  1. Think CC has already stated that Rankin will make home debut against Sheffield United, but due to some 'arrangement' with County, he will not play against them on the Saturday.
  2. "Mee, you're obviously too old to appreciate good music" Thats not an insult, that is fact!
  3. Listen, there is no other opinion that matters. There is no right or wrong. There is no argument http://www.eaglerockent.com/e-cards/Thorogood-HS/index.htm
  4. Disappointing scoreline. Was Bavidge playing for us then as we missed a lot of one on ones? We seem to have an inability to break down defences convincingly. Not our strongest team out, but still plenty of SPL experience that should have seen us through. Ach well, it's still pre-season, lets hope things improve rapidly. Maybe Peterhead are our bogey team. :010:

    Charles I was at that one as well, Jimmy Calder was the striker. He was striker for Grantown in the Strathspey & Badenoch Welfare League. Funnily enough, when we came out of Parkhead, we were met with a similar question from a Glesca cabbie, "whits the score, by the way Jimmy", "six nil" was the reply........"who for" was his next serious question :015: The same game Danny McGrain got his ear clipped by the trainer on his way to treat Black after a hefty challenge in the first few minutes

    I was aware it is a by the people, for the people site. It gives the gist of the merger, if not all the small print and crossing of t's and dotting of i's etc. It's close enough for laymen like me. I was not actually trying to discuss the merger, but give relevant info on the origins of the three Inverness clubs, really for those a bit younger and not so knowledgeable. I would go along with 1984-85 as well, I was at the game and it was just fine. Nothing wrong with your memory Charles.

    Sorted, error somewhere, probably me, thought I cut'n'pasted the article, maybe not:- Clachnacuddin F.C. are a semi-professional senior football club from the city of Inverness who currently play in Scotland's Highland Football League. Their home ground is Grant Street Park in the city's Merkinch area. They were founded in 1886 and are nicknamed the Lilywhites (due to their white strip) or Clach. Their name is Scots Gaelic and means "the stone of the tubs", referring to a city landmark EWS, this is the Rangers item. Rangers were founded in 1873.............. I didn't realise they were losted. In 1872, the brothers Peter and Moses McNeil, William McBeath and Peter Campbell saw a group of men playing football on Glasgow Green's Flesher's Haugh and decided to form a team of their own. The team's first game was in May of 1872 against Callander F.C. on Flesher's Haugh, which resulted in a 0-0 draw. Moses McNeil suggested the name Rangers after seeing the name in a book about English Rugby. Rangers only played two matches in their birth year and their second match was a comprehensive 11-0 win over a team named Clyde - not the present Clyde F.C. Rangers began to grow into a more formal football club and in 1876, for the first time, a player was called up to play international football as Moses McNeil made his Scotland debut against Wales. In 1888 the now famous Old Firm fixture was born as Rangers met Celtic for the first time in a friendly match which Celtic won 5-2. By 1890 the Scottish league was formed and Rangers enjoyed a victorious first season as they finished joint-top with Dumbarton F.C. and after a play-off match finished 2-2, the title was shared. Rangers had to wait until 1884 to taste their first Scottish Cup success after losing to Vale of Leven F.C. in 1877 and 1879 but finally lifted the trophy for the first time after a 3-1 win over Celtic F.C. Rangers even came close to winning the English FA Cup in 1887 when they lost to Aston Villa F.C. in the semi-final. Rangers ended the nineteenth century with further Scottish cup wins 1897 and 1898 and a League championship win in 1899 during which they won every one of their 18 league matches. Rangers formally became a business company in 1899 and match secretary William Wilton was appointed as the clubs first manager. The club also appointed its first board of directors under the chairmanship of James Henderson. Rangers were well on their way to becoming one of Scotland's top clubs. Might as well go the whole hog:- Inverness Thistle Football Club (Inverness Thistle F.C.) were a football club playing in the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. They were members of the Highland Football League, winning the championship five times, including its inaugural season: 1893-94. They wore in black and red striped strips and played their home games at Kingsmills Park. Like many clubs featuring the name "Thistle", they were often known as the Jags. They occasionally qualified for the Scottish Cup. Many regard their most famous result to be the defeat of Kilmarnock F.C. - 3-0 - in season 1989-90. When their became two vacancies in the Scottish League in time for season 1994-95 Thistle decided to apply for membership. However to improve their chances they decided to merge with city rivals Caledonian F.C. who also wanted to apply, as they felt it unlikely both clubs would get both places, and perhaps neither would gain entry if they both applied. This decision was not without controversy. Fans of both clubs bitterly opposed the merger and many tried to stop it. In this they were unsuccessful, and the new entity, Caledonian Thistle F.C. (subsequently renamed Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.) were elected along with Ross County F.C. to membership of the Scottish League's Third Division for season 1994-95. Caledonian Football Club (Caledonian F.C.) were a football club from the city of Inverness, Highland, Scotland. It is possible that the club was formed in 1885, though some sources quote 1986. They were founder members of the Highland Football League in 1893 and wore strips of blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks. Their home ground was Telford Street Park, located beside the Caledonian Canal, and they were known by the nickname Caley. One of the Highland League's larger clubs, they won the competition eighteen times- a record they held until they ceased to exist in 1994. Another Inverness side, Clachnacuddin, equalled this record in 2004. Caledonian also qualified for the Scottish Cup many times, knocking-out larger League clubs on a total of 19 occasions. In 1993, the Scottish Football League decided to expand and restructure. This meant that two vacancies for membership would be available. Caledonian decided to apply for membership, as did city rivals Inverness Thistle. The SFL hinted that a joint application might be more successful and the boards of Caley and Thistle decided to merge. This decision was met with widespread opposition by supporters of both sides but an amalgamation went ahead. The new club, Caledonian Thistle (later Inverness Caledonian Thistle), were granted membership to the Third Division at the beginning of Season 1994-1995 so now we know :003: all info from wikipedia

