    With that pricing think it's safe to say we might well see the worst top flight attendance ever for a highland derby The derby should be a showpiece event for the highlands sadly it's now being diluted into a normal run of the mill game Greed is a terrible trait Dougal

    From someone who idolised Jim Leishman I think your opinion regarding how good or bad football managers are should be taken with a pinch of salt Dougal
  3. Richie Foran knows his legs are gone, I think deep down he knows he's going to have to go out on loan next season if he wants first team action guaranteed Elgin City would be an option and I've heard from a reliable source that they are interested Dougal

    The present ICT board reminds me of the Celtic board of the late eighties(IHE will verify as he was a regular in the jungle at the time) Celtic won the double in their centenary year then sat back without pushing on and let it all decay away due to neglect and mis-management Yogi took us to two cup finals and cemented himself as the most successful and greatest ever ICT manager yet he's been hung out to dry by a backward thinking board I wish Big Yogi well whatever he decides to do, I shudder to think who will be the next gaffer it certainly won't be anyone of the same calibre sadly Dougal
  5. Guilty consciences - the remorse they feel to previous offences must eat away at them not that they will ever admit it though of course As time goes on I don't even feel any empathy towards them just embarrassment Dougal
  6. Fair enough you could argue it is but it is one establishment I've not had the misfortune to enter in years Even in highland league days it seemed to attract some of the biggest roasters in Inverness Suppose it's a good place to store the cake ingredients though what with its catering facilities Dougal
  7. Nowt to do with your memory you just consistently post pure p1sh, any normal person would do some research at least if you weren't even at the game What an embarrassing mess!!!!! Dougal
  8. Id recommend The Beano or The Dandy before Against All Odds Its wrong for CTO to advertise such a publication claiming it gives a balanced account of the merger Dougal
  9. You have to applaud the Gellions for starting such a venture. Inverness must be the only town/city till now that doesn't have a supported club running from a local boozer. Cant help thinking that caleyjagsforever must be silently seething not that they would admit it though Gives the day to day punter a choice which is a good thing Putting it simply if you want to bake cakes and sing shania twain songs you go with caleyjagsforever but if you want the traditional football experience you go with the gellions Dougal
  10. Yeah every time you log on without fail Anyway surely these gentlemen have now set a precedent, if these two stewards are on duty next season we will surely see an empty away stand within five minutes of the game starting when Sevco are back in town Dougal
  11. ^^^^^^ Without doubt took various hidings from Aberdeen and Hibs when a Celtic scarfer. Probably explains why he's soft in the head now Like jagster says it's hard to believe two thirds of Scottish clubs allegedly have these type of groups Other than the usual old firm behaviour I can only remember a skirmish between Hearts and St Johnstone when both clubs were both in the highlands the same day I assume we are one of the clubs that don't have such a group attached mainly due to our relatively low attendances and the keyboard warriors Dougal
  12. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35544730 Having experienced this first time should we be worried about unrest on the streets of Sneck or are the authorities/media simply overreacting? Dougal
  13. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/inverness/1342582-ross-draper-i-may-not-have-signed-new-deal-if-ict-had-plastic-pitch/ Well said Ross it's about time someone spoke out regarding this nonsense, think I speak for the majority of ICT fans regarding this subject; ICT must never lay an artificial surface they play on grass and they will continue to do so, there is enough plasticity as it is without adding to it Ok the surfaces have vastly improved since the QPR or Luton days back in the 80s but the surface is still highly dangerous and players don't want to play on it as the chance of injury increases ten fold Leave it for the MLS where disney characters etc can dance about on it, the only clubs that have introduced it in this country are those that try and get an unfair advantage on their opponents Dougal
  14. Looking forward to hearing the aftermath of this private meeting "When the women's guild meets green street!!! Lets hope caleyjagsforever behave themselves Dougal
  15. Kingsmills you certainly ain't the brightest but I suppose you lot weren't called the fools from up the hill for nothing The point is without naming certain businesses they exclusively plough money into County and ignore their local team (us!) completely Over the years there are even some that have switched their allegiances totally from us to them, if that doesn't sound the alarm bells well I don't know what will I'm no talking joe the plumber or bill the baker here I'm talking huge companies that put in serious money over the course of a season The same goes with matchday hospitality speak to any business they much prefer the Dingwall experience, whether you like it or not our northern neighbours are doing something right off the park when it comes to attracting sponsorship Dougal
  16. Good luck tonight DonInPeace if you are going Pittodrie you might get the chance to meet IHE as he will no doubt be in amongst the away support singing his sectarian anthems Sad thing is about this latest debacle is that's it's somewhat soured a very good relationship between both clubs and both sets of supporters Dougal
  17. Wtf? This has got to be a joke right? Pity this kind of clips weren't available when I was playing all those years ago, certainly would have helped us progress in the Highland Amateur Cup Dougal
  18. To be honest I think it's too late to worry about the County marketing machine the damage to an extent is already done Next derby through in a Dingwall check out all the advertisement boarding you will see the majority are Inverness based investors,companies and businesses You got to ask the question why this is??? Dougal
  19. This photo could actually have been taken on the Caleyjagsforever bus on their way to Mosset Park,Forres in a pre season friendly a couple of years ago The very same day they were baking cakes on the bus prior to the game and that folks is a true story Dougal
  20. The famous Aberdeen are let's just say not that famous anymore, dons fans very much live in the past I'm afraid the days are long gone when top players want to go to ply their trade in Aberdeen Greg may well have secured a higher weekly wage but he probably knew the standard of football wasn't any greater and there's no comparison in living standards between Sneck and Aberdeen Dougal
  21. I'd go as far as saying County have as many born and bred Invernessians fans as we do, they even have an official supporters club in the city run from the Tarry Isle bar I think Whether it being clever marketing or other factors they have recruited wisely and steadily since gaining access to the senior leagues Ross-shire,Sutherland,Caithness,Skye,Western Isles and certain parts of Inverness have embraced County whereas we have struggled as we seem to be playing second fiddle Inverness have also active supporters clubs from Celtic,Rangers,Aberdeen,Hearts,Dundee,Dundee Utd,St Johnstone and even Man Utd in the city When you also throw in the Merkinch/Clach fans who openly despise us it's no wonder we struggle to get fans with an Inverness postcode We have been very fortunate in the last two decades that Inverness has grown dramatically because the influx of incomers to the city has swelled our numbers Dougal
  22. Why the secrecy? Caleyjagforever and their deciples on CTO normally can't wait to bump their gums on trivial matters but when something like this comes along the silence is deafening It's about time this group realised they represent their own membership only and not the entire ICT support Dougal
  23. I agree with rimet, Barry Wilson saw it how it was and commented on it honestly. Yogi undoubtedly sets us out for clean sheets at home hoping to Nick a goal or two on the counter attack or after a long spell of possession I fully understand what he is trying to do but it takes time to get a system like that to work as its more a continental type of strategy which is more adapted to the technical side of the game It can work there's no doubt but these systems like and other changes in the workplace need time to bed in Dougal
  24. Yogi is an honest laddie, he would have thought long and hard before making such a public statement in my opinion Lets not forget there is a player who obviously needed to be told!! It's quite ironic that the same posters who ain't happy about the public statement are the same posters who complain that the club are always too secretive on other matters Dougal
