IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

The other way that ya could look at this is that the more we are ignored, the less the pressure and more of a boost to prove a point.

The signings of Vincent and Agadstein give Richie a freer role in central mid and gives us more options if games are going against us.

I would love to know how your 'current location' is pronounced! I'm assuming It's a real place and you weren't simply annoyed at being asked where you currently reside?! :)Fukuoka: Foo-koo-oh-ka. As an aside, the town/train station is Takeshita. (Ta-kesh-ta) Feck ya it and yer Take a shitta station

As far as I am concerned if we keep on winning then the media will come to us. There are many reasons fer low crowds at the moment and we should wait fer September and hopefully a "run" until then.

And can ya all remember how the original feckin "top of the league" thread panned out ?

Fer fecks sake I am in Gran Canaria via Charlton and we won 3 feckin NIL at home. Give me a fekcin smileymometer.

If anybody wants my flag then it can go to a worthy cause - I am too feckin old - or perhaps stay in the bar too long to be bothered with it - it is deffo fire retardant as I have set it on fire an weed on it and it goes out.

SHINE BRIGHT MIKEY DIAMOND, IN THE HOWDEN END IN THE SKY. Total feckin respect to a REAL ICT Legend

She hides where she wants, she hides where she wants - Mrs Junior Gringo hides where she wants. Did you mean 37 years ?

Sorry went to the pub when I got home - so that is the missus and you that cant understand the intentions !! As for the BM "questions" - Brill did now wrong and it was the first time that I saw him and I used the word cumbersome as I worry that hecan get down quick enuff for low shots and get up quick enuff to distribute quickly. Again I may be comparing him with the keepers of recent times and he is different - just wish that he was tested more. Williams again passed muster but did not put my heather on fire and he looked a wee bit starstruck at times. Vincent really did impress and I would say that he should be a deffo starter. Doran needs to be played in the owd Shinnie role as I really do not think that he has the pace to be a wide player.

Did'nt we have a lovely day, the day we went to Charlton, Riley and me, Zog,GJ and Adie - well that was as good an away day as I have enjoyed in feckin yonks. RESPECT to Red Card fer blogging the four hospitality spots. We saw more of Colin Powell than anyone else in the ground and the only negative was yon Jim Davidson constantly trying to sit with us and constantly asking fer photties and autographs. And feck me is Theo Foley still a hard man in his feckin seventies ?!! Never did find the Pickwick but found Donview and a few crew members in the Rose of Denmark although we missed the Antigallican becos of the EDL presence and simply flashed the kilts as we went past. Still we had to be sober (ish) and uphold the reputation of the club by hobnobbing in the Testimonial Suite. And the only thing that we can say about our accommodation and the environs in Woolwich Arsenal is feckin WOW. Saw more prossies in one Woolwich pub than we suspected in the whole of Soho. I hope somebody on YouTube has posted the clip off Red Card trying to feed the beggars apparently lactose tolerant dog with a cheeseburger and our spat with the Ascot returning Finnish females and their fascination hats !! Anyway to the game. That was as fine a performance in a friendly as I have ever witnessed from an Inverness team. We simply bossed the first half and Draper could have had a brace. We never really looked like conceding and the back four have really got it together. We played football throughout and a real passing game, although it was sideways, backwards and possession orientated at times. The second half was more even but again we always looked the more probable to nick it - and we did - although I thought that Dorans cross was out of play but it was a great finish from Meekings who had started the move with an interception in his own half. The away support was as vociferous as ever and it appeared that our Tremarco song was more welcomed than our Richie Foran ditty. And was it not great to see the 30 year plus/plus choir pumping out the Ultras signature tune without the feckin effort of jumping up and down. I would love to know what Terry said to the players at the end of the game as he appeared livid - or perhaps it was becos we had finished off the red wine in hospitality. But Terry did give Colin Powell an exclusive bottle of Glenfiddich. As fer the tactics it was mainly a 4-2-3-1 formation switching although we ended up with Polworth and McKay up front in a traditional 4-4-2 at the close. The following are marks out of five and I have been harsh - as it was my first view and I would really welcome any critical or accepting feedback. BRILL - 3 - Disapointed that he wasn't tested more than he was. To me he looks a tad cumbersome and that worries me as Ryan is still struggling. They were saying in hospitality that TB was interested in a goalkeeper loan from Charlton. Brill did not wrong but the jury is still out. RAVEN - 4 - Solid as ever and was never slow at coming forward. SHINNIE - 4 -There is only one Shinnie now and he wore the captain armband in a distinguished manner - he had a hard time from the pacy winger - called Chalky3 by Jim Davidson - but he looked like he had gained from the experience of howing to play such wingers. WARREN - 5 - as per Raven in solidity and he has really gelled with Meekings. Reminds me more and more of Colin Hendry. MEEKINGS - 5 - just pinched by MOM award for his contribution to the winning goal but equalled Warrenotherwise. WILLIAMS - 3 - Again not sure if he is a starter or a good bencher - would have liked to have seen him taking people on more and he looked out of place at times. DRAPER - 5 - Sorry but he always looks better when Foran is'nt there. Charlton fans to a man picked him out as being our best player but he was more like our most inspirational. VINCENT - 4 - Really impressed and he reminded me of a young Roy McBain with a tad more skill. Perfect combination with Draper in central midfield DORAN - 4 - Perhaps my expectation levels were too high but he Disapointed in some aspects. He is still carrying a bit of weight and he does not have the pace to compare him with Johnny Hayes. He does have a great touch but may not be the match winner that we were looking fer. POLWORTH - 4 - again very impressed but what and where is his best position. He really isn't suited to the wide berth and I don't think that he is a striker either. Unfortunately he may be a "reserve" for a few positions but that is a real plus. McKAY - 5 - poor wee Billy ran his feckin socks off with little support - which was the most worrying aspect of the day. As fer the subs - Ross may start against Midden but I look forward to seeing how the big Norwegian and the wee Irishman blend. Greenhalgh has a great touch but he is simply too lightweight other than being a "weapon" to unleash late doors.

Good comment from Tam Cowan in the Daily Retard - SHOCKED to hear Richie Foran of Caley Thistle spent a night in the cells after a fracas outside a nightclub in Inverness. I'd no idea there was a nightclub in Inverness.

Sent and cleaner than feckin ever before !!

How far down exactly ?

22 in September - 6ft 1in "striker". Was loaned out to Bath City and looked to have the real potential to break in to the Brighton first team this season. Appears to be a Poyet pick so that may be a reason for leaving or. Perhaps he just wants to be nearer to home !!

Alex Ferguson's reaction would be - how the feck did I wake up here - I will kill Butcher and his "try this wee Beaujolais".

He loves to press wild flowers, put on women's clothing and hang about in bars ?

Is the feckin Pickwick being picketed ?

Give me summat to do on the train to and from London this weekend - well summat else to do !!

"I've got to say I have to give a lot of credit to [development squad coach] Luke Williams ," he continued. "He started playing me as a wide striker and that suits me so much better. "I like to cut inside from the left and shoot. I've scored a lot of goals in the reserve team doing that.

That is really why it is all the more embarrassing - on paper the away teams should be on a par with fitness, confidence etc. and Hibs did also appear to prepare well for this game. I wonder how many of the 16,000 left at half time? I bet Lawrie Reilly was squirming in heaven.

Now a six foot plus striker signing would complete the squad.

Giraffes don't like swedes.

This was his best driven effort ever though:
