More scenes .......Maybe some of the older users of this site can remember a game when caley beat us ?

Fer fecks sake mun - I would end up with a repetitive strain injury

And as fer the game - it was a boring 1-0 on a ****** day on a ****** pitch - where a team of stackers and hoofers would always be favourites.

We won 1-0.

You are dead right! Apologies....31 years on my memory fails me since it was indeed  the other way round. It was Jags who took the early lead and a Caley wag - hence obviously not Dave Williamson! - who came away with the one liner in question.

However I think my memory is intact enough to be able to help you in your request for a Caley victory in that era. I think it was April 1986 in a midweek game at Telford Street and it was Caley 7 Jags 0. I had the misfortune of having to interview Jock McDonald about Jock having been shafted by Wallace Mercer in an attempt to get into the Scottish League... just AFTER that game

On the other hand, two and a half years later at the same venue it was Caley 0 Jags 3 in a qualifying cup final replay.

So 7-4 aggregate over three games

Well not quite. Caley had 5 goals chalked off, including the one he illegally scored, for The Legend not being a registered player in the final derby at Telford Street, so that makes it 4-3 Jags across the four games.

Nowt to do with your memory you just consistently post pure p1sh, any normal person would do some research at least if you weren't even at the game

What an embarrassing mess!!!!!

That Qualifying match that Charles refers to was a win for Thistle 2-0. They were in the ascendency after one of the Caley players was sent off by an iffy referee. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the pitch looked very good.

I can't help wondering how Thistle fared in the cup ties to follow.? Over to Charlie .

For those who have not seen them yet another video of one of the old jags games from 1993 on Kingsmills Jaggie's You Tube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLqFjB0B-hilTQCseuF8f7A)

Report for the Celtic pre-season friendly in 1973 at Kingsmills Park in the days of multiple highland league pre-season games against league teams touring the north.

• Thistle 2 Celtic 6
• Fraserburgh 1 Motherwell 4
• Buckie Thistle 0 Airdrie 7
• Caley 1 Clydebank 3
• Ross County 0 Queens Park 4

There are a few teams there that would love those types of scores these days.... 

Match trivia from CelticWiki:

 

• Start of the new season with two games in the highlands as part of the pre-season warm up. The players had reported back for duty on the 14th July.
• In the closed season Dixie Deans had left for Luton Town in a £20,000 deal. Harry Hood had gone to play in the USA over the summer and Bertie Auld was hoping to sign him to Partick Thistle on his return.
• Sean Fallon had moved from Assistant Manager to Chief Scout and Youth Development. Davie McParland had arrived as Assistant Manager to Jock Stein.
• Stevie Murray had seen another specialist about his tough injury and was reconsidering his position. George Connelly had gone out on a year long loan to Falkirk to attempt to resurrect his career.
• Atholl Henderson had been signed on a free when released by St Johnstone.
• The 16 man squad had headed north on the Thursday for the two games and trained in Inverness.
• Falkirk, having taken George Connelly on loan for the season were looking to buy Andy Ritchie.
• Latchford saved penalty in 32 minutes but referee ordered retake and Black scored from the retake.
• Bobby Lennox was injured during the game and subbed.
• Young George McCluskey pleases Jock Stein with a hat trick and Johnny Doyle scores his first Celtic goals. Doyle and George McCluskey play as the front line strikers. Celtic went 2-0 up in the first half but Thistle pulled one back from the spot after an Edvaldsson infringement.
• The part-time Highlanders tired in the second half and Celtic ran in another 4 goals.
• Stein is now well and back at the helm and was happy Doyle did not react after heavy tackling from the Thistle players during the game.
• Scorers - Thistle: Black 2 (pen 32, 87) - Celtic: Doyle 2 (17, 86), G McCluskey 3 (27, 61, pen 63), MacDonald (67)
• Celtic team: Latchford, McGrain, Lynch, Gavin, Aitken (MacDonald), Edvaldsson, Dalglish (Ritchie), Doyle, G McCluskey, Burns, Lennox (Wilson)

This of course is a 1995 "achievement" by Jags to which they were beaten in 1988 by Clach and by a larger margin by Caley whose stand and club records with it went up in smoke away back in 1950.

Caley Ladies 1926 - don't actually remember any of the Inverness teams having a ladies team in the second half of the 20th century but 90 years later there is definitely an Inverness ladies team

Came across these in a recent clean out - if I recall they were from the late 70s or early 80s - I am sure there were a few more in the set....

Ah mind the Q-cup final in 1980, ugly scenes from the Jaggies.

And then a riot broke oot too.

Actually, the Charlie Duncan one bears a remarkable resemblance.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Well I suppose it is in the eye of the beholder but I thought that people may confuse the first between Milroy and Titchy Black
