    He will surely be Manager of the Month for April given our league record this month. 5 wins and a draw in our 6 games. 

    Let’s hope he doesn’t get awarded that until after the Ayr game then!!

    As you say, you weren't at the game.  You can't judge an entire performance on a single lucky break.

    You may want to watch the highlights to refresh your memory on the goal, without the blue and red tinted specs!

    Mackay was tenacious in bundling his way into the box, but his 'cross' hit two other players before luckily dropping into the path of Samuels to bundle it home.  It was far from a great goal, other than in importance to our play off chances!

    We stole a point from a game which we should have got nothing, thankfully!

    Absolutely seething Dodds has a record of 1 defeat in 11 😂

    Its plausible but only result that I have next to no confidence about happening is Cove winning at Dens. I would take 2nd place and looking at QP's run in then it is a great chance if we win all our remaining games. But funnier things have happened and even a draw between Ayr and QP could still be profitable for us. But from where we came from and what we have had to do to get into this position then i would rather make sure we finish top 4 than hope for a dangerous set of results that may win us the title but unlikely

    Yup, I’ll be cheering on Queen’s Park tonight. It’s too late in the season for that, let’s just secure the playoffs and keep the season going as long as we can.

    Who cares?  They're a 2 bit amateur outfit who's existence, regardless of name, makes them entirely inconsequential to us.

    Given the problems at our own club, I think some people have their priorities all wrong.

    They play the league below Darvel, who beat Aberdeen (the league above us) in terms of leagues that’s the same. A name change like this should be forever. What’s to say they don’t win a few promotions in the future and we dip a couple? We might not be near them now but could well be in the future.

    Quick Quiz question- 1 point for each correct answer - When was the last time that we played Ayr United on the last day of the season ? What was the significance of that result? Who did we surprisingly prevent from being promoted ? Is that all pure coincidence?

    Were we even as far back this season? Interesting thought that

    We have Mr Inverness enjoying the game...or a game...on his phone.

    Thankfully for Gordy Fyffe, Director seats have built in commodes...but clearly Mr Fraser behind him is still catching a whiff!

    Grassa having a snooze.  Impossible to tell from an image if he's inebriated, so please nobody suggest it.

    The 3 Witches...rumoured to be the source if the magic keeping Billy Dodds, Scot Gardiner and John Robertson in a job.

    A very disinterested (or worried) looking Chairman...nice to actually see him in public, though.

    Behind the Chairman...he might be wearing shades, but Beaker from the Muppets is fooling nobody.

    Any other observations?

    Must be hard for you to see us winning 3 in a row just now.

    Thank you. I stand corrected.  It seems strange then that they would choose not to use the thistle on their new badge.  Surely if you are going to call yourself "Thistle" you put a thistle on your badge.  They are using a picture of an old locomotive instead.  Lots of opportunities to use names which better reflect the local heritage of where the club is now located.  There seems to be a general mocking of the club for this idiotic suggestion and I can't see it will get approval from the SFA.

    It seems that the Partick Thistle Charitable Trust are being overly Charitable.

     

    I could be wrong but I think on the front of the locomotive they have attempted to put a tiny Thistle on it. The badge has been made from free vectors that could have been knocked up in 5 minutes. The whole thing seems lazy and rushed. I can’t see them lasting too long outside of the community identity if honest.

    I can understand why they would want to use "Caledonian" but there is no good reason for tagging on "Thistle".  I doubt that will go down to well with Partick either.  Surely one Thistle in Glasgow is quite enough.  If they want to to focus on the Railway  theme, why not Caledonian Locos or Caledonian Sleepers.  There's only one Caley Thistle.

    Have you seen Rossvales badge? This might have something to do with the Thistle.

    As far as I can see, the renewal date was in 2022 for Inverness Caledonian Thistle but was not renewed so has been removed from the trade mark register.  But, as you say, Caledonian Thistle does not look like it was ever registered!

    Yeah I think you’re correct. No wonder we are getting involved, a scramble to get our trademark back id imagine.

    That’s a basic function that every business should diligently ensure they keep up to date. Trademarks should be seen as important assets that are key to any company.

    What else could we have been careless about over the years?

    Meanwhile Rossvale have issued this statement:

    https://rossvalefcacademy.co.uk/club-statement/ 

    Anyone with any local knowledge who can explain what it all means?

    It says that the team that plays in the West of Scotland League separated from the club called Rossvale and is changing its name to Caledonian Thistle FC.

    If it had been announced on 1 April I’d have thought it was an April Fool. 

    Rossvale were a community club that added a juniors side to the pyramid called  Rossvale Juniors. It looks like they are back tracking on that now and telling them to move on with a new name. Im unsure on why that is though.

    Looks like the club have not renewed the trademark on the name Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC or the trademark of the badge for some reason!

    Looks to me it was renewed in 2022 but as Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Nothing in for our historical name Caledonian Thistle which is a bit of a blunder.

    Perhaps they have done a financial deal with our dodgy board 🤣🤣

    What I have noticed is they are very discreet with the Thistle as well. Maybe they are trying to steal our identity.

    Absolutely ridiculous, they change their name because they don’t have the rights to it. Then call themselves Caledonian Thistle 😂

    What is it with these Lowland League teams that can’t stick to a name for five minutes.

  14. In hindsight it was clearly a stupid decision and I feel bad for both sets of fans who opposed this at the time. Who was to know the pyramid would open up and allow teams to reach their true level though, at that time it wasn’t really believable. 

    I never supported either club from before but always take an interest in their history.
