  1. Thanks to the driver and staff of bus two a professional job well done .
  2. I have no grumbles about the performance Just wish after the injury when we passed to their goalkeeper, which set up their first goal, We had just booted the ball out of play. The guy next to me, actually said at the time, it should have been played for a throw in. Small things change games
  3. Does he have a balcony ?
  4. It could be better to use the ground first. If there is bad weather the pitch could be in a bit of a mess for the second match Last time we played Hearts we had 5 goals start and blew it. So a big improvement is required that's for sure
  5. We could swap manager wish Chorley for starters ?
  6. What is the motivation of these fans ? I realise they wish to show their disappointment and displeasure at performances. Is it just a young male problem ? Is it a society problem ?. I say this because , I see very little respect in he media , for important members of society . People these days do not hold back in venting their frustration, in ways in my day would not have been tolerated. I have no answer ? My Dad always said " treat other people as you would wish to be treated yourself, courtesy costs nothing". If people do not enjoy their football, why go to the matches? Imagine if these supporters were Notts County fans, the oldest club in football, founder member of the original football league, about to drop out of the EFL into obscurity. They would really have something to moan about. !!! Yes Johnjo you will see them at Chorley next year, amazing !!!
  7. Last time I looked Chorley topped their league you must be chuffed John ?
  8. Hopefully we ca get going now Promotion is anyone's guess dependant on your optimism quotient - but and County the two United's will take some catching
  9. Trust me to miss the match = I was helping a friend in a Contract Bridge tournement Fantastic turn around from Saturday ,
  10. A grim day in the annals of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Doesn't need Einstein to work that out Basically a blind man on a galloping horse can see we need a centre forward, We seem to be striking by committee . We were undone against Falkirk, with a guy on loan from Rangers, a message in there for January one would think.
  11. Whilst we are all moaning and groaning about a draw away from home Look at this http://www.harrogateminstermen.com/manchester-united-0-york-city-3.html Kingsmills is right yo refer to a lack of class
  12. Not long since we were winning this cup , how things change. Away wins at Celtic for instance , well never mind, keep dancing. Seem to remember a lower league team defeating Celtic in the cup , who was that I wonder ?. Lets all cry in our beer,
  13. John Roberson made this quote on BBC sport " Inverness CT manager John Robertson: "For 70 minutes Queen of the South should have been six or seven nothing up. "They were the best team, they outfought us, they outplayed us, they outrun us, they bullied us, they played some magnificent football. "We got a goal out of nothing, and then we get another quick goal and you think we might have a wee chance here, and then we get a penalty."
  14. The Through ball for the 2nd County goal was offside by at least a yard albeit the end result was an own goal I had a blazing row with a County fan on my way to the car after the game I shouted you should be ashamed to support such a team all went quiet I was really round up! , Although I am an old man I was ready for a punch up. I was a bit of a boxer years ago.
  15. Laurence replied to Doofer's topic in Caley Thistle
    Doofer's Dads expedience was similar to mine , in non floodlit days, Bury drew Stoke City in the FA cup, 3rd round - home match Gigg Lane draw ( -Tommy Daniel missed a penalty) , I was there, 2nd match at Stoke, draw abandoned during Snow fall in Extra Time score stands if a match is abandoned during extra time, Two more matches , one at Liverpool one at Everton, Eventually decided at Maine Road ( I think ) Stoke won and went in the fourth road 3 days later, and lost to Swansea Stoke team absolutely shattered , All the games played over a two week period plus normal Saturday league match, All from memory may not be 100% accurate . I wonder now if a match is abandoned in extra time will there be a further game at a neutral venue ? I was only 11 at the time Since writing the above I found some more information on-line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954–55_Bury_F.C._season

    Is it better to go on the attack and risk a defeat and get some wins, or hope we can sneak a narrow victory with a cautious approach, Maybe the manager feels if he orders an attacking approach we will lose too many matches. He knows his players attributes better than me, So I have to trust him Draws against the top teams , known as 6 pointers can be justified, but the lower teams must be defeated, one feels
  17. The people around me thought the Morton goal was offside - I took the view that the ball into the box was lateral and could not be offside, A player must be in front of the ball when it is payed irrespective of the position of the defenders Rooney having a go at the ref was not the best thing to do.. Morton as they were last season are a strong well balanced outfit, with a traditional 442 set up. . For long periods of the match Morton looked in control.
  18. I thought the assistant referee on the main stand side in the first half was diabolical , Firstly he gave a Partick guy offside when clean through, and he was onside as I was sitting directly in line On two other occasions when blatant fouls occurred just in front of him, he gave the ref who was far away no help what's so ever, the Ref got the blame for not blowing , but I felt he should have had help from his assistant. - The assistant , never gave a throw in until the player picked the ball up, or the Ref gave it . The guy got his match fee for nothing. I thought 3 players on our side stood out No1 No7 and No3 Polwarth was my man of the match , he was very unlucky not to have scored when his shot it the post and bounced around the goalmouth before it was eventually headed home. But on the whole we will play better and not win before the season ends that's for sure.
  19. Maybe Livingston will be the surprise packet this year ? or maybe not
  20. Amazing these guys
  21. I noticed Connor Ripley the Oldham keeper saved two penalties this weekend playing for Oldham in a goalless draw One in the 89th minute and one in the 94th minute. Quite incredible. ( last kick of the match )
  22. I can't fault effort by either the players or the coaches But something is wrong? Is it the players, or is it the tactics ? That is the question, or is it both Maybe todays game will give us the answer
  23. I have seen abusive chants from the opposition fans in my time , but from home fans it is very uncommon Ronnie Mauge a Bury player was playing in a game against Bolton, when the Bolton fans chanted " Ronnie Ronnie " where's your wife " ?, shortly after it was reported in the press his wife had left him.. Various references to black players years ago, together with banana throwing , but not from home fans . I am sure our No 7 will know the majority of supporters would not condone this aspect of chanting ;and know he will get his form back before long.
  24. I asked at the office if there where any programmes, they gave me a team sheet. I was a little upset because it was my granddaughter's first match, and I wanted the programme for a memento. I have still got programmes for my son's and my daughter's first games , which I cherish although they are over 40 years old. The office told me they did not sell enough to make it viable.
