SORRY about the late posting on this update. Lost the will last night after 7 attempts to post and again this morning... NPL Review for Game 43 Kind of getting used to this winning lark. Here’s hoping this can continue. Loving it. No maximums in any section for this game. caleycalum got the Crowd Section bonus – 8 under. old caley girl has found form again and relieves some pressure at the top of the table.

Just a heads up folks...our Hamilton away fixture that was scheduled for the SFA Cup Semi Final weekend has been rearranged for Tue 18 Apr. This fixture can be found in Week 35 of the fixture list.

Hope not of course but if we get a needless sending off when 2 up it would seem likely.

A good friend of mine has seen them twice.

Looks like an evening on Spotify checking these two out. Tide Lines are new to me.

I've seen Arbroath a couple times recently on council telly, they're a solid side despite their lowly position. A tough test for ICT to break them down. We're not the most free scoring side in the league so I'm hoping our recent good form will see us grab the 3 points.

NPL Review for Game 42 I’m beginning to believe again...great result and are hopes are still alive. No maximums in this game. Doofer got the only the points in the Correct Score section [HT] SOS got the only points in the First Scoerer section. crownjaggie and Doofer got the Crowd Section bonus points – just 2 over. old caley girl is clinging to top spot but the gap is getting shorter.

That was a poor game at Plastic in the first half. Two quality team goals in the second set up the Plastic for the three points. Spiders offered nothing in return. With the match entering the last ten minutes I switched off...and missed two goals . Plastic are certainly knocking in some goals just now and are looking good. Anyway..enough about them. As mentioned, three points is crucial for us today. It's also true to say we shouldn't be relying on others but, in our self made situation, we have too. The chance is still there hanging by a thread so lets grab hold of it and do this.

Mrs Gringo Hamilton v Cove draw @3.30 Gringo Falkirk v Pars draw @3.30

Saturday is crucial. Drop points and it's all over.

Regardless as to whether the club name is 'available' or not I find it totally respectful to our clubs history.Shame on Rossvale FC. I also get the Caledonian bit and makes more sense to rename their team Caledonian Locomotive.

It was Caledonian F.C when I first started following the team. This was in the later stages of their Highland League and club existence. I never had that solid 'my club' feeling as I wasn't brought up with the team. I never really wanted the merger to happen but would Caley or Thistle have got into the SFL on their own back then? You only have to look over the bridge for that answer. My following of the team started in 78 but I never got to see them and become a paying supporter until some ten years later. The club of today have given me so many good times (and bad) over the years that I now feel it was all worthwhile. Would Caley or Thistle have made it to the SPL (A league I hate) or win a major trophy? I have my doubts.

NPL Review for Game 41 A fantastic and much needed three points. Nice one. We’re going to win the league... CaleyCanary and Gringo grab maximum points in the Correct Scores section. DoofersDad got the only correct ICT First Scorer. CND Girl got the Crowd Section bonus – 25 under. old caley girl is still top of the pile.

Really need a great performance today and grab the three points. My heart says yes we will, my brain is still full of doubt though. Imrie seems to know how to play against Caley and can motivate his side better than Doddsy. We've not beaten them in three attempts this season taking only one point from nine. Now would be a good time to put that right. Agg score is currently 7-2 to them so a 5-0 win should level things up for the season

I think I'd get rather fed up in these parts explaining what ICTST stands for....so..for that reason, I'm out. Good luck with the sales though.

I caught the game (late in 1st half...missed the goal) on BBC Alba. For whatever reason the TV screen / live feed was going all pixelated and eventually failed. I was then forced to watch the England game for my football fix.

Sad news indeed. Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
