  1. Has old Caley Girl's prediction come true ? Is this the blood of Christ ?
  2. The message going out to the world is that Scottish football is corrupt..........This must be put right. (I was going to say sorted but someone might take it the wrong way)
  3. Charles you gave me a chuckle with your last two lines. Yes those were the days when adults had these furtive whispers, not only that, they would only really talk to eachother when you were tucked up in bed. I remember I would often try to eavesdrop on the conversations and it always puzzled me why they could or would not bring us children more into their ' more meaningful world ' ...nowadays I'm afraid children grow up too soon by being part and parcel of all that is being talked about. Maybe the next generation will strike a better balance, who knows! Yes my father and I played that same golfcourse on a number of occasions, ( it always reminded me of a mini Strathpeffer) It was remarkably well kept and very tricky for all it's size. Sad to hear of it's demise. Incidentally pre golf era, as kids, we used to play up Craig Dunain itself, used to know every inch of it, Some of the outcrops were quite dangerous to play on but just like the Wild West. The Sandy braes on Torvean hill was another of our haunts used to be great fun running down and trying to stop before you landed in the canal. The canal banks themselves used to be our race track, running cycling and sometimes both. Who needed play stations ??????? there was too much to do.
  4. Right through the forties and into the late fifties Craig Dunain was always referred to as the Asylum and I can vaguely remember someone escaping from there around 1952, The poor fellow, at first, caused the folk a certain ammount of fear because of his departure but as it ;happened he managed to keep out of the clutches of his persuers for more than fourteen days so was deemed to be sane and given release in good grace. The fear factor then dissipated. Strange times indeed Dougiedanger has just posted and I agree the grounds were magnificent in the old days and there was quite a testing golf course on the side of the hill. I dont suppose there is any signs of that now.
  5. One potato ,two potato three potato four..........five potato, six potato, seven potato, MORE ?????
  6. Not by a long long way!............be patient comeuppance is still on the cards!
  7. Sorry to see him go, a grafter with a good footballing brain..............Good luck to the lad , hope he finds a club that suits him.
  8. Seance with the Seer............................IHE is the Seer. He is the MacKenzie......the Immortal One.....born on the shores of Glenfinnan.......a seventh son of a seventh son with a direct lineage to Coinneach Obhar MacKenzie born in Uig Lewis and domiciled at Brahan Castle on the Black Isle. And to think I thought he was from Sneck ! Mind you I was thinking about his great great Uncle the original Seer who lived in a cave under Loch Ness near Abriachan
  9. My goodness IHE you have excelled yourself this time, you have actually got every word right and making sense too. Your seance with the Seer has done you a world of good. I suggest you continue with these spiritual meetings on a regular basis then perhaps you really will be able to give ICT the advice they will need to reach the top six next season. and maybe you will also get your predictions realised as well. Take a rest now old man we dont weant you overdoing things in the close season. P. S. there will not be a charge on this occasion but should I find you slipping back to your old ways I shall have to have a rethink !
  10. Yet Hogg gets a contract, not to mention OTJ. Exactly my point Fraz, how many more suspect players can we afford ???? Remember the two you mention have good experience,that goes in their favour.
  11. I'm afraid that in these difficult times there has to be a lot of ruthlesness if teams are to survive. We cant afford another season of injuries, look what happened at the start of this season, we did not have a settled team because of injuries, resulting in a horrific start in the league. A manager in our circumstances cannot take the chance on any weaknesses no matter what the potential is in the player, it would be a gamble which is not affordable imo. Build up a strong group of less injury prone players and if there is money left over when the nucleus of the squad is in place then, perhaps, a luxury here and there wouldn't go amiss, until then go for proven strength and ability.
  12. H. T: 1 - 0 F. T: 4 - 1 1st ICT: Hayes Hibs: Griffiths crowd: 3022
  13. I still prefer DURBS it's got the right ring to it !!!!!!................ steelacks with a ch in, is acceptable !!!!!!! Ge'een as in ge'een rooched fantastic I'd forgotten that one two. I'll get back to the tramps later.
