Normally don't mind Dougal's posts, but this is a poor show I would say. Charlie was probably the most accomplished player to have come out of Inverness. Maybe things could have worked out differently at Celtic, but he was a young man and there were no real precedents for making the massive switch from Inverness to a team like Celtic. Think also about the coaching and preparation Charlie worked with, which was a world away from what is in place today, and certainly would not have prepared him for the challenges of living in a new city and playing for such a big club. Anyway, unlike others he stuck with the game and went on to be as I say probably the best ever player from Inverness. More than that, he seems to have raised a fine young man, and nurtured his footballing talent to produce a player who should hopefully have a bright future. How many of us could say we have done all that and had such an impact on football in Inverness and the Highlands?

what happened quizzer?

So ye beat the runs at Tynecastle.

Disagre totally Sneckboy I've been a Chelsea fan since the early 80's, ICT fan since merger, pre-merger Caledonian. I would rather watch ICT week in week out but "make do" with Chels as I live in West London. It costs me a wedge to fly "home or away" to watch ICT so I head to the Bridge, but if / when we play Chelsea in Champions League I'll be in the Caley end. I also support any Scottish team that plays Chelsea in Europe so I beleive I can still support ICT 100% but be a bit of a slut and watch Chels..... "Chels" FFS.

Went to Wolves, I think, don't think he quite made it.

That's the thing CB, some people want to live in a modern, forward-looking, properly democratic country, and are not caught in eighteen-oatcake wishing for the return of the days of the Life Boys, the Bumber's Laney, and the Caddie f*ckin rats.

Sorted

20 years next year. And by the way, thanks to CB for explaining what the "JFK moment" means. By f*ck, would never have known otherwise.

What aboot when Take That split up? Ah mind the first Top of the Pops after that, very emotional.

Ah yes, the chips of Lancashire, coveted the world over by foodies of all nations.

I can't remember exactly but i think it was around 6-7 quid for a large haddock, chips and mushy peas. Currently they're open 4-10pm 7 days a week but they're planning to open at midday and also will offer home deliveries in the near future :) can ye make it a bit more obvious please?

Hmmm....i do believe.....in my teenage yrs...i referred to the Chip Shop as a Chipper, but nowadays.....its mostly chippy. Maybe i mix it up as i go? Bet ye call a chip piece a chip butty too.

Personally, I would call it a chipper not a chippy, as in the Chipper Mob.

Nice one Scotty!

They're so untrustworthy ye can't even trust them to cheat.

No arbitrary piece of cloth is worth a single life.

Good points Clacher, plenty on here hiding behind the team colour idea, when the flag does not match the club colours. I agree if people want to act like small time sevco fans, they should at least be honest about it. The OP's main point was about sectarian singing. Again, if any of those who sing these songs want to justify that, be open about it.

Caley's colours were blue and white FFS.

As far as I am aware the OP has not posted extensively if at all on the Independence thread, so to attribute to him an "ulterior motive" smacks of paranoia.

JDM's main point was not to do with the flag, but as he says, the wannabe zombies that rally round it, singing mindless sectarian songs. As said before, tolerating this kind of thing is a sure fire way of alienating many potential supporters.

This thing about using the "fleg" because it has the club's colours surely can't be right, for as some of the nice people who wave the thing used to say "there ain't no black in the union jack." One surefire way to alienate the club further in the community.

We'll be having "heroes" abseiling doon the main stand next.

To be fair to Cowan, women's football is pretty sh*te.

What about Dave Cameron sh##ting it from a debate with Salmond? Nice of him to leave it up to Scots to debate the issues, I trust he and his rotten government will refrain from commenting on this issue in the year to come.

One sad thing is that in an independent Scotland, there is no way CB would be taking to the airwaves, given his strong and principled stance against the "separatists".
