12th Man

I would go for mainly the Caley thistle champions, a ha ha ha ha ha ha, team, Esson Proctor,Tokely,Munro,Golly Hayes,Duff,Cox,Ross/Foran ----Flash Eric, -----------Rooney

Its been postponed as Melville was supposed to attend, I think Dundee will be ok, arent they supposed to be debt free now.

If I were you I'd be asking ICT to confirm or deny that. Honestly - is it worth it ? I am determined to make a statement to the Police and I have the names of the two stewards - but should the Trust not be going to Hibs on our behalf ? Your perfectly entitled to personally make a complaint to the police regarding this too, you are the one with the most accurate info and they will have to follow it up. Our fans are boisterous and full of beans and bring a lot of life and entertainment to a day out. I could understand being evicted for throwing objects, drunk and incapable (souldnt have been let in, in the first place though)aggressive behavior, vandalism or running on the pitch. But standing too frequently ??? is bewildering. Was anyones view restricted by people standing?,did anyone make a complaint in front for fear of their safety?? Has anyone been chucked out for standing at half time??? (whats the difference) Now if you were to start a poll, I don't mean just on this site but start an independent one and put a link to it on every SPL teams forum inviting people to sign a petition regarding the overzealous stewarding at Easter Road, stating something like. I intend to boycott games at Easter road for this season due to overzealous stewarding and leave your name,Team and how much you would have paid for admission. You could sent it in to ER in a month, something will get done when they start tallying up those potential figures. That would make you feel a lot better, IHE.

I'm pleased that the Hibs fans feel despondent about this too, Instead of encouraging away fans to enter their stadium, especially from as far away as Inverness in these difficult times, they would rather resort to intimidating away supporters who do turn up and make them think twice about returning. This type of overzealous stewarding must be costing Hibernian an absolute fortune in lost revenue. If Hibernian have any sense regarding this, they should make it publicly known that they are trying to get this resolved and offer the fans which were ejected a refund or a free ticket. Check out he Hibees bounce for pictures, one poor fan was being talked to by a policeman when all of the ICT fans were standing after Rooney's goal. :annoyed: After checking the picture again its possible the fan was clapping at the policeman.

Might be worth phoning Jim Trayor and talking about the draconian measures, I bet a lot of people have similar gripes regarding excessive stewarding.

Mr Ender or would you prefer Rector Ender? the q and a's, for the test is, Which Bird is featured on the ICT crest. A, Eagle B, Seagull C, Katie Price

I noticed today that ICT are running a competition in the Inverness Courier offering- -EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WEST STAND- the competition is running for every home league game excluding the Old firm. The competition is open to Primary schools and the winning school will receive 250 free tickets and can be used by pupils teachers parents and guardians. You have to buy the courier to enter and your head teacher has to sign each entry.

Any premonitions?, dreams?, do you have a good feeling about any of the players? Can you feel it in your bones? Who's next in line to score a peach of a goal.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8985939.stm It would be amusing if yogi was asked the same questions after being beaten by ICT, fingers crossed.

His signing fairly adds a fair bit of competition to the midfield and sitting in behind Rooney. I can see him being played infront of Cox and Duncan and passing out to Rooney Hayes and Foran, if we sit back more like Hamilton and let our forward 3 do the attacking, he needs finishers in front of him though as he is more likely to pass than shoot but at least the quality of pass should be good to the front 3. Hes also got a point to prove against the clubs that didnt take him on so that should be entertaining.

A usefull signing I suppose, a good passer of the ball, which is what seems to be lacking slightly in midfield at the moment and will keep other players on their toes.

We are playing on Wednesday night, which is what I thought may happen anyway with Celtic playing on the Sunday and according to the ICT website it wont be on tv. http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/news/article/the-co-operative-insurance-cup-third-round-draw-2010-09-03/

They do have a quiet section, its in Inverness library, a neighbor popped in there on a match day and told me that there was a row of people at a table wearing ICT scarfs and he was told to sush, not only for creaking the door too loudly as he came in but for screaming aaaagh ya ba***rding f**king c**t ya ! when he caught his thumb in the door. He told me the library had to bin their seats in the end, as they couldnt get the stains out.

Have another dot,your reputation is starting to follow Icts season last year regarding points.

