garydavidson Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 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/football/teams/i/inverness_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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Stevo Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike180279 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the fact that they repeated the feat soon after was just as significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Rourke Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 There was a big St Johnstone connection that evening too. Great result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was listening on the radio and couldn't believe it. Great night that was and Paul Sheerin scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 John Barnes and Kenny Dalgleish went two days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 There was a big St Johnstone connection that evening too. Great result. 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.

Mike180279 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 John Barnes and Kenny Dalgleish went two days later. Not strictly true. King Kenny took charge of the first team until Dr Jo came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Dr Jo was before barnes, it was O'Neil that came in four months after the Caley game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Not strictly true. King Kenny took charge of the first team until Dr Jo came in 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. Dr Jo was before barnes, it was O'Neil that came in four months after the Caley game. 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 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I went to school in Inverness, must have been in 2nd year when this happened. The place was buzzing for days after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 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. He was a football agent & Financial Advisor. Sold his business & went to Spain or somewhere warm about 5 years ago or so.

We are a diddy team though Caley went through the leagues very quickly to the SPL just about as quick as "Gretna No More".

jinky Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Aye but did they have a sugar daddy prepared to bugger off as soon as things went tits up? No, but they had Sheerin, who holds far more influence. Who needs money when you have a magician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Inspiration Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Caley went through the leagues very quickly to the SPL just about as quick as "Gretna No More". 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 He was a football agent & Financial Advisor. Sold his business & went to Spain or somewhere warm about 5 years ago or so. 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.
