Give the wee man a break - he passed his driving test today. :clapping03:

Does IHE in a jaggy tie count as a cross dresser?

I think it might.  :015:

The panel for the football forum  is now known

Malky Thomson - ICT Assistant Manager

Alec Cleland - ICT Youth Coach

Stephen Kasiewicz - P&J's main man covering ICT

Dave McGinlay - ex-ICT and now with Touchline magazine

Should be an interesting evening.

Jock McDonald, Norman Miller, Fiona Larg and Norman Cordiner amongst others.

Arthur Fraser had the job before Hugh Watt.  I remember noticing a few years ago that the chaplain had his own marked seat in the main stand.  Unfortunately, it was spelt Chaplin - as in Charlie!    Wonder is it still like that.

Juanjo's still here due to personnal issues with his property here. He went back to train with Ross County this week & they've offered him a two year deal. They're having more talks on Thursday but he hopes to return to Spain on Saturday with the news for his wife that he's signed for Ross County.

Brewster is really keen on Juanjo but wants to look at other targets before making a final decision, he has been told he's on the radar but he respects Juanjo will sign for a club if they make him a good offer.

For the record, county's wages are on a par with Inverness. County offered him a much bigger basic than what Inverness were paying him 2 years ago.

It would appear the gudgie cofs are no wiser after their recent financial woes. 

Gudgieville aka Cabbage Town and occasionally known as Dungwall.

I mean Dingwall

No, I don't!  :001:

I spent the first ten years of my work life working for the TSB.  Most of the time spent on the corner of Union Street and Church Street but with occasional trips to Nairn, Invergordon, Tain, Gudgieville, Aviemore, Kingussie and Grantown.  Even got as far as Perth once.

As the TSB never issued their own notes we used to have to acquire them from another bank, so two of would walk around to the BofS on High Street, fill a couple of suitcases with around ?80,000 of used notes and then walk back again.  This was done most days by the same route at about the same time and nobody ever bothered us.  Eventually, Securicor took on the job depriving me of a bit of a skive.

A mascot's for life not just for Christmas.  :007:

Wonderful stuff.

When will the first ICT game after the split take place?  Is it 12-13th April which is Cup semi final day? 

Late 60's maybe 1970 - Caley 4 Lossie 2

Thought all our best performers were in defence and we rarely threatened at the other end.  As has been mentioned Celtic had Sno playing but also a very uninterested looking Riordan and their new striker Ben Hutchison who scored a good second goal.  Apart from that it was what you expect from a Celtic second string - a Diarmid, a Ryan and an O'Somebody.

Glad to hear that MS got in touch with you C4L.  Go see him and talk it through.

Another one to watch out for in the future is large surf banners.  I believe the local police do not want to see them at the TCS because there was once an incident in the away end ( I think) when a smoke bomb was let off underneath one which I suppose could cause problems.  Thought I would mention it in case any of you Ultra boys were thinking of investing in such a thing.

I'm very surprised we dont have a Sutherland avenue yet  :024:

but Smithton does have a Murray Road.  Sutherland Boulevard would have a nice ring to it.

As I drive about the Sneck I'm constantly intrigued by some of our street names.  For example, so many are named after fields that it paints a much more rural picture compared to the Inverness of today.  I'm not pretending this list is exhaustive but...

Fairfield

Planefield

Bellfield

Damfield

Annfield

Mayfield

Caulfield

Morningfield (a recent addition)

Springfield

Drumfield

Also, who are some of our streets named after?  Some would seem to be named after old provosts - Provost Smith, Grigor and Mackay spring to mind.  Is it just a matter of time before we have Coffin John Crescent?  However, who was Greig and who were Maxwell, Smith and Lindsay to have streets in the same vicinity named after them?

Upstairs in Littlewoods also sold records at one time but TORS was certainly the place to be seen.

I'd certainly forget Dorrans now

Sounds good to me.  His honest approach to post match interviews will be welcome again.  Shame about the one rather obvious drawback, though, as Yngwie has suggested.

I believe Russell's wage has been pretty poor even by ICT standards so I don't blame him for holding out for the club's best offer.  Hopefully, it can be sorted out soon.

and you could have it in any colour you liked just as long as it was silver gray.

SMEE - Not a chance!

Since the formation of Caley Thistle I've lived some of my footballing dreams.  Twenty years ago I could never have imagined I would see a team from Inversnecky beat Celtic and Rangers.  Don't get me wrong, I loved growing up watching football in the Highland League but Caley and Thistle got out at a good time.  Sometimes I think the younger generation of ICT fans don't appreciate the enormity of what has been has been achieved since 1994.

I was at Huntly and it was the unhappiest day I ever spent watching Caledonian FC.  I was quite excited about the merger and never felt my team was being killed off, rather developing into something bigger and better, which has proved to be the case.  The behaviour of some Caley fans was embarrassing particularly because they spoilt what was a gala day for Huntly who had just won the Highland League for the first time in donkeys years.

A day I'd rather forget.

On a serious note( for a change) it's worth a few quid to go through the skid car training through in Elgin,my Brother in law's the instructor,  and it lets you find out what happens in a controlled environment

Skid car training

A good suggestion

:015: you may be right!
