I'd say they did!

I knew you'd respond to that... B) And I knew you'd respond to any post that may bring TB into question. Trouble is John, your starting to sound like a record with a scratch on it. Repeating the same thing over and over till it becomes annoying. And I'm not the only one, Alex... True. There's about three with the same scratch.

I could go with that one

I don't actually think its right but it sounds good. Attila was a hun..........don't know if he was a Rangers fan though. He did, however hate the romans.

TB might not realise Tokely is suspended for this one. He's had other, possibly more important duties to attend to this week.... That he attended on wednesday night and that didn't affect anything because the team had the day off on thursday. A day off they were entitled to having worked for seven days previous.

Why won't it be? Weather tomorrow for Inverness is light rain and winds of 20 mph. That wont stop the game being played.

But it's implied grannyism. Otherwise we could sing "the legs on your dog go around and around..." Or "Earwigs, frogs and cheese" probably a popular delicasy somewhere in the world.

I don't see him playing down our chances. All he's stated is fact. County have beat us at home already this season so on paper they are favourites and we are the underdogs.

Was it a Diddy Cup at MacDiarmid Park in 2003? Yes of course it was . Diddy cup for the diddy teams . Don't think Bobby Mann would have agreed with that as he held the trophy above his head on 26th October 2003. Incidently, we beat County in the QF back then. http://www.ictfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Club...~893004,00.html

For those too young to remember, like davie, Zulu was a 1964 film with Micheal Caine and a few others.

Tis only the tune I'm using John, not the granny

Things must really be at world pandemic proportions six years on. Those stalwarts of the old Black Isle Banter Brigade, the Jailender and Staggy4Life are even staying away.

So our new chant should be: Tune: Cannae shove yir granny: You cannae hae a laugh at the match Oh you cannae hae a laugh at the match You cannae hae a laugh cos the laughter cops aboot You cannae hae a laugh at the match (or yir oot)

I prefer this one from the same source http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gudgie%20coff ://http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...dgie%20coff

In the Cant dictionary it's Gadgie and it generally means a non romany male person. Likely both are the same word with a regional spelling.

For all who can't work it out the tune is Molly Malone: In Ross-shire's big town where the gadgies are stinky I first set my eye on the Dingwall brigade They drink litres of Buckie. With their aunties get kinky Only wash on a tuesday when the giro gets paid When the giro gets paid, the giro gets paid Only wash on a tuesday when the giro gets paid.

You are a Gadgie. A Dingwall Gadgie You're only happy on Giro day Your Ma's a stealer. Your Da's a dealer Please dont take my hubcaps away

Yep! They've settled because of the persecution when they travel.

Is he feb8th wee brother?

Will he be signing it or singing it Steve?

DU fans became known as arabs after the team was forced to lay tonnes of sand on the pitch to combat the winter weather after the thirteenth postponement of a cup tie. At no time does opposition fans infer that DU fans live like the race of peoples from the middle east. That race are good honest clean living people who'd cut of your hand if you steal. Unlike DU fans I believe the word hun has reference to the followers of the house of hanover. A royal household thats slowly dying out. Whether using either is racist I dont know.

Gordy, using the word Gypsy or Traveller or, indeed, Gypsy Traveller to describe that race of people is not racist. Saying that Dingwall folk, because they don't wash or keep to the right side of the law, are likened to Gypsies is to say that Gypsies dont wash or keep to the right side of the law and thats where it all becomes racist. It is racist to infer that Gypsies are like Dingwall folk. We could, however, use a word from the Cant language to describe Dingwall folk that would not be deemed racist: Gadgie (derived from Romany for non-Roma) is a word meaning "man" or "person" in the town of Berwick-on-Tweed and can also be found in Geordie English and other dialects of Northern English. In Dundee and Edinburgh it has more recently been adopted as a derogatory term applied to certain people with the stereotypical view of a "Gadgie" as someone, of any race or background who is poorly educated and engages in hooliganism, petty criminality or loutish behaviour, although the phrase is used to cover people who may be law abiding and good natured, who nonetheless are scruffy in appearance and lack good communication skills. They are often assumed to be unemployed or working in low paid and short term jobs. Although the term is most commonly used to describe youths or people roughly under the age of 30 it is also sometimes said of people of other ages that fit the stereotype. Indeed, the people who were the target for the phrase when the term first came into common use as a derogatory term in the late 1970s and early 1980s are likely to be well into middle age as of 2006. The term has somewhat replaced the older ?keelie? or ?keeley?, which was used in the 1940s until the 1970s in Dundee as a word to refer to the stereotypical underclass. Although Keelie perhaps focused less on the criminality and character of the person and had more connotations relating to their supposed Irish, Highland or rural cultural background.

Has it crossed anyones mind that the complainants may actually be Gypsy Travellers? If it were them they are bound to be offended are they not? They're are many Travellers settled in Inverness and I'm sure some of them even support ICT. There are many who see it as banter to refer to RC supporters as Gypsies and who get a laugh out of inferring that Gypsies are dirty or lawbreakers or, indeed, live in caravans and some of those claim not to be racist but the very inference in itself is racist. Don't get me wrong here. I've made my caravan jokes etc, just like everyone else, and I see it as no more than banter but when the big arm of the law threatens action then its time to change. This was never a problem in our previous times in the same league as County because the recognition of Race for Travellers did not exist. It does now and if one person is offended then the club have to be seen to act.

I ask............what did the Gypsy Traveller community do that was so bad as to them being likened to Ross County fans anyway? If you've ever had any involvement with the true Gypsy you'd know that their standards of decency and cleanliness are far superior to that of the Dingwall dweller.
