latviaman

I cant see the the money being at place for two of the three but you never know and surely the assistant would have to be knox or butcher as cant see robbo wanting to be assistant I might be on the wrong site, but I remember the Heathmount being owned by Bud ? Cameron !! I remember!!1 he had retired and poddled to watch the old Jags after a few sniffters, so what happened to the Heathmount after ???

No Scotty , sec hit it on the head as we could not get a visa before the end of Brew, he is not Latvian as I dont want a Latvian squad, but we hope if JIM gets out of his SHED

when I went to Latvia to work 4 years ago, I could not speak the language as it is difficult but I can speak Russian reasonably well now and my Latvian phrase book is getting bigger, case of when in Rome!!

YET AGAIN BACK TO THE PAST RELYING ON WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE, THE JOB KNCKD cc WHY WOULD HE GO BACK??/ I SUGGEST SCOTTY AS MANAGER IHE AS FITNESS COACH WHEN HE FEELS BETTER AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO BE HANGERS ON AS THAT IS WHAT THERE IS AT THE TULLOCH NOW. HAVE YOU EVER GOT A VOICE ON THE END OF THE LINE , ALL I GET ARE ANSWERPHONES, SO MUCH FOR INTERACTION IHE OVER TO YOU

I would bring fit players from Latvia as long as I get the half time pies!!! now it is coming together, IHE psychologist or Psychiatrist, only asked!!!

IHE , your signature says it all!! et'al regular moaners etc, but you make me laugh. Now what is next re' managers ? do we get a whisky sot back or do we go down south ?? you cannot afford Paul Ince, had taste of big time after MK dons now waiting for another call, The pies won't make him come. Also am I the only person who replies to someone and finds that the topic, has been switched/ merged most annoying

Yes but I would be surprised if it happened, pleasantly surprised though !!!! Seems you are living in the past El GRINGO, past his best , too much whisky !! and he is not a gardener!!! the board won't like him

Well you regular posters, you have won, what has been is going to be the next manager. I advised re' a good defender from Latvia , the manager took heed, now he has gone!!! so do the others in the sidelines I spoke to wait???

Apart from the result, how was Pavel? is he getting fitter and understanding , pass it , hold it etc: did teach him those words!!1

Great to see how you all can spell Pavel's name, wait till he gets fit , remember it's the off season . Hope he didn't get caught up in the riots here!! And to the person who hopes Latvian women will come to Inverness, in your dreams!!! Apart fom that watch this space!!!

He's either exceptionally talented, and has been playing professional football since the age of 11....in which case the answer is yes. Mind, if that was the case, then I'd guess we'd be competing with the likes of Barca, Man utd etc, for his signature. Or the answer is.....doesn't sound like it. Saying that, if his signature leads to an influx of Latvian women at the TCS, in support of their local hero, then I say...sign him now!!! As long as my Latvian woman stays, think they will find Invss warmer. THe reason why Pavel disnae get a game is his coach is Crap and it is also the Winter layoff. Also in reply to another post I am not an Agent , just an ICT fan who wants to help the team out of a hole.

At the risk of doing this one to death - one piece of trivia I overlooked here was that Scoobies became Billy Urquhart's father-in-law. I was in the 3rd Crown run by a Captain Thom who taught at the Academy I seem to remember Rod Clyne helped out with PT (hated that wooden horse) Loved the camps at Carrbridge had an Aunt and Uncle who lived there and we, my brother and I used to go and get fed by them Each year we had a camp at Avoch on the Black Isle at easter, we had Church Parade twicw once in the am for one Church and the the Free church in the evening, didn't make me overtly religious though

I hate to say told you about Latvian players months ago, hope they do well watch this space for another from this part of the world, To all who corrected Mr Bennet re' the time difference , YES it is TWO Hours hope you do not get your arithmetic wrong on the quotes

You would be talking about Bill Mowatt, former Highland Regional Councillor for Caithness who worked for the Record before setting up his own agency. One of the first radio interviews I ever did was about a sports facility in Caithness and I wanted a 90 second clip from Councillor Bill. 15 minutes later..... Bill, along with Ian Jolly and Jim Lawson are still around but I think they may have retired now. Ian's son Peter has now taken over the freelance photography mantle. (It is alleged that Peter no longer attends the Highland Press Ball after an incident involving sitting on the Chief Constable's lap. :thumb04: ) Charles That seems to be the same icon of the press (Mowatt) as I referred to, he talked at a great speed of knots, but my gosh he wrote a good story. I can imagine if the young Jolly followed in his Fathers footsteps , he might have a hard act to follow. Have you got any recollections of a P@J reporter called Nigel ? in Jim Cruickshanks time , he went Ssouth but got edited out from the Mirror. Demensure now getting better

