Like KoB I was hearing this story today.

Of course, you'd be welcome late or not. Hopefully see you there, Buffy.

I agree and I think Hearts targeted Black and his temper from the off today. I think it was Kingston who pole-axed him after about a minute and should have been booked. Well done for keeping the head, Blackie.

Aye, very good but his excitement may have got the club into hot water with the beaks in Glasgow who, I'm reliably informed, are expressing displeasure at the number of times fans enter the pitch at TCS. This has mainly been at the away end in the past but it doesn't matter what end really as ICT are still responsible. Get it into your heads people, if you keep breaking the rules and ignoring the warnings there are going to be consequenses for you and your team.

Thank you, Mantis, so definitely two different trophies.

Yes, it looks black to me. First log in to the site can be slow these days but after that it is ok for me.

Oh I give up! :015:

This the trophy I remember (courtesy of caledonianfc.co.uk). So what happened to this Victorian piece of silverware? [img width=500 height=334]

Has the North of Scotland Cup trophy changed? I seem to remember a far grander and more elegant piece of silverware.

Very enjoyable afternoon. Both sets of players deserve credit as they had played yesterday and another 120 minutes today was the last thing they needed. Dale Gillespie's winner was a cracker - think Zidane for Real Madrid at Hampden and you won't be far wrong. McNulty looks like our most eccentric keeper since Jimmy Calder and must have been outside his box four or five times during the game. Liked the look of Jamie Duff who was captain and really seems to be coming on as a player.

No, Forres funnily enough.

I'll be there + 2 :001:

My arteries are narrowing just reading all of this. :015:

Actually, I think part of the old slaughter house remains. I was down that way today a couple of times and immediately behind the tyre shop on Lotland Street is a largish stone building on the same alignment as the slaughter house in the maps. Being made of stone, I think it would have had to have been there prior to the demise of Shore Street Park in the 30s. On CaleyD's plan, though, it would roughly sit in the town end penalty area of the ground. So perhaps we need to move Shore Street Park in roughly a straight line to just the other side of Lotland Street. Staying with the 1932 map it shows an interesting insight into the birth of Dalneigh. Houses have been built on Bruce Gardens, Smith Avenue and Dalneigh Crescent but Victoria Park is still there. Interestingly, this map (and the 1930 one) show paths through the Park on the line of what became Maxwell Drive and Lindsay Avenue. I wonder were there paths on these lines or do these lines just represent the proposed creation of these streets. A very ornate bandstand too, the foundations of which may be in someone's back garden.

Well done T_B_B! I'm sure I read Bill McAllister's book all those years ago but these excerpts tells us a lot. Perhaps we should now take on the mantle of the Sheep Bags. :015: I commend this page to anyone interested Click Here Some gold about Citadel and the other Inverness clubs. I didn't know regimental clubs played in the Highland League. I suppose it depended on who was based at the Cameron Barracks or Fort George. I love how the RAF played four games in 1939-40 before war was declared and then never played in the Highland League again.

Funnily enough, I remember a Highland League select playing a Scotland XI at Kingsmills in the run up to the 1978 World Cup. The Scotland XI was made up of real fringe players and in the deep recesses of my mind I think it may have been a 2-2 draw. Was anyone else there?

All in all a good day for Scotland I would say.

Well, Thistle FC did have a table but I'm not sure what colours they play in these days.

We should hold up cards giving him marks for his dives. 5.9 5.8 5.8 6.0 5.8 etc etc

Ewan Wotherspoon was at the event taking photos and I'm sure we'll take possession of them first week and can let you see them. We will also get a full report of the evening put together very shortly for you as well. Heilandee, thanks for the kind words. I thought it was marvellous that we had both a light blue and a dark blue contingent there.

In case any of you are wondering, the first five inductees to the ICT Hall of Fame are Alan Hercher, Mike Noble, Bobby Mann, Mike Teasdale and Jimmy Calder. The first four were able to attend to pick up their awards but Jimmy Calder was on holiday and his son picked up the award on his behalf. However, he was able to send us all a message from "the beach".

A crazy question. I'm passionate about both.

It was witty, well put together, pulled no punches and irreverent. Still have about half of them myself. Not sure ICTFC would cope as well now with a similar type publication as Caley did all those years ago. How about getting them all on-line, Mantis? Not that I'm trying to work you hard or anything. People would be thrilled to see me dancing the highland fling in my kilt again. :015:
