Now that I have got used to the new format here are my feelings in a nutshell. 1. The former site was comfortable and made me feel at home, warm and fuzzy. BUT the new one is more sophisticated,brighter, cripser lines, beautifully streamlined and easy to navigate. And it looks very modern and up to date and in keeping with not only the times but also with the new surging progress of a re-vitalised team. I am sure that,for a new visitor, it must look extremely impressive. New posters will be attracted to become a member and it definitely can do nothing but enhance the credibility and attractiveness of ICT because it sets the bars at higher levels.It's professional apearance is outstanding. The emoticoms are classic, funny and colourful.And large enough for even a Pimple to see clearly. Smile. It is clear to me at least that there has been a great deal of thought and work put into the design and to eliminate some of the former draggy points and speed up navigation throughout. In particular, I love the ease with which we now are transported immediately to the very spot where you want to be on the Forums by clicking on "View New Content". One thought for the owners, however. Would it be possible to prominently display the start "new topic" button on the main Forum before you get into the individual threads? I could not remember where it was and kinda stumbled on it more by luck than good judgement. It seems logical to me to have it right up front where all can see it as they come in the door , so to speak. Just a thought. Summary ; Beautiful site and thanks for everything Scotty and Don. Have the club management praised your efforts and expressed their appreciation--hope so. :021: Scarlet

French left back joins on 1 year deal after being released from Barnet.

(language not suitable for work or kids btw !) So thats all right for on here then?

I think the "hoof-the-ball-aimlessly-up-the-park-at-all-times" tactics that most Scottish teams seem to use is a part of the problem.

I called today and expressed i was getting a tad annoyed. I was promised a call back asap. Still waiting. :( Yay top. I think I was a bit OTT seems as if the poor girl has a mountain of work to do with not much help. She just called back on my mobile after I had left a work number which she had tried and couldnt get me. So thanks shop lady. Ill wear my top with pride.

The only place I can find who are happy to print your tops with SPL lettering is the Celtic shop in Eastgate. They have them in stock and charge ?6 per name and ?6 per number (even if it's a double number eg 14) Unfortunately we do not have the facilities to do this in house at the moment. Hope this helps

same sorry story every year now. our so called top teams just seem to get whippped by teams youve never heard of before. One thing is clear they dont like very early season games, so is that just poor preperation. Hmmm unless we are playing Icelandic, Faroese, Scandanavian or Russian teams this must be the case. The listed countries play summer footie so you would not be suprised by there sharpness etc. But the likes of Braga and Maribor are weeks away from there season starting, so in theory we should be sharper than them. So why we failing - are we diluding ourselves that there are not enough young players in Scotland, and any Tomasi, Darius or Henrick should be better than our homebrew. Past climate shows we wont learn the lessons, until one largely home grown team makes it with exciting fearless football again. Will we ever see the likes of the Dons and Arabs tear teams to shreds again. Ido think that Terry found the right formula last season ( 4-2-3-1) but can we take it further, if we do I think they would need another couple of years together, but given our standing in the poor state of the scottish game, anyone showing real form this season may be easily skimmed of for a wad of cash. hope the teams atmosphere in the dressing room blends well, as that can be the thing that keeps the good guys, as our budget wont do it alone. So much for the media slagging off the lesser teams that have represented Scotland recently - Gretna, Queens, Livi, etc County might have done better than Celtic and Hibs, but alas we will never know. This year is the top teams in order representing us, lets just see how far we go. Well done Craig Brown's Motherwell by the way, 1-1 to a decent Norwegian team in the middle of their season, but can see them burning up towards the end of the season, but hey maybe we will be their to take their place.

I agree. But take a look at this video. We may have an interesting weapon for free kicks just outside the penalty area. http://www.youmake.tv/video?id=8950 great strike! looks even better from the last camera angle, curl and power, not easily done. If he pops up with a few of those each season i'd be delighted

Some more footage off our legendaric victory on our arch enemy Germinal B**rsch*t Antwerp, We a second division team win from a first division team who always said they where better then us, and more stabilty etc.. Well our team off youngsters, wash outs and testing players, kicked their asses and kept the title: The Team off Antwerp in our ranks!! some films: You never walk alone during the match, we NEVER stop singing! more non-stop singing and drinkin' these are just a few vids, there are hundreds off them on Youtube.. But to bad that u guys are kinda 'far' away and not so easy to reach, only for the people who have the free time and money will come to there, u must think its already easy 200 euro's for going to there alone, then u dont have drinks, food, tickets and a place to stay.. i think if it was in Londen orso, there will be a massive amount off fans.. Now there will be only a fraction off our Red Army!! ps. wanna thank the uploaders off the movies to, dont wanna run with the credits, while someone else deserves them! Let's hope for a good game soon :) But beware, we didnt lose 1 match yet in these pre season friendly's :-)

Surely horse drawn carts don't have indicators? Instead, the locals keep 2 hands on the reigns and use the other one to make hand signals.

Same formation as we're still playing a Division One team. I'm assuming Rooney isn't 100%, so a place on the bench. Esson Tokely - Innes - Munro - Golabek Cox - Duncan Ross - Gil - Shinnie Sutherland Subs: Tuffey; McCann; Odi; McBain; Rooney Unfortunately Tokely's at RB due to lacklustre reports about McCann and good ones for Innes. Really this is a chance to shine for Ross, Sutherland and Shinnie. If they're out of their depth against Queens, then what hope in the SPL. It's either Odi or Sanchez for the bench, with Odi doing better in pre-season, so gets the nod.

Innes looks the part - he only had a short time on the park but he strolls like Dods and looks like he can read a game. Bloomingshyte has a classy touch but evidently has to get used to the pace of our game - but he is Juanjoesque in respect of his awareness adn skill but actually looks stockier and more apt to dig in. Two really promising signings in my view. Plus Grant Munro looks like a new signing with the shackle of captaincy taken off him plus Sutherland looks like a cross between Wood and Rooney.

Whilst I agree it is only a pre season friendly it is also good to start playing together as a unit again Think this still emphasises we struggle when Foran and Hayes not playing, esp Foran. Wasn't there so would be interested to hear how those who have made the trek down thought we actually played, as I think we lack someone up front who can hold up the ball consistently as we will generally play with 1 up and support coming from midfield

I've just been down to Manchester and this is typical of the pub debates going on. Can't wait for the season to start (language not suitable for work or kids btw !) Man City fan spells it out to deluded United

This. We've signed players from the Highland League who have made the step up. Why should Gillet be any different? I'm happy with this signing because it looks like he was a fairly regular player for Barnet and they seemed keen to try and get him back. Plus it's an area that a lot of people have commented could do with strengthening. No disrespect to Golly but I wonder how much longer he can keep going. A wee bit of competition at the LB berth will be good.

I very much doubt the Aberdeen board expect to win the league . Can you provide a source ?

Why not just go to the shop ?

No .
