The kid is actually pointing out that the opposition are now two down PAY CLOSER ATTENTION ALEX, ITS 2 - 2!!

Pre season friendlies. Has any one heard if Terry intends to take the squad away for hot weather training, with a few games thrown in, or shall we be doing the circuit de highland league. Cant recall if Terry had a favoured destination when he was with Motherwell, but some managers like to go to areas they know. Highland league doesnt do us any harm at all, and if it made the difference of another signing it might be worth it. Anyone heard whats occurring yet

Was never any where near one of my favorites. knew that he had plenty of ability BUT found it frustrating that he didnt do it often enough, and found that he lost the ball too often from trying too hard. Scored a few spectacular goals though. Prefer the more skillful Johnny Hayes, more consistant and more end result. THANKYOU

The Caledonian was just about next door to Pittodrie

Spoke to Robert Eagle before this was announced, and he was saying it took him until Xmas to settle up here. Has a young kid back down south and said it was a bit of getting used to not seeing him. Thought he might have merited another year. Lionel, Bully fell out of Terry's circle of trust - so the writing was on the wall. Sorry for Duff, but if he is still to train with us there is still hope for him I suppose

And believe it or not, West Ham will be one of the lower payers. Imagine Man U, Man C, Chelsea, and the like. West ham have a few over 30,000 per week, some clubs have similar numbers over 100,000 per week. Jack Collison was in the first team beside millionaires, and keeping some out of the team

Always remember being told that for every 50 players trialed maybe one is good enough, so to make up a squad of 15 youth players ( and were talking under 10s ) it takes a very keen eye to spot some promising talent, although a few will stand out from the crowd. Then as they get proper coaching, from the guys that go out and do their coaching badges - not the know alls at the side of the pitch who lambast every decision. They are specifically trained to nurture the best out of the talent they have, and often finding the position to best suit the player. Every year players will be dropped, moved on for different reasons, with others coming in. It would be pretty rare that any player spotted at 7 or 8 years old is still at a club at 18 -19. As all the distractions that come along add pressure to these guys. Careers, money, social life, wine women and song as it were, can change the youngsteras attitude. So I would say that if any youth player makes it all the way through the ranks and plays for the first team, it must be an incredibly proud moment for the Youth trainers to see, always hoping they can then make it to become a regular in the squad. I know that at the moment the youth players at the club are amongst the best they have ever produced. Liam Polworth being a shinning example having been picked for Scotland youth squads, played, scored, and not ever looked out of place. However, a danger sometimes is some exceptional players never achieve at the top level having peaked too early, or burnt them selves out. And its the players that have just hung in there who do make good professionals at top clubs. Over the years Inverness and the surrounding area has had few exceptional players, most likely due to the level of football in the area with the Highland league ( which harboured many a player who were good enough to play at a much higher level ). I personally think that as ICT has grown in stature so has our standard of youth teams, Training and players. Out of the 15s and 17s at the moment a good dozen to fifteen have a very good chance of going on to have a career in full time football, with many of these unrecognised at national level, probably purely because other clubs have better players in their squads at the moment. That doesnt mean thay are not real talents. However the longer we are at the summit of Scottish football the better the standards become, and the more consistant levels of player we will produce. In Terry Butcher and Maurice Malpas I also think we have two men of football intelligence who know when to blood promising players, without harming their progress. Hope Im proven right, as I think they had a very good track record of this at Motherwell, and our good promising guys will get a shout if they show they are capable. The future is bright

For 5ive phucing minutes, we have just won the championship, one game short of our unbeaten record, 9 wins in a row, 6000 plus at a home game, 99.9% of them home fans, created history as the biggest turn around in points advantage ever, beat your closest rivals to the title, beat the team with all the money, and on the back of relegating a team the week before with what was the performance of the season away from home when they had already won the league and didnt need to perform. I dont know. Thought it was all very well behaved. More risk of a riot when Rob Stewart came out. Still more than most enjoyed the fact that it was our party and not Dundee's! thats why were champions, thats why were champions, thats why were champions, thats why were champions!

