On again BBC Scotland at 19.45 tonight - enjoy again, why not?  

Thoroughly enjoyed programme again.  Unintentionally watched the following programme about referees and their training/fitness regimes - very very interesting.   At Alloa (I think)  we were seated right at the centre line long before kick off and were front seat witnesses to Willie Collum and the assistant referees warming up.  Willie was extremely fit, he could put lots professionals to shame, the two assistants were sweating profusely but not Willie.  We were totally impressed, despite not being Willie Collum fans!   He appreciated our comments, I think, before the game. 

I am disappointed in Ross County, but not surprised.  I presume their vote would have been different if they were not in the Premier League - ie Uncle Roy’s views in 2012 compared to now.  

On again BBC Scotland at 19.45 tonight - enjoy again, why not?

Probably get 2 or maybe even 3 guys in for what Carlo was being paid.

Recall being quite shocked at a Sponsors Night event, when Richie Foran was asked what was the best part of being Captain  of the Club.  His answer, and he wasn’t joking, was “The Money”.   So, being captain and vice captain brings extra  spoondoolacks.

True story he'll be sitting on his 80% while waiting on an Spl giant to pick him up lol

As you are so fond of Storey, maybe you could ask him for a zero percentage loan?

I am so unchuffed that my doorbell is temperamental and didn’t work when ICT called with my goodie bag.  It would have been a highlight of this season to meet the “delivery guys” especially as we may not have a Sponsors Night or Ladies Day this season.  After an awful time of illness in my family, and friends, since new year, expressions of kindness from ICT is so appreciated.   A family club in so many ways.  

Me too and delighted with the contents - all useful and very acceptable.   Many congratulations to ICT, to those who donated the contents and the mystery person who left it on my doorstep.  Many many thanks. 

Well done that player and I hope he recovers soon.  

Toddy played well at centre back.

Signed back on here with an extra S on my name to pay my respects to my great friend, my best friend - Bronson... aka Simon Macdonald.

You gave me many laughs mate. You were an absolute rock for me when I went through my own separation. You pulled me back up. You had my back. You held me up. You were a true, true friend & one of very few people I trusted with my life.

We had a brilliant night on Friday. Laughing, smiling, joking, drinking, talking about the future. I am so, so, sorry from the bottom of my heart that I never saw the signs from you. I'm sorry I never saw your pain or your turmoil. I just saw Simon, laughing, smiling, joking.... 

My heart is hurting like hell for you. I am riddled with guilt I never saw your internal pain & my own pain is growing each day that I failed you in your own time of need.

RIP Simon. It was an honour to call you my friend.

Take comfort that you and Simon had a great night together last Friday.  You could have had no idea  of  what was going on in his mind after you parted.  Remember all the happy times, the laughs, the jokes, don’t try to analyse the what-ifs.   You were a good true friend but he didn’t want to share his troubled thoughts and that can never be anyone’s fault.  

Why oh why did I have a clear-out last year and got rid of two huge boxes of programmes to recycling!  I still have one box full but these are ones I decided to keep for their good memories.  

Can’t believe it.  Such awful news.  Sincerest sympathy to his nearest and dearest and especially his lovely Dad.  Liz S x

I was at the game and only now watched the “highlights” on tv.   Was that supposed to be a premier division pitch? - I’ve seen better pitches in the Highland League - shocking and the Hibs ground staff should be ashamed.   My comments are nothing to do with the result - just making a point in favour of expert groundsmen/persons elsewhere.   Ps enjoyed the actual ‘being there’ but not the highlights!  Bring on the other Cup Final at the end of the March.  

Beverages of all types very reasonable at the Rugby Club.  Enjoy 

Sorry I was being a worry-guts.  Great news.  Surely now the red card will be rescinded.  If not, there will be certainly be more red faces at SFA. 

I hope this is true and not just a rumour

This result only fuels the idea that the SPFL really have more than one rule, one for the ugly sisters, one for SPL and another specially for ICT.  How dare we win the Scottish Cup, how dare we have poor crowds that umpteen times are more than Hamilton, St Mirren and even St Johnstone, but still survive.  It was a blatant error by Aitken again but after his antics at Ayr I am sorely disillusioned that the SPFL have sided with him.   I will always support ICT but never again give these morons any support, these “experts” who supposedly run the SPFL - biased, idiotic, spineless, not worth a penny of the inflated wages they pocket every week.  They have no consciences, don’t accept the truth, should resign en bloc. 

This topic is descending into total stupidity.  Can the Mods please close it ASAP

It was like he was sticking two fingers up to the boos? Ive never seen a ref laugh and give the thumbs up in that way before? I suspect it was a wave to a friend but totally inappropriate imho 

If he was reacting to boos, then why thumbs up to the Ayr directors box?  A reaction to boos would normally be towards the fans doing the booing.   No excuses - that referee should forfeit his payment for his performance today - so biased and inconsistent, it was laughable.   Looking forward to seeing the points awarded for MOM and ref!!  

Great guy Jamie - I wish you every success and will follow your future career with interest.  Good luck.  

I wish Coll all the best - but hope he remembers he was going to give up football altogether before ICT came calling to give him a chance after his “toxic” time at Dundee United.   He has a lot to be grateful for - ICT revived his career so I hope he acknowledges that in the Press.   

All the Caleyaway songs were superb at Dundee.  Let’s continue the theme again at all away games, especially the young voice encouraging give me a “C” - you were a star.

I’m allegedly a happy clapper and am certainly not a fan of either of the Glasgow ugly sisters! 

Like most on here, my only team is Caley Thistle, although having been brought up there, I admit to looking nervously for Fort William’s result each week. 

Me too.   Never a fan of the ugly sisters and never will be.   Look out for scores of Elgin, Clach, Fort William and Brora out of interest  but only ICT for me. 

I have received a 3ft by 3ft pic of Liam Polworth in action in a cup winning game, I believe!    I love it, but, if I put it up in my spare bedroom, my guests may not sleep!   Shall I put it up in my own room and remain single for ever!   No disrespect to Liam - it’s a great picture and Peter Paul said I should get it signed but...... would Liam want to come to my abode to sign it?   Decisions decisions.  

I am usually classed as a Happy Clapper but......I totally agree with Gregors comments.   It’s now time for ICT to be sorted out,  from the Boardroom, to the Manager,  to the team.     It’s not working just now, so, get your thinking caps on or get someone in with a plan B.   Please.  ASAP.
