Scotty

just posted all the info I had. If you have any queries try tickets@ictfc.co.uk

I guess we will see if he is in the lineup tomorrow .... If he has asked to be rested then it would not only be uncharacteristic but also disappointing. With the exception of a couple of games at the start of the season, Dods has behaved very professionally on the park and this doesnt ring true.

not sure if you are winding us up or not .... but the player does exist :004: .... maybe thats you with the orange jacket in picture 1 http://ks.samara.ru/cgi-bin/sostav.cgi [attach=1] [attach=2]

I concur .... when first reading this thread i thought .... F*** !!!!!!! Graham is probably not regarded by other teams as one of the top 10 or even 20 strikers in the SPL, but he does do something we have always liked to see at ICT ... he gives 100% effort in every game and scores a few goals in the process. He had a lot of doubters last season, and still has a few but his recent performances have been excellent and we need him up front tomorrow. I would like to see McSwegan get a full 90 alongside him if we play the regular 442, but if not then maybe a similar lineup to last week might work with Bayne as lone striker feeding off an attacking midfield ...... oh and a focus for 90 minutes instead of 85

Its Roy McBain who is suspended after picking up his 7th yellow of the campaign in a recent match. Graham Bayne is on 3 yellows as mentioned above.

Only registered users can vote and admin have additional options that allow us to make sure the same IP address isnt used multiple times and see who voted for who .... we can use this to filter out any inconsistent votes - like someone voting for the same player 3 times etc etc etc. As for numbers, we have 23 voters for the cup game .... while thats not a huge number out of a 7k crowd, we cant force people to vote and it is still more interactive than most other methods employed to pick the recipients of many of the end of season awards.

and has been sponsored by the website and then the Internutters for many years ....... nice one Grant .... 200 more (at least) after this weekend :003:

I fall into all of the categories I mentioned above (including being one of the first few registered users on the official site) and havent been able to register for any newsletters, or even find where to adjust my profile or enable new options that werent available at launch (like newsletters) ..... cant help thinking the club are missing the boat a little on that front.

not shareholders, centenary club members or registered website users ? ..... thats pretty short-sighted !!!

Might well be. can someone post the link where you can subscribe to this newsletter ?? I have had a look round the official site and I am damned if i can find it .......

Welcome aboard .... enjoy !!!

At great risk of opening up this debate again ... I would just note that the fans of the club were asked by the board whether they wanted to change the team name to Inverness, Inverness City or something like this just a few years ago and the overwhelming feeling seemed to be that, although the club was still very young, much 'history' had already been written for Caley Thistle and the suggestion was rejected out of hand by the fans. I would also question exactly what Inverness has done for ICT to deserve the honour of the club changing its name to just Inverness ? Caley Thistle's exploits have done a lot for the profile of the town/city in the media, but I dont recall much being done for the club .... and before anyone says it, the 900k we received ended up costing us a lot more and earning the town/city bucketloads more than they spent by opening up hundreds of acres of industrial land courtesy of the stadium road. I read the following article and thought that it was SPOT ON

Yes, and I was successful until you mentioned him ..... :017: :017: :017: Didnt think your comment was racist in the slightest, merely espousing my own opinion which is that "If a player is good enough then that is all that matters and his background, religion, ethnicity, nationality or anything else thats not directly related to his football skills matters not a jot"

Call them Caley, call them Thistle, call them Caley Thistle ... I dont really care, but if this subject reared its ugly head again because of the conversation on another thread then as far as the website is concerned we will continue to use ICT, Inverness CT, Caley Thistle or the full name when writing articles, polls or anything else .... to do otherwise just fills up our inbox with complaints ... petty or otherwise.

definitely interesting ..... Whilst the backbone of the team will undoubtedly remain primarily Scottish and probably 'Highland' for years to come due to the club's current size and the often used 'geography' excuse it is refreshing to think that there are no barriers (other than wages) to signing any player who might be willing to come to us. I also thought the signing of Juanjo was significant as it went outwith the bounds of parochialism that we seemed to have in years gone by .....

