Singing In The Rain
It was the for Inverness Caledonian Thistle this afternoon and the Zed family were out in force - all four of us - to watch our team come back from a one-nil deficit to beat Dunfermline two-one. It meant relegation for the Fife side and it was sad to watch players and fans in tears as the final whistle blew.
Having previously commented on the quiet atmosphere at the Caledonian Stadium I should point out that this afternoon's game was a loud and lively affair.
The Dunfermline supporters had arrived in large numbers and in good voice. On the home side, the I.C.T "singing section" on the fringe of the main stand were doing their best to encourage the rest of us to chant and cheer. It was working.
Those of us sitting way over in the family stand couldn't help but join in. We even forgot it was raining.
Trouble was the fans in the tended to stand up when they sang and this wasn't going down well with the stewards and police. Throughout the second half of the game we became distracted by the sight of Caley fans being ticked off by yellow-jacketed stewards or being escorted out of the ground by police.
It was so distracting I actually missed Caley's equaliser.
Oh well, roll on next season. Let's hope there's something to sing about this time next year.
