  1. Nah i'm sure i'd rather have Ronaldo, he's one of the greatest ever. Van Persie is excellent but he's not in that category. On yesterdays performance you are dead right United's Spanish keeper ( like ours) saved the day, why were you watching that pish?! we were playing kilmarnock! that is all.When you get to my age and you are recovering from cancer , and you are faced with driving up the A9 in the cold and wet with dogey eye sight you will know?
  2. Why do people boo ? Because they hurt inside Look at Chelsea, Villa, City , Celtic , all disapointed all feel let down. Is it any differenat at our gaff? Expectations are built up and not realised . Booing is a sign of expected success not realised Don't take away fans rights to be emotional.
  3. I am torn between thinking it's free country , And I don't like booing our team or manager But I will defend a person's right to show his displeasure at the manager, team, or players, if s/he wants to. Otherwise censership creeps in and we might as well live in China. Just my view - I can understand people thinking they are spoiling moral, and other fans pleasure, but they have paid to get in. Real Madrid fans wave white hankies to indicate they have had enough. When I watched Wimbledon, in the Vinny Jones era , I only encountered booing once, when it was a draw at half time as the players walked off ( against Barnsley) , The team came out second half and scored 4. It can work.
  4. Since my trip to Raigmore I won't

  6. Whe comparing players you have to ask yourself a simple question " If you were the manager of both players which one would you write first on the team sheet " ? Answer VanPersie Barcelona stop Ronaldo everytime, the fullback closes him down, the centre half Pique clatters into him.
  7. You obviously have to know the ladies scream from time to time when they are happy.

    Your kinness is beyond belief
  9. Anyone watching Sarah Taylor on Sky today would know why Cricket is a great game.

    I am struggling a bit to come to terms with the loss of a close friend I had known for 45 years. Shankley was wrong to say football is more important

    Unfortunately no I was attending a family berevement in Ormskirk Lancashire

    No point moaning the game is over We had our chances and blew it So all that is left is the double now the treble has gone Onward and upward
  13. I go when I can, ## I don't particulary like away matches especially important ones. The last one I went to, a play off in England at Bournmouth as an away fan, we were totally surrounded by police in full riot gear A most unpleasant experience. To be treated like vermin or a criminal because the Police decide so , is totally out of order. I hope the police are not overtly visible for the Hearts game

    I once went to see a fight and a Ice Hockey match broke out - Te he
  15. Whoever designed the North Stand ? nuff said My view is constanly being interupted with fans walking up and down stairways. getting pies , drinks and going to the ablutions. Many stop on the stairs if there is an attack or see something interesting and block views for those sitting. Any sensible design has exit routes and cafeterias and loos at the back .
  16. I am reminded of a game at Blackburn I once saw. A man left early ( A Fireman I knew who was going on duty he had to be on duty that night many miles away at 6pm). As he went towards the exit, the crowd started chanting " Part time supporters ". The guy turned round and said in a loud voice " see you at Plymouth? ", Blackburn's next match, many hundreds of miles away and a night match to boot. The chanting stopped immediately. The point is nobody knows why people leave. Its a free country you know.
  17. As I keep saying on here it is a free country and all opinions are valid.
  18. Like I said just an opinion Given the oposition and the potential and the here and now
  19. Not even in the top 10 IMO. Like I said my opinion
  20. Look at it anyway you want . This is the biggest game ( in my opinion) in the clubs history , Go to it guys. I just wish I could be there but family reasons prevent that. Enjoy your day out Treat every big day game as precious. Hearts are a famous old club, their fans have got spoilt with many big games in the past , ICT are young and building a reputation. This is new and unknown territory this is fantastic for the City of Inverness and the club.

    They have a funny old sport called Primories , where members of the same political parties , slag each other off, spend more money than the Greek debt, then , afterwards smile and say the other guy ( who won) is fantastic and should become President.
  22. A man of great passion - one of Ireland's best ever managers , that's for sure, to be sure, to be sure, so it is
  23. Amazing result Congratulations on a first in the modern game with a Wembley final for a 4th tier team ( Rochdale v Blackburn was a final played home and away) - might be wrong from memory not research

    What is the biggest sporting event in the world based on viewing figures , is to be dominated by the two Harbough brothers One is head coach of The Baltimore Ravens One is Head Coach of The San Fransisco 49ers I think this is the biggest head to head by two siblings in sporting history, when yo think a sport as big as the NFL and the size of the USA and the small number of NFL teams it is absolutely incredible The nearest comparison is the Williams sisters , but this is bigger. N.B. No paint dry cracks or zzzzing or yawns please. If you don't like NFL, it is a free country and you are entilled to your opinion, but silly cracks are very childlike annd serve no purpose. Non so blind as those who can't see
  25. Although Douglas Jardine the bodyline captain was born in colonial India, he would refer to himself as a Scot.
