Reguero to Kilmarnock?
What a fool. Apparently he had an offer from Ipswich as well and there was talk of him going to West Ham last season as well. But oh no, he'd rather play in the Scottish Division Two - what an idiot.

3rd? Who would have dreamt of that in 1994!
I can't say I dreamt it, cause I always thought it would happen. Of course there has been times in the past when we've come very close to Europe - IIRC had we beaten Dunfermline in 2004 and gotten to the final, the way the system was set up at that time, we would have gotten into Europe. Queen of the South have been in Europe in the last few years as well, so it was always achievable. The next big moment will be when the 3-1 Celtic win is outdone - and I believe it will be. The way things are going that will most likely be against foreign opposition and a victory against a large English side would certainly do it. IMO though, the ICT journey isn't over yet, and I reckon we will out-do ourselves once more - and I believe that in my lifetime, Inverness will win the Premier League.

ICT -V St Johnstone
There's nothing I hate more on here than posters criticising other people's criticising of the team's performance. Attitudes that "negative" opinions should never be expressed, or "if you didn't enjoy the game, it's your own fault", are bizarre, perplexing and of no use to anyone. I believe that forums are better places when people call a spade a spade. That's is, after all, their purpose. There have been times in the past, where a result such as last nights would have been deemed a good one. There have been times when that performance would have been deemed acceptable due the fact that we hadn't gotten beat - and a point further away from the drop. If anything, criticising performances such as last night's, shows just what an excellent season we have had. This season has been more like the seasons in the lower leagues, when we went into games - particularly home games - thinking that we are going to go out there and win. If that's our attitude going into games and come out feeling disappointed after seeing a poor display and only a point, then surely that shows just how far we have come.

Reguero to Kilmarnock?
Why on Earth would Reguero want to leave a top six team pushing for second and heading into Europe, for some bottom six dwellers, based in a an absolutely horrible town, managed by a complete weirdo?!

Who cares about opposition teams? I think getting them to change at home could give us an advantage at times as well.

ICT -V St Johnstone
That game had 0-0 written all over it. Neither side had many chances to score apart from the odd long distance effort. Our passing was nowhere near as crisp as it has been in recent weeks, with a few long punts starting to creep back in. Quite a few players weren't their best either: Jones, Draper, A.Shinnie, Foran and McKay weren't in it much and Graeme Shinnie wasn't as good as he normally is. And Jones MOTM?! What?! The only thing of note was that helicopter flying about? What was the deal with that? Oh, and Tade was rubbish!

The Christie Legacy
I'm sure I read somewhere once that Jim Calder's son was in the ICT first team squad years ago. Niall Calder or something?

Were We Conned?
Some of you may remember a few months ago ICT signed Portugese winger/striker Andre Martins. This was after a trial just after the start of the season, before hearing nothing more about him until his bizarre appearance on the bench in the 1-1 draw against Hearts a couple of months later. The following Tuesday, ICT had an U20 match which I was at and Martins played in. To be frank, he was terrible. His past is a funny thing as well. Representing Portugal a few lower levels and having spells in Venezuela, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Peru, Finland and Mexico, along with a spell with Fulham and trials at Dundee United, Morton and even Bayern Munich! There was also talk of Dundee and Partick looking at him a few years ago. Interestingly though, for many of these clubs he'd been punted fairly quickly, often (as in our case) failing to make an appearance, but always seeming to find a new club afterwards. I was having a week look earlier to see what he was up to now and amazingly he seems to be playing top division football in Brazil with Goias! That's when I came across this article (translated into English) - http://www.futebolinterior.com.br/clube/goias-go/253570+Goiano_Goias_contrata_meia_com_passagens_pela_Selecao_Portuguesa_Sub-20 Is he sending people videos of the other Andre Martins who plays for Sporting Lisbon? Is this how he seems to get club after club, despite hardly playing any matches? Did ICT sign him up on this video? What on Earth is an Arica Portal to Earth?! Sounds to me like Mr Martins is nothing more than a hooligan touting himself to any club he can find, in search of a quick buck. This does then beg the question - Were we conned?

what country?
IIRC you can't be drawn against a team from the same country as you.

Fascist manager
Think it would depend for me if their political views started impacting in their job as the team's manager in a negative way. If someone was to come in and say "Hey, no black players will be welcome here", I'd have a problem with that. I think in this case it's a bit of a sensationalised story. Particularly when you consider that the likes of the BBC were happy to have Di Canio writing an online column for them when he was at Swindon.

Fascist manager
I don't see what the big deal is really. Terry Butcher's a big Conservative and apparently is responsible for putting up a picture of the Queen in the Ibrox home dressing room which remains to this day. Brian Clough was a socialist (as was Shankly and others). Egil Olsen was a member of the Norwegian Communist Party. It's not really an issue I don't think.

White again?! Boring! The current white away kit's dull as dishwater as well.

Top 6 Fixtures
We had an extra home game last season as well didn't we? (Hibs I think it was) We had Dunfermline three times at home a few years back as well IIRC.

Think I'd like to come back alive thanks!

Euro Shirt - April Fools Fail......
Slightly off topic, but I know ICT will have a new away kit next season. I'd like to see a red version of the home kit we have now. Something like this -

Billy Big Times
Aye one is definitely Blackman. Starting fights in training was a rumour that did the rounds as well. Quite a good player, but obviously a complete twit of a person. If you look at who else was punted early on, there was Martins, Brislen-Hall, Oswell. Don't know about any of them, but I seem to recollect Brislen-Hall being friendly with his team-mates going by their Twitter pages. I think it could well be just Blackman Foran is referring to.

Ben Greenhalgh at Concord Rangers till summer
How do you pronounce his name? I presume it's pronounced like "Greenhall", but I'm not sure.
