ferben1994

Jesus Christ did someone get a wee bit impatient that nobody gave them any attention after their 1st outburst. Read whats goin on all around you 95% of posters are absolute delighted that our man tb rejected the offer of a move down sarf which not many would have. From here on in we should forget any petty gripes and get ready for the end of potentially the best season ever..........togetherness

Y cant dougal just fu@k off.

Belter imho

Yesssssss best news this year

i just read that too on their forum and they still not overly confidant

Jeeeezussss

and me. Do we have any idea when an announcement is to be made either way???

Their not at all confident on their forums at all. Always thought Gary megson and barnsley would have been a great match ;-)

Allegedly... oh aye cheers lol

Reef.. I'm afraid that statement simply shows how poorly informed you actually are on these topics and also again highlights your tendency to come up with the first unsubstantiated statement which comes into your head as long as it suits your preconceived point of view. What actually happened was that INE's (not HIE's) preferred stadium site was Stratton Farm on the A96 which they wanted to develop to kick start the Golden Mile. This was one of a short list of four sites from a long list of 13 from Bruce Hare's 1993 feasibility study into stadium sites in Inverness - which is incidentally not at all well endowed with suitable sites. Also among the four was the current East Longman site which was the strong preference of THE CLUB. ICT and INE then had a protracted debate about this during the spring of 1994 and the CLUB's will eventually prevailed. So Inverness Caledonian Thistle's stadium is where it is because that is where Inverness Caledonian Thistle and not INE wanted it! It is also reasonable to mention that the possibility of a marina first arose away back in 1995 - over four years before David Sutherland had anything to do with ICT - in an interview I did with Councillor Clive Goodman, Chairman of the Harbour Trust, about the possibility of the stadium road linking through to the Harbour which he said could vastly increase the value of the area, which indeed it has. The Common Good Fund's £900,000 stadium grant has been refunded many times over by that alone. slightly off topic but i used to go with one of councillor clive goodmans daughters back in the day an the guy is a crook. Seem to remember a few years ago reading about him in the local rags also.

i think chairmen very rarely listen to their fans when selecting new managers. Barnsleys chairman will be desperate for tb to sign up now to avoid further rejection like so driscoll did

Haha bradford did not struggle in beating Aston villa tonight

Here i only used the word reaction. Never insinuated it would be negative.

Standing by for some reaction to this guy ^^^^^

never new CRAIG Burley got a shot at Scotland manager lol amateurs

I still have that shirt. Feckin love it too. Have to say its a bit tight now tho haha

and be so kind to post aforesaid YouTube link on here for Xmas pleasr

Any one help? I clicked the link but cant read anything

I was a season ticket holding Inverness based supporter when I founded the site in 1994 ... but life happens. Would you like me to turn it over to someone else now that I am in Toronto and just a shareholder rather than a locally based season ticket holder? Make me an offer? I know the costs involved in having run this site for free but using commercial grade hosting and software for the last 18, almost 19 years. As for supporting a big team, yes i followed one (rather than supported one) prior to the creation of ICT. That team was Celtic. I was a paying customer at Telford Street but watched/supported Celtic on TV. My first visit to Celtic Park was the postponed game in 2000 where I ran an ICT bus via the Caley Inn, and my first time inside the stadium was in the away end on Feb 8th 2000. Even one of the ultimate refuseniks (Kavs), told me later that he respected the fact that I was a Caley fan and that I dropped all other allegiances when ICT was formed, even if he himself could not respect 'that team'. I am now a season ticket holder at Toronto FC in MLS and make no secret of my Scottish allegiance. If the two teams ever played, I would be in the ICT end and that is a fact. TFC are my wee team now, even if TFC play in a larger stadium, have a larger fan base, more money etc etc etc ...... I would not argue with the strip thing other than to say that aesthetically there are limited things you can do with red/white/blue/black. I would be happy if we had a red/black home strip and blue/white away strip then alternated them every couple of years. Regardless of percentages, both Thistle and Caley are our history and should be viewed as equal partners. Alternatively, I would also back a permanent combination of (equal width) red/blue vertical stripes. Those have always been my favourite ICT strips and as mentioned above, definitely unique. It is our "Brand" if you like. If other teams (globally) with vertical stripes or (in the SPL) with horizontal stripes can stick with the same basic design and just tweak it every year or two to be slightly different then I dont see why we cannot .... our away strip could then alternate between blue/white and red/black etc ..... Why? because we closed a thread that had become personal and abusive? We did that 18 years ago, we did it 10 years ago, and we will continue to do it. However, please feel free to follow our site rules and report the specific message that so offends you and the mods will discuss and/or re-open threads (minus the abuse) if they feel it is warranted. i never abused anyone on that thread. If anything i was called an idiot for comparing what we are doing this year and hopefully next with another small team but with a bit of tongue in cheek attached. I do apologise tho for my last comment on this thread. Out of order. Anyway to one and all (ictfc fans players management and their families) have a super Xmas and lets have another 3 points come boxing day

Hopefully a shinnie draper warren and otj to follow that would be ideal

I couldn't care where the mod's are based. They are lousy whether in the schneck or timbucktoo 36 years old always caley/ ictfc never been better

Nice to see the moderators can lock a perfectly decent thread for no reason whatsoever and then open it for themselves to make comment then lock it again And why was the Monaco thread closed in the 1st place

My brain hurt

Ahhhhh i always wondered what that big h on forehead meant. I thought i was jus caught in a neverending repeat of red dwarf
