  1. Thought this would be a bit of fun....

    #1 - You remember Scotrail being a shirt sponsor

    #2 - You recall when the club shop wasn't in a portacabin

    Anyone got any good memories of being an ICT fan?

    I still have that shirt. Feckin love it too.

    Have to say its a bit tight now tho haha

  2. What I find slightly curious about CTO is the lack of Inverness based mods /site admin and this also seems to apply to the most prolific or more vocal posters amongst us I don't really think some posters should accuse all refuseniks to be old firm supporters though when there are a fair number of posters within our own ranks that fall in the same bracket I'd hazard a guess everyone ICT supporter over the age of 35 would have a so called big team me included(Nottingham Forest) Dougal

    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 ......

    As I've mentioned before , the lack of respect shown to Thistle is the only thing wrong with the merger . Otherwise it has been one success story after another . 2nd in the league , managed by a former Captain of England , and just knocked off Celtic in their own back yard , trust me , it will never be as good as this ever again , but why oh why , the insulting playing strip , how would Caley fans like it if Caley Thistle played in black and red stripes , with a few (almost invisible) blue squiggles through it ?

    I'd like us just to play in solid red and blue vertically striped strips, Barcelona style.

    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 .....

    I couldn't care where the mod's are based.

    They are lousy whether in the schneck or timbucktoo

    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

  3. 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

  4. For once i have to agree with Alex. We are now in the best EVER form of our existence.

    Second in the top flight of the country's football.

    immense really.

    I really feel another 3 points comin boxing day and the ultimate of beating the dwellers/shadows on the second.

    Great times and fank feck the myans got it wrong

    giruy c*unty

  5. Not meaning to p1ss on anyones firework, but in answer to the OP question, Id say were are in a false position. We have been punching well above our weight so far this season. Last season it was St Johnstone and Motherwell, this season it is us. Im a realist, and come the end of the season, i think we will be doing brilliant to be battling to be in the top half of the league.

    **** on what ya like but it wont be our parade.

    Knew we'd thrash these an so it continues

  6. As one of the younger members of the ICT fan base I don't know a lot about the merger but ive been surprised to hear that it has kept many fans

    from both teams away from supporting ICT? Find it quite silly TBH

    Really!!!! I sense a rogue stag @easterross81

    I'm not alone :-|
