  1. Surely now Oakley will be given as much of a chance for a starting place as Baird has had. His goals per game ratio is far better than Bairds.
  2. Seasons greetings to all who post and let's hope for a great 2018.
  3. That's another kitten dead then!
  4. That is what you call a hard fought 3 points. We played some good football in the first half but our final ball was woeful, the second half was so disjointed and we were beginning to panic towards the end. For me, Donaldson, Tremarco, Trafford and Raven were the stand outs . Baird needs to be benched in the next game, and after I had thought that Polworth had turned a corner with his attitude, he turns in his worst performance of the season.
  5. I did indeed, 100,000 apologies, that was Mr Bannerman's book, it was of course Going Ballistic! That will teach me not to post late at night when I'm half asleep!
  6. I was also a fan of Williams, a very versatile player who did seem to go backwards at Dundee, in fact, all three of our players that Hartley took there, Williams, Ross and Vincent, never really set the heather on fire, with two now left and the other not in the squad.
  7. I was compiling a couple of booklets for myself and my brother regarding the Jags title winning years in the 70's, and asked an official of the club on a number of occasions if he could help with some information, which he said he would, but never did, so maybe they have locked all the history away, never to be found. I eventually got in touch with Ian Broadfoot, who very kindly supplied me with some facts and figures, from which I used to research the information from old Highland News and Couriers and compiled the books. Ian also sent me a signed copy of his book, Against The Odds, a very interesting read.
  8. Just saw it on Facebook. Fantastic news. He has been our most consistent performer over the last few seasons.
  9. I take it that James Vincent is still with Dundee, he doesn't seem to be getting much game time, or maybe he is injured? I thought that Ross and Williams would maybe end up at Falkirk with Hartley, as he was the one that signed them for Dundee, but their finances are probably as bad as ours.
  10. He is far more versatile than a lot of our new recruits, but he would have to take a hell of a drop in wages to come back . I certainly think he would be a good addition but he may look to go back south for the money.
  11. Great news about Donaldson. We needed some stability at the back and he has supplied it. There are some players who excel at certain clubs, and maybe he has found his. Let's hope that more step up to the plate when they see that contracts are there for good displays.

    New Striker

    I agree with you. I thought he played well against us and said at the time to my son that he might be worth a punt. He held the ball up well and could brush off a challenge.
  13. I totally agree. I have been watching football in Inverness for nearly 50 years and I have never sat through weather like we did at the St. Mirren game. We had so many layers on and it still wasn't enough, so we contemplating our clothing for tomorrow just when we heard the game was off. Let's hope it's better for Tuesday.
  14. So sad to see Raven go, but this was inevitable since the season ticket holders meeting with the chairman and Robbo, when it was announced that he would be moving the high earners on. Raven has been a constantly top performer for the club over the previous season and this one being no different. I hope he gets a good send off and manages to get a good deal somewhere else, as long as it's not with one of our rivals! All the best David and thanks for the memories.
  15. A very good three points, I just felt we missed the opportunity to get more goals, we took our foot off the gas a little in the second half . Mulraney was good in the first half but faded in the second. Glad Baird got a goal and you could see by the way the whole team celebrated it that there is a good team spirit in the group.
  16. That was a refereeing performance that beggars belief . He is the worst I have seen in quite some time. The number of times Bell got taken from behind was unbelievable and most of the tackles he waved on, but would blow for a foul for them when it was a 50 50 tackle. We were by far the better side in the first half, but, just as we have done in so many matches, we can't score when we are on top. The two small strikers up front just doesn't work, we need some muscle in there to win the balls. I said to my son that I could see a sending off in the game but I thought it would be their number 4, who got away with murder after he had already been booked. The conditions were horrendous, probably the worst I have experienced at the stadium, and the ball started to get held up with the surface water. We mustn't let the heads go down, and go for the three points against Brechin and get the momentum going again.
  17. Well done Robbo and Carl. The defence has been tightened up considerably and maybe it's no coincidence that this started with the return of Raven and Tremarco. Now all we need to do is start taking more of the chances we are creating and score some more goals.
  18. Great to see Doran playing and scoring again. It's something I wondered if we would ever see him in an ICT shirt again. I'm sure the club will take his progress now slowly and surely, so there is no relapse. It will be like having a marquee signing if we can get him back to the form he showed before.
  19. I think this result, and the previous clean sheets, will now show the teams in this league that we aren't going to be an easy touch, and hopefully now they will start to look at their fixtures against us and know that they are in for a fight. I think now that Livingston will show us a lot more respect than they would have done a few weeks ago.
  20. A great 3 points and another good performance and clean sheet. Before we played the last 3 games I didn't think we would get any points and we ended up with 7 from 9, a great return. Conner Bell must be the find of the season. Robbo has found a formation and turned things around and we are starting to climb the league. Well done Robbo and the team.
  21. Well done ICT. Scoring goals and keeping clean sheets is the way to get points .
  22. Best days of my life. Sad that they had to come to an end.
  23. I watched them late 60's till the end. Never got to the Corrie much as I always had my son with me. Halcyon days.
  24. As I have said before, I have been watching football in Inverness for 50 years, firstly with Inverness Thistle and now with ICT, and I cannot remember a time when I have been more demoralised watching the game I love. Even when the Kingsmills Jags were at their lowest point did I feel the way I feel going to games now. This season I thought we would give it a good go, I thought that although we had lost a lot of talent, we might have some fighting performances but not necessarily win all our games. Now, after a few games you can't see where our wins are going to come from. Even on Saturday, before the game, I thought it was a game we could have lost. What a turnaround in barely a year ago when we were taking points off Celtic, to hoping we could beat a league 2 team! I think that the falling attendances are par for the course for the ICT support, if the club can't significantly increase its fan base after winning the Scottish Cup and playing in Europe, then they are going to drift away after relegation and a very poor start in the championship. If the club can string a few wins together the attendance might increase, but I fear if things continue we will be left with just the hard core fans, and with reading some posts on here, even they are being tested.
  25. These things happen in work situations. Many years ago, I had an altercation with a guy at work that ended up with me pinning him against a wall. After it was over we both went back to our jobs and I drove him home after our shift. As I said, these things happen in work situations and have probably been resolved by both parties by now. The unfortunate thing is that it was done publicly and therefore can't be brushed under the carpet.
