Nick Ross called up and scores for U21 Squad
Thouroughly deserved, he's been superb in 2010. He should start wide left ahead of Wotherspoon of Hibs who, as everyone knows, isn't very good. Edit - Ally's younger brother Mark Ridgers is also in the squad. Good to see another Inverness boy getting international recognition.

Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Motherwell
Mr Wonder could have seen it was in sitting in his Detroit mansion watching through a telescope. A good yard over and that was from the back of the North Stand.

"Very hostile atmosphere in Glasgow"
I've always thought 'what are you on about?' when folk have said to me 'I never go to Parkhead/Ibrox, it's a horrible place and overall a horrible day out'. I really enjoy going there and have never seen/heard any trouble any time I've been there. They can sing all the rubbish they want - It isn't directed at me and I'm not offended by it as a result. Outside the stadium before and after, none of the home fans even look twice at you and just bustle about like any other fans would outside their stadium. The stewards inside are quite lenient (not suprising with it being an OF stadium) and the catering is usually really good.

SPL Expansion. Good for us?
None I'd suggest. If you properly coach a player how to play football, he will become a better player. In Scotland, players are left to rely on their 'natural ability' and just get told to get stuck in and show 'plenty of heart' by their coaches. That's where we falter as a nation.

Can I ask in what way? Better coaching will improve the football, not playing against more teams.

25 going by his profile. Which makes this even more cringey.

Are folk seriously bothered about what reputation level they have on an Internet forum? Deary me.

Rooney and Pass-backs
Chasing down pass-backs and generally running around chasing after the ball Kenny Miller style both wastes energy and as above, leaves a big gap between the striker and the midfield, which is detrimental to the team should the midfield pick up the second ball. Marking the space between the centre-halfs or the centre half and fullback is what the striker should be doing.

Our Irish trio...
They're playing against better players than last season for a kick off.

Roll call for the Saints of Perth
We played them in the cup at Victoria Park in 2005 and won 1-0. Golabek scored I think. Am I imaging it or did we beat them 4-1/4-2 a couple of pre-seasons back? I may have dreamt it mind you.

Does anyone remember Daisy Ross?
I'm sure Daisy's debut would have been the first game of that season (95-96) as he signed in the summer, if memory serves (I was only 10 at the time).

Best ever Caley game
Beats me. I've just been reminded about the Scottish Cup tie in March 2002 against Partick Thistle at Firhill. A great game. Russel Duncan's finest in an ICT shirt I reckon.

Going by some folks reply's - there's some awful young lads/lassie's on this forum!

Does anyone remember Daisy Ross?
Whatta guy Daisy was. Kinlochbervie's finest. I remember him in the mid 90's at Telford Street ripping the absolute Michael out of the Brechin/Forfar/Albion Rovers full back.

Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Aberdeen
Good to see. It was never a red card in the first place. There was no stamp on Hayes.

Best ever Caley game
Ooft, I forgot about this one. A great performance.

Best ever Caley game
Where to start?! The 8-1 victory against Annan Athletic in 1998 The 4-3 loss against Livingston in 1999. 3-1 against Celtic in 2000. 3-1 against Hearts in 2002. The Ayr United maulings. The double headers against Clyde and St Johnstone in 2004. Every other OF victory along with February 8th.

I had a wee giggle when he said that if I'm honest.

Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Aberdeen
Having watched the game again, I thought the red card for Paton was very harsh. There was a tangle of legs and his studs caught Hayes in the stomach. No malice there. I don't think Aberdeen can appeal however as it was deemed violent conduct. Tokely won the ball from Megginson but then caught him in the ankle. Looked like it could be the ligaments.

Matchday Thread: St Mirren -V- Inverness CT
The natives appear to be getting restless down Paisley way after Saturday's result.

Who's for sheep?
If Mahonio can't make the game, he can't make the game. I'm not sure he needs to explain himself on an internet forum to folk he doesn't know.

Where are they now?
Ex-ICTers Craig MacMillan, David Macrae, Graeme (spider) Stewart and Lewis Mackinnon are all at HL champions Buckie Thistle and doing very well. I go and watch Buckie sometimes and they play some good football. Edit - Zander is there as well.
