an only to be expected result, disappointing as it is.................oh well

Barry is the man for all seasons, special event goals a speciality :021:

I agree with Sandy. The Invernes Courier is the name of the paper, but the coverage of the paper is much further reaching and County should have been given columns on the prime sports page, as we would expect if we were to knock Celtic out of the cup at Parkhead. :010: Any publicity for North football is good and it should be shouted from the rooftops.

:010: Gosh, he sounded remarkably like Chicster. I missed the start when listening on the net and encountered some 'technical' difficulties and missed the intro's. However I thought the commentator did much better than some of the mundane efforts that we get on other weekends.

Listened to the commentary on the net and thought that Chic did a sterling job, made the game sound pretty lively so well done to him for being fairly knowledgable and whipping up a frenzy on the wireless. Some of the Saturday guys take note.

It was an ugly crowd. :021: Well done County, now see and keep the cup clean

Aye, take our cup back North, you know it makes sense.

Agree pig, listned on radio and we had our chances and Malkowski was unusually reliable today, so as you say, some you win, some you lose. This was always going to be a difficult game as Hibs are one of the best side at ICT this season, so although not what we wanted, not too disturbing either. Still, probably won't stop some booooooooo boys or girls having a go.

Sandy I have seen some rubbish games and poor performances this year but the Aberdeen game was ok as far as entertainment and some decent foorball played. It does not always transmit on to the screen that way, but the atmoshere was ok especially when we scored and frustration vented when we lost the goal. We were pretty enterprising and most fans were encouraged by what they saw in the first half. Compare that with the tripe we witnessed against Falkirk and Dunfermline , then this was fabulous. What do you expect to see when the whistle blows, Real Madrid and Barcelona, it is only ICT, but we are all proud of our wee team, so can I suggest that there is a difference to being critical and being objective. People reading your posts will just not bother turning up to watch if you keep telling them it is rubbish. Folks, Sandy was not present at this game, please disregard his negative comments, he obviously is stuck in a time warp. There was nothing wrong with our play, we can only compete with what is in front of us.

You are right Sandy, everything was carp and we should be back in the highland league and CC should be sacked, and the crowd was rotten and Mike Smith is rubbish and the shop is hopeless and the ground is pathetic, I don't know why anyone ever turns up. Stop bitching :016:

Would you believe it :003:

Wow, thats magic, how did it get in here :015: Did you know Libero can refer to: A specialist defensive position in soccer (also known as a sweeper). A specialist defensive position in volleyball. A four-wheel drive microvan made by Subaru. A diaper produced by the SCA group for the European market. An Italian newspaper, directed by Vittorio Feltri. A software package to generate program code for Finite State Machines, published under GPL by the Belgian company imatix and........... do you realise that Libero spelt backwads is............orebil :010: And, well done Mark Brown :021:

Almost, but not quite correct, Libero. Check Hairy Chippers post in the correct forum..............Official Scotland B Squad (Non ICT) In fact it was Ross P's thread at 11:30 :016:

Well, I just thought I would start one as well, it seems to be cool and trendy to do this :006:

Good news is that Bayne, Munro, McBain have all signed deals to keep them at ICT till summer 2009.

Not sure, we did OK without him last night, but then again he may have given us the edge. The game may have suited him as we looked good when we went forward and the added bite in the middle would not have gone unoticed. I'll sit on the fence please.

davieB, have to disagree about you disagreeing with me, Dods and Rossco played well in my opinion, Hastings maybe the pick of the defenders until the last minute. Dods passing always leaves a lot to be desired and he did have one senior moment but otherwise he and Tokely kept out a couple of lively players. Brown could have watched the game on Setanta, Grantie was generally solid agin, Bazza was always looking to take the game to Aberdeen, Duncan worked on scraps but did it well, Rankin had his best outing for ICT, McBain did brilliantly at our goal, Dargo made lots of unselfish runs and was unlucky he got too much Brazilian on the ball in the first half, it was in all the way and had the whole of the North stand off their erses, unfortunately the ball kept swerving past the upright, Bayne, what can you say, yes he can be a headless chicken, but so is a headless chicken, and he wasn't chicken when it came to heading McBain's whipped cross home, superb goal. I thought we always looked menacing when we went forward at pace, and but for a better last ball or slice of luck we may have scored more than one. On the other hand, the dimal Dons just about sums them up, we were the more likely to take all three points and yes it was frustrating to throw away a softish looking goal at the death from the otherwise reliable defenders. Kencar, I thought the game was decent and I also thought we deserved to win. The ref, well he was Ok, have seen a lot worse this year. IHE, sounds like ICT he was talking about, only point of controversy was I could not see Aberdeen scoring until we opened our defence for them, great pity but there you go.

Hey...view from the North Stand..........we stuffed them 1-1. I thoutght that was the most enterprising we have been at home for a long time, well done to Manager of the Month Charlie and his team. We dominated Aberdeen from the start, and even when they got a little possession we still looked comfortable. Second half there was only one team going to win the game and we deservedly took the lead with a brilliant goal from the outstanding Bayne, swift move down the left, first time cross, and a diving header from Bayners to send the already delirious Northstanders into raptures. Maybe premature but certainly deserved..... however, somehow our resolute defence managed to give too much room on the Dons right wing and a harmless looking cross eluded a couple of players and ended up being knocked inton the net...........bummer. We looked like ending our winless streak against the Dons, but hey, it wasn't to be, but for me this was our most positive display against them, and they should be afraid, very afraid. Great performances all round, Dods, Rossco, Hastings, Rankin, (about time) Dargo for his unselfish runs, McBaon for the cross, Bayners for a fabulous goal. The rest were only brilliant, no failures tonight, and a good crowd despite the Setanta showing...............there goes my predictor............Gutted by the late goal, but hey ho, some you win, some you lose............or draw :017: Kencar............just spotted your post.................you are depressing me.

Nothing like a bit of Led Zeppelin. Where is the 'w', is it in Nairn?

Who ate all the poyis :010: good report Gringers, are you doing the tellywatch report for tonights game?

How good would that be, the smell of Aberdeen being beaten by the wee Higlanders from Sneck, no, not just beaten but truly stuffed, in fact stuffed enough for us to sit proudly in second spot in the SPL.................... <wakes with a start smiley, but better smileys than the site has>.................hmmmnn only thinking about it mun. Come on Charlie, have a real go and shut Calderwood up please.

Must be Brewster then, soon as he goes, United win :015:

absolutely Hairy, 2-1 to Celtic

You should have gone to welcome him Hairy, and maybe got some practice at pool when you were there.

When did they start the 'grab a granny' nights at the Innes????
