IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Could they be on the Subway to Heaven or the Road to Hell ?

And these two

Dougal and DalneighCaley

Well if it wasn't fer these two the dream may never have become reality - RESPECT

I never said that he was a pariah - you are casteing apersions Huckleberry Finn.

All sorted Sneckboy - Train from Chorley to Preston (quick libation) - Train from Preston to Warrington Quay (quick libation) - Train from Warrington Quay to Chester (quick libation) - Bus from Chester to Broughton (more relaxed but more intense libations). 61.6 miles. May actually consider a Highland March !!

There is a very similar thread so I will digress. My questions are: Do we go into the first European round playing ONLY players who have been with us over the season ? Shurely taking in somebody new at this juncture is too late. But that leaves us "strikerless" so can Ofere play on ? I feel that this competition is a place in history and a bonus (mainly for fans) and I really do not expect us to go any further (one round more would be a hell of an achievement)

They say that 53% of statistics are flawed but that is an interesting one. It clearly illustrates that we have become a Top Six team. We really are no one season wonders - and add to that three cup semi-finals on the trot and two finals in the last two seasons - well

This would never work plus am I not wrong that he is plagued by a long term back injury and that this is a contributing factor to not getting a renewed deal ??

I always felt that Sam Winnall was scorned due to an early fall out with Butcher. Judging by how he has developed after leaving us that is just another Butcher faux pas to add to a long list. Barnsley have had a recent reputation of playing football and after a terrible start to last season went on a great run, stuttered at the end and missed out on play offs. They will not be far this season. And here is what Lee Johnson had to say about his new signing: He's someone I've tracked for a long time," Johnson told barnsleyfc.co.uk. "I've liked the look of him for a while. He's a really good acquisition. He can take League One by storm. He's quick, mobile and strong. He's provided 25 goals for the team in assists and goals and that's been a really positive element of Inverness's fantastic season. He's got bits to improve on but he's got the attributes to succeed." "It's a whole package we've got as a Club, with our facilities, ambition and support. He had more lucrative options and we feel like we've won because he's chosen us. He had seven or eight offers on paper varying between the SPL, Championship and League One. I am really pleased to secure him. I think he could be a bit of an unknown quantity as clubs won't know a lot about him. He can hit the ground running. He has great running power and can hustle and get into dangerous areas through his physicality." Thank feck he never went to Aberdire and I think that for once somebody who has left us will make a bit of an impact Down South. It looks like he has done his homework and he may well have chosen the level, the team and the coach to give him every chance.

That last one - is that the next name for Rangers ?

Aaaaahhh - the Coia Bus

You raise two very important issues here Deano. In the case of Rangers and Celtic fans, Inverness is no different from other communities outwith Glasgow where they also proliferate. In Inverness, I believe there are two main reasons for this. Firstly, and this is a factor which applies across Scotland, Glasgow's toxic religious and political mix has, over many years, created two opposing sectors in society down there and these two football clubs have become conspicuous features of that divide. This has given these clubs sufficient critical mass for them to act as footballing black holes which drag in additional support from areas a long way away from Glasgow. The whole of Scottish football suffers from this. The second issue in Inverness is that until just a decade or so ago, the place didn't possess a major force in football. As a result, a lot of people could have their "big" team - usually the OF but possibly Aberdeen etc as well - and also their "wee" team, in other words lower league ICT or before that Jags or Caley. These could comfortably coexist. However now that ICT is also a "big" team some fans have had to make a choice and some of these have remained with their OF preferences. Hundreds of Invernessians regularly disappear down the road to Celtic Park and Ibrox, but I do believe that, as time has passed and ICT have become more successful, this unfortunate trend has already begun to dwindle. Evidence is largely anecdotal, but I think OF support in Inverness (especially Rangers for obvious reasons) is on the wane. Regarding the second issue of lower home gates now than several years ago, this is largely part of something that is happening across Scottish football, it's not just ICT. Football attendances do go in cycles and there are probably several reasons for the current downturn. I would include silly kick off times, unavoidably high prices, lack of personal funds after the recession began and competition from a range of non-football activities. So although ICT's success has provided motivation for more to attend, it has been difficult even to stand still against these other negative factors. Another key problem is the growth in support for English Premiership and European sides - especially with children. The club has done a power of work in this regard. I'm unsure about the short-term benefits, but I think going down the route of giving U16s free season books would be of benefit in the long term. The stay away merger population doesn't help either

TO NAELIFTS !!

I'll get ma boots out of the bin.

SMILE

Well yes - better wages but could they ever challenge Celtic - No. Sorry but I am going to boo these cnuts from now on - that is really not individual progression.

Then get yer spondoolachs on this pronto - Scottish Cup Winners 2029 - and I will be there

And

Well the cnuts in the suits had to get it right at some stage.

What ICT really need to be successful in Europe is a reliable paramedic and a psychologist - but feck knows where they will find them ?! - another great, emotional testament - can simply savour the feeling.

The Seer is seldom wrong in his psychological profiling

Have to concede that Richard Fairbrass probably is a glory Hunter.
