(Gringo Jnr can back me up on that)

Consider the comment backed up! :015:

I was living in coventry when this ad' was around, yet I never ever saw it appear on TV - despite all my mates going on about it  :019:

Ardersier was indeed the setting for the first few seconds of the clip. Such a shame that pitch is cursed for anyone who play on it (unless you play for ardersier that is - referee's GTF  :33:)

Have to say that is a superb post there  :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

I do, however, doubt the SPL, Club or any other individuals would be willing to make these demands become reality - That, is a very very sad sight to see.

What happened to the ICT Cheerleaders?

What happened to the occasional 5-a-side games for the school kids?

What on earth is the Flybe game all about?

And thats just the half time entertainment. :024:

totally forgot about the split... dont i feel silly  :019:

1 - Celtic - Have proven they can win the league without Nakamura. Plenty of depth to win 4 in a row

2 - Dundee Utd - Very good season and will improve for next year. Fantastic manager behind them.

3 - Rangers - They are playing the wrong system IMO and will be hungover from this seasons climax. A dodgy start will prove decisive.

4 - Motherwell - Mark McGee wil stay, yet European concentration will also cause poor league results at the start of the campaign.

5 - Hibs - Mixu has done wonders and will guarentee a top 6 finish

6 - ICT - I have faith that we will make the grade in our 5th SPL season. We've come close before

7 - Hearts - Too much control from Vlad for any manager to do anything with the team

8 - Aberdeen - I think they may well miss out, but have a good cup run?

9 - Falkirk - Forever going to be a mid-table team.

10 - St Mirren - ICT curse will kick in and they will just avoid relegation

11 - Hamilton - Will stay up (just) after a final day thriller against Rangers

12 - Kilmarnock - Not looking good for them TBH. Relgation for me.

I thought it was great seeing Don Cowie mention in the P&J that he wants a contract extension, after a report suggesting the Dons were after his services.

He has done fantastic for us this season. I just hope he keeps his word and doesn;t cave in to an expected improved offer.

Don Cowie - The future of ICT!!! :021:

i'm sure the peatbog faeries would be a good bet to win :021:

then again, eurovision doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. especially with the gumph that terry wogan comes out with. he's almost as boring as archie at a rangers game :rotflmao:

this iis Cutecaleychick

Healthy meals can be made cheap its just knowing how so many people are poorly educated in healthy eating

kds should be told at school how to eat healthly.

Have to agree with everything said above 'Dogs', although I add my gratitude to the following people...

Footballers Wife and her virgins for the hard work they put in to help with the Virgin Vie fundraiser. The girls that turned up on the night enjoyed themselves, and the money raised has certainly helped the cause. We may look into another event of this nature in the near future! Also to Lisa of Virgin Vie for arranging the Foot Fizz. Although we were unabe to collect, your help was much appreciated.

The girls from Kaper Hair and Beauty (High Street - nr Woolworths) for the part they played in the CaleyD Body Wax. Rumour has it myself and Yompa are up for nomination next year - more details as an when. :029:

To all those who offered their hospitality along the way, including Lady Fraser and those who walked with us from Dows. It makes it all the more special when people join us through the town to get the banta going.

I also extend my thanks to those who donated and sponsored. We estimate that we have exceeded the target set, yet the final total for fund raised is yet to be calculated once all funds have come in.

To Focus Rentals for the use of a support bus and Finally to CaleyD ("Dogs") for his priceless assistance in the preparation stages, along the route and for keeping tabs on the kitty. You excell yourself year on year and its great to have you as part of the HM team. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

As the kids would say 'One More Sleep to go!!!'

Can't wait to get walking. Bags are now fully packed and maps printed off. It's all rather exciting, isnt it?  :001:

(must not forget corned beef sarnies - must not forget corned beef sarnies - must not forget corned beef sarnies)

Actually, No they were'nt.

One lass from the borders was quite young and skinny. She felt terrible that she couldnt pick up her daughter as she was too heavy - at just 6 years old too.

She had been to the doc to get answers and he brushed it under the table saying it was her motabolism (spelling?). The poor girl gets short of breath walking to the front door from the car.

I know in our house, a treat is a treat not a neccesity. If they have had crisps they dont get a choclate. If they have a choc they wont get dessert. If they misbehave they dont get pudding. It's all about being strict on what they eat, yet not restricting the nice things they can have. They will forever play us against eachother with the 'if mum says no ask dad vica versa' routine, but it rarely works.  It's when they go to granny's house we get the problems... sweeties galore. They must think they win the golden ticket every time they head down there!!! :024:

Following on from the Don Cowie thread, I had a couple of ideas for next years formation based on the squad we currently have...

Tokers has had a difficult season and has been outshone by Proc IMO. Hastings too has had a tough season with some dodgy clearences and seems to forever drift into the centre of the park. McBain has covered well at the back and would link well with the Zander/Imrie duo to create from the left.

Wilson is still a 90 min player i think, and has proved he still has what it takes at the highest level. I agree with Cowies comments in the press that he deserves a new deal.

I prefer Wyness with Niculae up fornt. In the first couple of months to this season they linked extremely well, and but for a few injuries and appearences from the bench, I have no doubt Wyness would have had a better goals return this year. I recon he deserves 1 last season with us. Bayne means long ball football that not only makes the game boring to watch, but does not get the same goal returns as those worked from the midfield. Wyness and Niculae can hold up the play to suit.

