    Inverness C.T. -V- Dundee Utd

    in Caley Thistle

    Posted

    Here we are exactly half way through the season, and it is remarkable how the first goal in a game has been decisive.  Of our 19 league games:

     

    10 wins – we scored first every time

    6 defeats – we conceded first every time

    2 no score draws

    1 score draw (2-2 at Celtic) – the only game in which the team scoring first didn’t go on to win.

     

    Some people mentioned elsewhere that the players heads seemed to drop the other day after going behind – maybe it’s because they know that they haven't so much as salvaged a draw when that has happened!

     

    The positive thing is that ICT have been incredibly good at holding onto leads.

     

    The message for Hughes is that the only tactic we need is to score the 1st goal, the rest will take care of itself. I don’t know why he didn’t think of this before. :blink:

    An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin and orders three pints of Guinness

    and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.

    When he finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders three

    more.

    The bartender says to him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it;

    it would taste better if you bought one at a time."

    The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in

    America , the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin . When we all

    left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we

    all drank together."

    The bar tender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

    The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way.

    He orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks from

    each of them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the

    other regulars in the bar notice and fall silent....

    When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,

    "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my

    condolences on your great loss."

    The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye

    and he laughs. "Oh, no," he says, "Everyone is fine".

     

    "It's me ......... I've quit drinking!"

    Ha Ha!  poor Naelifts, nae luck eh,    reminds me of Alec Mcleods leap over the fence at the A9 side of the stadium after we won promotion the SPL in 2004, broke his ankle and couldn't make the celebrations!

    That fence/gap has now been named ' Alec's leap' and has a plaque to say this on the fence, many tourists stop on the layby on the A9 and stare with wonder at what the feck he was thinking about on that day...

    Twas 29th Jan 2005. First SPL game at TCS. 2-0 v Dunfermline

     

     

    Watergate, Plebgate and now Plaquegate. Is there no end to it...?

    St Mirren -V- Inverness CT

    So what was the story with Warren stopping Thomson getting a card? Saw a St Mirren fan tweeting a well done to him.

     

    SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

    "Compliments of the day were earned by Gary Warren, however, after he saved Steven Thompson from a booking late on. The defender lost his footing as the St Mirren striker slid in to him, and referee Callum Murray reached for his pocket in believing contact had been made.

    “I don’t usually do that, to be honest with you. But he is a nice guy, I like him, and I didn’t want to see him booked.

    “He didn’t touch me so I wasn’t going to roll around in agony, like quite a lot of people do nowadays. The ref was going to book him but, at the end of the day, he is an honest guy and so am I. To be fair to the ref he said to me afterwards he was going to book him and thanked me for saying there was nothing in it. In football these days a lot of players fake things and dive around. But this game was played in the right spirit. I like to be aggressive and tough but also be fair as well.”

    It will never catch on."