Yes we did and got a thumping, but remember a bit of a rumpus as we didnt get a home tie first, as you normally have the flag unfurling for the first game

One game short of matching our unbeaten run. Think I am right in saying as 1st division winners we would normally start the SPL season at home to unfurl the championship flag, and as champions it will normally be against one of the lower teams from the SPL this season. It would be amazing to match the record as we will have achieved it at a much higher level this time. Heres hoping the boys break that record and re write our history books again.

Can not see why people are acting like its a big suprise. Top scorer 27 goals in all compititions, after struggling to get a starting place early on n the season. When we struggled last season in the SPL, Adam was our top scorer when he hardly got a start. Although he misses a few, he will always be there to get on the end of chances. Though that Adam would score consistantly given a run of games, and so it has been proved. Really hope he extends his stay just to see what our Shamrock attack can achieve with the squad we are likely to have nexy season. As our main striker next season, I would hope that avoiding injury he might be pushing 15 - 18 goals, and anything over that would be a bonus. Added to that Foran and Hayes will likely match his total between them. Heres to an outstanding season in the SPL, and can see us matching St Johnstone's achievements this season. Trust Tel and Mo to pluck a few more stars from the shaddows elsewhere to blend into the squad. TCS looks like a good place to be next season.

If we were to move, build a stadium with home ends almost on top of the pitch to increase the atmosphere, but keep away fans a distance away. Try and protect the pitch from the wind, and the fans from the weather. Build a hotel and bar at stadium, and training centre to be the envy of the football world, and employ the entire Barcalona youth coaches and managers to produce the best talent in the world, helping make ICT a world force in football and the core supplier to the Scotland squad whilst breaking the dominance of the old firm.

Oh No! My final cast of the season hoping to get a bite from an insecure and sensitive L'pool fan and my line gets caught up with a little tiddler of a Man City fan. Not much of a bite. Yes well Liverpool fan here. Nice to see Liverpool do what true fans want the team to do today. Keeping the title away from Old Trafford. Still 5 European / Champions league titles is something you wont match for a long time yet. Jose Mourinho for Liverpool!

Im reliably informed neither of them mind being in the west stand

Johnny Hayes was letting the ink dry yesterday. Finishing of his tattoo at Inverink!

EXCELLENT. Saw it in the P n J this morning. Shows they have a lot of belief and faith in what they are doing, from both Tel an Mo, and importantly from the club.

The truth is out there. Rage against the Machine to warm up the crowd, Oasis at half time to entertain all with their bouncebackability gig And after the game The Pogues and the Dubliners to get the party going. No matter who it is we will all be partying and it will be brilliant. ICT must be the only club winning promotion or a title who are doing this for the fans. All those involved should be applauded for their efforts, and bought drinks all day and all night, along with the players after they lift the league trophy

Thought it was a late late April fools day, and took this with good humour until you said SORRY. Sorry but I will be supporting anyone who plays them. Simples. No choice.

I may be putting two and two together, but has anyone else noticed the increased advertising on this site. New sponsers?

P and J picture of the fans on the park. Can see plenty of familiar faces. Are you in it yourself. Can see myself, Mrs Bauhaus, and 1 of the 4 kids. Others hidden by Tel. Any one know how many made the journey from Hell with the A9 blocked?

Think that the way we are playing, and the focus on our attractive style of attacking football coupled with promotion and the Shamrock we should be a prime target for an Irish sponser. Ryanair, Guiness, Magners, Bushmills etc etc etc Personally prefer the blue and red Barca/Palace strips, and would favour an away strip with strips too based on alternative colours such as Black/Blue of the Internazonalie style

Seem to recall he is signed for another season. Knew it was Gavin Morrison straight away as my son knows him and said even before kick off. He also said that he is a very decent player. He was not wrong.

STAND UP IF YOU KNOW YOUR SH1T

Usually get a signed top from the player you sponser, as long as it was the home or away you do.

By the way seem to remember commenting on our seasons promise before the start that we would struggle for a while, as most relegated teams play without heart at first, and once you get over that we would be stronger for it. However, didnt think Dee would get 15 points better off than us, but in the first half we showed what we were capable of, but only for one half at a time. Once that got eradicated, WE WAS SORTED
