Top 6 peeps!!!!!! Does anyone think that we can hold on to it until the split? Be magic if we could! :021:

I can't believe that was 8 years ago! I was standing in the queue at the turnstile when they called the game off. I was only 14 and my dad said I couldn't go to the replay cos it was on a school night. Many paddies ensued and he finally relented!! :015: I remember sneaking out of school at lunch to get the bus down the road. I did that much screaming and singing, I lost my voice for a 4 days!!! One of my best memories ever! :crazy07:

Unfortunately, I have a season ticket for the main stand; sitting in the rows behind the hospitality boffs. 9 games out of 10 this season the hospitality section in front of us has been packed with away supporters. During the first Rangers game of the season 7 guys in front of us were sitting drinking whisky out of a hipflask. I signalled to a steward AND a policeman who were standing directly in front of them and pointed at the hipflask while one of them was drinking from it. Both just looked at me, the steward shrugged his shoulders then continued to watch the game. During a Dundee Utd game near the start of the season, when DU scored the row in front of us leapt to their feet and started with the hand gestures to their fellow supporters in the north stand. Someone behind us yelled at them to remember which stand they were in. The guy in front of us thought that it was me and my partner that had shouted at him and threatened to "deck" us right there and then. At this point it was nearly the end of the game and I just wanted to go home. I wrote a letter to Mr Savage the next day and I'm still to hear from anyone. I've supported ICT since the merge and I hate the fact that I am made to feel threatened and intimidated in my home ground. It pains me to say this, but I am seriously considering not renewing my tickets next year. :007:

Sorry! :015: :015:

Definitely liking the "Clan/Clansmen" idea. :022: I'm only 22 and I still associate the word ultra with violence - thanks to Football Factories on the tv! I'd hate for the club and/or the fans to be associated with anything like that. As already mentioned on this post, we're always being ribbed about how we never come up with anything original. I think this is a great way to show our individuality. How about something that uses Inverness in the title so that people less familiar with the club and its surrounding area know who we are; like the Inverness Impavids or something like that...??? :017: Just a suggestion! :001:

Supported ICT since the merger, but due to my partner and my dad both being diehard hibees, I've started taking a bigger interest in Hibs now and they play some cracking football when they're on their game. We still sit at opposite ends when the hibees come up to Inverness though! And I'm still getting grief for Saturday's result! :029:

Tokely the moose strikes again and gives away penalty against Lee Miller. 1-0 aberdeen

Aberdeen are all over niculae by the sounds of things...

Last Christmas, we stuffed ye like turkey and the very next game, we did it again This year, to save you some tears, why don't you s'pport Caley Thistle

I've never booed the team while they were warming up or playing; but I can understand why people hurl abuse at players. I'll openly admit to having done this myself, but through frustration more than anything. When we're playing absolute gash, I know the team can perform better and it winds me up. When I was at school, we were always told by our footy coach "if you give away possession, you get up off your arse asap and you bloody well fight for it back". And it annoys me to see players just standing there looking amazed that someone has taken the ball from them or when the arms go up like they're about to burst in to the YMCA. You lost the ball mucker - get it back!!! I think that's one of the few things that kicks off my tourettes. It's just infuriating when you're on a low income and you sacrifice other things to make sure you can make the games every week and they put on a poor performance. I know that everyone has their off days and I know that it's not fair to yell abuse at players but, as previously said, heat of the moment has a lot to answer for! Right, rant over! :011:

Certainly wouldn't have Burns after the comments he made last time we were looking for a manager!! :33:

ICT will sorely miss DP. I did think he hadn't been his usual self on the touchline. Best of luck to you Mr Park. We salute you! :022::clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :022:

Do you know what it has been changed to? I read that it was on 16th December at 2pm. Is that still right???? I need to book the time off work!!! :017:

I agree - football should be at 3pm. One aspect to look at is that the later the game is, the more time people have to get fuelled up on drink which inevitably causes more fights.

