  1. Just to echo the words of Joonya, Dave and Kay made us so welcome to the Caley family. I remember the time we first met in the Caley Inn. Neither of them could believe we travelled up from Coventry to watch Caley (they were not alone in these thoughts by the way). We'd never met them before and they instantly offered us a bed at their place to save on B&B for our next trip. So many good memories that we will treasure forever. Sadly not too many photos but those I do have are the highly treasured shots from our title winning day in 2004. When we first met they lived in Ardgay. Mrs Gringo and I stay with them many years later. We travelled with them to a game in Dunfermline leaving Ardgay around 1000 and getting home via the Innes and take away around 12 hours later. We won 1-0 too - Liam Fox goal. Uncle Albert, we will never forget you. We send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to all his family and friends.
  2. The problem these days is folk are so easily offended by the slightest thing. They were never brought up in a world of Tom & Jerry, Roadrunner or Fog Horn Leg Horn. Poor wee mites bless um.
  3. Slim and none if I plan to go
  4. I've got Strathspey Thistle (away) on 21st June too but maybe not the first team squad.
  5. Two shite teams competing for a place in a shite league.
  6. He sure does a fantastic job which is appreciated throughout CTO. For years he has been asking for assistance with the match day previews and reports but there's been nobody coming forward. Well done @tm4tj for keeping going.
  7. So sad to hear this and so young too. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
  8. I don't think I've ever been so nervous before a football match....and I won't even be there. Hopefully this group of lads will be fired up for this one. I sincerely hope the home support put in an away performance and get right behind these lads. Support, NOT booing, is all important today. I was sorry to hear of the passing of Wayne and send sincere condolences to his family and friends. Big Stew gave us so many happy times when we were up for a game. Such a great guy who is sadly missed. The memories will never die. Come on ICT.
  9. And some silly idiots walked all the way back to Inverness after the match...#HighlandMarch
  10. Never liked him and probably never will. I'll save electric and not bother listening.
  11. I was at the cup game back in December. We played really well I felt and was only defeated by a ref who didn't want extra time. Hopefully our young lads will have taken lessons from last week and grab at least a point.
  12. Considering how abysmal I've been a predicting results this season [as seen in the NAPS Competition on the Betting Forum] I'm not even going attempt this. Having said that, over the last six games our away form [W4 D0 L2 Pts12] had been slightly better than our home form [W3 D2 L1 Pts 11]. It'll be tough just now with injuries and suspension. Add to that the current difficulties of putting the ball in the net it's going to be a tough call. I'm with Scotty...I'll settle for 8th. Hoping to make the Montrose away game but depends on events this end.
  13. It's going to a tough ask that has been made more difficult by the absentees. I'm sure the lads will be up the challenge(s) ahead. They'll need to be up for it today against the Wasps and I wish them all the best. Shoot on site and don't make silly mistakes. Hope the young lad in goal is up for it - a big opportunity for him I feel.
  14. The rate retail stores are closing or moving out of the city we could go back to Telford in a couple of years.
  15. Buzzing over this fantastic result. Does anyone else think Stenny were complacent in their approach to this game by dropped both their top strikers? Maybe they were carrying knocks....but...I really don't care. Well done boys and Sir Scott. It'll take a fair effort to get these boys off cloud 9 before Saturday.
  16. Considering we have no money, that's some risk.
  17. My team of youth was Birmingham City but haven't been for a good while, in fact, the last game was Blues v Caley in a pre season friendly so don't rule out a Caley v Vale game one day. They dubbed it the Shinnie derby as Andy Shinnie was playing for Bham and Grahame for Caley. Both are (were) ICT superstars back in the day. To be honest atmosphere at Caley stadium isn't the best but the North Stand is the place to be. There seems to be a lot more singing at away games which are well worth a date in your diary.
  18. Beware James, I happened across Caledonian FC back in 1978 and have been hooked ever since. I've been to over 200 games. Doesn't sound a lot but when you live in Coventry (formerly known as Coventry Nil) it's quite an effort. The natives are extremely friendly so I doubt you will have any problems talking to other supporters. The club is getting back on it's feet again and is reconnecting with supporters after a torrid five year period under a useless CEO etc. I've not had the pleasure of visiting Bar 94 yet but I understand it is very popular. The bar was brought to life by excellent volunteers and is also run by volunteers. As for the area, you'll be fairly restricted without wheels to visit the nooks and crannies. You say your travelling by rail so, I recommend a ride out on the Kyle of Lochalsh line. Enjoy your trip...oh...and welcome to the forum.
  19. Well said @Scotty IMHO he should never have been appointed in the first place. His shocking record at ICT should definitely be on his record / CV. As for his lad, I never saw him play, but maybe he'll find in feet in Wales. Not doubt we'll soon find out. His scoring record doesn't set the world on fire that's for sure.
  20. I'm getting worried that nobody wants to buy us. Hoping for a miracle in the next few weeks.
  21. It's certainly a sore one to take, even more so when Brooks was subbed and his replacement scored the winner. Still a long way to go. We can do this but those injuries sound worrying.
  22. Yes, Caley legend. I really thought he'd do ok there. Not to be it would seem.
  23. Cricky, 35 years, wow! The tie in Airdrie was my first ever time of watching Caledonian F.C. We were so unlucky not to win the game at the first attempt. If I remember correctly we fell behind and, I think, a goal down at HT. Second half saw Caley go for it. We were 2-1 up until around the 96th minute. We were robbed. Great introduction though to my Caley supporting days. I couldn't make the replay unfortunately.
  24. Happy New Year to you all. May it be healthy and prosperous. Super Caley unbeaten so far in 2025. Lets hope that continues.
  25. We all have a bad day at work sometimes and footballers are no exception. Maybe they had too much turkey and whisky but, then again, maybe the Cove players did the same but drank single malt instead of a blended whisky...it makes a difference you know. It's a set back for sure and bad result especially in front of a large(!?) festive crowd. I just hope those extra 300+ that turned up for the game are not put off and will return to help the lads turn this poor result around against Dumbarton.
