  1. It’s not a sphere, it’s an oblate spheroid. Prof Pedant.
  2. Doesn’t get any better for us. Pars 2-0 up at ht, Utd absolutely honking.
  3. The BBC are always about 5 minutes behind. Free apps such as LiveScore let you choose favourite teams and inform you instantly, so fast that they have to correct the score if the goal is disallowed
  4. Got a better chance of staying clear of the playoffs than ICT…
  5. Can’t see what anybody can do except move them on and they’ll just move along the road a bit. Surely they’re not parking, just waiting which is different ? Btw I picked up a £100 fine (reduced to £50) at Tannadice this season. They’ve set up an exclusion zone around the two stadia on match days as residents were complaining. So watch out for the signage when we’re back there on the 23rd.
  6. But then, the young team even have a song for Wallace Duffy... Never rated Glancy at all, even in tier 3, although my only good memory of him is an equaliser against Clyde in 1999 which more or less kept us away from them and we went up along with Livi. The ICT supporters' bus never got past Drumochter that day and I remember feeling obliged to post probably my first ever match report on CTO as very few of us were there.
  7. Special mention to Logan Chalmers. Apparently 12 starts including subs, and 5 goals, notably the two late strikes away at Starks Park which had most of us dazed as we left the ground
  8. You know by this time I always have the photographic evidence 3rd November 2000, Glenrothes. Stevie Saint, Duncan with some hair, Stuart Eaglesham on guitar and Wayne on bass. Not sure about the drummer.
  9. Hard to disagree with Dunc actually. More or less dominated the first half and had a few blocked on the line. Always felt it could come back to bite us. Second half was very poor and we relied heavily on the long punt up to Samuel but we had a few near things when the final pass was poor. Looked like 2 stonewall handball claims to me. Arbroath goal was away down the far end but looked scrappy. Not the most memorable trip ever to Arbroath, will miss it although I hope we are in different divisions next season. Half hour delay due to roadworks between Perth and Dundee - should have paid attention to the satnav. Then another 10 mins delay before Arbroath. Steak and black pudding pie 10/10. Plus Mrs Mantis and I have just scoffed two of the biggest smokies ever seen .
  10. Cheers Robert. Could have sworn I was on that page before and there was nowt
