and this is why some people dont listen to you! 1st of all, i actually didnt even know anything about that concering McGuire. But hey should we all now start to throw abuse at Tokely just because he did it aswell and that you said we should boo wife beaters. Get a grip. I never booed Rory McAllister, I never booed Michael Fraser, I never booed Robert Eagle, I never booed LDZ(while he was on the pitch), I never booed Barrowman(while he was on the pitch) And i never rated McDonald from the get go, so with that post you have assumed that everyone in Section G is the same??? Dont think so, so how about you get your facts right before you go tarnish everyone with that vile brush you have. All this has started because if i was at the game i "MIGHT" have joined in with the chants/abuse against Imrie. So before you go off on one, how about waiting for/or better yet go and abuse someone on here who actually did abuse him at the game rather than taking it out on someone who voiced an opinion. Come on guys - don't get your knickers in a twist! Imrie IS arrogant but NOBODY should be subjected to verbal or any other form of abuse. Nature will take it's time and he will get his sometime in the future.

A pity he was no use with us then!

And I wonder who's to blame for all this?

It was February 1976 and there were reputed to be over 3000 at the Meeting Park (I know... cos I was there! ) to watch Highland beat Selkirk I think something like 20-0 to win Division 2 of the National Leagues and gain promotion to Division 1, the then top tier with the likes of Hawick, Gala etc. An early video of Bill MacLaren's Rugby Special still exists somewhere I think. Highland had entered the league at the bottom in Division 4 in 1972 and jumped up to the top with three straight promotions. Of the list of players, I'm not sure if Kenny White was still playing for Highland 1st XV but Beans, Dave, George Halliday and Colin High certainly were, along with the likes of Chunky Hamilton, Alan Rose, international second row George Mackie and the legendary international wing forward and general inspiration Nairn MacEwan. Baillie! It's not so many years ago that you could stand on the Queens Park on a Tuesday night and know from the tone of the whistle blasts over on the Canal Field that it was Colin coaching the team that night. My first memory of Colin was when I came into 1st year at the Royal Academy in 1965 and there was this PE teacher of whom apparently all the 5th and 6th years were s**t scared and who used to make offending seniors hang from wallbars until they dropped off. And, many years later, I can just imagine the response that a Millburn pupil would have got when he asked the question: "Mr. Baillie, how do you spell your name. Is it with one "i" or two?" :010: You could write a book about Colin Baillie (and if I could find a publisher I possibly would) - but let this little known fact suffice for the moment.... In the late summer of 1940 with the victorious Hun staring threateningly across the English Channel and down the throat of a beleaguered people who stood alone in the world, how did the nation respond and achieve salvation? "The RAF won the Battle of Britain" I hear you say, but you merely sniff at the periphery. Britannia actually rallied with the Birth of Colin Baillie... to which the terrified Nazi Hordes spontaneously yelled "Achtung, achtung!! Alle ist kaput!" and cleared off in panic to invade Russia instead. Yes folks, Colin will turn 70 this August! A LEGEND! Looks and moves the same today as he did 20 years ago and here's to another 20.

Can anyone remember the size of the crowd (it was huge) at the NMP when HRFC played Selkirk in the Div2 "winner takes all" match? Can't remember the year but team included the likes of Kenny White, Beans, Dave Aitchison and Colin High. :huh:

And a belated Happy New Year to all past and present Dalneigh, Bught, Hilton, Ferry and posh part residents. Smithton wasn't in it in those days! :006: :D

He is married to McLeish's sister. That's how he got the job!

Coyle is nowhere near experienced enough for euro football and I don't think loyalty will feature in his decision. Money will.

Are you winding us up "starchief"? I must have been asleep when the transfer figures were announced!

And a Merry Christmas to all you Tecky boys and girls from a Kaddie Rat 1965-71! Just been told I was there in 1970 - must have repeated a year somewhere along the line

Merry Christmas to all former High School pupils 1963-1969 :) :) :P :love03: :love04: :love08:

Yes it is. Now that I have been reminded exactly who Teetums was, that is exactly as I remember him.... highly visually challenged.. I,m sure Teetums is still alive you know. Does he stay in Montague Row?

Who told you we are running the team on SPL wages Alex? In every contract there is a clause to reduce terms if a team is relegated so those who had contracts extending into this season would have been caught. The new players, including Foran signed at the begining of this season certainly won't be on Prem contracts. Bennett is not that daft.

There are ways of making existing shares worth virtually nothing. Paisley Gilmore did it to the OLD GUARD at Saints. Don't know if it would be possible at Caley tho.

Is Tommy ok with this? I might just drag myself along to this - haven't been to a rugby match for years. Hopefully the Kingsmills Suite will be open to non-members. What the hell has it got to do with Tommy? He is the groundsman not the Chairman!

Our club have gone backwards in the last 6 months. There is an adequate U19 league in which most SFL teams play, including Ross County and we have to field a team full of U17's in the National Cup competition. It's about time our BoD sorts this out and give our future some attention!

Maybe as Director of Football

Always good for a laugh is alex!

Great PR for the club. Well done Terry! Those of you who question why he is on the show really should get a life!

I see the Motherwell " No 1" wasn't even on the bench on Saturday. Any ideas Alex?

Er, we are fifth, Dundee at sixth - Link Yeh, I know. I looked at the wrong week for positions. :D :D

Why oh why do people not just accept the fact that Zander just was not good enough to play in our 1st team? Don't think he was voted 3rd Div Player of the Year.

Oh?

I agree that change is needed but turkeys do not vote for Christmas.

Yes I do go with Butcher because he is the manager and he will either succeed or fail because of the choices he makes. I agree that he took too long to get rid of Lionel - look at Hastings, rave reviews of his debut for Hamilton on Sunday but I think this only shows that he needed a change of club. We are however getting off the subject and the fact is that Dale was not good enough to get a first team place - that doesn't make him a dud, it just means that he has to find his level.
