Not the only mistake in the player profiles. Ritchie Hart is down as English but this site has him born in Raigmore.

The backside in question was an offensive one though, Mairi. It didn't have an IHE tattoo on it :003: :003:

On sale from 9 am friday. Best be very quick though as I'd imagine they'll go fast.

Think the great immortal's away on holiday just now. He usually does a few weeks of palm reading and crystal ball reading in foriegn climes about this time of year.

I can assure you that the Yompa formerly known as ITN senior is alive and well and still posting from time to time. Junior on the other hand probably has too much education to cram into his young head. Dont know whats become of the Coia's though, unless they have also changed identity.

Personally I think it can only be good for Highland football if RC have some success over any lowland or central belt team and I congratulate them on that. It seems to me however, and this is only my opinion, that the anti gretna camp are just jealous that Gretna have a sugar daddy with loads of cash to give away in, what might be, the short time he has left on this earth.

My only real connection with Inverness is Raigmore though I was brought up in the county. I've never thought of this site, or its predecessor, as being cliquish, though some have slung such accusations. In the last few years I have met, and befriended, quite a number of ICT fans from all corners of the British Isles and a friendly, more open bunch you couldn't meet. However, the born and bred Invernessian, once he or she gets to know you, is probably the warmest, most welcoming person you'll ever meet. Outside Fort William that is. :003: As for those who may, or may not, decide that they have been offended and have chosen not to contribute further to the banter, that is their perogative. One of the problems with any forum, or e-mail or any other form of written medium is that it is very difficult to display expression and, especially if your mastery of the english language isn't 100%, it is easy to take or give the wrong meaning in something that is written and to feel that you have been insulted when the writer hadn't actually intended such. Finally, everyone is entitled to have an opinion on some subject or other and if someone else has a differing opinion he or she is no more or less entitled to express such. If I am of the opinion that the whole world should be painted black and A N Other's opinion is that it should all be white then I have no right to issue insult or slanderous comment directly at that person. Which is something that happens all to frequently within these forums.

I agree totally Scotty and thats where the authorities, i.e SPL, SFA etc. have to be seen to be acting and if that means sanctions on the relevant clubs then so be it. I would not, however, want to see the police attempt to act against a large group of perpetrators because I fear this would see a return to the days of violence. The hooligan element would use this as an excuse to goad the police into action and that would then be detrimental to the game. What I would suggest is that if the match commander reports the offending fans then the authorities act by, perhaps, removing any points gained by that team in the game and awarding the match to the opposition team. Clubs would then take note and play more than lip service to the problem.

Quote from Bonzo Quote from Bonzo Two statements from the same person, one contradicting the other, shows just why folk are not taking your comments seriously Bonzo. Now. I go along with Scotty in that I will reserve judgement until I have all the facts and figures and that will be in a season or two. In eleven years we have bettered ourselves each season bar one so I trust the Board of ICT to have made, and agreed to, the right choices for this club.

My heart, as a Scot, will be behind Celtic but my head says Man U will win 2 - 0

Calling Lennon a numpty could never be interpretated as being rascist or bigotted, nor could it be interpretated as showing a degree of abuse towards the player so there's probably little risk of being prosecuted. Call him anything that may refer to his race, colour or creed and thats a whole different ball game, and one that I would not defend. And nowadays, even referring to our neighbours across the bridge as gypo's, because the Gypsy Traveller community has won the recognition of being a race of people, could get people into serious trouble with the law no matter how innocent or funny it may seem to the individual. The whole idea is to try and stamp out the rascism and bigotry that comes from the terracings. If the song you refer to is 'Fields of Athenry' then it has been challenged and found not have anything to do with bigotry. The words don't display hatred or malice towards anyone of another race, colour or creed but is about the deportation of wrongdoers, that happened all over Britian and Ireland, at the end of the 19th century. Indeed the song has been adopted by teams in the English leagues, as well as the tune being used by Rangers fans, and is becoming as much a football song as 'Never Walk Alone'. I do agree though that songs of hatred need to be stamped out but how do you do it. If 2500 OF fans, at ICT stadium, start singing offensive songs, how should the police handle this. The risk of hostility needs to be assessed to ensure the safety of the innocent. I have no doubt that the songs of hate are mentioned in the match commanders reports, which are submitted to the relevant authorities, but like anything else it takes time for actions to come about.

At the end of the day only a sheriff can impose an FBO which means appearing in front of him or her. Only if you commit an offence are you likely to appear in front of the sheriff and if you do you have as much rights as any other citizen. i.e innocent till proven guilty. And remember, if you dont want to do the time, dont do the crime.

Could someone tell me what the basis is for the anti Gretna comments.

We've all heard the phrase, "he gave more than 100%" but what does it really mean? What makes 100% in life? Mathematical formula: Assume: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then: H A R D W O R K 8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98% and K N O W L E D G E 11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96% and A T T I T U D E 1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100% and B U L L S H I T 2 + 21 + 12 + 12 + 19 + 8 + 9 + 20 = 103% A S S K I S S I N G 1 + 19 + 19 + 11 + 9 + 19 + 19 + 9 + 14 + 7 = 118% So one can conclude, with mathematical certainty, that whilst hard work and knowledge will get you close to that 100% effort and a bit of attitude will get you there, only with bullsh1t and asskissing will you ever give more than 100%

Does anyone know whats up with Harty. He hasn't been on the teamsheets for two or three games now, including the reserves. Maybe its all my fault. Foxy didn't feature much last season after I sponsored him. This season I chose Hart :009: :009:
