To be honest mate, i think its out of order saying he is an embarrassment to the club. He is probably a Caley fan like me and you. Give him a break.

End of the day, we come to watch football, not listen to a Fecking PA system. Fair enough, could be better but its not. Lets not moan.

Spot on

Its way OTT to say its an embarassment to the club that our new announcer is finding his feet. Give him a chance!!

Best of luck to him on Saturday. It seems that the Celtic game is bigger than imagined. "TV stations in more than 40 countries have booked coverage of Tel's Boys against Neil's Bhoys. This will be via either live viewing or a highlights package."

I think they've had some bother with the system recently,it packed in before the CIS cup game and still doesn't exactly seem to be working too great.The volume yesterday was a joke though. :107:

To be fair to whoever did the announcements yesterday, some of the Antwerp names were a bit of a mouthfull, but if he improves a bit he'll do alright.

I dont really see the need for the announcer to have a big personality or to try and gee up the crowd, most of the time it ends up cringeworthy, anyway, injecting some atmosphere into the TCS would stretch even the best comedians.Someone who just tells me the teams, the 50/50 draw and latest scores elsewhere in a clear manner would do just fine, its the football i go to see.

I was unaware of the problem with the PA.

I am totally in agreement with what you say.

I suspect that Don could be tempted back - say six Dougall and Hastie pies per game ?

I'm sure the club could afford that.

it may be damaged now though obviously the speakers will blow easier with the demands of getting every one in the stadium to hear it.

its just a thought i havnt been at the pre season games but its just a thought if the sound is crackly

The reason it sounds crackly is because a) the volume it too high and b) the person speaking it too close to the microphone.

You get professional announcers?

Just get an enthusiastic caley fan to do it that way you save a lot of money

I would also like for 'I feel good' to be the song that comes on when we score i just loved it when it was like that

You don't have to pay for professionals. An enthusiast can have a professional approach by deliver a quality service. Like a mentioned earlier, students in media studies might relish the thought of having a go. I know of some that are supporters.

think you'll find that the announcer yesterday was the new announcer. I hope when he finds his feet he'll inprove. However, in my opinion Don was the best announcer by far.

I agree Don was good. I think there needs to be quite a bit of improvement for Saturday's announcer to come anywhere near Don's level. If you are right, I hope he improves quickly. However, surely holding an audition would find out whether a person is up for it or not. Having a poor announcer doesn't look very good for the club, not to mention the fact that supporters have to put up with it.

Yesterday, the announcer was an embarrassment to the club. Whilst I can appreciate that some of the names for the Royal Antwerp team were difficult to pronounce, pregnant pauses do not create the right image for the club. Reading out the home team players also presented a problem.

To add to this, the announcer has the volume too high and he has the microphone too close. As a result, it is very loud and some sounds are distorted to the extent they cannot be understood.

I think we need a professional person to do the announcing. Someone who can sound interesting, has a clear voice and knows how to use a public address system. If the person we had yesterday is the person who is going to do the announcing for the rest of the season, we need a new announcer.

One idea would be to give media college students the opportunity to be an announcer. This could involve a relationship between ICT and a university. Being an announcer would give the student a means of gaining practical experience.

What are your views?

we should all be reserving judgement until he plays for us. We need a LB so glad the slot has been filled

I agree. But take a look at this video. We may have an interesting weapon for free kicks just outside the penalty area.

Mrs Dudes match of the day effort of Shanes goal v Stockport.

Shane goal

Great picture and much appreciated. It is good to have even this small snip of the match.

I like the new redesign too - I only wish the club's own website was as good and up to date!

I second that

Bring some walking kit with you. Travel to Fort William along the scenic route which includes Loch Ness. This journey will take around an hour and a half. Once in Fort William, take the tourists footpath route up Ben Nevis. Allow at least four hours up and three hours down. Have a meal in a local Restaurant before heading back to Inverness. That is a complete day out. You will have seen some of the best countryside in the Highlands.
