Stu Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 3 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: I might be misrembering but I'm sure they virtually had a fire sale in January of 06/07, and it being clear to all at that time theyd struggle to see out that season, never mind the next, regardless of promotion. They got rid of most of their contracted players and brought in a load of kids on loan from English clubs. Most of them sunk without trace, the exception being Kyle Naughton whose had a decent career. It was so obvious what was going to happen but any time it was challenged you got a lot of pish about the players going for Rowan Alexander's vision, not the money, and other clubs should stop being jealous and have more ambition. Then, when it did fall apart, Jim Traynor wrote some ridiculous column having a go at the folk who had been stating the obvious for years and questioning why they couldn't just enjoy the ride while it lasted: http://www.allmediascotland.com/press-news/15065/traynor-again-critical-of-scottish-media/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I see it's 12 years today since Caley Thistle's 6-1 win over Gretna at the Caley Stadium. Gretna were very close to death at this point and they were - quite simply - dreadful. They must've brought about 15 fans with them and were down to the absolute bare bones of youths and loan signings (including the aforementioned Kyle Naughton). ICT started with Zibi Malkowski in goal and scored six with six different scorers (none of them being Niculae!). I remember in-particular in the second half it seemed like players were lining up to score - Tokely managed to get one and I think Vigurs got his first goal for us that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 They had a loan deal accepted for Vito Mannone from Arsenal and the story goes that he turned up, saw the facilities and jumped on a train back down to London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in for him as well, but as Charlie Christie couldn't guarantee to Arsene Wenger that he'd be the first choice keeper (we had Michael Fraser) we signed Ally Ridgers on loan from Clachnacuddin instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all that money surely they could have put together something better than that? Mind you hearing “nestles in the pokey” sang in that pseudo-American accent is quite something! Final point, James Grady could be the nicest person on this earth but he’ll always be the epitome of a ‘Gretna p***k’ to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I can't believe they scored against us. Embarrassing. Think it was only 1 they scored thankfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Anyone else remember that utter dickhead gretna_ed? ETA: I see I asked this very question on the first page.It’s still a valid point. I knew the Gretna project was dead in the water when they paid £60,000 for bit part player Martin Canning from Ross County. It was a laughable amount of money, but the aforementioned Gretna Ed was unwilling to see it as anything other than a bargain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