Couldn't agree with you more Scotty. A blind man and his dog could see that that was NEVER a free kick to the Italians. I've even read in the papers that the Italians themselves agree with us that it shouldn't have been a free kick to them. The bit that really gets me thinking something doesn't add up is that it's been reported the ref had an Italian strip in his bag at the airport. Ok, part of me agrees, it could be completely innocent - a souvenier of the game. However the other part of me is now more convinced than ever that someone wanted Italy to win that game on Saturday. On a more positive note though, I'd just like to pass on my congratulations to the boys in blue. They did us proud and we got a lot further than most people thought we would. The Italians were wasting time from early on in the game - and if we can reduce the World Cup winners to that, then God help the rest of the nations when we make it to the World Cup.vv :crazy07: Mon the boys in blue!!!!!!!!

Still not sure he's the right man - his inexperience shows in some of his decisions. I just hope he learns from these mistakes - and fast!!! :017:

You mean IHE could get thrown out on Saturday and Mike Smith could end up in the slammer..? :024:

I'm just concerned that if the stewards aren't licenced on Saturday and they do eject someone (for a change) and that person knows his stuff, that the club will suffer for it. From what I've heard, these fines can some times carry a jail sentence with them as well. I don't know if this is just people gettin over excited or what, but it's not exactly going to look great if our Powers That Be are in the slammer!! :018:

From the SIA website: "The licensing authority may choose to license a complete event, stadium or venue. This would require all those undertaking licensable manned guarding activities to be licensed as door supervisors, unless exempted in connection with a certified sports ground or stand." The Scottish Executive ruled that there would be no exemptions in Scotland.

As you all probably know, the new security industry licensing laws came in to play on November 1st. As a result of this, all of Rock Steady's staff have to be SIA licensed for this Saturday's game. I've been hearing that none of Rock Steady's stewards actually have said licence. What if they have to eject someone from the ground on Saturday? I'm told if this happens the club will face a hefty fine. Can we afford to lose money in such a way? :024:

Got to agree with you on that one Alex. With all due respect, what is the point in having a disabled section that is designed for the less able, if the less able do not use it? Again, not wanting to rub anyone up the wrong way, and I'm glad the lad got something from Caley in way of apology, but they did offer free tickets for the disabled section free of charge which were then turned down by the family. :029:

Definitely change the caterers! I'm fed up of waiting in a queue and missing the start of the 2nd half only to be told that they've sold out of pies!!! :019: They ALWAYS have macaroni pies though - does this not tell them something - no1 likes them!!! Steak pies all the way!! Would the wee portable tv's down by in the food bits be a reasonable request, so we can see what we're missing at the start of the second half? :029:

Saw this on the Hibs website and wondered what chants others might have heard Taken from the BBC: To the French "We're gonna deep-fry your croissants!" "What the **** is Va Va Voom?!" "It's just a big ******* pylon!" (while standing underneath the Eiffel Tower) And finally: We hate coca-cola We hate fanta too We are the tartan army And we love Irn Bruuuuu!!!!

Cracking idea!! I've worked in the Eastgate over Christmas and it's so busy it's actually a little scary - and that's coming from a female shopper!! (The grannies are the worst with those ridiculously oversized handbags - WTF have they got in there??? Their grandkids??) If the club sold shirts from one of these stands they would make an absolute killing. I know money burns a hole in my pocket and I'd rather spend my money on ICT stuff than wasting it on a ridiculously over-priced ice cream from B&J! :021:

That's pretty bad if the club won't number shirts anymore! :024: You have to wonder why they would turn down extra revenue like that?? As tesco would say - Every Little Helps!! And TheresNoEsInBlack, can you get me a job there too mate??? :crazy07: I still don't understand why we have a Rangers shop in Inverness but no ICT shop. Wouldn't have to be big or smack bang in the centre of town or anything like that, just a wee shop with some tops and other merchandise - the impulse buying throughout the week would drastically increase compared to an hour before and fifteen minutes after a match on a Saturday, surely??? :017:
