NPL Review for Game 2 Yet again the luck is against us as we hit the woodwork for the second week running. Looks like we?re really going for promotion to the SFL this season. No maximums anywhere in yet another disappointed round of the NPL. The disappointing Crowd also scuppered a few points. Breeze was denied a maximum in the Correct Scores section by that late strike. Gringo heads the leaderboard by a single point.

Sounds like we're disjointed. Esson has saved us a couple of times.

Sorry I can't do all that nice linky stuff...here's the team news anyway. Inverness CT vs Hibernian Inverness CT: Esson, Gillet, Tokely, Aldred, Piermayr, Tudur Jones, Ross, Tansey, Hayes, Foran, Tade Subs: Tuffey, Andrew Shinnie, Proctor, Morrison, Shane Sutherland, Graeme Shinnie, Doran Hibernian: Stack, Stephens, Hanlon, Booth, Murray, Palsson, Stevenson, Sproule, Thornhill, Wotherspoon, O'Connor Subs: Brown, Hart, De Graaf, Galbraith, Horner, Crawford, Caldwell Referee: Steve Conroy (Scotland)

I've had many great times in the Innes. Even after a heavy defeat I've come out of there with a smile on my face. Best wishes to Colin from all the Gringo clan and we hope you have a very relaxing and healthy retirement. I am looking forward to the new era in the Innes and hope that new management team continue the good work done by Colin.

Hi Oz, sorry pal, all corrected. Had a dodgy keyboard (And I tried very hard not to make any mistakes this season...good start eh! )

I thought we started rather well but then Motherwell found their stride and started to boss the game. Their first goal had a touch of good fortune but they could have been ahead several times prior to that. The defence was very shacky and Proctor had a poor game and was responsible for the first goal and possibly the second. Their third was a peach but we had the chance to clear well before the ball reached Lasley. We did play some neat stuff at times but there was no cutting edge up front. We seemed to make pretty patterns on the edge of the box but Randolph was never really troubled that much and could really have stayed on the beach. The new boys will settle in time. Tansey and Tade would be my pick of the newcomers on this showing. Tade was making some great runs and seemed to have fun turning on the defence with his back to goal. He will score goals when he finds his shooting boots. The stats showed we had 11 strikes on goal..9 of these were off target. We hit the woodwork twice and Randolph made a point blank save which he knew little about so it is clear we can create chances. Yes, a 3-0 defeat is a bad start but I'm sure things will improve in time. Lets hope we have enough of that.

NPL Review for Game 01 I convey a very warm welcome to the NPL to all those that have joined the NPL for the first time. I hope the first game of the season hasn’t put you off playing. I also convey a warm welcome to my regular customers and those that have returned after a short absence. Also, many thanks to all those that posted their predictions in the required format. It really does help me to prevent errors when transferring your predictions to the Spreadsheet. Game 01 wasn’t the best of starts to the season for ICT or the NPL punters. There wasn’t a single correct score in any of the 69 entries. Maybe we all need pre-season friendlies too. Gringo and ICTPAISLEY start the season in pole position.

The new season kicks off today so lets show the SPL that we can behave ourselves on the away trips. No winding up of the Stewards and getting thrown out is allowed this season. Please - behave for the benefit of others and the club.

6th August

Who's up the battle of wits again? Same rules apply, which were something like this:- - Everybody starts with 200 points - Everybody must select one team to place their 10 point wager on from the SFL each week using the posted coupon, with all bets being settled as they would be in the bookies (ie. lose -10 points win +whatever your profit would've been) - All bets must be posted before the advertised k.o time. - Failure to pick a team would result in a loss of 10 points. However you may pick your side before the odds are posted if you know in advance you wont be able to get on the website. - During the winter, postponed selections would result in a return of your 10 point stake, however you are allowed to change your selection as long as you do so pre the deadline. - In the event of there being less than 6 games going ahead in a single round of games, all bets would be void and points refunded. That's it really. No prizes unless someone comes up with something.

I wish.

Just done the pay pal doodah...two shares please. Mrs Gringo and little ol' me.

Within Temptation - The Unforgiving...the whole album rocks and as for Sharon Den Adel's vocals...she rocks too. My ears bleed.

Of course dear... 09:20 from Brum (1054ish at Preston)

Great work again guys, thanks for the updates, it is much appreciated.

Good luck Adam, thanks for the goals and the memories. I may be forced to visit the Blues one day wearing my ICT shirt.

Looking back as far as 2001/02 we've had 3 draws at Huntly, a draw at Lossiemouth but there was a defeat. That was on 23 July 2002 when we lost 2-0 at Lossie. Not sure what team was on the park mind but a defeat is a defeat.

Thank you for your efforts all the same. It is appreciated.

I've been thinking about this for a while and have decided to go for it. From this season I have introduced a Joker system to freshen up the competition a bit. These Jokers will allow you the chance to DOUBLE your points tally of your chosen games. At the end of the season the final standings will dictate your Joker entitlement for the following season. NPL Champion - 3 Jokers NPL 'Euro' positions - 2 Jokers NPL other/new entrants - 1 Joker Please read the Rules and Instruction thread for details on how to play your Joker. Joker