HC - i think the politically correct term has reverted to 'black' as opposed to 'coloured' ... at least it has over here. Leaving semantics aside, to answer your question, I believe he would be the first black player to pull on an ICT shirt, certainly in the first team for sure. At the end of the day, if a player is good enough thats all that matters and his background, religion, ethnicity, nationality or anything else thats not directly related to his football skills matters not a jot. (not that I am saying you are suggesting otherwise).

This even made it to 'Talk Radio' over here .... was listening to the story as I drove home last night. Most callers to the program thought that both the child and mother needed help and there was an even split between those who thought the child should be removed and those who thought it would be counter productive. The way it was worded over here was ... "Is it child abuse ?"

.... funnily enough, I actually visited the Bovine quite a few times before I moved here as the hotel i stayed in on my visits here was reasonably closeby. I havent been in there in about 2 years though. Its a great place, very strange and eclectic, punk rock music some nights, country and western on other nights and some very strange but funny events are always being organised. Its definitely a 'cult' clientele and the owner told me he added 'sex club' to the name of the place when he bought it so he could draw a crowd .... it worked !!! Queen Street is a very strange place ... lots of 'hippy' like shops selling hemp products, bongs, and such like mixed in with swanky bars and outright dives. One of the things i remember about the place is that it has hundreds of (empty) bottles of Jagermeister lining the walls .... if the owner buys you a drink its always a shot of Jagermeister. If you have never had it, it tastes like cough syrup except that it blows your head off !!!! Daryl - the owner [attach=1] Busy Bar with all sorts of strange things hanging from the ceiling [attach=2] Daryl wearing one of my T-Shirts ... His surname is 'Fine' and my T-Shirt said 'really I'm Fine' with a picture of a dead (or drunk !!) cow (Bovine) on it .... appropriate for the place. .... If you notice the t-shirt hanging behind him, you might recognise it in the next pic. [attach=3] Safe and sound back in Inverness after adventures in the Bovine [attach=4]

how far we have come ........ At the risk of being accused of having a 'small team mentality' I find it somewhat unbelievable (although understandable) that we are all so down talking about losing 1-2 to the league champions 'elect', a team full of multi million pound 'stars' where one player costs and is paid more than our entire squad and a team which held the mighty European giants AC Milan to a 0-0 draw in their last game. It was very similar to the last time we played Celtic in the cup at the TCS, Celtic faced ICT sandwiched in between domestic games against Rangers and European games against Liverpool. ICT were the only one of these sides who managed to knock them off their game (and out of the cup). No matter how close we came we simply cannot win every time and sadly this is what happened yesterday. As a famous pundit once said "Its a funny old game ..." even when we are trying desperately to hold back the tears of disappointment. However - don't get me wrong, I share the pain and feel just as downhearted as those who were actually there yesterday. I got up at 6:30AM and after being really peeved that the website was down, I scouted around the rest of the web and Canadian cable TV to try and find any method of watching or listening to the game. This of course met with no success (but thats another subject) so I was forced to use the BBC and SKY live (text) update services and just about woke up the whole neighbourhood when Graham Bayne scored. Without the benefit of TV pictures or audio I was also bemused at the substitutions but thought 'OK, CC and DP have a game plan'. As i was making a coffee just minutes before the end (in my nice ICT mug) I mumbled to myself that when i refreshed the BBC page it would probably show a late goal for Celtic as we seem prone to losing late goals and they have a habit of scoring them. Sure enough, when i got back in front of the PC, the next screen refresh confirmed my worst fears ... and a subsequent refresh left my weekend in tatters. I did not function well for the rest of the day yesterday and still find it hard to believe we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. From what I have read, it seems that the players gave their all - the scoreline up until the last few minutes seems to confirm this - but in the end, Celtic's 90 minute football was better than our 85 minute version. Mistakes were obviously made, and these mistakes were not only expensive emotionally (for players and fans alike) but also financially and I hope that lessons have and will be learned. I salute the team for the first 85 but please, please, please work on defending a lead in the last 5 as the game is not over until the final whistle blows. For all his faults, Craig Brewster did have us playing for the full 90 and we need to get back to that.

McDonald is a crap ref every day ... we have encountered him enough to know he isnt biased just s***

... and he hasnt scored in the last 3 games so he's due one !!!!! .... I BELIEVE ....

IHE - if you think I cant work that out ...... Tu es stultior quam asinus jebi se cepec :004: and in english ..... moving this to anything goes
