Caley Mad In Berks

Wow! How scarey was that in the last few minutes? Well done guys! Massive result.

Airdrie @ 4.50, please

Just a couple of noisy ones and a few quiet ones!

Does he no' know "No no Nanette"?

We really are turning into a load of whingers. Blaming the referee gets us nowhere and is childish in the extreme. We lose games because we don't play well and can't score goals. Simple as that. Bad refereeing decisions generally even out, maybe not in the course of a game, but certainly over a season. For example, many would say, including me, that we were lucky to get the last minute penalty against Rangers. I'm sure there are other examples on either side of the argument. To those who persist in blaming referees for our plight, grow up ffs.

Stranraer @ 6/1 (7.0), please.

Yup, that one works for me too ..... And for me too. I have to make a quick trip to Inverness next Tuesday for a funeral. Instead of flying straight there, I'm flying to Edinburgh and hiring a car there, just so as I can experience the view, and feeling, of driving down from about Daviot into town, once again.

There's a name from the past. Wasn't he a referee too? I remember playing cricket with him for Highland at Fraser Park. Highland had some decent footballers in their team too, who also were handy cricketers, For example, 'Peem' Mcpherson (Caley), Willie John McIntosh (Caley) and Len Grant (Clach, I think). Happy days!

Again I find myself agreeing with IHE. That's twice in a week now, really very worrying. I feel exactly the same way about ICT, to me it is just an extension of my feelings for Caley, which is in my blood, and always will be. I know that had I been in Inverness in the time leading up to the merger that I would have been dead against it. It was only my remoteness, and therefore lack of direct involvement that made it seem to me not so much of an issue. What surprises me reading the Pie and Bovril thread is how relatively young the main 'rebels' are. They seem to have only been Caley supporters for a few years before the merger. I would have expected them to be more 'died in the wool' Caley fans like myself from the 50s and 60s who would have been the most opposed.

I caught a bit of Motherwell v Dundee Utd being replayed on the Gaelic channel, BBC Alba last night. Absolute gash. I can't believe either of these two teams are so far ahead of us in the SPL. And Motherwell's pitch of course is an absolute joke. Kids could build sand castles on it!

I'm glad he played well again yesterday. A bit harsh to make him the total scapegoat for the loss to Falkirk. Admittedly he gave away a penalty, but from what I understand, we were all over Falkirk in the second half, even with 10 men, and our defeat could be quite easily attributable to our inability to score goals. Not for the first time this season either.

Very good IHE. Here's another verse :- How many vodkas does Johndo drink at night Before he comes on to this board How many times must he tell us he is right Before he knows we are bored When will he know that he talks so much shyte Maybe once Djebi-Zadi has scored Or, the answr my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

I had noticed that you had actually agreed with someone else. That was surprise enough! But you really know how to upset a man - I can live with being called 'soft', and even '*******', but 'southern'? Now that really hurts. There's me thinking I was just educating these folk in the Scottish suburbs, not becoming one of them.

Dunfermline v Partick, draw @ 3.50, please.

Off topic a bit I know, but that match Scotty refers to, v Rangers at Tannadice was one of the best ever 'away' days, even though we lost 3-0. I'll always remember the standing ovation we gave our team at the end. It seemed to last for minutes and even the Rangers fans were impressed.

Spot feckin on - There is no comparison to that three. Excuse me while I go take a tablet and lie down - I find myself agreeing with IHE!

As I've always said Ronaldo, if a joke's worth telling, its worth telling twice!

Why don't you say what you mean, woman? But didn't you know that IHE has two a..es (as you call them), one he has tatooed and the other he speaks out of.

Yes, I have. I presume that there was some point to that question.

I just don't understand you. You still haven't answered my previous question - which players are consistent and a 100% reliable??? You're right to inply that no player is 100% reliable. We've seen that many times this season alone. However what you need to understand is that once IHE has a 'down' on a player, there is no changing him, no matter how well that player does. We've seen it before with Marius. Fortunately, not all ICT supporters are so blinkered. Keep the faith!

Predictable utter bollox.

Stranraer @ 9.0, please

So Zadi has passed the Castle Greyskull test as well. What's that, 6 in a row now with no sign of him letting us down? I see some of the doubters are coming round now. Maybe by the end of the season he might be accepted by the others as well, if they're man enough to admit it!

Just watched the highlights. They made it look like Rangers v Esson!. Looks like we had a bit of luck at last. Not a lot wrong with Rangers 'goal' from what I could see, and I'm amazed we were awarded that penalty, especially in the last minute at Ibrox! Well done referee. I'm sure you will get a good reception next time you're at Ibrox. Anyway, absolutely great result. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone played from those who were able to attend the game.

Yes, its amazing isn't it, Absent Friend. We could name countless howlers which have cost us points this season, by, for example, Duff, Esson, Grant, just for starters. But because Zadi might make one he is singled out by some for special attention. Long may his good run of form continue.
