Too much Xmas pud the day before , Methinks It was right through several big teams including Manchester City, had bad games, they should take more water with it. Back to normal on Saturday I trust. Away teams often get good results on Boxing day. I remember two years ago when we were doing quite well in the league, being stuffed at home by St Mirren on Boxing day.

I know Ed Joyce Scored a lot of runs for both Ireland and England , but I'm not sure if he got a century for both countries. He was quite a star in the One dayers. It was thought at one time that Andy Goram ( fast bowler) would maybe play for both Scotland and England at cricket. However the Rangers management stopped him playing cricket for Scotland. It was thought he would get injured. That may be a quiz question ( Name the Rangers player who played football and cricket for Scotland ) ?

Alex - Pardon granted – It was because if you must know that I suggested that Alistair Cook the England cricket captain, who recently passed the number of centuries scored by any other England cricketer throughout history, would in my view be a strong competitor, for the award next year. My suggestion sparked off a tirade by people who don't like cricket, having a go at me, and at the sport. Quite unfounded I thought. It appears that if a suggestion on this forum that is outside the main stream of thought, it attracts a sort of lynch mentality of abuse. Not unexpected I feel , maybe I’ll learn one day to keep my ideas to myself, the amount of time and effort I use to explain my reasons is beginning to take it’s toll. Prejudice at this level is difficult to endure

Mind you how is the air in Dewsbury these days ? Used to be full of smoke from the mills when I played RL there.

Thank you - I agree or my 44 year old son and my 36 years old daughter would get quite cross with me Regular refrain is " shut up Dad", I don't know why? lol Anyway I can still beat my daughter at Badmingtion, but don't tell her I said so Happy Christmas to all

You come on to a public web site you are particulary rude. You show no respect to the people who set up this forum, they provided a platform for discussion If you do not wish to discuss it is particulary rude to yawn and make fun of the poster I come from a different generation to you ( I think) where we had to work long hours, we had poor schooling, we did not have the oportunies that people have today, but most of all we were taught to respect older people

Get thee to a nunnery - Philistine

Can't be played in Scotland Did I give my donation to the Elgin Cricket Club, at the ICT car boot sale by mistake? Or was the game I watched over Elgin way an aparation?

I'd like to say I ended up marrying her, but alas I never saw her again, and she never even came back for her knickers. Did they fit ?

Captain Morgan from Ireland - England cricket 20/20 captain Hammers India in a thrilling finish It was the biggest run chase in England's 20/20 history

Hi Just a point to book lovers These are the search engines the trade use www.bookfinder.com www.addall.com www.ukbookworld.com If you see any of my books I can get them to you post free at the game , most of them are on UKbookworld

If its waffle, Face a cricket ball at your head doing 90 miles an hour Stand in the slips for six hours watching every ball doing a similar speed, then having to catch it like a flying brick, not parry it away like a golie. Play nearly every day of the week with no rest like a soccer player Bowl twenty overs at full pelt running thousands of yards in a day If there is any other sport more demanding I would like to know about it This is not to mention the upire who has to concentrate on the flight and bounce of every delivery. I don't know when you lot will respect I know what I am talking about.

Sometimes think this web site gets very childish

Alister Cook is coming up fast on the outside , more test centuries than any one in an England shirt He will get it next year if as Captain Cook he keeps winning Being a cricketer is more demanding than any other sport. It takes more skill than anyother sport

Was this in your "Men Behaving Badly" phase? You could say that, hardly a man only a boy though. Always in bother, I think the expression “Jack the Lad “fits It all changed when I met my lovely wife and she made me grow up, and do something useful When you get old and you look back, it’s like your life is some sort of novel, very surreal

That was long before I was born The Rendezvous was one of my favourites too. I think it was still there right up to the 70s at least. I remember treating my old mother to a high tea there in the mid 60s, and she was horrified that it had cost 7 shillings and sixpence (37 and a half pence in today's money). I also liked the ice cream in the Ness Cafe, next door. A few of the chip shops had seating areas too, Pagliari's in Academy street, the West end in Eastgate, and I think the Young street one. Isn't it strange how fish suppers always seemed better in one's younger days? I must have been around 17 or 18, I had a Norton Jubilee 250 twin bike. With a mate of mine I travelled North from Heywood which is now in Rochdale on a two weeks camping holiday ( cica 1960) . I can remember distincly Inverness town centre and on the roundabout or nearby ( somewhere were the Jarvis hotel is now ) , a very nice restaurant I think was the Rendevous , no objection to bikers dressed in black leathers.. Being bad cooks for our age, we got most of our fodder there. When I moved up here some 50 years later was I disapointed to see my old watering hole was no more . Instead a ruined town centre the planners have a lot to answer for. I would leke to vapourise all the alterations. The other week I noticed a small back St cafe' low and behold, " The Rendevous", I did wonder if there was a conection. Imagine my amazement to read this post. I well remember the waitress chiding us to leave the Invernes-shire girls alone. We were never short of company that's for sure. Like something out of Greece. Long before Olivier Newton Bomb. Nothing ever changes.

I dont know what feck means, but lets phuck the lot of them - roger and out

I thought County played well. There is no way that team will be relegated Ross staying up will be good for us and our gate money

That's a point I quite like womens Tennis and cricket, not too keen on women's footie or golf though though.

I remember a while back when I was setting up my web site I was told to put the product first in your web title or domain For instance I sell books, lots of major companies sell books so you are behind the eight ball for starters You cold have a web site entitled for the sake of argument www.Invernessbooks.co or you could call it www.booksofInverness.com I dont know whether it's true or false but the second one would search easier than the first you can steal another companies search which I think is illegal but I know it's done. Again going back to books, you could write Amazon books on the first line of your web site, so any one searching for Amazon may get your web site Again I have no idea if these things work.

Basically our bench is a bit weak, only two outfield players of any use. Sutherland and Morrison , otherwise I would get a game If we could sign any useful guys for the bench it would be a start

I am sure Butcher will find somebody With Coventry likely to go bust, Maybe some rich pickings there.

Just make sure he supports ICT. :P He Lives in Istanbul I think his team is Besikas ( If spelt right) I am working on it, I bought him his Inverness scarf for Xmas My Daughter is expecting in February, she says she is coming here to be near her mother for the confinement. Looks like I will be the Grandad of a Scot. If male will be qualified for Scotland, England , or Turkey . That's a thought

Not quite but I sure feel it or don't feel it , but that's a different matter I am actually only 21 lol It's true though Rangers are being whitewashed, ready for a return.

weather forcast for Tuesday is pretty grim I suppose if I get a ticket I can call it a donation to club funds if I cant get over the tops on the A9 I am very happy today as my son in law has got his spouce visa and will be allowed in the Uk to live with his wife.
