Gringo

:015: :015:

Oi Gringow... oi can remember being up the Oltend at the semi foinal... who was it the Baggies beat again?  :016:

Touchee.... :004:

Too darn right Laura...everyone's leaving me...  :019: :019:

Well, here's a sign that I'm getting old. My youngest child has flown the nest and has landed in the fair city of Inverness. He is starting a new life in the Highland capital having secured a job at a city hotel.

All the very best Jnr in your new career and new 'life' in the Highlands.

Aye you're right there, who'd have thought St Mirren would have won their first two games of the season or the Pars picking up a point against the 'mighty' Rangers. Looks like it could be an interesting contest for once and fully agree we need get more points on the board. I believe we have the players to do just that.

can remember when the Baggies won the FA Cup...  :004:

ICT will weather the storm - I'm confident we can take more than two points from the next two matches. There's not team in the SPL that we should, currently, be scared of.

I'm afraid the whole afair will all revolve around the beloved OF. The only reason the SPL was concocted in the first place was to, more or less, guarentee FOUR OF Derbies per season and give them both a financial boost. There is no way on this earth that they'll discontinue that set up. I fear very much for the wee clubs in the SFL 2 / 3 who will, I'm sure, fall by the wayside if the SPL1 / 2 set up ever comes about and Scotland will loose these clubs for ever. I also doubt whether a regional set up in the lower leagues will work either - lets face they're not really a million miles away from each now are they. How could the likes of Stranraer and Berwick, say, be regionalised?

I believe these proposals are in the interests of screwing more money out of the supporters and into the grubby hands of the SPL who really don't give a Yompa sweaty sock about Scottich football whatsoever.

Pommes Frites

A good opportunity to progress.

*cough* Partick!

*cough* Ayr!

*cough* Queens Park!

:016:

Hope we give Dumbarton the same kind of respect as we gave Golspie last night.  :006:

Germans

I can't see this wee competition lasting much longer without a sponsor. It never attracted big crowds but there were some poor attendances last night:

Partick - 1208

Q of the S - 1389

St J - 1261

Quite a strong team then according to that - poor ol' Golspie eh!  :015:

PA system?? What PA system???....  ??? ???

Not seen the new version yet so can't pass comment. No doubt we're still on last and get a paltry 2 minutes or so. Come to think of it - I don't think I'll bother at all this season.....just can't be ersed to sit through all that OF dross.

Inverness Curry report:-

During our wee break in the Highlands we managed to get to a couple of differant curry houses...

Rhajdhani - Acadamy Street:

Despite them cocking up the table booking for 13 it all worked out well in the end but we had to wait an hour for the grub (caused by the table booking etc) but its the food thats important. I'm pleased to say that the food was excellent and I can recommend this place to others. I understand its only been open for about six weeks so it could get better (or worse) with age. Worth a try.

Cinnamon - Milburn Rd (opposite Morrisons / New Eastgate Centre etc): Went for their Sunday buffet - £8.95 as much as you can eat. Food was excellent - especially the Beef Bunha and Chicken Tikka Mossala. Definately worth a visit. Or check it out at http://www.cinnamon-inverness.com/

Who were the last team to put 5 goals past Gretna?  :004:

Although I can't imagine that our goals were anywhere near the calibre of Derry's.

All ICT goals are crackers....  :001: I was there for that game - its like a home match for me  :015: :015: :004:

Caledonian MacBrayne  :001:

... would you rather have Eddie Thomson ??

Over my dead body....wouldn't want Romanov either (or any equalivent!).

I'm still going to sit on the fence though and see what happens over the next few months. I'm sure Mr Savage will be an excellent chairman for ICT and will follow in the footsteps of previous occupiers of the seat and have ICT's best interests at heart. Here's hoping anyway.

Fair point CD. ICT have done wonders so far with an, almost, 100% Scots squad and I'd personally hate to see the end of that. I just wouldn't like to see ICT go down the Hearts road if you see what I mean.

Also, could the 'thought' of introducing foreigners upset the current, excellent, team spirit?

I'm off to sit on the fence now and watch things from there for a while.. :004:

Maimie - sounds like you were fortunate to have a good gig. According to repors on Kerrang radio there are quite a few folk out there who thought they were pish. Axl's antices don't help and they're very often late turning up or not at all.

saw within temptation supporting iron maiden in paris last year they were pretty good

Within Temptation...now there's a band I could grow to like very much. Sharon den Adel surely has the best female vocals of all time, total quality. She looks pretty good too...  :004:

oh my!!!

if all else fails sweeti..... i'll russsssssle you up a wee tastie something!  :004: :015:

Nothing too hot I hope.....kinda burns the tongue you know....  :001: :017:

Gringo - just told the missus and she is indeed distraught ..... your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a worthy replacement before we arrive  :015: :015: :015:

Mission accepted....I have two weeks to report back. This is gonna be one 'ell of tough mission...  :015: :001: :004:

Devasting news - my fav' restaurant goes up in smoke.  :019: :019:  Gonna have to find another home for the next two weeks now.... :019:  Anyone tried the new one in Acadamy Street...erm...the Rajdhani I think its called.
