Might get a day pass for this one. A few of us met in the Snug Bar near the ground last time. Good day it was. 75 Church Street, Dundee DD3 7HP Snug Bar

He must have used the whole bottle on that head. I don't think he needs any gimmicks, he is a great wee winger without the big time haircut, it will just draw attention to him. Get back to basics wee man and rip Dundee a new one next week please.

Looks like we helped Jocky with his repair kit and smoothed over some rough edges. A couple of points down the drain for us today. One of the most disappointing results this season considering the run we were on. Still, one point closer, but the deficit has actually grown.....groan. Never mind, you keep looking over yer shoulder Jocky, we are coming.

Is he better than Wayne?................he has ginger hair but we don't care..........look at Jonny's hair... My point is, Adam Rooney has rescued us a couple of times recently with nerve jangling penalties. I say fair play to Adam for putting away these chances albeit from the spot. Put yourself in his shoes. Have you ever taken a penalty? Have you ever had to take a penalty in the last seconds of a game to change the result?? Have you ever had to do this repeatedly to save the teams blushes/drive for promotion/consecutive run/dignity, or just from the wrath of the supporters. I took a penalty once, after the friendly game we were playing petered out. The first three or four guys scored then it came to my turn. Although the attention had waned, and the rest of the guys started to open their cans of Tennents, I stood alone on the penalty spot against the keeper......................nobody gave a chit, but I did, was I going to be the first to fail or would I slot it away confidently. Well, I ended up with nerves like Rooney.............of course I put the keeper the wrong way....or did he dive too early, tough chitty. I ran away to take the plaudits of the wifie, two dogs a cat a half finished carry out and a tandem, I was euphoric. My point is, he deserves plenty of credit for slotting the ball home, it's not as easy as it looks. Adam Rooney Caley's No 9

No Andy, he was what I thought having a decent game and certainly looked up for it then he was hooked by Butch. Eric also played his mini cameo role, but Dani was the one that was probing and asking the questions. Still, it's in the eye of the beholder and that is outwith his contribution.

As it says on the tin. What do you think of Dani......... My thinking is that he is one of the most talented players to play for ICT. His vision is second to none and he can play people in at will. Maybe he is too clever for us. Whats your thoughts as he seems to be getting equal amounts of praise and stick at the same time???

Not having a go at you renegade, but Rooney worked very hard and did more than most to help the cause. Jonny Hayes was awarded the sponsors MoM, must have been for his dyed blonde hideous haircut. As you said, we were let down by our benevolent defence. If there were any fall guys, or guys who should maybe have offered more, then Proctor was ineffective as was Esson, poorest game yet. Rossco as you said had minging distribution especially in the first half but looked more comfortable pushing forward in the second. But lets not detract from the fact that ICT threw away a tremendous opportunity to squeeze closer to the leaders, games to play granted. The ref, oh yes, almost forgot, was useless right down to awarding us a penalty. He brought play back three or four times when advantage might have been an advantage.........where do they get them from.

Disgusted Ayr were there for the taking and we fecked up. Fair play for playing to the death plus injury time, plus extra time, plus time added on for their keeper taking an eternity to decide where he wanrted to take his goal kicks from. In truth we should have won this game against a plucky Ayr side by three or four clear goals. In reality we squandered chance after chance and to their credit they took the crumbs they were given and hit the back of the net. The first, I don't think they should have had a free kick forty yard out on the wing, and when the ball came in the normally reliable Esson flapped badly, the ball was eventually blocked on the line then tapped in. The second was a decent break by Ayr as we lacked penetration and they hit effectively on the counter. We equalised on the stroke of half time as some viewers went for a comfort break, Foran I am told. Jonny Hayes restored parity with a good finish across the keeper as is his trademark. His hair is just honking though, he should concentrate on his football first before he starts the playboy stuff. Ayr then restored their advantage with another smart smash and grab and at this point we looked forlorn. Down but not out despite the walkout by some fans, yet we continued to pass on great opportunities. The brilliant Sanchez was replaced as we searched for an equaliser and Eric did OK, but where were we going to get that killer pass from. The unlikely happened when Grantie was awarded a penalty with a dying swan sumersault deep into time added on to time added on and Rooney fairly thwacked home the resultant spot kick. To be honest to the honest men, and if they are honest, they deserved nothing from this game, but they almost sneaked all three points, and we used our last get out of jail almost free card. One point and a dent to our presumed goal difference was not good enough to appease this fan and a few others were disgruntled......until they heard the County score. This was not what wilsononourwing would have wanted, but all is not lost yet, although we are making it difficult to believe. MoM for me was Russeldinho, grafted tirelessly as did one or two others. Hayes was good and bad. Rooney is fast becoming our saviour. The defence and in particular Rossco and Esson need to get over this game and start again.

I have a similar rating Charles, although mine is also 23.3, it was measured on the GMI, the Guiness Mass Index. This is the index that a lot of athletes use. The likes of Jocky Wilson, Andy Fordham etc, proper athletes. I'm hungry now, off for a big fry up.

Iv'e got you a brush & comb set for yer birthday. Urftay burfday

Does not appear to have been frosty overnight, certainly nothing seious if there was any. Don't think there is any snow lying at pitch level. Very overcast at present and as pitch looked good in the passing yesterday things are looking ok, unless the constabulary think otherwise. tm4tj - Inverness.

I did peak at 26, but my keypad is playing up.

27...........wow, that'll do nicely.

The pitch is a lovely lush green colour this morning, it looks fab.

Can you be more specific Charles?

It's only Thursday though. Apparently the pitch is in decent nick. Today was simply the most horrendous day this century. Driving sleet, strong winds and f f f freezing. Outside Inverness it would appear to be chaotic. However, if it's based solely on the pitch being ok then it might just go ahead.

Back by popular demand, the Chester Incident. See johnboy's link, there are answers in there. Get rid of the paranoia and all will be well.

Yes, stop digging up old dead and buried topics. It's not a lot to do with ICT and you got an answer, end of. Come up with something fresh about ICT and I'm sure it will remain on the main ICT forum. And, did you really need to ask?

Miserable git.

See if you recognise anyone here, and less than a dozen posts in. "we are run like a diddy club at times but keep burying your head in the sand it's nobodys fault bar our own." "Then that makes it worse on our part diddy club are we." "Maybe our joke of a club could have decided either we put the ush on or not" "Inverness Thistle failed" "So knowing the forecast was well below freezing why waste money on switching it on in the 1st place." " someone putting 2+2 the gether and getting 5 and trying to deflect any blame" " although our club has to shoulder some of the blame hopefully lessons will have been learnt" "sometimes we run like a diddy club" "stop trying to deflect criticism of our club silly gamble switching ush on Friday " "money we can ill afford was now wasted" "the loss of income from hospitality etc and gate money will hopefully teach us a lesson" You are some angry hound, did you lie when you were seventeen?

I heard Ken Dodd died "Did he" No, Doddy

Who let you out of your kennel houndog?

When I started working for PO Telephones (BT), many moons ago, (1973) the store where the cables were held was called hangar 5, which is where the BT yard is now on Seafield Road.

You are right enough about tools at the club.
