  1. ...Five... Christ on a bike, have we given the Fort other things as well as our weans?
  2. Is it too much to say I hope we thrash them like Morton?
  3. Get Auntie Wilma in to back us with her half. ?
  4. What even happened to that 10k or so that went to the finals in 2015 and then the near sell out game vs Astra? I'd say barely over a few hundred still actually go, and we've brought in some new people since, it's shocking how many we've lost. (I assume) they've all gone off to C*unty when we went down (as we still had packed stands for most games, and not relying on the away support to raise it past 2000) and they were just bandwaggoning. As they have done for most of our big milestones (this year's Scottish Cup Semis comes to mind, haven't seen most of the support since) But I think it's more down to our lateness in getting a League side here. It took a little over 100 years to get a side established, whilst Aberdeen (the "local" SFL side) had the backing of the invernesians who wanted professional league football. The only way to win these people back is pushing for promotion, then work on becoming an established Premiership side, and continuously push for a top 5 finish, and if we're feeling daring, pushing for Europe. Otherwise, we'll be stuck with a dwindling attendance...
  5. I mean, at least Elgin is a shorter distance, plus relatively cheap Rail Fare...
  6. I mean, what can you do, I doubt all these lads are full time, so they'll have part time jobs back in the Sneck, and their ICT wages are probably only a few hundred a week. So, I see it's only fair (at their age anyway, as they're pretty much still kids) that it's down to mum and dad as to whether they can go or not, only other solution is for ICT to fund accommodation for while they're there, which I doubt will happen due to our financial status...plus the fact it's getting darker sooner and it's a 60 odd mile drive which even at the best of times is pretty bad, it's going to go wrong sooner or later as they'll be going out at whatever o'clock in the morning and then trying to get back the same night, then they'll be out again however many days later for training. It's a back and forth cycle that will wear them out constantly, they'll be tired after the match or training, and on such a boring seemingly endless road, it's not going to end well, especially at night...
  7. Sod knows where I heard it, but apparently Alan Savage is making a return as a shareholder...
  8. Will this be a regular for Away Days?
  9. Right, didn't have a clue where to dump this topic. But where do our fans get the custom flags we sometimes have at the cup games, where they get tied to the fencing of the stand. Can't find a site that's decent to make custom flags...
  10. Caleyboy forgetting the benifits a loan to the Highland League can do to a player? Look at Graeme Shinnie. Went out to Forres pretty much as soon as he left the youth ranks, now look where he is, moved to a club that is highly favoured to go up to the Premier League and has 5 Scotland Caps under his belt. I highly doubt, had he not gone on loan, he'd be bored out of his mind with no game time, and end up not being probably one of our best (if not the best) academy product... Early loans are the best time to challenge players and make themselves ready for the jump into big boy football, otherwise, if it goes wrong, they could fail miserably and then the player is stuck going nowhere for the rest of his career...
  11. Was meaning Prince George. I know about British Colombia ?
  12. According to his Wikipedia page he was born in Prince George, BC (sod knows where that is), then lived in Vancouver before moving to Middlesbrough then heading to Inverness where he went to Millburn...apparently his parents were English, but IIRC, you can play for a country through the birth place of you, your parents or your grandparents...
  13. Great assist from Danny Devine. Never thought he'd be beneficial to us after he left...
  14. More than enough, but probably not to fill every exact position...
  15. Surprised Machado isn't in despite how well he played last week...
  16. Scenes when he gets signed by Man City and we become richer than Uncle Roy F.C. could ever dream of
  17. Just remembered that they came through a fairly decent Pars side, where as we came through a Morton side that we wiped the floor with the previous week. I revoke my prior statement of it being an easy draw, and bump it up to a "not too easy, not too hard" draw. Really depends on the outcome of the week before and not letting the players get ahead of themselves. We shouldn't be taking them lightly...as we all know, shocks happen *cough* Elgin *cough cough* Arbroath...
  18. Waterford Away, see how much Zak has progressed since leaving us.
  19. Class game. Machado did rather well considering it was his first Actual game for the club, however, though he did throw off his markers multiple times, his crosses went a touch too high, can definitely see him either in the line-up or on the bench away to Dunfermline. I did say I wasn't expecting us to haul in another 5-0 win, but they learned from Saturday's mistake and bolstered their defence and started their other new keeper, who has likely confirmed his place in the lineups. The Attack was decent, Miles Storey and the lot of them mugging off their markers (even though nothing came of quite a lot of them), the midfield was meh, they did their job and the defence was the same. But, we really took a gamble in playing Cammy in nets, he wasn't exactly the best on the field on Tuesday night, but after the performance yesterday, though I still wouldn't constantly rely on him (Rather have Ridgers), I know he's alright as a backup. Realistically from here on out, (assuming if Elgin beat Dundee this afternoon) the only team we really need to be wary of is Wrexham...and maybe Partick...
