Bryan Munro is the man. I'm sure the club would pass any communication from you on to him

It is going to be an interesting period ahead. It's hard to see a quality candidate in Scottish Labour to replace Jack McConnell and Alex Salmond appears to be a popular First Minister so far. The Nats clearly have a lot of people to convince regarding the benefits of Independence and I suspect it will never be an overnight thing but more of a drip, drip happening. The rise of English nationalism will be a key factor over time, I'm convinced. THe Unionist parties need to start coming up with some serious arguements in favour of the Union and drop the passports at the border, splitting up families, won't be able to see East Enders nonsense. Time will tell whether they learned their lesson on May 3rd that the Scots are not so dumb as to be frightened by scaremongering. So, Alex Salmond wants a big conversation. He seems to be getting it - we're talking about it here after all. :003:

Here is another example of a similar situation which recently came good in the end. If ICT go about things properly there is a good chance this should come to a satisfactory conclusion. Click

The Phillie Phanatic is the best mascot I've ever seen. Hugely entertaining.

I suspect it may have to go to some appeal or tribunal process and the speed with which that can be convened may be a factor.

If you could connect Wilsy and Kevin's heads with a bit of string they'd make a great set of clackers. Did someone else confirm the identity of the man in the red tie?

Out for a month or so I believe. My guess is it happened at Keith where he was liming slightly and got subbed.

RiG, you've been living in the Orient for far too long if you can understand what kids in Peterhead are saying. Time to come home, sonny.

Yep, got a car load going.

Good grief, lens envy! :015:

I am reliably informed by the Trust's crack team of sales executives that they expect the SOLD OUT signs to go up on this event in the next week or so. So if you fancy going don't hang about!

Liked the look of Dean McDonald who looks very good and pacey with the ball at his feet. Nearly had a hat-trick but hit the bar from way out. He might be wee but he's as broad as he's long - a true umpa lumpa! I thought Barry was outstanding before the break, totally running the show, but he slowed right down afterwards. Great to see some old Caley players on the field at half-time for a penalty competition. Well done Wilsy, Kevin, Kenny, Bob & Doc. Somewhere up in the sky of IHE's imagination the Howden End was watching.

I wouldn't count on it. The club Chairman said that he hoped to have it on place by then but gave no guarantees that it would.

FAO The Mantis You'll certainly want to be in Keith. P&J reporting that half time entertainment is a five a side penalty shoot out contest between old Caley and Keith players. Representing Caley, I believe, are Wilson Robertson, Kevin Mann, Kenny Taylor, Bob Summers and John Docherty. Might be a day for a blue and white scarf instead of a blue and red one as ICT will probably be playing in green or purple.

Do whippets go free?

Only time will tell how good a move this is. Certainly ambitious, but I can only imagine what the feeling of the rest of the squad is. Imagine somebody comes into your workplace earning several times what you do to carry out the same job. How would you feel? On these terms Niculae will get no honeymoon period. If he doesn't deliver straight away he will feel the pressure. ICT badly needed to break their wage structure but this has smashed it on one player and I'm not convinved of the wisdom of that. I really hope this does work out as the consequences of it not working are serious. So, I'm afraid I'm not quite as excited as most of you.

Details now on official site and it's good news. :003: http://www.ictfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News...1073141,00.html

I'm still standing by Reg Dwight. :023: :023:

Just want to echo what Maimie has already said. A huge amount of effort is going into this evening and it will be spectacular with some great guests from ICT's past invited along. Email the trust at [email protected] if you have any questions or send me a PM. Voting should start next week.

Suzie was perhaps better known on the west side of the river as she lived in Dalneigh and would terrorise High School pupils with her brolly. Come to think of it, most of Inverness's worthies lived on the west side of the river. Another thing you don't see are Dr Barnardo papier mache cottage style collection boxes.

One Gills fan described him as an umpa lumpa! So, there's your Dean McDonald song.

I think you'll find the club will sell as many tickets as they can for this section for the games likely to sell out, but for other games against the Killies and Gretnas of this world anybody will be able to transfer across to this section from their seat elsewhere. There are to be 534 seats in six rows and the club hope to have it ready for the Rangers game.

Elvis is indeed alive and well and living on Hawthorn Drive. I think the owners of the old Jaggie tea hut just had the good sense to give it a coat of Cuprinol. It's still there. Didn't Inverness not empty to a much greater extent during the trades fortnight years ago than it does now? Wednesday half day closing. Does any place still do it?

As a fully paid up member of the SNP, naturally I'd vote for independence in any referendum. I agree that how Alex Salmond's executive perform will be a factor in any such vote, though perhaps it should not be as an independent Scotland could have a right wing. left wing or middle of the road administration. In fact what the role of the SNP might be in an independent Scotland is an interesting question. If Scotland is the "best small country in the world" as the old Labour executive insisted then it is a total nonsense that this same country could not take care of all its own affairs. The Danes, Irish and New Zealanders manage just fine and so could we. Independence would not cure all of Scotland's ills but the Union is creaking and looking more unsteady as the years go by. The English have every right to be unhappy about Scottish MP's voting on English issues at Westminster. English tories will inevitably became less Unionist over time as they waken up to the fact that Labour would find it very difficult to win a General Election without all the Labour MP's returned from Scotland. In fact I'm pretty sure that David Cameron would lose no sleep over Scotland voting "Yes" in any Independence Referendum though he might not admit to that. Indeed, the rise in English nationalism is one of the most exciting developments in the fight for Scottish nationalism.
