  1. If Robbo has no interest in this job he should come out and say so, this would quash any rumours and stop them from growing arms and legs. We don't want the same situation that arose when Dundee United came calling for Hughes and he was refused permission to speak to them.
  2. I could never understand how Celtic let McCart go and go on to sign Hendry from Dundee, there is no comparison. I really believe that McCart will turn out to be one of our best signings and he will go on to achieve a lot in the game.
  3. They couldn't cope with the name, Inverness ClachnaCaley Thistle. Give me an I give me a N ....
  4. I see that Danny Williams, who left ICT at the same time as Vincent, has been released by Accrington Stanley, after spending the season on loan at Fylde. They certainly never over achieved after leaving the Highlands.
  5. Another average player leaves ICT. We have lost far better players than him and survived. I wish him well, but can't see him making much of an impression at county, in my opinion they have far better players to fill their midfield than Joe. He has undoubtedly increased his wages, and if he is satisfied to sit on the bench and not play, then it's the right move for him. I heard a few weeks ago that he bought a house in Inverness, and was also told his other half works for Robbo's wife, so it didn't take rocket science to work out he was either staying with us or going to county, and money talks.
  6. When he joined, I asked Alan Simpson did he actually believe what he was posting or was he just being controversial to collect the red dots. He just laughed it off. There does seem to be a theme that he is out of sync with the majority of posters, but it takes all sorts, and we are all entitled to our own opinion.
  7. I'm 62 as well, and have been a Jaggie all my life. Home and away when work would allow. I'm glad you can still bounce with the best, I haven't been so lucky, I have too many health issues which slow me down now. I'm still vocal at games and can argue with the best, but the looks that I get from a lot of folk makes me think that they enjoy sitting in silence, almost passionlesss. I don't know what the answer is, unless, as you say, get all the like minded folk to change there seats and sit together, which I fear will not happen.
  8. I couldn't agree more IHE. We are probably contemporaries, although from different sides of the rivalry, from our old Highland League days, and there was more passion and atmosphere at the games then, than at most of our home games now. Our singing section remains uncovered and empty, and the only time I have seen anybody sitting there was at our European tie.
  9. At the beginning, he looked like he had potential, but he spends more time falling down than he does on his feet. I really don't think he will be missed. I wish him well for the furure, and maybe he thinks going down the leagues will help his form.
  10. Obviously the away fans go to the home games as well, but it's just that they will be spread out in different parts of the ground, instead of all being together in one group, shouting and singing like they do at away matches. Because of this, you may be sitting at home matches next to a group of supporters who are not very vocal, and your lone voice gets lost. I shout a lot at games, but most of the folk around me seldom do. I have noticed at some grounds that some of the stands are closed, so that the main stand is full and creates a better atmosphere. I'm sure this wouldn't be popular with the north stand supporters, and I'm not suggesting that we do, but unless we get like minded folk sitting together I feel the atmosphere will not change. We have a very reserved home support, unless the young lads are in with their drum, but they only seem to turn up at derbies, and what they deem as important matches, instead of creating a good atmosphere at every home game.
  11. I would take the red and black stripes from The Jaggies for the new top and the white shorts of caley for the new shorts, that sounds just perfect.
  12. I haven't heard the Trafford rumour, but I heard last night that Chalmers and Donaldson are County bound next season.
  13. I fear Robbo is going to have another rebuilding job to do for next season if all the rumours are correct, so it's good to see new players coming in already, it gives them a good pre season when it starts. There will be plenty of players out of contract from other clubs now the season is coming to an end, and it will remain to be seen who can be persuaded to come north and play for us, knowing our financial constraints on wages.
  14. I agree with a lot of the sentiments on here. We gave it our all, but diabolical refereeing decisions coupled with poor finishing will not win us games. On the whole, in my opinion, it's been a good season, it could have been a better one, but if you had told me at the beginning of the season that we would make the semi finals of the playoffs and the Scottish Cup, I would have scoffed at you. To finish third, behind the leagues two best funded teams, says a lot for Robbo's recruitment and drive, and if we can keep the majority of the squad together for next season and add a few quality new faces, I think we can do some damage next term. It looks like Robbo will be missing for the start of next season after his comments about the standard of refereeing in this country, but I wholeheartedly agree with him. No collective of officials should be immune to criticism, they have been over protected for far too long. If players or managers step out of line they get hammered by the Association, where as referees can make blunder after blunder and they just get another game to officiate at. Kevin Clancy being a good example, he doesn't send off the sevco player for elbowing Scott Brown during the sevco v Celtic game, but gives a penalty and booking against Brad Mckay in our match, absolutely atrocious. So, that's the season done and dusted, my new season ticket bought, and I'm looking forward to next term already, a glutton for punishment or diehard supporter?
  15. Or we could enter the park to the music - Bark at the moon by the Howden Howlers?
  16. It just reinforces the financial differences between us and united. They came up yesterday, stayed in a hotel in inverness and had a relaxing build up to the game, and are staying there again tonight, while we will travel down by coach on the same day as the match, and travel back after the match. I hope we play on our underdog tag, keep 11 on the park, and defy the odds and reach the playoff final.
  17. I thought we were the better team throughout, and united seemed to lack ideas of how to break us down. That's the second time Nick Walsh has spoiled a game for us, he sent Trafford off against county and now polworth, it was never a red. The standard and inconsistency of the officials in this country is shocking. I hope it's a different ref on friday or we may be F**ked.
  18. What a wonderful magnanimous suggestion from you, to keep the Jaggies name alive. That Is truly splendid of you sir, well played. It's a yes from me.
  19. I didn't google it, I know my Scottish geography, and I will leave you with your delusion. My studies have been over for more than 40 years, and geography was one of the subjects that I excelled in, especially in Scotlands shires. There were 33 shires in Scotland, so by your logic, if Fort William wasn't in inverness shire, what shire do you think it was in?. The regions have now changed names, Highland for instance, but Inverness shire was the second biggest shire in Britain, after Yorkshire and stretched from inverness to fort william. But a person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still.
  20. That might be a bit more difficult logistically, and expensive for the players and the club to get there, Instead of just going down the A82.
  21. I think you may have to swot up on your geography. Fort William is the second largest settlement in inverness shire after Inverness, followed by Fort Augustus and Portree. I have been to Claggan Park on many an occasion, to watch inverness Thistle play, and I can confirm that it is definitely in Fort William, which is in Inverness shire. If you google it, I think you will find that I am correct.
  22. I think you may have to swot up on your geography. Fort William Is the second larg
  23. As far as I know, Fort William still play at Claggan Park, which Is In Fort William, which I
  24. Why do we not try and do a deal with Fort William. They are in Inverness shire, and are always looking for good players. Our youngsters could be just the shot in the arm that they are looking for, and give our boys a good introduction into the mens game.
