12th Man

The next ones a cup game against Celic, anyone confident for this one? we always seem to follow up a below par game by a great performance. Can anyone remember excuses from Celtic managers for being beaten and has 'The A9 put a curse on the Celtic team bus' been used yet.

I dont think things are doing that badly,January is always tight for a lot of people,also having Ross County in the SPL will reignite interest in local football and will certainly be a talking point, it will increase revenue for the local area, a new attendance record will be broken and it will be from a local team and not the OF, Hospitality at a premium rate will be full, a full house for hosting 3 clubs instead of 2 and it will save the club a fair bit for the short journey north instead of heading down the A9 I dont think the same thing happened for Motherwell when Hamilton got promoted. Giving schools and clubs free entry is a great idea, they may spent a few pounds whilst at the game but more importantly even if only 5% become fans for life its worth it, the club and players do put themselves out and about in the community and members of the supporters trust will be able to give far more info on that than I could. Back to French lessons,Many moons ago I used to go out with a girl from Nantes, now that was an education

It looks like this is a done deal so I would like to wish him well for the future. PS Try not to smash up any glass tables with your arm before your first match. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16760965.stm

Thought we could of/should of won it in the second half but we are now 3rd in the recent form table.

Same! :P Did Tade the Mennace and Gnasher get up to any mischief

Well thats good news I did wonder why he wasnt allowed to play.

Try Foxes,The Room or Hoots

Williams wont be available for the cup game, as for Celtic coming in with an offer, it would be a sign of weakness on their part if they have to resort to that before the match, so I would be glad if they did as it would prove things arent as solid in their camp as they would like people to think.

Why only do half a job when 3rd is 10 points away

Tv has done wonders for the old firm in promoting their existence. We will have 5 televised league games in a row starting against rangers, so if locals want to start calling themselves ICT fans for the first time Im all in favour of it.

If the tickets are going on sale at 4.45 today to the general public,how late is the ticket office staying open till after the game.

Why did all the oompa loompas think they were so tough??? were we supposed to be scared lol. As for 50 odd fans, watch the highlights, turn the volume up and listen when shinnie scores.

Was thinking the same but no news is good news,

We cant lose by that I mean we can do no wrong. Celtic were struggling in the league and level with Well, they beat Motherwell in the league and you would have thought they had beaten Real Madrid, they beat us and I would say they grew in confidence so much after that they havent lost a game since. All the stats go completely out the window as far as Im concerned and they will have to come back and face the team, that dreaded team that will always haunt them. Highland Hospitality can feck off for the day and I hope their visit to the Highlands is a miserable one. As for choosing we wont be beaten in either.

He plays his best when hes fired up, he scored a cracking goal against us when our fans were giving him stick but can also put a ball out for a throwin when aiming at goal. He was good at crunching players feet off the ball, when the ref/ linesman wasnt watching and has a knack of convincingly tripping himself up to win a free kick. I think he will have a positive effect on the pitch but have a negative effect in the dressing room.

I paid for mine over the phone and will collect later.

I enjoyed the banter between the ICT fans and the bus pram wa*#kers,the pars fans were more interested watching us than watching their own team, Still a bit confused by them chanting you only sing when your winning when the score was 1-1 ??

At least the tv revenue will go towards paying for the flood lights

Can you save me a pie for saturday.

Really enjoyed the game as live on bbc Alba, it was a great team effort so well done but theres no time spare to feel smug about it as we still have to knock a team out of a cup midweek and the last time we played them in the cup, I considered the Pars to be a big club, its been that long ago. Weve beaten them many a time since then, so hopefully its a good game to watch.

Stick a bet on it now!! I had a dream the Thursday before the first game that we drew 1-1. I told my dad and brother that I had a wee betting tip for them to lump on 1-1 but didn't really think to put a bet on it. And low and behold we drew 1-1!! I'll update any dreams I have this week!! Well I think the odds on Wilson as an any time scorer must be pretty good.

leagues above the other comments, so good I may even complement you on it the next time I spot you in the Archers bar at Loopallu, as I scrounge a pint off you.

I had a dream that we beat the pars 2-0,the only down side was that I missed the start, imagine that late for your own dream so someone told that we were 1-0 up, then Barry Wilson??? scored the second hang on, his goal was remarkably like the goal against Motherwell when we knocked them out of the cup,the ball was floated in from the right hand side over the keeper and in to the top lhs of the goal whilst the keeper was off the line. Anyway back to reality, I think I may be staying in Dunf or Rothes prem inn next week so will def be going, making a noise at the game is far better than shouting at a tv so looking forward to the match, the last time I was there, Cox won the game in our first match back in the 1st div. That was the match that IHE looked confused and elated at the same time, as the ICT fans were making so much noise for the Caley Jags when he arrived.
