IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Most of what I have said has obviously had a wee touch of the olde sarcasm and wind up BUT I am privy to a lot of what is going on beyond the scenes and cannot say much more on a board like this, well not in so many words :004:. Some of the behaviour and antics of specific individuals and their so called agents this summer has been feckin terrible, in ICT terms, and I hope that the culprits are named and shamed in the future.

Which just goes to prove how feckin fast he was.

I hate to tell you all that I told you so BUT. :016: :016: BUT this is threatening to feck up our season now and that is no joke. I am reliably informed that Dods is the most irate about the whole thing whilst Dargo and Black are being more professional about it. I would NOT be surprised if Dods is not in the starting X1 on Saturday. :010: :010:

I for one am glad that the season is upon us and all these stupid rumours are put to feckin bed.

Feckin jealous bestards. On 22/07/06 Brew made his last move and it was not good enuff ... well after my warning. CC thought Campbell was a real promising youngster and wanted to hold on to him but the financial situation made that impossible. My big worry is ma latest info that suggests tha Dodsy is the one that is holding out the most.

Peter Paul is the new Lord Litchfield. The way he caught ma erse in the Kilmarnock light is feckin awe inspiring.

Hairy. My original post was clearly to inform the general public that Brewsters No 1 target was Ian Black. I am reliably informed that it was in fact my information and the emotional arousal that exuded that led to Black staying on. You should be offering me champagne.. or a cup of Earl Grey.

:003: I never noticed that.

And there is more :010: :010: And look at the Headline :015: :015: :015: 24 July 2006 FAMILY NESS Black to sign new deal at club he loves By Alasdair Fraser TWO years ago Ian Black had never even heard of Inverness Caley Thistle - now it's the only club on his lips. The midfielder last night revealed he is ready to snub DundeeUnited by signing a new two-year deal with the Highland outfit. His old boss at the Caledonian Stadium, Craig Brewster, was keen to take the youngster to Tannadice. But the former Blackburn Rovers starlet reckons his education would be better served by staying at Inverness and is all but certain of pledging himself to three more years. Black, who held talks with his agent Gary Mackay and the club on the morning of the win over Ross County, said: "We're really close to an agreement and it could all be wrapped up before the end of the week. "What manager Charlie Christie has spoken about is really good. "I'm more than happy here. Inverness gave me my chance and this club has got me where I am. "They were always the first club I was going to speak to. This club's progress has surprised me because I came up here knowing nothing about Inverness. I hadn't even heard of them. "I'm looking to buy a house in the area because I've got my fiancee and my little one to look after now. That's a big commitment on my part and one the club are delighted with." Black was signed by John Robertson in July 2004, breaking into the side and becoming a favoured choice under successor Brewster. The United boss fuelled a summer of endless speculation by making no secret of his desire to take him to Tayside. And the 21-yearold said: "It has been a distraction but I take it as a compliment. "To come up here at a young age and to have clubs wanting you has been brilliant. You feel you must be doing something right. "But this is a great club to play for and I feel I can develop my game here. So to be getting this chance is unbelievable. "People under-estimate us but we're a big team now in the Premier League." Towards the end of last season, boss Christie sensed a change in attitude from Black over his future. His hopes were confirmed in the last few days but the manager is withering in his criticism of Dundee United's conduct. Christie said: "I got the feeling Ian's opinion was changing and we're now very hopeful of tying things up. "I've said to Ian I'm convinced he will move on to bigger things in his career but this is not the right time. "And certainly, some of the clubs that have been mentioned are not a step forward for him, in my opinion. "The Tannadice situation hasn't helped. We tried to do it in as amicably and business-like a fashion as possible but some of the stuff coming out has been laughable. The Immortal Howden Ender was the only one talking sense" While Christie is tantalisingly close to securing Black through until summer 2009, positive extension talks with Mark Brown and 20-goal Craig Dargo are unlikely to reach an immediate resolution. The keeper and striker are in a similar situation to Black, with a year remaining, and are definitely staying put for this season. Christie said: "They know they are here for the year and we've left the contract offers with them. There's no rush whatsoever."

Tasseography is not flawless but reliable in the hands of a skilled practitioner Inverness CT 3 - 0 Ross County ALASDAIR FRASER at the Caledonian Stadium July 24 2006 IAN Black is set to end a summer of speculation by committing to three more years in Inverness. The midfielder, a target for Dundee United, has been offered a two-year extension and should sign by the end of this week. Craig Dargo and Mark Brown have also been offered terms described as the best in the club's history. "This is a great club to play for and I feel I can develop my game here," the 21-year-old said. "I'm looking to buy a house in the area and that's a big commitment." Charlie Christie, the club's manager, sensed a "change of attitude" in Black. "We're now hopeful of tying things up and that's a big plus," he added. "I've said to Ian I'm convinced he will move onto bigger things but that this is not the right time." The air of optimism at was strengthened by a win over Ross County, with goals from Stuart McCaffrey, Dennis Wyness and Richie Hart. :001:

Do not mock the power of the T-cup. I am giving away too many of my inherited skill tonite. To answer yer question JB it was a cold black J but that will mean nothing to the ungifted. By the way mee the kilts at the Dry Cleaners. :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

Well I have just finished a nightcap with Mrs IHE and I have emptied ma famous ICT -T cup into the speywife saucer and feck me... as clear as feckin day..first the number 5 and the letters Wed. That evidently means that there will be five big announcements by Wednesday. :010: :010: :010: And then I gave it the customary shoogle and the letters - a small c, a small b with a money sign and a P appeared. I glimpse up at Mrs IHE and the reflection of her double D's illuminated the feckin saucer. Of course the announcements will be about Campbell, Black, Proctor and the two biggies Dods and Dargo. But the P was faint. :006: :006:

I am reliably informed that he could go in the January transfer window.

O feckin LE!! Best of luck to the wee man. Yon goal at Easter Road is forever etched in ma memory. :notworthy01: :notworthy01:

Well the Sun is an improvement. It used to be the Dandy and the feckin Beano.

Beware of the little green eyed monster. OK .. I admit it .. I got it wrong fer once .. but my powers of second sight failed to note the telling signs in the tea cup. I took it that the tea leaf of good fortune was a sure sign of Dargo's fitness but it was a stain as Mrs IHE hadnt washed up properly.

What prediction was that???? That juanjo would be in attendance at Rosscoes Testimonial. :shakebooty:

He was up on a business trip. :008:

I thought my reply was more direct and to the point. :006:

Black was "rested" :010: against the Blades. Ominous

Excuse feckin me : Rankin will sign Correct Arabs chase Black and Proctor Correct and not over yet, especially Black Dods and Dargo to sign new contracts ( and details of their wishes) and stay Looking good Blades to come on loan was substantiated but fell through due to wages and wishful gaurantees. Campbell to sign Looking good The gym unfortunately was no feckin rumour but a feckin forced enterprise that went sadly wrong. :019: :019: :019:

get a feckin education and some capital letters ya stoopid soap dodging *****.

Will CC go the whole hog? -------------------------------Fraser------------------------------- Parratt-------Dods-----------Hastings------------Proctor----- Campbell------------Black-------------Keogh-----------Morgan -------------Rory--------------------Dargo---------------------

Feckin good shout Feck me. Second time yhis morning I concurred with a feckin jeggie. :010: :010:

Feckin great news .. And I got yet another prediction rite :003: I can now watch him on Granada TV on a regular basis.
