  1. Gray and Keys aren't just unpleasant individuals (based on the Neanderthal attitudes they displayed) but hopeless commentators, so it would be good for them to be replaced by people (female?) who have more interesting ideas about the game, and also know something about the rules of the game. Sky shows the football, but is the worst channel to listen to. Pub bloke bollix.
  2. Bit disappointing after the radio interview. A tame piece, nice profile of Terry, but even he checked himself just when he got going. I wonder what is it him, the Beeb or the club that decided they didn't want any more controversy? Shame, when we need someone to speak out and Terry obviously feels very strongly about it.
  3. It is normally shown 'live' on the BBC website, but is not available afterwards - usual copyright nonsense. A kind soul will have to record that segment if possible if you can't get to see it when it goes out.
  4. You beauty!!! What a comeback. Great guns.
  5. A great three points, but I can feel a twinge of sympathy for the Dons after that weekend. They had the chances, more than us, but just couldn't convert them. A draw would have been fair enough, but we got more luck than them. A lot of people shouting at the end. Will be McGhee be offered the pearl-handled revolver, or will they let him fall on his sword at Ibrox?
  6. Frantic finish - Aberdeen really want this (understandably) - we're hanging on, but could always get a break
  7. Very unlucky Rooney didn't score - nice control and shot from right of the goal. Looked goalbound but went past.
  8. I don't think he dived, there seemed to be a bit of jostling in the box. Nothing unusual, I think even he was surprised it was a pen. A bit harsh on the Dons, but Rooney slotted it beautifully considering the keeper went the right way. Aberdeen actually had the better of the play and looked much more like scoring than we did, apart from a nice chance we had at the very beginning. Esson made a great save to keep it 0-0. They don't really deserve to be behind, but such is football. I expect they will come out fighting in the second half.
  9. Well we famously saw off John Barnes. Mark McGee could be another scalp. They're feeling the pressure, I hope we can keep our away record intact.
  10. Ach, Charles for an auld sneck gudgie ye're nae bad yerself right eenuff
  11. The OP was very funny, for those with a sense of humour that is.
  12. Ha ha, excellent stuff Charles. I love to hear the real Inverness accent, which is probably on the wane now that everybody is influenced by the media and social mobility is far greater. Great memories when I hear it. Why anybody can think otherwise is one of life's great mysteries, but there has always been a dour wee free strain to some of our finest contributors! My favourite chant has always been the criminally neglected "Right enuff, right enuff, right enuff; right enuff, right enuff, right enu-u-ff: right enuff, right enuff, right enuff; right enuff.RIGHT ENUFF!" Pure dead brilliant, and one no other club can possibly claim, let alone understand! Smasheen! (Go on, look up the derivation)
  13. Well, I would wait until next saturday at 5 pm, before getting too excited. But, yes, could be handy.
  14. Anyone in touch with those at the stadium? would love to hear about the atmosphere, and what the much discussed entertainment was like. As if the team aren't providing enough as it is :D
  15. I doubt if the people who lost their jobs would agree. Thankyou for putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. As a science teacher I would have thought you would know a logical fallacy when you see, or utter, one. The question was whether the effects of relegation - despondency and gloom - were in the end 'worth' going through. Some of us found a silver lining in that cloud, using it to regain some perspective on what we expect. That does not mean we actively wanted it to happen, or took any pleasure in those whose jobs were affected by it. That is equivalent to saying that a hard winter makes one appreciate spring/summer more - you, on the other hand, would have us saying that we could care less about the old people killed by the cold (!) Enduring a hard winter doesn't mean we wished for it, or wanted it. Still, as a gentleman of the press, I guess you are familiar with such category errors.
  16. Wilsononourwing def, for encouraging positivity at a time of doom and gloom from the usual suspects :P And for being uncannily accurate with his predictions!
  17. Well, I believe WOTW deserves a beer from all of us, for showing how a bit of faith and optimism can change the atmosphere for the better , and in the process help the team. Keep it up for next season, we might need it :huh:
  18. Yes, it was worth it. We will always have ups and downs. The downs make the ups all the sweeter. This year is a good lesson that however bad it seems at the time, we will always rise again. So stick with us and have a bit of faith :huh:
  19. Yer just trying to tempt that IHE out of his lair. Maybe he's smelling the coffee at the mo :huh:
  20. No worries if it stays as it is: both Dundee and County can only get the same points as us, but both would have to beat us on goal difference. Dundee would have to win by 18 goals at least in 3 games, County by 27 in 5. Ha ha
  21. A Rooney belter tipped over the bar. How are we going to hang on to this boy?
  22. If results stay as they are, County can win the league only by us losing our remaining games, and them winning all theirs and improving their goal difference by 27. I don't think I will lose a wink of sleep over that possibility
  23. :ohmy:Dundee fans are leaving the stadium! :D
  24. :ohmy:Dundee fans are leaving the stadium! :D
  25. What was Granty's goal like? Was it a set piece, what was he doing up there? Good fella, now to your defensive duties!
