yes iam an ex inverness ct season ticket holder inverness is the team i support i was there when the won the 2015 scottish cup and i was the there when the play in the leauge cup final 2014 when inverness lost 4-2 on pens to aberdeen
Going back to 2004, Scotland played Holland away in a play-off so league games got moved around. Travelled up from Newcastle and managed to get Inverness CT v Ross County on the Friday night and Elgin City v Montrose on the Saturday dinner time. Two more grounds ticked off doing the 42 at the time.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you clicking, watching and leaving a comment like that. Means a lot. I've gotta drive from Inverness to Fife today for another game so wish me luck
Hey Sam been watching you since the lockdown days! As a Celtic fan born and raised in the US, you have allowed me to grow closer to Scottish football over the years and I'm pumped to see all the support you have now from the SPFL!
You know you are doing something right when a Manager gives an interview on a freezing cold rainy night. Keep it up young man and buy you a Pint when you come to visit Newport
Props to inverness inviting you in for a chat and some shots of the stadium, I really hope some of the bigger clubs take notice of what a good light these videos paint them and their supporters in
Another great video showcasing not only the football, but Scotland as well. For someone like myself who hasn't lived in the UK for forty years, these videos not only keep me up to date but also tug at the old heartstrings a bit. Nice to see that the clubs appear to treat you well in terms of access and interviews.
ICTFC does not only share the same colours with my hometown club playing in the 4th tier of Germany, the attendances are quite similar as well. One thing that definitely not compares to it is the beautiful landscape of the Scottish Highlands, haha. Thank you for another quality video, Sam. Hoping you'll be coming here next summer.
I watched the game last night, felt sorry for ICT, played well but didn’t create the chances. Scotland’s most northerly city, a great place for a weekend stay and close to some of Europe’s wildest scenery
Great job you’re doing with the football and visits all around Scotland, we have a brilliant country, and brilliant football, no matter what some folk say about our game, Scotland has the highest proportion of football attendance in the world 👍🏴
The ground layout is rather good. Main stand with its back to those east winds (so mitigating the Gayfield Experience) and the low side facing the scenery - but open to the A9 and advertising the club and stadium to folk passing. Looking forward to the Clach film - up next! Good to see that tricky tangerine - blue colour clash respected.
Great vlog Sam! It must have been great being at ICT on a freezing cold evening? Proper footy fans!! Have you done Clachnacuddin yet? Respect to you for covering this match!
Lough Neagh is the largest water body in the UK by this measure, although Loch Ness is the largest by volume and contains nearly double the amount of water in all the lakes of England and Wales combined. Loch Morar is the deepest of the UK's lakes and Loch Awe the longest.
Glad to see you hit Inverness. The five piece challenge is certainly an interesting piece, but it fits well with your usual style of coverage of the Scottish game. The stadium looked fantastic, showing the care that the team takes in keeping it to the top tier standards. Keep up the wonderful work promoting the Scottish game, at all levels.
Sightings and the legend of the Loch Ness monster didn’t begin in 1933 they go back to Pictish times. St Columba was said to have encountered the beast when he spent time in the highlands with the Pictish king in the 6th century AD.
I just moved up to Inverness. I’m a Rangers fan but I plan on going to some Inverness and Ross County games. I should really check the fixtures in advance tho cos I didn’t even know they were playing United until last night when I was walking to the gym in the evening and seen a Dundee United fan haha. Would have been a good game to go to, but lesson learned- always check the fixtures during the week.
another great episode; your quality and production methods are not far short of those with lots more resources than yourself, well done Sam, I really look forward to your output.
Excellent video! You really showcased the Inverness area nicely. Was carragher booked after the United goal went in? Every media outlet seemed to have missed it but think your video shows it
Great timing doing this Sam, it's the 30th anniversary of I.C.T. and Ross County being voted into the S.F.L.. You stay safe if travelling in the snow we are supposed to get this week! WATP🐻
Fantastic video Sam,great job! I was able to show my American wife the clip of the Nessie centre and the view you showed of Loch Ness. She loved it. If Caley Thistle make it back to the Prem and Ross County are there perhaps you should do the Highland Derby (if you haven't already done that).
Got to feel for Big Dunc last night. I hope he does well at Inverness because he didn't have much of a chance when he was manager at my team Forest Green Rovers.
I wrote and performed ICTs cup final song for the league cup final in 2014. A big part of what makes the club great is its sense of community. But yes, 2 pairs of socks in that stadium lol
Sense of community 🤣🤣🤣 they struggle to get 2,000 at a game and are no great advert for Inverness. The merger killed the community, so fingers crossed this poor excuse of a cub goes bust sooner rather than later 🤞🏻 Inverness Thistle F.C 1885 -1994 gone but never forgotten ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🔴⚫️🔴⚫️🔴⚫️
30 years ago (1993) I lived in Inverness, and any friends who visited wanted to go to Loch Ness, so I must have went to the Loch Ness Museum at Drumnadrochit like 20 times 😆
For some summer football, why not try a trip across to the Western Isles, and visit the FIFA approved pitch on Eriskay, and take in a game or 2 on the Isle of Lewis, maybe Carloway or Back, where Scottish international Andy Gray played a few games as his mum was from the village. Some stunning locations and views.
Great vid Sam, interesting facts to support it and great 30th for the two teams, forgot the fact that ICT won the 2015 final. Great pity Sam that no one told you how to pronounce Loch not Lock😂
Thank you for going Inverness Caledonian thistle. No, i have never seen watched a match at Inverness. Cannot believe the downfall of caley thistle since 2015 when they won the Scottish cup against Falkirk which was a nice cup final.😢 Please go Nairn county in highland league sometime as they won the north of Scottish cup recently against Ross county.😊 i do want to watch a match at the Caledonian stadium someday. 😮 Dundee United going back up is boring for Scottish football, same way Celtic winning the basic League is. 😅 Seeing the same team go up and down is boring :) Nice wee video Sam and nice editing. Edit update i do have the 2015 ictfc shirt with subway sponsor :)
30 years old ICT are this year they have won the Scottish Challenge Cup a few times there first major honour reached the League Cup final and also won the Scottish Cup once and qualified for Europe
@@thegroovetube3247 Yes, I'll concede that. I think city status used to be restricted to places in England and Wales that had a diocesan cathedral but that was a long time back
I can understand Big Dunc going ballistic,as it was a definite handball,but because there was no VAR and the fact that the ref and his linesmen didnt see it (as their supposed to),we ended up with a farce! Great vid Footy,and you made the right decision in not going into Loch Ness for a swim in January!
Caley are a poorly supported club considering the population of the city and surrounding areas. Fans of the "old" merger clubs never bought into the idea, especially the Thistle fans that seen it more as a takeover, rather than a merger, & they ended up following their big team instead. There is also not exactly a huge younger fan base currently, there has been a huge disconnect between the community and club over the years for what ever reason. I cannot see it improving any time soon.
Not really true about the merger though, as the crowds were great even in the lower leagues. The novelty just wore off, ICT are no worse than other championship clubs. Scottish football is stagnating overall. You’re right about the club not engaging with us though.
@@GusMac6129 Telling myself what? That Thistle never really had much of a support? 😂 I was just trying to make a few points in a reasonable manner but hey, keep nursing your 30-year old grievance.

