10 Years ago..

anyone else at the Caley v Celtic game?

Being from Inverness most of my school went down to the game most of them were old firm fans anyway. I was never a Caley fan but cheered them on that night after my dad told me it was fine to support the under dog in such an occasion.

Can't believe it was ten years ago - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ct/8504677.stm

Also amazing to see how many of the players are still around today. How Ross Tokley is still a professional footballer baffles me ten years on.

I think ICT have released a limited number of DVD's of this game, something like 800 I heard.

What a cracking result that was that night!

I think the fact that they repeated the feat soon after was just as significant

O'Rourke · 08-02-2010, 08:23 PM

There was a big St Johnstone connection that evening too.

Great result.

Ronaldo · 09-02-2010, 12:57 AM

I was listening on the radio and couldn't believe it. Great night that was and Paul Sheerin scored.

Ronaldo · 09-02-2010, 01:00 AM

John Barnes and Kenny Dalgleish went two days later.

Indeed Caley always seemed to have a lot of ex-saintees.

I remember going down to an open day at the new stadium for the sole purpose of getting paul cherrys autograph for my dad.

Not strictly true. King Kenny took charge of the first team until Dr Jo came in

garydavidson · 09-02-2010, 11:26 AM

Dr Jo was before barnes, it was O'Neil that came in four months after the Caley game.

Kenny did stay on you're right enough, his role previously being Director of Football or something. Kenny's record as a manager was magnificent and I think Celtic fans blamed him too much for the Barnes era.

You're right Doctor Jo was definitely before Barnes/Dalgleish and Martin O'Neil came later.

I think Saints caused the sacking of certain Celtic managers too, such as Liam Brady and Doc Jo. It is beneath celtic to get beat by a provinicial side often referred to by their supporters as diddy teams. Very snotty for a bunch of plebs.

Wim Jansen bought Henrik Larsson without doubt their nest players since the early 70's.

Caley went through the leagues very quickly to the SPL just about as quick as "Gretna No More".

Paul Cherry worked in an Estates/Insurance ? Agents in Perth for a while. Don't know now though. Great three-at-the-back partnership him, Inglis and Baltacha.

Kevin James Is On Stilts · 09-02-2010, 07:27 PM

I went to school in Inverness, must have been in 2nd year when this happened. The place was buzzing for days after!

He was a football agent & Financial Advisor. Sold his business & went to Spain or somewhere warm about 5 years ago or so.

No, but they had Sheerin, who holds far more influence. Who needs money when you have a magician?

Won the 1st Division in their tenth year in the SFL I believe. I remember being at the game in Inverness where they beat us to win promotion and IIRC they had a special logo that I remember seeing on their programmes.. similar idea to ours for 125th anniversary

sleepless · 10-02-2010, 05:49 PM

jeez, was that ten years ago?

I believe the council helped out a lot and they set up a charity to move all their debts to, so yeah, kind of

I thought he was an agent of something.

Remember Paul said he wanted to go with Sergei to the Caspain Sea for a Cruise from Turkey? However Sergei said "Good idea but I'd be frightened to go ashore in Russia just in case I couldn't get back". PC was on the same flight as me to Tenerife once.
