keep em coming second row Carlton, Dunn and co., Leisuropa?
-
Must be the only place where a big f**k off shopping mall actually makes the place look better.
-
Looked like a decent rumble doon the subway.
-
Were you a professional photographer second row, or did you just do it for the crack?
-
That's what I thought too. Chipper mob?
-
Sign of the times when the best aggro is on the message boards.

HIL-CHIB ?
-
Any aggro?

I came across a reference online to a team called Inverness Celtic, who won the North Caledonian league in the 19th century and competed in the HL. Does anyone know anything more about the club, where they played, who founded the club, what strips they wore, what happened to them, etc?? Edit: seems like there is an older thread on this theme, without much information.

I actually think Pharaoh's was the name of the lounge at the Ice Rink where the alternative types would hang oot, and that they would take themselves on some other weekends to places like the Mercury. Ah don't suppose it was the kinda joint for motor enthusiasts, IBM.

Caley v Elgin, 1980 q-cup final at Station Park, glory days of aggro.
-
Does anyone remember this club night, that seemed to take place mostly at the Ice Rink, or sometimes at the old Mercury?? Early 80s, alternative types, was too young to go, but seemed like an interesting night oot.
-
'Sing when yer fishing' -- that seemed to set the Buckie lads off. What aboot the 90s Jeggies riot--anyone there? ICI days.
-
Were you at the Q-cup final in 1980, Kingsmills? 5000-strong crowd.
-
Elgin were our main rivals, County were like Rothes or something. Just a shame Elgin were left behind. Did they have a title stripped or something?
-
Worst riot I saw in HL football was at Borough Briggs, 1980 Q-Cup final, Buckie v .... The Jeggies. In fact, the second worst incident in my time also involved the Jeggies, v Elgin at Forres for some cup final in the early 90s. Madchester era. So, who were the real hoodlums in Sneck football?
-
Diggar sounds like a great guy (apart from the hun bit), but by feck he gave some rotten haircuts--the very name sent a shiver doon yer spine if ye were a trendy lad back in the day. Not even yer nits would survive that onslaught from big D.
-
She does, though neither of her parents were from the Sneck. Her accent is Sneck too, the kind of one you would hear in the 70s or so.
-
Thanks for the replies. No surprise she went to the High School. Does she write much about Inverness?
-
Did/does anyone know Ali Smith or her family, from St Valery Avenue? Quite an accomplishment to rise to be one of Britain's leading authors. Did her father own the electrician's in the market?
-
It's daft to compare Caley and Thistle Highland League attendances to ICT Premier League crowds--of course the latter would be bigger! How many would watch ICT in the Highland League? How many would watch Caley or Thistle in the Premier League, or even a new team created in a way that did not alienate the core support of both teams? I guess we'll never know.
-
The attendance issue is always discussed in terms of numbers, when type of supporter is as important and relevant. If you compared the crowd at the Caley v St Johnstone cup game back then to the present day crowd, how would that look?
-
That is nonsense, the town supported 3-4 clubs for over a hundred years, it is just that, for various reasons, the new club has never managed to energize people sufficiently, indeed it attracts hostility and indifference as much as enthusiasm and dedication.
-
Did well tonight, set up the goal, will take his chance and is doing all the right things.
-
It's still early in the season, lots can happen yet, and he does seem to be featuring on the bench, which is something of an achievement given the size of the squad. Also seems to be a willing and quick learner.
