Musta been from before CB jumped on the football bandwagon..appalling lack of knowledge for a so-called football 'journalist'. Ah'm no County fan, but even I can name a few--Albert Allan, Jim Oliver, Hamish Morrison (played for Caley, ye heard of them), Herchie (ffs), some guy Walter Brown ah think (wee Glasgow guy at the front, good player), Duffers and Davie Jackson (also played for that Telford Street team). And no, it's not Stevie Polson ffs. Good point well made Danger We should maybe start a thread on the workings of the Bunsen burner or the breakdown of the periodic table. I personally am not that qualified to discuss the topic in depth but I can certainly post some inane comments Dougal

I just pray these two boys were properly scouted and they have been on the radar for a while, the last thing we need is two journeymen who possibly could be panic loans due to the horrific injury problems we are presently experiencing Extra pressure will be on both their shoulders but we need to give them a chance to see what they are made off Dougal

I personally find this Celtic / ICT love in pretty repulsive, seeing Ryan in the various tabloids this morning decked out in a Celtic top giving it the the thumbs up was really disrespectful no matter which way some try to cover it up Both clubs have handled this transfer badly, surely a better way would have been for him to have signed a pre contract that made him switch at the end of the season sparing us the pics of him decked out in the hoops of hate Getting him loaned back is like a kick in the teeth in my opinion Unfair singling out Ryan though as there appears to be an unhealthy problem within the ICT fanbase where a large number seem to support two SPFL clubs Regardless I wish him the best when he eventually heads down the A9 whenever that is, providing he is given the chance at Celtic I've no doubt he will hopefully use it as a stepping stone to the English Premiership Dougal

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/inverness-ct-cup-win-can-heal-divide-nick-ross-1-3783047 His words not mine, fair play to young Nick for having the balls to address the subject and not sweep it under the carpet like caleyjagsforever and the local press Who knows he could be right interest in ICT surely would increase with a Cup win although I suspect it would be more the younger generation and the incomers again that will increase Dougal

Great if the Victorian Market Shop became a permanent shop, or at least a premises could be sought for the summer months at least to target the tourists that flood into town One thing for sure due to the location of Caledonian Stadium the tourist trade is not being targeted as much as it should Dougal

Is it fine though? It's only a couple of thousand more than we took to the League Cup Final albeit the League cup final was on a Sunday County took double what we took to their semi with Celtic and took 17-18k to their cup final against Dundee Utd I think we will be lucky to break the 10k mark which is still a good turn out but that figure will be a mixture of a minority of Invernessians, incomers to Inverness and neutrals Let's not kid ourselves here Invernessians wouldnt embrace ICT even if it was the Champions League Final, anyone who tries to argue with this is seriously deluded Regardless what number of tickets we have sold our club should be disclosing the numbers as it adds to the excitement of the run up Dougal

Can only assume you will abstain from voting as I can't see Sinn Fein having many candidates in Lancashire Dougal

With all due respect the ones that queued today created the problem not the ICT staff ICT are right not employing extra staff when money is so tight, unless there are going to be one hell of an amount of neutrals attending tickets will be on sale right up until kick off I'd be surprised if the final attracts 40k but I will be quite happy if proved wrong I will wait till all the glory hunters get their tickets before I venture to the stadium to get mine when there is No queue!! Dougal

The fact that you still know the words to the tripe you sung in the jungle speaks volume Wonder have you seen as many ICT games as you've seen Septic? I very much doubt it I reckon Maybe a new thread should be started to determine this, wonder has Davie surpassed the number of games he's been to at Tannadice? Dougal

Well done Yogi fully deserved An amazing achievement no matter what the outcome of the final The real test comes next season though with the departure of key players but despite our poor form the future looks promising Dougal

Drew Hendry must be one happy man as Bannerman has increased the popularity of the SNP in this area on a large scale with his ridiculous inane ramblings No need for the SNP to spend serious money on a electoral campaign when they have this roaster doing it for them I've never been a SNP voter in the past but I'm nearly swayed reading his rubbish, the last time I've read so much garbage I think it was when I had the misfortune to read some of "Against All Odds" Let's face it he wasn't voted the worst poster in CTO history for nothing Dougal

You can hardly compare normal run of the mill home league games to a national cup final If so called supporters can't get enough enthusiasm to join in the atmosphere well quite frankly they shouldn't be there. There are plenty of libraries and art exhibitions in Glasgow for that kind of behaviour Dougal

The SFA are panicking that Hampden will be half full hence the dramatic price reduction Let's not kid ourselves in thinking that they are doing this for the good of the fans for both clubs Dougal

Travelling from Inverness, born in Raigmore and raised in Inverness and somewhat in the minority judging by this thread Dougal

Butcher still sees himself as an Orc, don't be surprised to see him working with McCall yet suppose it all depends on what happens with the play offs Butcher is history can't believe some ICT fans still seem to have some weird obsession with him or maybe that's just the ones that enjoy a foray to Govan now and again Dougal

Had this door opened twenty odd years ago we would have seen a different Inverness team facing Falkirk at Hampden next month I'm all for this opportunity for non league teams to make the step up, for decades Scottish Football has been stale in the lower regions Not entirely sure where Montrose will go should they be demoted though should Brora be the ones that take their place Dougal

It's the Scottish Cup Final ffs the entire ICT support including the suited wallopers in Caleyjagsforever should be the singing section Do you think Falkirk fans are asking this question on their forum...??? NO!!! Ridiculous thread and in my opinion should be deleted to prevent further embarrassment Dougal

You seem upbeat considering you lost. ^^^^^ Desperate to see his beloved Orcs back in Inverness Dougal

Just in the door after a fair number of pints pre and post match Thought we were very impressive and we controlled the entire 90mins albeit against an extremely poor County who in my option are now destined for the championship Shame really because I think both clubs need each other in the same league for financial reasons but who knows they might go on a signing spree again this month Also quite impressed with our support hard to tell did we sell the entire end but there were very few empty seats near me Even the atmosphere was pretty good at times pity it wasn't like this at the dump because I could tell it really inspired the players Dougal

Why are the covers down in the first place when we have an underground soil heating system installed? Is it too expensive to run or not working like it should? Not being funny but putting out an open invitation to all fans you could have hundreds turning up meaning a serious loss of income in free tickets Maybe restricting it to Caleyjagsforever members would have been the more sensible option Dougal

Cheeky 1-0 win here and we go second so a lot to play for in front of a bumper crowd all be it mostly Dons Going into the new year second would be a tremendous achievement by Yogi and the players and would set up the highland derby nicely Fair play to Yogi he has proved a lot of the boo boys wrong Dougal

I notice a certain so called journalist was trying to play down the effect the merger has had on ICT attendances in the local rag a couple of weeks ago The fact he still needs to even mention it twenty years on speaks volumes Dougal

Correct me if I'm wrong but the worst poster ever in CTO history voted by us works for said organisation does he not? A match made in heaven although the heaven part is debatable Dougal

Standard childish response from CaleyD but I think halving the North Stand straight down the middle isn't that bad an idea considering the dropping numbers in the home ranks Ok this would need to be implemented at the end of the season, but just think how much extra income would be generated from the extra hundreds of tickets that could be sold to Dons and Celtic fans Getting all ICT fans huddled tightly together in a few sections might also improve the atmosphere rather than being scattered here and there Dougal

Rival Not harsh at all fair chance we will see Dons fans in the home areas tomorrow too all beit without colours I'm no fan of Aberdeen mainly due to their stupid accents but I tip my hat to them for travelling in such numbers Dougal
