  1. Only thing I canm find about anyone with that name is one who came through QPR youth and there seems to be a link between them and St Pat's. The one I found plays U-19
  2. No its not AJ. A draw will suffice. There's no way Dunfermline will make up 17 goals on us with only three games to play.
  3. Personally I think this could be very good for Gavin but I dont think the Icelandic league will be beneficial beyond his loan period. I'd rather see him aim for league 1 or championship down south. Maybe Mr Brewster as an option. I believe he may have taken up the offer in Iceland to get game time in. He did suffer a serious injury and there are may benefits in Iceland to help him to full recovery. I also wonder if this is a ploy to make a bit of cash for ICT. Not just a transfer fee but any development fees due to other transfers before he's 24. Could be a bit of a money spinner for ICT if the lad does well and gets a chance with a decent team. Best of luck lad.
  4. To quote a gastrinomical delicacy One out of three aint bad.
  5. Yawwwn Let's be honest here and this is not exclusively your problem you and the rest of the happy clappers are fantasists not realists like myself I've been called a County fan, an Orc fan etc etc on numerous occasions but it's like water of a ducks back I am ICT although seriously disgruntled and I like many others will be limiting my games next season as the football served up is Pish ICT are presently not going in the right direction only a bampot would argue otherwise Dougal Dougal, you make some valid points but then you spoil them. The fantasist thinks ICT have a god given right to be in the top half of the league with a team of stars. The realist thinks we are doing very well, with our financial handicap, to still be in the league. ICT, like St Mirren, Aberdeen, Killie, Hibs, St Johnstone etc will always be fighting to stay up first and foremost. The rest will be a bonus. Thats the view of a realist.
  6. Thats the sort of response I'd expect from that part of town.
  7. The 12,000 retained tickets are not just for VIP's. They also go to players guests and hospitality.
  8. So a few Rangers fans are going to affect Vauxhall, Tesco, Mars, Carling, MacDonalds, Bank of Scotland and Willie Hills. Thats them screwd for their staple diet then.
  9. The Inverness teams v Elgin was probably a bigger rivalry than anything involving County simply because there was a decent road between Inverness and Elgin whereas a trip between Inverness and Dingwall merited a long queue at the ferry of a long journey round the Beauly Firth. I would imagine that a big proportion of the ICT fans of today to be less than 45 year old so their earliest memories of derby's are likely to be against County hence the modern day penchance that County are the biggest rivals.
  10. And there's three of them to every guy
  11. Sulphur mud baths and hot springs should do him a power of good
  12. Not aimed at anyone in particular mate.
  13. Nice to see the 'Butchers bad for not attending' brigade continue the one debate yet choose to ignore any debate on the poor turnout by many of those who claimed to support Grant and Russell but couldn't be ersed making the effort. How many of those who did turn up came across the bridge on a day ticket. For a testimonial like this one I would have expected at least double the actual turnout considering over 7300 turned out for Barry
  14. Is it not also possible that he stayed away out of respect for those two players? Personally I cant see what the big deal is one way or the other. Perhaps it would be a more apt debate if the subject was the many fans who never turned up. My own reason was that I couldn't get a heli for a few hours.
  15. Waken up man. There are 5 investors - the Inverness Courier tells us 4 are abroad and 1 in Inverness. Richard Smith is defo not the 5th member! I am awake.....thats why I ask the question. I see no reason why the person appointed by the consortium to look after their interests at board level could not also be the Inverness based member of this consortium but if you say he's not then I'll take your word for it. Maybe its Mr Sutherland
  16. Bit ironic Alex isnt it considering you and the rest of the fools from up the hill are the unwanted bit within our club Dougal Without us you'd have been nothing.............admit it........get over it.........accept the current situation......the one thats held ICT together this past 18 years.........or just feck aff somewhere else and stop annoying the rest of us.
  17. Paul MacInnes, based in Abu Dhabi; Richard Hillier, Switzerland; Graham Rae, Houston, Texas; and Alan MacPhee, Yemen Are those places not abroad? Ask yourself another question.....could the fifth member of this group actually be Richard Smith?
  18. Perhaps one was consentual and the other decided to join in
  19. So much fuss over the alleged comments of the two bit chairman of a two bit football team
  20. Car boot sales can be very profitable for the browser. A piece of jewellery bought recently at a car boot for £2 realised over £7k at auction. Not found by me i should add. As to fund raising who cares who does it or how its done. The point is County think they'll raise £400k from their twenty thousand fans. Cloud cuckoo land beckons them methinks.
  21. Olympics should be about amatuer competition like it once was. If they want a team GB football team then make it up from the best amatuer players in these isles.
  22. Seems to me there are 15000 reasons why Doncaster must listen.
  23. So many "Trusts" that it can get a bit confusing but is this not the one where Sutherland offloaded his shares? The one that Richard Smith is now joining. The strange thing in this is that this "Trust" which can be seen at http://companycheck....ompany/SC211723 is not registered as a charitable organisation but as a Building and Civil engineering Works. From ICTFC.com Four of the five members of the Muirfield Mills consortium have been appointed members of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle Trust, the charitable body which supports youth and sports initiatives in the city. They are Paul MacInnes, based in Abu Dhabi; Richard Hillier, Switzerland; Graham Rae, Houston, Texas; and Alan MacPhee, Yemen. All are from Inverness. The fifth member is not on the Trust but is also from Inverness. Their consortium which has injected an initial £250,000 to Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and now has a significant minority stake in the club. Richard Smith, newly appointed to the Football Club Board, will join former Provost Allan Sellar (chairman), MSP David Stewart and club life president David Sutherland. A Trust spokesman said: "The new members are all local people who have developed successful business careers and have a very positive contribution to make to our Club. From a Trust perspective, it is also important that we work, in conjunction with the Club, to ensure that the team continue to play at the highest level. We have been positioned in the Premier League for a number of years now, and we welcome inward investment to Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC to enable them to continue to play in the top flight”.
  24. Lets just make it a totally level playing field for all and take the decision away from the ref. If ball hits hand or arm its a foul end off. No interpretation of deliberate or not.
  25. So lets assume Livi have 800 full paying ST holders. They make this offer and double that level to 1600. They've now got 800 more fans to police at matches which means added security and added costs so, in effect, they make a loss.
