CELTIC1CALEY3

It's the one against Rangers I want to see. Tendency to feel we could be humped unless there is a massive turn around from Saturday.

Got that one right......!!!

Sky money - do Clyde lose that?

I think he is utterly remarkable getting over a serious accident at 8 years of age and reaching such a high standard of competence in a very difficult environment. He fits the bill about 'pace' mentioned by Brewster.

Excellent news.

13 January 2006 ICT Manager Craig Brewster receives the Bank of Scotland Manager of the Month award on the same day announcements are made that he is to hold talks regarding a move to SPL Rivals Dundee Utd. Caley Thistle fans should be celebrating Brewster's award today of the 'manager of the month' award for December. It was awarded for a winning month that saw Motherwell and Hibs beaten and both Celtic and Hearts held to draws. However, for fans it seems like an hollow award as once again the club face losing a manager but this time to a side currently 7 points behind them in the SPL

I think Marcus had that opportunity after Cowdenbeath but declined. The odds on him scoring twice at Hibs may have increased. This makes a great headline 'Paatelainen makes immediate impact at Easter Road!'

Utterly remarkable for such a diddy team. Now don't underestimate Hibs or shy away from Rangers or any other team. We must not get cocky! In some ways we also owe Grassa and the Chairman some credit too because they were both instrumental in making very difficult decisions.

Gretna are a pub team and anyway ICT don't do mergers anymore. Sooner or later Bob Dylan will want a stake in the club because it's blowing in the wind: 'Well my heart's in the Highlands gentle and fair Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air Bluebelles blazing, where the Aberdeen waters flow Well my heart's in the Highland, I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go Windows were shakin' all night in my dreams Everything was exactly the way that it seems Woke up this morning and I looked at the same old page Same ol' rat race Life in the same ol' cage. I don't want nothing from anyone, ain't that much to take Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery I wish someone would come And push back the clock for me (Refers to Brewster's thoughts at Dundee United last year) Well my heart's in the Highlands wherever I roam That's where I'll be when I get called home.' The lyrics tell it all regarding Cowie 'Clouds so swift Rain won't lift Gate won't close Railings froze Get your mind off wintertime You ain't goin' nowhere' He predict's the scorer of our 1,000 th goal 'Dennis, Dennis, Boy, what's on your mind? Dennis, Dennis, Boy, what's on your mind?' He's been reading the negativity about Rosscoe at the Aberdeen game too: 'The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive. He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin' He also confirmed Brewsters statement to Rankin about St Mirren's transfer bid 'Nothing was delivered And I tell this truth to you, Not out of spite or anger But simply because it's true.'

Hibs is a really dangerous place to go to for a cup tie because players seeking big money transfers - Murphy and Jones - will be keen to shine. They may just have a new Manager and new team spirit and confidence. Marais seems well up for it "Inverness, in the Scottish Cup, is a great game to pick ourselves up for, as it means a lot to the fans. Everyone is up for it and I think we'll be fine on Saturday." Some of our greatest cup games have come from adversity so here's hoping the mood in our camp is very determined.

It is odd that Robbie Savage at 33+ is worth ?1.5m and young Rankin is worth the gate money of one game.

This is quite a big loss to us. On Grampian he was quoted as saying he would play if needed before the end of the season. Let's hope the other guys dig in and keep the competition and results positive.

The guy is so indecisive.

Bigman is correct. We should add that he has been booked regularly (6 times). He did nevertheless, bring some stability after Stuart failed to grab his chance. After Saturday when Proc said he wanted the Central position on a permanent basis this did not ring true - he is McGuire's flat mate!

It would be slightly risky Nicholson going to Hearts because with an absent landlord and ?40million of debts Hearts are a prime target for administration. Sometime soon, somebody might just snitch on what has been going on at Tynecastle. Aberdeen do present as a group of players and managers driven by one thing - money - and the only person with it at the Club is the Chairman who is more anally retentive than a mole frozen to death. We owe our present position to two chairmen who were prepared to follow the Carnegie tradition.

It will be nearly impossible to score at Hibs if Malambay has filled out this much after his first Christmas in Leith.....http://www.hibs.co.uk/news/more.php?id=2537_0_1_0_C

Denzil has been baby making recently so is bound to be tired.

My thoughts as well. One bit of our history we have forgotten in the SPL is that traditionally our roots were in cup runs. We could do with a decent run again. Hibs will be ferocious opponents because they see themselves as a top cup team too. They should have a new manager so I expect training this week in the Highlands to be 'no more Mister Niceguy' for the common good. And as Charlie Bannerman has mentioned there will be football and fireworks this weekend. We will have to work far better in Leith than we have on many away grounds this season to get a result. Hibs feel bitterly aggrieved at their last visit to the Highlands and will be waiting to ambush our cup progress. Hopefully the team return to fireworks and not a damp squid. We need an early goal to get past the 1,000 mark in order to move to the next target.

Not a club bus but Hugh Dallas used the A9 to test the speed of his car after refereeing an ICT game and fell foul of Mr Plod. For those not near the tunnel today Dougie McDonald signalled no extra time in the first half but with 3 1/2 minutes over already the fourth official had to shout to him to check his watch. He quickly blew for half time. So maybe refereeing at altitude affects a referee more than team buses. Rangers and Celtic do not generally take coaches - they fly. Aberdeen cycle of course to save money. Calderwood on the back of the tandem powered by Langfield.

Even Chemistry teachers sometimes get their ingredients mixed up and their formulas wrong. http://www.cipfa.org.uk/scotland/ Accounting for the Common Good................1.6 LASAAC recognises that there are many expert commentators on the Common Good. Much of their commentary extends beyond the remit of accounting and addresses both political matters as well as stewardship issues. The expenditure of the Common Good is a matter for the discretion of the local authority provided that it is an honest exercise of discretion and that the projected use is not contrary to policy.

Own goals don't feature so far in the stats. It will probably be Rossco to silence his critics.

The time has come......

I recall the time you had Ricardo Fuller in your pocket in the momentous cup win against Hearts. He went on to become a million pound player. If you had eaten like Bobby Mann, filled out a bit then you might have done likewise. Good luck in the rest of your career which deserves to be a success. I suspect you will really enjoy the surface at St Johnstone and potentially develop a great partnership with James.

According to reports back in training - see below. Fit and finn. Fri 07 Dec, 01:30 PM Inverness boss Craig Brewster has a worry over top scorer Dennis Wyness ahead of Saturday's SPL clash with Hibernian at the Caledonian Stadium.The striker has a hamstring problem and is struggling to be fit, while Ross Tokely also misses out through suspension. Long-term absentees Steven Watt (ankle) and Markus Paatelainen (Achilles) have both now returned to training, although neither are in the squad.
