much for him in the end. He is and always will be an ICT legend. Brewster has made an immediate impact, that cannot be doubted. 6 games, 4 wins, 2 defeats, and for the last 3 games, perhaps more, a flair about the side that is encouraging. There is a long way to go and this could be a false dawn but how is it that he is getting so much more from the very same players ? For me, I think it is two-fold. Firstly, I dont think Charlie was as ruthless as Brewster can be and certain players may have taken their places for granted and just gone through the motions. Secondly, and no-one ever disagreed about this, Brewster is a fitness nut and this was an area where we were starting to look like we had lost it a little. Combine these two factors along with the notion that everyone has a clean slate (Morgan for example) and we see a team that is now scrapping for points the way it used to and players who know that they have to perform or they dont play. A little bit of luck as previous posters have said also helps !!!
  10. For once in his life (or maybe a few more times than that) I think you will find that the post attributed to the "web persona" called Immortal Howden Ender [iHE], is actually from the "real person", Johndo. He has not come on blaming everyone but himself for the situation he found himself in, he has put his hands up to his behaviour being a reaction to what was said to him especially given his apparent selection as a person who should be targetted for removal. I am sure he is also big enough and ugly enough to deal with whatever repercussions there may be. Plenty of people have expressed support for him and have borne witness as to their opinion of his demeanour, behaviour, and level (or lack thereof) of intoxication. If Johndo has been charged, I would caution people to be careful in what is said as it is a 'criminal matter' until such time as it has been dealt with. Moderators can and will edit/remove postings if required in the same way as we had to do with both the Richie Hart and the recent Arbroath incidents. I would recommend that you contact Johndo privately if you have anything legitimate to say to him that could be used in his defence rather than openly state it on here.
  11. Falkirk's goals came from Arfield and Milne ... when did we sign them ? ICT 0-3 Rangers (0 og / 0 pen) Well 2-1 ICT (0 og / 1 pen) St Mirren 2-1 ICT (0 og / 0 pen) ICT 0-3 Dundee Utd (0 og / 2 pens) ICT 3-1 Arbroath (0 og / 0 pen) Hibs 1-0 ICT (0 og / 1 pen) Celtic 5-0 ICT (1 og / 0 pen) ICT 2-1 Hearts (1 og / 0 pen) ICT 3-0 Gretna (0 og / 0 pen) ICT 4-2 Falkirk (0 og / 0 pen) So out of 20 goals scored against us this season - 4 have been from penalties and 2 have been own goals, Dont think that constitutes "half" or even "nearly half"
  12. This is all very encouraging to hear. We were quick to lambast him when he did have a poor attitude or exhibited extreme petulance so fair play to him for knuckling down and letting his skill do the talking instead of his gob .... long may it continue.
  13. Denzil's on fire ... who said he was sheeite :015: 4-2 now what a day for a feckin radio blackout ... the BBC didnt even bother letting us listen to the half time reports (which they normally do) - just left the "...for contractual reasons, we cannot bring you this program ..." loop playing endlessly.
  14. there is none - I have ranted about this at length but its a bloody joke. The solution ... ICT need to get their own media rights up and running EVERY other PTV site has it !!!!!
  15. Nice one Denzil :015: :015: :015: No coverage outside UK today for ANY match !!! Motherwell V Rangers - [Rangers use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Aberdeen V Gretna - [Aberdeen use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Celtic V Dundee Utd - [Celtic use their own media rights on website and block BBC] ICT V Falkirk - [Falkirk use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Hibs V Kilmarnock [both clubs use their own media rights on website although only Killie block BBC] St Mirren V Hearts - [Hearts use their own media rights on website but only block BBC when playing at Tynecastle]

  17. I was beginning to type a similar response but then stopped myself after thinking about it. The club used to do it but stopped when they were faced with a minute's silence almost every week !!! Sometimes it was legitimate, being for officials or employees, or former players of one of the clubs but at other times it was for public figures, politicians, or even for fans with at best a tenuous link to the club. Initially, I was all for saying that it should be done on a case-by-case basis but who should decide whether this fan or that fan was a good fan, deserving of such an honour, and which fan's families should be refused because we cant do it every week ? I think - as hard as it may seem - that a program entry and no minute's silence is appropriate
  18. Wouldn't dream of moving it ! I believe Dr Smith was also assisted by Derick MacLeod in trying to save him. Sad indeed that he didnt make it. Condolences to his family.
  19. ok, can we get back on-topic now ? another thing that bugs me is threads getting taken off-topic :004:
  20. with or without a mirror ? :010:
  21. 1. ok thats one of the two admins upset .... (the other agrees with you) 2. ok thats one of the mods upset .... (the others probably agree with you too) 3. ok thats the rest of the mods/admins upset .... just leaves Guzz and Maimie on your side :015: :015: :015:
  22. According to dictionary.com 4. Slang: Disparaging. a. a mentally retarded person. b. a person who is stupid, obtuse, or ineffective in some way: a hopeless social retard. origin: from the latin tardus meaning slow
  23. could have been .... I bumped into this guy outside Toronto FC's stadium !!!!! Maybe not that surprising as he is a well know Sheff Wed fan !
  24. nothing in there now anyway - we stopped adding pictures as an article and moved them all to gallery ........ will disable the link. however - to give you an answer on why that message appears it is because you are not logged into the main site. When we were having our major brainfart problem we decided to make all pages on the main site "public" pages so no more pages that are only viewable by registered users. Because of this we removed the login box on the main site and just left it on the forum. I will add a login box back to the very bottom of the page on the homepage only - just in case anyone gets this problem again - but please note, it will not log you into the forum as one of the speed issues we encountered was because of the integration between site and forum logins and we removed that !
  25. Good idea, it's time we had a bit of a laugh. But I can exclusively reveal (even CaleyD doesn't know this yet and he's the driver :015:) The Innes bus for the Gretna game will be a 'WEAR IT PINK BUS' :rotflmao: Saturday 27th Oct is the annual Wear it Pink day for Breast Cancer. So can you make your fancy dress a pink one. :rotflmao: Aberdeen game is closer to Halloween but I don't know how many will be going to that one. Sorry CaleyD - do you have a pink bus drivers uniform or is that too personal a question. Think Don has it covered ... depending on how many book he has two busses in mind ..... I hear he likes this one for some reason .... [attach=1] but is more likely to end up with this one [attach=2] Matt Lucas also offered him a uniform, but the romper suit was unavailable ..... and for the ladies .....