Would they of won the Scottish cup?
@natureseyemusic if a team with the qualities of St Johnstone or ICT can win the Scottish Cup then anyone can win it , so sure why not
@@skadforlife3817 They would have never got out of the Highland League let alone win the Scottish Cup.
Of course they would of got out of the Highland league, if the pyramid system was in place then as it is now

Forest Green is a village team even though its similar in Size to Dingwall.

Scottish football stadoums need higher camera locations. Its absolutely brutal watching Scottish games from the awful angles these tiny grounds offer.
Been in that stadium a few times, usually as an away supporter as well as a few concerts and it’s always freezing 🥶
Great to see you interviewing Tony Watt 👏
Amazing video. I’m from Inverness 😂 glad you enjoyed the city
Great vid Sam, interesting facts to support it and great 30th for the two teams, forgot the fact that ICT won the 2015 final. Great pity Sam that no one told you how to pronounce Loch not Lock😂

i do have the 2015 ictfc shirt with subway sponsor :)
Great job my brother what did you think of the caley shout for a penalty I say it should be a stonewall penalty 💙
Yes Inverness Castle is the start of NC500. From there West, North, East and South, 516 miles in total back to the Castle.
Top work
It's Ross County FC who are further north and play at their home ground is in Dingwall.
Inverness caley thistle can be super proud. I saw them win the cup v Falkirk.
30 years old ICT are this year they have won the Scottish Challenge Cup a few times there first major honour reached the League Cup final and also won the Scottish Cup once and qualified for Europe
Hope you get chance to watch Wick Academy in a game soon, or even some of the fitba in the Shetland isles.
Kirkwall is a city (i.e. it has a cathedral) in the Orkney Islands situated off the north cost of Scotland.
A cathedral doesn't make a town a city. Some cities don't have cathedrals, some towns do.

The most important thing people should know about Duncan Ferguson is that when he was a player he was "unplayable on his day".
6:18 I was gonna say Inverness sounded familliar
Here bud, that’s not a boink machine, it’s a fence.
