Sam Winnal made three appearances and done nothing for us. I think that in the short while Winnal was with us TB selected the on form strikers. Tade and Foran. Rory McAllister is, in your words, 'a beast of a striker' 33 in 35 games last season for Peterhead. We didn't keep him either. Winnal was on loan to us with over a year remaining at Wolves. Even if we had wanted him we couldn't have paid the fee at the time.

Anglophobia is alive and kicking............................................in Mr Bannermans head only. My favourite was the black South African lassie near the end. She done that song better than many Scots professionals could. At the end of the day this ceremony, and the games, will be remembered by every nation for many years to come as the ceremony and games that welcomed each and all.

What colour are the goalie shirts? Black kit_launch_thur_001.jpg Watch out for the kickback. Those three tops combined show a lot more black than blue. And even more red than white.

Is it dearer? I thought the last one was also £45. As to your second statement I haven't noticed anyone other than you say we dont want it. Many have said what they would have preferred but I'd guess many of those will still buy this to support the club. Thirdly those people who want nothing to do with ICT. How many of them follow other pursuits and dont follow football of any kind?

I would not have expected Flower of Scotland to be used as anthem for the opening ceremony as its the Commonwealth games and, rightly so, the only anthem should be that of the head of the Commonwealth. That said, what I seen of the opening ceremony, I thought was excellent. Yes there was the tartan and shortbread bits but the main message, which was put across in a very tasteful and subtle way, showed just how this country of ours should be portrayed. A country of passion and compassion. A country that welcomes and embraces all regardless of colour, race or creed. “Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet.” And the final plea for support of Unicef was a brilliant way to show us as a benevolent country.

From Deveronvale website Deveronvale lost 3-0 to a strong ICT outfit in this evening's pre-season friendly. An own goal by Deveronvale's trialist on the stroke of half-time gave ICT the lead, and further goals from Christie and McKay completed the scoring for the visitors.

This article http://yes2014.net/2014/06/13/biggest-oil-field-in-the-world-lies-to-the-west-of-lewis/ is a bit long but I hope it backs up my earlier suggestions about west of Scotland oil and gas reserves.

Yep bears an uncanny similarity to this

If weather stays fair was thinking of biking down. Whats best we to Bordesley avoiding city centre?

And a BBQ and funfair pre match starting 12.45. Info here http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1324-billy-holiday

That would be ok till 2016 but then there wont be a union flag as we know it. Proposal after Indy

I seem to remember Cove were awaiting planning permission for stadium at Calder Park. Did they get it? I also seen recently that Aberdeen council were seeking permission to build a new academy on same ground. Banks O Dee have a nice wee ground complete with 3G pitch.

Nice to see them sticking to their policy of nurturing local talent. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28371176

We may have known the design but did we know the sponsors? I think that one of the problems with dealing with any kit supplier is the size of order. How many shirts are we likely to sell? 1000, 1500. Compare that with the figures supplied to the bigger clubs, both in UK and Europe, and we probably come in at the bottom end of the pecking order for printing. Kilmarnock haven't got there new kit yet either although they are taking orders in advance.

What an utterly ridiculous moan at the club Gordie. New strips will appear when they appear. Its no big deal whether its July or Octember but some people just want to decry the club for the pettiest of reasons.

I dont think Gow was ever lauded as a wonder kid and yes he probably knows Hughes because Hughes signed him at Falkirk. As for training facilities dont you think that maybe he'd find better closer to home than suffer the expense of coming to Inverness?

In light of wars in the middle east and planes being shot down over the Ukraine is this really such a big deal. New strips will come when they come and when that happens we can all choose to buy or not buy.

Behind the Wall?.............................................No it was the Budvar Tent. They applied to have a tent behind the south stand at Westfield but council turned them down.

I knew that

I'm not too proud to admit the info came from ICTFC.com

Pardon me for being wrong Don. Perhaps you could contact the writer of the linked article and tell him or her they are also wrong. http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/979-canadian-call-up

I believe this was the squad of 2012

He was at Exeter but loaned out to Bristol Rovers for second half of last season. Think his deal at Exeter is up now so he's a free agent. He's still only 31 so maybe could do a job for us as back up.

If the beer was on tap I'd maybe spend more time there but guinness out of a can just isnt the same.
