Kingsmills

I might have missed mine. I was out when the telegram boy rang the bell this afternoon.

Me too but I agree that, while it is good that something is happening now, an acknowledgement and apology on Saturday would have been better.

Reurned to the main forum after the pleasing news that Dave's return is no longer a rumour.

I am sure that absolutely everyone connected to the club will get behind him and support him after his personal tragedy. That's what the ICT family have a proud record of doing despite any differences we may otherwise have. I am equally sure that his eventual return to first team action will be a tremendous boost to our promotion campaign.

As expected, Scotland end their participation in the tournament with a heavy defeat to Pakistan who have, thus far, been imperious in the group. No disgrace in that. However, they will be ruing the fact that they were outplayed in every fixture. Particularly disappointing will be the heavy defeats to Afghanistan and Namibia who, on their day, they are well capable of beating. Looking forward to the semi finals now being contested by the four best teams in the group stages any one of whom could win the trophy.

I was impressed with Duku when he first arrived and was convinced he would make a very positive impact. Now I see why he never seems to last more than a season at any club.

That too would seem to be a reasonable goodwill gesture.

I am a lawyer and, in all probability, harsh as it seems, that clause would probably be upheld. However, I do think it would be a reasonable goodwill gesture from Ayr to refund maybe £8

The only positive to take from today is that somehow we managed to lose no ground to anyone else in the top four. However, what a wasted opportunity to seize the practical and psychological advanage we could have had by going back top of the league if we could only hold onto the lead, not once but twice, against a poor Ayr side. We were fortunate with other results this week but that will not always be the case and if we are going to remain competitive we will have to be very much better

Still a rumour but, given how important he was to us last season and during our winning run at the start of this, it would, without revealing any personal details, to have some information from the club before too much longer.

£6 a point would strike me as good value.

I imagine that if it wasn't bringing in at least some nett additional income then clubs would have stopped it by now. Seens to me that if it brings in more income to the club and permits fans who for various reasons, including failing health, to 'attend' matches both home and away there is great merit on making it a permanent feature. Maybe we should consider a PPV only season ticket for our home matches next season and beyond.

To all those making the long trip to Ayr, have a grear day at the seaside. Can you please bring me back some shells from the beach, a stick of rock and three points.

Sheer exploitation. I will watch as I am in a position to afford to without giving it much thought. Others are not so fortunate. A poor show from the 'Honest Men'.

Simple run chase duly completed. I would not be quite so hard on our players as you given that they were up against an Indian team packed with superstars. I would also dispute that New Zealand were in third gear given that it was a must win game for them in their quest to qualify for the semi finals.

Might have been useful for the site to have clearly and prominently stated that in the first place.

After a crushing and humiliating defeat by a team even lower than we are in the world rankings, Scotland restore pride by being very competitive both with bat and ball in defeat to a New Zealand team who remain one of the favourites for the tournament.

Well done. Seven seems to be their lucky number. Usually takes the men's team seven games to score seven goals.

Surely Satan is in favour of all things Halloween related...

Since this thread has gone completely off topic, isn't it odd that no community in Scotland with official city status has a senior football club named City but we have two senior clubs called City based in towns that are not officially cities.

Panama cannabis FC ?

If they have I would be intrigued to know how a football club came to be named after a stone in the river which generations of washer women had used to beat the clothes dry.

At risk of developing into 'Old Inverness' but I used to love being taken to Melven's as a child. Even more so if the trip into town also involved a bottle of Coke in the Locarno Cafe and maybe even a visit to the toy shop in the Market.

You are absolutely right. These senior moments are getting increasingly frequent 😁

The best book written so far about Highland football has to ve Alex Main's 'In A Different League' Sadly, it has veen out of print for very many years now.
