Im sure I will regret posting this but someone would have.

 

Tonights BBC podcast has a feature on the birth of our current club. Lots of dodgy accents and comment from Mr Bannerman.  38 minutes in

 

I will now sit back and watch Mr B, Dougal & IHE have a 3 way polite tet-a-tet-a-tet.

Mods: Feel free to block this if it gets too much

If you listen carefully to the 1993 package which was rebroadcast at the start of that item last night you will hear, among others, the voice of an occasional contributor to this forum claiming that they were being "sold down the river... for nothing"!

 

But there is something I would especially like to emphasise. Yes, it was important to mark the 20th anniversary of the events which allowed ICT to become a reality, and especially at a time when, two decades later, the team formed as a result of votes by two clubs in the Highland League sits at the top of the Premiership.

But the direction in which to look is most definitely forward, which is what the last question in the feature about belief within ICT was all about.

So it is an anniversary to grieve ?

wow so 20 years and we get 6 minutes why am I not surprised

Are you telling us this is your Last Post on the subject?!

GJ... you may not be aware of the whole picture.

This Sportsound item was actually the fourth different piece of national coverage that this anniversary got on Radio Scotland during the day - in addition to three items on BBC local radio. These seven different pieces spanned breakfast, lunch time, tea time and early evening.

I would also point to Nicola McAlley's excellent package on STV so between them, these two broadcasters have actually given this significant anniversary a great deal of coverage.

I thought getting the original recordings was pretty cool. To be honest, I'm surprised it is so prominent.

Charles! Was the STV broadcast last night? Id like to maybe try and find it on the STV player

It's on stv player as far as I can see. Can't post link. Stv news Aberdeen edition

Hang on, I thought the 20th anniversary was next year?

It is - we are talking about death and bereavement here.

Ah I see, never knew it took one year to make the club up!

Read pages 17 to 21 of the Merger Thread for the full facts.

Aye cheers for that

 Just after quarter past six on North Tonight on 9.9.13. It included a fair bit of old footage from Highland League days - including, I believe, Urquhart's goal in the final derby in May 1994. On that subject it had always been in my mind that it weas a header at the left post but it seems it was at the right!

I suppose that depends on what end you were standing in ! Loked like the right from the Howden End.

sadly the STV player is total rubbish and only has tonights episode of the news!

Well, you didn't do too badly yourself Charlie.

 

A good, enthusiastic report my man.

Oh forgot to add I read an article on ICT on the web today about this 20 year mularky and IHE and Kingsmills were quoted. Wasn't even a decent article (if you read it you will know what I mean) but at least the lads and the site have their uses.

PS - this is where I find out that IHE is actually a 70yo female Jaggy ;-)

O2 Feckin B:

Feck me Johndo, your looks have improved with age!

I'm still thinking about "Nicola McAlley's excellent package"....
