Well all traditions have to start somewhere and many of them are imported (eg Xmas trees) so maybe it could happen one day. One American import for which all parents should truly give thanks is the carving of pumpkins instead of turnip!

It's not a con, it's just that some retailers are a bit half hearted and only do BF because everyone else does. If you know how much a particular item should cost and can therefore identify a genuine bargain, there are great deals to be had. And its great for consumers that these sales occur before Christmas. I'd been looking for some flights for next year, checking prices every single day for a couple of months wondering whether to wait longer or take the plunge. Suddenly BA do a 1 day BF sale and I made my move, saving £500 on the price before and since.

We have conceded 29 goals in 15 matches, 3 goals more than any other team. Conceding virtually 2 goals per game obviously makes it hard to pick up many points. It's rather uncharacteristic of ICT to appear so porous at the back, so I'd be interested to know what people think is the cause, or causes. I've also added a poll where you tick whichever factors you think apply.

Well, he said post match that this was "our best performance of the season". I'd be interested to know if fans agree. Not a great sign that when we are at our best, we still lose to the side at the bottom of the league! I think his point is that we did a lot of things right except score and we really shouldn't have lost this one.

This'll make it 3 defeats out of 3 in November and 1 win in our last 8 games. 6 league games coming up in December, mostly against mediocre sides, so we need that to be a good month or the R word will be very much to the fore.

Aye, folk in the likes of Edinburgh and Manchester are always saying how they wish they could be in Inverness because of the superior entertainment!
-
Is this now the only sport Scotland is good at?!
-
First Mantis, then those two - what is it about Whitehill that attracts so many ICT legends?! Talented as he was as a player, Bingham never struck me as having management credentials, but best of luck to him.
-
Some of the comments here are a bit harsh, but I think it is fair to say that he is not as influential as he has been in the past. That could of course be due in part to the new manager wanting him to play in a certain way.

These tables are always interesting, but deeply flawed. I suspect they've got teams 1 to 5 in the right order, along with Hamilton 12th. There's probably not much difference between the teams in 6th to 11th but I certainly wouldn't expect us to be at the top of that group - remember for example that we recently tried and failed to lure a couple of players from Partick, and St J have outbid us before.

Matchday Thread - Guinea v DR Congo
Yngwie replied to IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER's topic in Caley Thistle
When African teams have nicknames like the Indomitable Lions or the Super Eagles, Guinea's one isn't particularly flattering! -
Are we talking months here?

One of the many interesting/unusual things about Trump is that he once appeared on The Saint & Greavsie, drawing teams out of the hat in the draw for the Rumbelows Cup. And he managed to do it without offending any monorities.

On a day of madness, hats off to the Buchan Observer for the lead headline on its website - "Aberdeenshire business owner wins presidential election"
-
I'd be interested to know who you think could possibly be above him in that respect!
-
Found him! Last week he went on trial with Partizan (Belgrade) and has since scored in a friendly. According to a Serbian article, the "dark skinned attacker" had an unsuccessful trial at the same club back in 2014.
-
Probably just wanted a wee word in his ear, but with his usual lack of finesse and control.....
-
BBC initially announced him as the scorer but the goal has since been awarded to another player. He's still being credit with the straight red though!
-
I'd certainly rather be us than County. Actually that's always been the case!
-
True, and following on from that, only runaway leaders Celtic have scored more goals than us this season!
-
If the injury to OFW is one that will cause him to miss more games before Esson is back, we'd surely have to look at bringing in a short term keeper.
-
Decent point, particularly given the loss of some important players.

Is that 3 goals in 3 for Doumbouya? Dumbo is learning to fly!

Looking at the league table, a couple of things caught my eye. I hadn't realised that our games have contained more goals than every other team except Celtic. Only them and Aberdeen have scored more than us, whilst only Killie have conceded more. It's slightly surprising to be as high as 6th given the results we've had. If you extrapolate our points per game across the season (very simplistic, I know) we'd end up with 45 points. That's 7 less than last season and would put us in 10th place - but well clear of relegation. Having now played every team once, I would describe this start to the season as no less than "satisfactory" given our rookie manager and limited resources. If Foran can keep learning and if any of our strikers can become reasonably prolific, there's potential to do much better than satisfactory.
