I'm predicting a Desmond...

This. It was a nice sunny night too

I think you're confusing me with caleyboy! I could give very few cares regards the club name. Call us the inverness allstars if needs be

Ah well! If only i spent longer than 5 minutes on it... Talking of too many pricks....

I never specified home support! in fact i referred to TOTAL attendance! Was trying to make the point that the prices had very little detrimental affect on the attendance. From either half of the support

back of envelope maths: looking at the avg attendance being about 3k, i would assume ST holders to number about 1500...? Just a stab in the dark. Assuming that every other person at the game yesterday was a paying adult sitting in either the North or South Stands... 4200 - 1500 = 2700 x £25ea = £67,500 in ticket sales If the ticket prices were reduced, there is very little increase in attendance, but we'll say the prices were cut to what, £20... 2700 x £20 = £54,000 the difference being £13,500 To make up this difference, the attendance would need to increase by £13,500 / £20 = 675 people, just to return the same through-the-gates income as the club would have received yesterday. That's an additional 25% of those that turned up, making a total attendance of 4875. Obviously, the more you cut the prices, the more people need to turn up... if the prices were cut to £18 for example, you would need 1050 additional people attending to make the difference. These aren't massive numbers but as a %age of our normal attendance, it's a lot of people. And i really don't think a fiver is making that much of a difference to a thousand people...

hows that old caley girl?

The Kessock Bridge repalced the ferry that connected North and South Kessock, hence the name. The dolphins swim underneath the bridge that stands over our stadium This is true, however there is only one Inverness Castle (and if i would of thought my design was actually going to be taken seriously i would of bothered to change the colour of the castle to pinky red and put a G4S van in front of it as well!)

Foran turned up in his suit, as are the players now, which I think is a good change that Richie has made. it's funny really, everyone shouts for more direct, attacking football, but in doing so, you leave yourself vulnerable to losing goals. you cant have it both ways. we criticise the team for playing out from the back, then moan when they play a hopeful long ball, or try and slip through a pass that gets cut out. WE asked for change. we got it. time to deal with the consequences. A six-pointer - the second game of the season - get a grip!

Great to see Cammy Mackay getting a stint of regular first-team action and keeping a clean sheet for Elgin City.

a team very much on form!

ironically, that will be one of the loudest/roudiest home supports of the season! apart from the low crowds, and the high percentage of sweetie rustlers, the TCS doesnt really lend itself to a fantastic atmosphere....

Such a shocking turn-out! far too many empty seats for our first league home-match of the season. For those that have to 'pick and choose' you would like to think that this would be one of the ones they would pick?! Shockingly low attendance from the travelling folk, who have their shortest trip to make?! unbelievable! disappointed with the result. happy that i got my monies worth though. definitely entertaining; i may not be right too many times, but i did propose that we would see very few 0-0's, and i stand by that. yes, it would have been nice to beat the wee team, but i think most of us are losing perspective, probably as a result of the successful pre-season and the games against Dunf and Arbroath - we are a team very-much in transition, where survival is our number 1 priority. Yes, it'd be nice to score 4 goals every week, and win easily, but that's just not going to happen - the league is much tighter this year, and we're just not there yet. I read somewhere on here that the club ,must be ruing their decision to give Richie such a long contract; and they need to back him etc. well, these results I think, are why they have given him the length of contract, and THAT is how they are backing him. Richie at the helm is a long-term project, these things take time. By giving him this length of contract they are saying 'we know its gonna be tough, but we're sticking by you'. And it's clear they have released funds for signing new players - that we are not getting more over the line could be for a multitude of reasons that many of us just will not fully appreciate - agents fee's, extreme wages, contract lengths, and, oh yes, maybe the players just don't want to move to the sneck! Who could blame them - being boo'd by your own support, half an hour into the first home game of the season! I haven't seen/heard any post-match from Richie, but i would assume that he wont blame the referee and will say we weren't good enough, but that's one of the worst referee'd games I have seen! Cunty could've had a couple close to two yellows, Draper could easily have picked up a second Yellow. the whole OFW outside the box thing. Draper being strangled in the box. Tansy being floored in the box. Boden scoring after the whistle had gone. Just so many things that went for us and against us. Just laughable. Slight improvement from Partick game Anyway, on to the next one....Down the Gorgie in a weeks time, lets hope their is another slight improvement for that one. Lets get behind our team! COME ON CALEY THISTLE!!!!

Anyone that thought this season was going to be easy is living in a dream world! New manager, new system, new players....Not going to be an instant success!

Wait for it- what 's happened to the ofw money from the euro 's? I cant believe all this money pish is coming out the woodwork again! We operate at a loss. Windfall's plug the holes. How many times does it need to be said?

But Aberdeen were playing ....

Could all be part of his early season winding up as has previously been alluded too. Also some more game time ahead of a start on Saturday ?

I just green dotted Charles ...What 's going on with the world ?!

If we had scored first then it would've a different outcome I'm sure of it

And in good voice

Hardly. Not the first prem team to be beaten by an on-form team. Just a typical cup upset

How did doran look?