:thumb04: :018: ;) "....or was it in the Gellions?" What a wonderful and accurate reflection of the journalistic profession! You are probably talking about The Courier which was on Bank Lane, just round the corner from the Gellions, but in effect the Gellions was probably a meeting place at the time for most of the journalists in the town. That shifted to The Phoenix (interestingly in the era when the P and J were along the road in Ballantyne House) but the journalists' pub nowadays tends to be Number 27 in Castle Street. If you walked out of the Gellions turning left, walked a few paces ( straight) , you came upstairs again on the left, where you met Jim Lawson and Iann Jolly (and a girl called Sally who sang in a band) who worked for the Daily Record, an Englishman called Brian was there , freelance photographer,and he and Iann covered the football on a Saturday after decamping from the Gellions. Iann and Brian taught me photography then, and, when they were off the wall, the wee one, me took photos. the Record moved to the Raining stairs on the right where they employed a nutter called Bill , who talked so fast, alleged reporter? I became a photographer/ film cameraman, after my degree course, after being inspired by them, cause I thought it was a good life. Cause, Go to work, then Gellions cash your cheque with Niven, meet the wife out side pay her and carry on drinking as it is only Friday So these are my memories of where and when my life was decided, by two photogs, who gave me inspiration, My question as a person who is au fait with Journo in invss are they still alive???//

Does anyone remember the Old Bridge street? The Gellions bar , across the road was an excellent cafe run by Mrs Bernadi wife of Mario who had a Shop/ cafe and fruit shop, in Eastgate. I think there was a Newspaper office near the Gellions or was it in the Gellions? as they always seemed to be there! Does anyone remember or has my demensure set in???

Was trying to remember the bands when I was growing up in Sneck in 60's 70's saw a film playing 60's music and I remembered the Wildcats, Flock, Accents, Size 4 all from Inverness , the Rebel Sounds, does anyone remember them are any still around in various guises???

Sorted in a oner IHE, well said , but how do you tell the man to go???/ Bennet I mean???

Interesting for me from so far away to see all the names being put forward. Why do you need a Director of football when you are so strapped for cash?? Get a good up and coming manager, not a has been not a past name , get rid of the so called back room staff hangers on. When Northern Ireland came to Latvia they had more back room staff than players!!! That aside Mc Allister is looking for a club and he might just want to come back to Scotland

Aye, old Inverness was a cracking place to grow up in years ago. It was a town with character and characters but today it's become so cold and impersonal. You could be in any other city in Scotland or Britain. It was the highlight for me too at christmas going to the Playhouse, seeing the mice and the restaurant was a magice place for a young un I agree about atmosphere, was home recently and the town has lost its character, didn't recognise parts of it very dissappointed

Can't really fault them. I'd ignore you. Be grateful for your cut and paste. You really are a very boring man, there is a difference, I am not really interested if you would ignore me as I wouldnt ask your opinion in the first place TO the mann I wrote in the English I was taught in Inverness High School, because I CARE about the club. Surely if a good Cheap, no transfer with a good recommend, His record.... I repeat 17 goals in 17 games, he is worth a look, I would even pay the fare, January looks closer. His knees are not shot 24 years old, doesn't drink/ smoke, just wants a chance

I wrote regarding a Latvian player who has scored 17 times in the 17 matches played as yet not even the courtesy of a reply

Here in Latvia inflation is 17% gas going up 60% and Electricity 25% Vodka remains the same!! Mind you the Govt here see fit to build a library at enormous expense and at the same time planning to build a new concert hall They have refused to increase pensions hence old people really struggling, suppose they could eat books if really hungry!!!

All the way from Latvia to watch the game and yes they played well last weekend,glad they won, but my bill from house of Fraser and other shops takes the euphoria of the score,never will my wife hold my credit card !! Now as to the team, u are carrying too many journeymen player ie s carrying too many oldtimers Tokely slow , Wyness past it I agree get ssome youngsters in I help in Skonto in Latvia and there some great players .. especially a guy with a great left foot who runs like a stag, the team is managed by an Englishman ... dont hold that against him, but they play for peanuts I have some videos of practice matches watch .. you all might be impressesd