Vigurs needs time to gel and would get many chances as a sub. I think its too soon for him just now. Zander now has match fitness after his great loan spell, and deserves a proper chance to prove he can cut the mustard.

Your thoughts and suggestions

Cowie is certainly a fans fave. A class act to watch and credit to him for stamping his mark on the SPL  :022:

Falkirk to Inverness.... der 

We intend to head over the Kincardine bridge and venture North to Dollar after the game. We then head over the Ochills into Gleneagles and onwards to Crieff (avoiding a busy 2 mile long straight road in the process - thank feck)

From there its along Loch Freuchie and over the hills into Kenmore. A route we have previousluy done - twice. LoL

Heading NE out of Kemore we head to Dalnacardoch, and weather permitting, the Pass of Glen Tromie. Should the weather and late snow melt be an issue, we shall follow Cycle Route 7 through Dalwhinnie and into Newtonmore and pretty much stick with the CR7 as far as Sluggan Bridge (carrbridge) but take in the Speyside Way too. Another route we have done before in both directions.

One the penultimate day we head to Daviot, with the final leg starting at Daviot woods and onwards to the Stadium. We'll probably aim for around 1pm for the Innes for a wee swally before out scheduled arrival at 1430...

Phew - that was a mouthful. A day to day schedule will probably be posted just before we set off so people can track our progress...

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET GOING... BRING IT ON :021: :021: :021:

Thats 'cause you're a bad cook... Your kids even admitted I am far better  :021: :rotflmao:

By this time in 8 days time we will be nearing the end of Day 1 at Dollar after gubbing Falkirk.

Everyone is really looking forward to this years event, as always. It will be excellent to finally have the 'Immorral' one on board, even for the last few days! The anticipation of his presence the last couple of years is finally set to become reality. Superb :022:

It will be another weird one this year too with the absence of the PB's and Gringos, yet the excitement is still there. I can't wait to get out on the road now!!! :021:

We'll no doubt try and update people on our progress during the week of walking both on the forum and on HighlandMarch.co.uk

It really is amazing how much dross people start talking when trying to forget the pain  :015: :015:

just a wee yelp, thats all we wanted to hear.... but no, fair play to him. Not even so much of a wimper.

Next year, perhaps Yompa could put himself forward??? the hairy beast!!! :rotflmao:

I can only reserve judgement on the guy as i dont think he had a decent enough crack at the whip. I dont think he is the style of player CB would consider

I do though think he is a crackin player and should be kept on the books for a second season.

Although not putting in great performances when he palyed up here, i think Henrik Larrson. The guy was phenominal at celtic and was inspirational in Barca's last Euro Cup glory night.

not to forget Barry Wilson when at Livingston. lol

Did Niculae not miss the first 2 or 3 games of this season because of his work permit?

I think I saw Deano Mac heading through the Airport on Friday.... Wonder if he is worth a second season to show brew what he is capable of. We've all seen his goals for Gillingham on youtube... 10 minute sub appearences here and there do no justice to anyone

I have recently been informed that over ?250 has so far been pledged towards CaleyD's body wax  :021:

Thats both arms and legs definately gettin waxed on the night. :rotflmao:

Sat with my mates along the pass of glan tromie with the sun on our backs and not a cloud in the sky, munchin on cheese sandwhiches and supping ice cold orange and lemonade...

That or in bed knowing I will actually get a feckin lye in without the kids (or the mrs) waking me up!!! :blah01:

Getting together =  :021:

getting hurt =  :019:

doing the hurting =  :018:

being asked back = :024:

thinking of going back =  :32:

going back = :33:

Yes I believe he is now the chaplain .... Gringo Jr can probably confirm  :004:

As I understand it the club Chaplain is a Rev Hugh Watt.

I said his name is Hugh Watt....

HUGH WATT!!!!!!!

Och forget it.  :001:

This football club has been one major factor in some of us fans being in Inverness today. The Paulibee's, Myself and some point in the future even the Amigos Gringo. There are no doubt others who have moved because of the club, and those that have stayed because of the club. ICT even brought me together with the future Mrs Jnr and gave me the best times of my life by Highland Marching. Something I will never regret and certainly hold dear.

Point being that fans like myself do not deserve the treatment of disloyalty (is that even a word) through lies that we have been subjected to this season. We have lost one of of greatest young players in Rankin, and stand to loose more of our stars in Wyness, Wilson and Black. Players that hold the heart of this club and play it on their sleeves.

I for one would love to see this team progress and move with the times, but I also believe that our club at the moment is becoming more of a farse than the SPL split and fixtures pile up.

Read Tug's words, re read them and read them again. Understand that we are not ashamed to call ourselves fans of ICT, but we're certainly discuseted at the way things have gone on behind the scenes and even on the pitch (probably because of it).

This really is a real mess - for all concerned :018:

Honesty is the Best Policy - a statemet I had drilled into me as a lad and one i still stick to on a day to day basis. Here we have a classc example as to why this statement holds great truth.

Why Now though?

Who is really to blame?

How do we rectify these problems?

and finally,

How can ICT bounce back from what can only really be described as the biggest embarrasement of the history that ICT hold?
