Good to see the players and coaches playing golf at Torvean today. ?️‍♀️

It might have been a team bonding session with Kellacher and Polworth playing in pairs

Fly Maybe..... Twice this year I have booked Flymaybe flights, once to Belfast City and once to Birmingham and they then changed the times, rendering the flights useless and messing up the trips. Flybe are useless.

The Caley Club bus would be much more likely to get you to the stadium as planned for a home tie against Falkirk.

I like that one Charles 'Flymaybe flights'

My dad won the Orkney Ba one year can’t remember if it was the Christmas Day or New Year’s Day one I must ask him again. He was an uppie not a doonie as my Gran lived in George Street in front of the bignold park  Yes IBM same name too I used to always get called young Les as an apprentice and he was guess what OLD LES 

It's both  and they are mad b*****s  I am glad not to have stayed there and had to do that although the party after would be good.

Was a great dance floor upstairs 

And you could park in the car park for 10 minutes without getting a ticket

Just a new beginning. 

With all the reasons for going to football being given I think people have missed the most important of the lot. It beats having to go shopping with the wife 

Oh dear and I thought you went for the football

It was good to see a couple of the young uns and their flags and drum on Saturday hopefully one or two more will start coming back 

The drummer needs a bit more practice though

I watched them late 60's till the end. Never got to the Corrie much as I always had my son with me. Halcyon days.

That's some sentence you had

Not the best of ties but at least it’s at home. Would be nice to see some playing improvement by then but not overly confident and with them having Hartley in charge they will be buoyant. When does our new manager bounce start ?

This Saturday 

Dundee United with a much larger support than us had just over 1000 on Saturday.

Scotty lives abroad? Why has he never mentioned this?

Your Location:Inverness

Scottys Location: Toronto 

It's in front of your nose 

I traveled from Scrabster to Stromness on the St Clair once when the St Ola was away for annual refit, although a bit rough the crossing only took 1 hour 30 minutes  as I was coming off the ship I said to one of the crew it was the quickest I had done the crossing and he said the captain was F*****g mad and trying for a record on the crossing!

My later crossings for work were on Pentland Ferries who were less than half the price of Northlink for my works van and they were providing a service with no subsidy like Northlink!  An interesting book to read is Pentland Hero which is about Pentland Ferries.

snorbens when I used the ferries with my car I disabled the alarm which was the best thing to do and you could still lock it.

First job I ever worked on as an apprentice IBM was the telephone exchange building at the rear of the building facing Church Street. I think the main contractor was called Holst or similar. A lot of the pipe was being done in Cast Iron with leaded joints. Couldn’t believe how heavy it was at 1st bit of a shock coming straight from school 

You must be a lot older than I thought I was still doing lead plumbing in the early 90's (hot on the hands) on the old lead sheath copper cables  and I am sure there are still many of them still working.

Has anyone stopped to consider that it may also be failings in our fitness training that are making things worse for Dave ?

Yes and the rest of the team some of them looked knackered in the second half yesterday against a part time team!

He has been a great player for ICT over the years, and I agree that every player comes to a time when his career is coming to an end, but it would be beneficial for ICT to offer him a deal on the money that the new players are on. He could pass on his experience to the new squad and be there when called upon. It may not be what Raven wants, but it would be worthwhile to find out.

If your employer asked you to stay on and pass on your experience for less than half the wages you are on now what would you say?

Mulraney is a club legend for some of them. 

Whilst agreeing with what Kingsmills says (Ofere for example is not a club legend) but Raven has been here for a good few years and largely been dependable and a solid player for us. He was part of the side that really kicked on under Butcher and saw us cement ourselves as a top six side for a good few years so whilst legend might be a but much for Raven he should definitely be thought of as an ICT favourite forever written in ICT folklore with that goal v Celtic. Oh, and this screamer v County...

 

Doh if only we had played like that even a couple of times last season against County! 

Going to the game today hoping for a win but just don't know what to expect  

I don't think you will see Richie Foran back in football management again

Its Scrabster harbour but this is the one before the Hamnavoe

 

This is the St Ola leaving Stromness which came into service in 1971 the first roll on-roll off ferry on the Scrabster route.  The old one in the black & white photo entering Scrabster harbour was also St Ola and entered service in 1951 with the vehicles being loaded with the (derek) crane onboard was renamed St Ola 11 in 1971.

Second Row did confuse me with the jam and bread

Aren't most things? I'm sure if the board knew how things would turn out, they would have done it differently. 

I have said before that I was glad at the time that the board decided to rebuff both the approach for Hughes by United, and Aberdeen's bid for Tansey. 

With the benefit of hindsight, I wish they'd accepted both. 

You are right Hawkeye the twice the club stood our ground on transfers and lost out on both
