old caley girl

Im with ICTChrus!

Hamilton - everything about them! Celtic and their "carry on" esp this season and then the of together for thinking that they are the only ones that matter and should do whatever suits them for games/league size etc Man City for thinking that all that matters is how much you can pay for success (could poss have added a few others in this catagory in England). Finally Aberdeen for not realising that we are now in another century and its not the 1980's anymore.

I know irs bad but it was the only thing that cheered me up yesterday. whar goes around comes around eh

Thought Pernis was injured? Not stopped him making a great save....

Rooney off (?) MacDonald on

think you are right. Oh well onward and upwards for the 2nd half.

What is it about us losing goals just on half time? :irritated:

Barrowboy scores for County :irritated:

According to rado Scotland Nick Ross dropped and Shane Sutherland on the bench. Eric on from the start (?) and Jonny on from the start (hurrah). Come on Caley Jags!!!!

Agree with Caley D head says Esson fair play gene says Tuffey. I suspect it may be JT as I think it may have been agreed that he would get the cup games. Well we will find out soon - interesting one.

Like it Yimp! Hope Terry pins this article up in the dressing room on wednesday. Danny Lennon could use if for motivation against the dons too.

Well done Davie and also to St Mirren. Looks like the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Could be sky Sports 1 Paul? Same listing as Sky Sports News at the mo.

rumour has it they are enjoying the hospitality of the Kingsmills Hotel till Tuesday and not going home after all!

This interesting Charles - never realised the men only vote re the Jags. As we are talking about fairly recent history Im surprised the vote was legal. Never realised that sexism was rampant at Kingsmills - was always welcomed and treated well when visiting the boardroom with Caley. The first meeting at the Muirtown was different to the rest, much more business like and ordered.Members for and against the merger spoke their case and were listened to. The Rose St meetings were much different. Both sides and gained more support and members and yes there were folk there that I had never seen at the games before or probably since. However as Ive already stated Im now convinced the right thing happened. Smee I am convinced that Caley alone would not have received the same success as the merged team. Caley had spent a lot of time and energy looking for a suitable site to move to. One site identified was the ground below Charleston Academy and there was a public meeting re this as well and support was limited. The ground beside the Merkinch School and right along to Glendoe Terrace was looked at and Clach were very much against this move. Another option was the Canal Pitches and Charles might remember better than me that this option actually reached the Council as I remember attending a council meeting at the Town House. There was little spport outside the club for Caley to go it alone.

Fair enough I appreciate your input and that is why I started the thread as I wanted opinions from football people like yourself who were about at the time of the merger I take it your brother and his mate just stopped attending football altogether? dougal Yeh they just do Scotland games now.

Dougal you are wrong. I still see a lot of fans now that I knew then around the TCS. charles is right in that a lot have now died and at first I think a lot did stay away but eventually a lot drifted back. I voted for option one in the poll as I dont think there are many of the diehard refuseniks left. My brother and his mate are part of this group and there are a few guys that post on pie and bovril but I think a lot just moved on. I dont really think a lot of folk care about old history anymore. My kids certainly dont. Personally I just like the fact that the Caley name is still alive and well and remember the HL days as being fun but I was very young them. I dont think that Caley would have achieved as much on their own personally as ICT have.

1 no 2 no 3 yes 4 no 5 I attended all the meetings at the time - it all seems a bit sureal now 6 started off anti but voted yes in the end.

Totally disagree with Dougal (but thats not exactly a first!). Like it or not the fact is and cannot be changed that our club was formed with a merger of two old and proud clubs.I agree with Caley D that it is a shame that this is not celebrated.