Due to past cup success, I would say we are one of the main teams that Lennon would want to avoid at this stage. Which is sandwiched between our ESPN Sat 12pm home ko with Hearts and Sat 3pm St Mirren away. Whilst Celtics is between their Sky sports match on Sunday 12.45 away game to Kilmarnock and home to Hibs at 3 pm the following saturday. We have an extra days rest with them having a Sunday game but its probable that our fixture will be played on a Wednesday but we will still have an extra day to recover.

I see where your coming from but of the away games that I have attended I have been truely impressed with the vocal support of our away fans, its not about us and them, maybe a lot of them live in the central belt and an away match to us is a home game to them, I dont know? Would you come on board it it was a generic flag to be used home and away then RIG

Your dead right, their philosophy was double up on tills to speed things up all they need are fast staff. commission is the way forward. I wouldnt even bother to go for anything after the halftime whistle now, if I was to go it would be during extra time and miss a bit of the game.

Not really sure what your getting at . Are you looking for contributions towards the cost off a flag ? And whats the difference between a home and an away flag ? Yes, put some money towards buying a flag with a design for the away fans, why the away fans? because they are of a different caliber than the home fans and I would like to believe that they have a positive effect on our players, so I dont mind dipping my hand in my pocket once in a while for something constructive

Is there a catering van at the east side of the north stand to help out, if you went into the bar before the game you could get a pie with no queues.

I dont know if this has been discussed before or even if we have one, as you wouldn't see it from the away stand How about a large away flag. If someone wanted to take ownership of this idea, in principle I would be happy to donate towards a large flag as a way of appreciation for our vocal away fans,in the same way that we have donated towards Grant Munro,even just ?5 + 30p for paypal. If we get enough support maybe the the Supporters trust and club may like to chip in. You know what,if this takes off, it would also be a nice gesture if T and M appeared on this as well as the players as a way of thanks for the away support. I would like to make a donation is this were to come to fruition happen Would anyone else be interested in donating towards this if it were to take off. What are your thoughts on this.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8953493.stm There wasnt a single highlight of us with the ball in the first half wonder why? We should have taken a point from that game, you see weak penalties given but that was a stonewaller, are refs too scared to give penalties against Hamilton now in case its deemed a conspiracy. Sutherland this time

If your pals usually buy a ticket for the game, it wont always be in the same place anyway, tell the club that you want to surrender the season ticket seat for the game and move it to where the other seats are going to be bought, best to get the owner of the ST to go in and set it sorted,its a bit easier being there as you can look at the screen and see whats available.(the ST is for the owner only so you have to watch what you say) There was a great turnout for the Hamilton game and you may not be able to just turn up and sit anywhere so I wouldnt leave it too late to book

What are the differences between now and our last season in the SPL, looking back would you say that we are in a far stronger position or weaker. Our keeper is far better this time around, we also have a quality no 2. Ldz is away, I thought he was a good defender although not always consistent but he was prone to giving the ball away whilst trying to run past an opposing midfielder and left us wide open for a counter attack. Our new left back, what a find, and he makes Imrie look like a nancy boy. A new CB, Tokely. Barrowman is away, enough said. When Rooney had the ball the last time Round I would expect his shot to miss the goal now I have complete faith in grande balls. Kerr is away, not bad midfielder but he used to sit back when the ball was in front of him and the opposition would pick it up, like Stratford last season. The youngsters coming through the ranks now are of far better quality and they can add something to the team and not just brought on to run down the clock. I could go on all day but our Goalie has improved, we have a solid back 4, an experienced pairing in midfield,Flash Eric can jinx his way past any defense and just wait till the 3 dubliners are at their peak again. The futures bright, the futures Red and blue and White.

How was the bacon roll? I was happy to find nicely-chilled cans of draught Guinness in the sports bar yesterday (?2.90). Thank you, Darren :biggrin: ?3.96 for a 4 pack in Tescos. I tried drinking 4 cans that I bought in Tescos once but I got chucked out before I could finish the 2nd tin.

How was the bacon roll? I was happy to find nicely-chilled cans of draught Guinness in the sports bar yesterday (?2.90). Thank you, Darren :biggrin: Didnt have one, didnt see any advertised on the board at the servery and I was running a bit late. A bit more clarity is required regarding the bar. Im led to believe that you cant get in after 2.45 but the barman decided to stop serving at, I made it 2.38, he said to me "your the last" which left a few unhappy people behind,who were probably wanting to see what the bar was like for the first time and left with a negative impression. How about putting a cardboard sign up saying bar closing 15 mins before KO servery open for food and soft drinks as it saves even more people standing there hoping to be served.
