Kingsmills

With so many clubs having decamped into anonomous concrete and steel cloned stadia of varying sizes there must now be dozens of former football grounds throughout the United Kingdom serving different purposes. Locally, those new functions are all too boring and mundane with Kingsmills turned over to housing, Telford Street to a retail park, Muirton Park now being home to an ASDA and Peterhead's old ground at Recreation Park housing yet another Supermarket. Surely somewhere on this Island there is an old football stadium serving a more interesting purpose. Does anyone know of any old grounds which have actually been converted into something worthwhile ?

Frustration.

On balance, 3.

Tend to agree. Anyway who would get the outsixed bottle of Bells if the award went to the team of the month ?

So are ICT to feature this saturday for sure ?

So all being well he could feature at some stage against Killie. He usually does well against his former employers.

Michael has done fairly well since his rapid promotion to first choice 'keeper but we will still need another experienced custodian as cover and competition for next season.

Defamation

Any chance of Dargo returning, he usually does rather well against his former employers ?

That means he is now probably out of our league.

Pan drops yes but alas Penny Dainties are no more.

Although it's ancient history now, their was little transaparency in what exactly each party brought to the table in terms of assets. However the final figure after disposal of their respective assets was roughly two thirds Caley and one third Thistle. However it's impossible to see the relevance of that now nearly a decade and a half on when most of the working capital of the club is that invested by a commercial contruction company and it's erstwhile chairman. ICT is a dream that would never have come to fruition without the sacrafices that took place in both sides quite some time ago now. The fact of the matter is that the enterprise has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of most Cley ad Thistle members who took that bold step and the success will only continue with the same amount of application and determination of all those associated with he club from the chairman down to occasional attendees in the future.

I too thought that this would be Barry's last season but he appears to be on course to overtake CC as the player with the second highest appearance record for the club and Iain Stewart as the second top scorer. In fact, unless Denzil gets his finger out next season there's an outside possibility that he could retre as the club's record goal scorer.

The next four matches are crucial. The difference between tenth and sixth place in financial terms is over £300,000. That sort of cash will have a huge impact on ourability to recruit and retain players for next season.

I detest discrimination especially racism in any form but can't for the life of me see anything wrong in Harry's original post. If anybody is that over sensitive then they ought simply to aquire a thicker skin.

For any number of reasons I'd prefer to see the Perth Saints rather than Gretna make the step up to the SPL

As an, increasingly, old Jaggie, I accept that the merger was less than equal although more equal than once might have been the case before it was discovered, amost by accident, that Thistle actually owned Kingsmills, rather than, as had long believed to be the case, were merely tenants of the Church of Scotland. Nevertheless, the fact that the the most common nickname is Caley is not an issue especially givn the fact that after more than a decade after the merger most of the media and indeed thoase associated with the club more often than not use the title Caley Thistle or some corruption or varaition thereof. The history of the club is well known and secure. It matters not to this ICT supporter what the club is known as informally as long as it continues to prosper on and off the park. The fact that the chant is Caley and the strip is predominately blue is a small price to pay for seeing top flight football in Inverness after a century of being shunned by the national associations. Come on the Jags !

Take consolation from the fact that you have 84 minutes to resign yourself to defeat rather than have that fate befall you right at the death with victory almost in sight.

Top six is still possible but only if wetake maximum points from the Arabs on saturday. It will be very interesting to see what sort of effect sunday's late kick in the teeth has on the attitude of the plyers.

Maybe he feels he does't need to attract any further attention.

When Craig was injured originally the suggestion was that he would be back by now as his dislocated shoulder was reset immediately without surgery. Now it seems that he's not even back in training. My suspicious mind is wondering whether Craig himself is not too oncerned about an early return so that he is not risking further injury prior to signing for his new club in the summer.
