Season Diary 7

Post #7: Monday 29th September 2008

Gubbed 3-1 after taking an early lead. Conor Sammon scored it again, they equalised, then got a supposedly dodgy penalty (another!) won and converted by Andy Barrowman who used to play for us, when he scored he makes a beeline for the benches holding the badge or some other sort of cliched gesture and basically trying to get it up JJ for discarding him a few years ago. Except i seem to remember him saying he never tried too hard at Killie and JJ was right to ditch him. He must have been overcome by the emotion of the event or some other bullshit, anyway, suffice to say he will get roasted when him and ICT come to us at the end of November. Well if he is still trying up there by then.

My own experience of the game was cheering when Conor Sammon (4) came up on the vidiprinter and booing when we got beat, looking at the always excellent caleyjags.com photos on Sunday and watching the bbc online highlights today. It kind of defeats the purpose of a diary if i dont do anything interesting. Whereas some people i know had far more entertaining Saturdays.

My brother, Blackie, Ally and a group of others went up on the train and stayed over night in Inverness, credit crunch ma baws. Haven't heard anything back from them as yet but i am sure they had a good time.

Another bunch went on the train and back home on the train that night. When changing trains in Perth, they got into what folk with big vocabularies would call an altercation with Dundee fans (they were playing at St Johnstone) it was described to me as a rammy and it went on for 20minutes before the police split it up, personally i am not having it, it'll be Tuesday night before i get a chance to investigate further. By the way it was described to me though i wouldn't expect a chapter in a hooli book to be on the horizon.

Last but not least, my mate Davie, the celeb spotter himself spent half an hour (his estimation) chewing the ear off our new prolific goal machine Conor Sammon after spotting him in a local nightclub, he filled his head with gems such as "your just what we need" and "it was a good goal you scored today" despite not being in Inverness and thus not having seen it, Conor lapped it up i am told. He also spotted sub goalie Damien Rascale and Donovan Simmonds but declined accosting them, not big enough stars for Davie. Disappointingly, no photos.