    """Who are you to say she will grow out of it?!""" I am the one she should be listening to, not all this dance guff at her age. She should know better than to play records loud and pump up the volume. Trust me 17, you will grow tired of the music and the scene that belongs with it. Go and watch real music, pop in to one of the live venues near you, go on, you know you can do it....... you can get help for this. Speak to someone about this, it's not too late, you are not beyond help, no one will know you have been, take the first steps...................."hello, I'm rossco17 and I listen to dance music all over the world, please don't think badly of me, I want to come back to the real world", you know you can do it, but mee, she is past it, all washed up, she will never recover I'm afraid. Anyway, she has her old favourites Runrig to keep her happy:003:

    Wasn't over impressed with Campbell, tended to try and beat the defender one time too often, but he still had a decent game, and he seemed fairly quick, looks about the same build as Dargo and looks about 12. One sided affair as said above. Grant Munro had good game and Hart put in a lot of effort. One left footer tipped onto the crossbar was travelling at some speed. Jimmy Calder made two or three testimonial saves just to show he can still do it. Bayne and Wyness will be down the pecking order if this is the standard they are going to set for the season ahead, neither covering themselves in glory. Caff solid Russeldhino nutmegged one defender and overall dictated the midfield, but still some passes were astray. All in all, an entertaining if one way traffic game. Tannoy man "todays official attendance was 400, one dog and a bike":015:class act1 EWS, wikipedia gave me the info, I did wonder, then thought....nobody will notice. If it's not an error, maybe the inception of the club was not formalised/founded till later, only guessing, is ther not something like that with Rangers, being founded a year or two after the club was formed. I will try and find out.

  19. I can exclusively reveal that Juanjo is recovering in his cage after some form of paralysis in his right leg. But he can fly ok, it's just that he has to get his feet into position first and if he is not prepared in time, he crashes on to his side and falls onto his back. However, he is much better than he was, but the paralysis looks like being long term :009:

    Stop putting words in peoples mouths. Some of them use musicians some of them use electronic sounds. Some of them use musicians and then enhance or mix or whatever the term is, but they can't go on stage at the same time to create that effect, thus their musicianship is sometimes brought into question. I for one don't question the sound that is ultimately produced, in the right place at the right time it can be the right sound for the job. For me, the idea of watching someone play a record live on stage or start a pc live on stage does not compare to watching a band produce live music from instuments in their hands. Trust me, you will grow out of it.

    As you obviously have no taste in music, probably stinted by licking wet nettles, there is no argument to uphold. Dance music is not just about music, there is a lot of baggage that goes along with it, as unfortunately there is with other music genres. I can tap my feet along to some of the rhythms, they have a reasonable beat, but comparing them to musicians is just ludicrous. Most music types are just fads, call it what you like, but will dance music have the same cult following as the classic rock legends that we remember today. Dance music is just that, music for dancing to, borne out of the old style disco tripe. Everyone to their own thing, but everyone has their own opinions on music, just as Hamish prefers rocky stuff , why should he be told to like dance music, it's like the English media telling us we must support England during the world cup. Me, I can listen to most music, but would not go out of my way purchase some garbage. Music is something which can grip you in the moment, everyone has let their hair down that bit further even when hearing music they would not normally bop to, it is like a drug, or even alcohol, but in the morning when the effects wear off so does the music and we revert to type, for the sake of our street cred. Thank goodness for that. Live and let live, and get your wet nettles ready.

  24. Naelifty's, he might not reply for a couple of months as he has just flown off to Thailand tonight for a nine week sabatical, touring round the lower hemisphere, Oz etc. Real music, he likes that sort of stuff, he has learned the guitar from long nights in Edinburgh studenting and is familiar with all the classic rockers.
  25. Dars, I thought I said on a previous post that youngsters have been in the bar pre-match. Probably not after match though. You could ask when you are in before the game if you would be allowed in afrter for a while. Last couple of seasons youngsters accompanied with parents have been present prior to games, I see no reason this would have changed, but I will ask before you come up.
