The Mantis

Yeah. Say every time we get a corner.

So would that be the promotion-winning team or the 2002-3 team then :D

Aye, rite enuff, it was Richie, not McMenamin :003:

Sorry to disappoint you Kiltarlity but I wouldn't exchange tongues with a smoker no matter what she looked like..... and at my age I'm even less fussy than I used to be :003: :003: :004: :011: :lol:

Had a look for a Dundee forum. The official one is not busy and footymad is quite busy. Thought they would have a busier forum somewhere. Where's Heilandee the only time you need him :004: Their match report on dundee fc online is pretty fair to us. One guy on the forum says ICT were bigger, stronger, and better footballers. Most people are just moaning about their defence and how Harkins is carrying them. They're looking forward to signing Pavels. They don't like Lionel, and they're saying he punched McMenamin when they were down. Some of them think we bought the ref :003: :003: There's a lot about Foran's free ball, most of them are raging at Foran or the ref. One guy says that Foran put his hand up straight away in apology and has told TB he didn't mean it. They've got the highlights somewhere but feck knows where.

What 2 shocking errors? We made far more chances than Dundee - what are you on about, how could they run away with it? How was Harkins all over us? Proctor kept him out on the left wing and won most of the tackles. How can you control a game from the left wing? Proctor let him have too much space for the first goal but even then you would expect Esson to save it. Second goal was one of those scrambles after an Esson save. We had the very same thing second half after a Bullock save except Sanchez/Foran missed it.

I saw the Cox booking in the first half - he fouled no 9 McMenamin (I think) in front of the main stand after about half an hour. Can't remember the Hayes one at all (63 mins according to the BBC). EDIT - I see Cox was reported as 44 mins.

Def. Rooney at the end - not the Royster. Mind you I would have hooked Eagle for Roy at half time. Imrie needs to come back quick. I thought Sanchez, Bulvitis, Hayes and Cox looked the part. Jury's out on Stratford and I don't think Eagles is good enough. The dropped-ball- Foran just gave the goalie an up-and-under to deal with from the halfway line. A bit like Bazza's goal at Motherwell but further out. Difficult to see if he was just having a laugh or trying to score. The Dee fans also took the hump with Lionel second half after a wee tussle with McMenamin I think. Wonder what they'll make of Rosscoe then :D :lol: Dee had 4 bookings to our 1, and loads of fouls too. Harkins looks useful. Proc just about coped with him but the stats will show he scored twice on his watch. He doesn't rely on his pace so I reckon Ross would have him. Griffiths was only on about 15 mins but nearly scored the winner with a neat wee shuffle. Apart from that he never gave Bulvitis any grief. Glad we punted Kerr - never rated him. Richie Hart had a quiet game. Away to the title favourites and we didn't look uncomfortable all day apart from the second goal, when our SPL experienced defence should have done better. So on that showing we'll be thereabouts when the trophies are being handed out, with Ross, Imrie and Eric still to come back. Feckin Tumilty was the ref and he managed to get in the way 3 times, must be a world record. I have to say I haven't enjoyed a day out at the fitba so much for ages. Great game, loads of goalmouth action. Compare it to our games with Killie, Hamilton, St Mirren and so on last year - no comparison. Happy days are here again - let's see off the clothes-peg vendors next week.

Almost any of the 7 1/2 years under Pele but if I had to pick a time when it was just a joy to watch, then it was 2000-1 when we had the two Ayr gubbings and the Killie cup ties. We had a spell around xmas when we beat Ayr 7-3, drew 2-2 with Clyde, hammered Airdrie 4-0, and drew 2-2 at Broadwood before coming back from the dead to draw 3-3 with the clothes-peg vendors. A month later we were beating Ayr 4-3 after giving them 3 goals of a start. We also thumped our near neighbours 3-0 in November in the famous Christie/Boner slugfest. We had two double deckers from the Caley Club and they were rocking all the way over the bridge.

We were at the Centenary both times last season. No ICT fans other than us. They usually have some deal that involves a vodka or whisky or rum somewhere, and for that reason I can't remember the details.

I hear the patches are quite hard to light.

It's a pretty fair statement to me. Compared to when I was growing up anyway, before the concept of buying your own council house was even thought of, and when only about 3% of people went to Uni...... you're confusing class with wealth. Class is cultural. I've got a family of rich builders living across the road from me but they're still neds. My old man died without a bean but he wasn't scum like some of the people I see with their BMWs and their bling. BTW I never grew up in Sneck and to an outsider it seems a fairly prosperous wee place. Try visiting Paisley, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Methil, Greenock, Glenrothes....... Alness even.

I think ICT should rent out spacesuits, say ?5 for 90 mins. A real bargain if you ask me, a packet of fags would go much further.

And then played locally for the next 50 years :P

The other thing is - we've pretty much followed them up and down the leagues. Made the SPL a couple of years after them, stayed there for 5 seasons, dropped out, just like them. It's tempting fate to gloat in case we follow them out the door someday.....

Any mention of the attendance?

I think there's a bit of a difference. I bought the Tues version at the Celtic shop one day I was passing. She asked which one I wanted and I didn't want to give the tims the money for both so I took the Tues one. p.s. A season book for 94-5 and a full set of programmes, home, away, friendlies. :D I think I've also got a full set from promotion season 98-99, home/away. Missing a few aways from promotion season 96-7, think I've got all the homes. Haven't bought programmes for years though, but I try to get them for the Sc. Cup. One or two recent ones missing there.

Hi Buffs I'm away on holiday so maybe next time eh?

Brechin only charged ?6 on Sat so fair play to them. Also ?1.10 for a pie which turned out to be a steak pie.

Was Barnes playing 2 years ago at Keith when Deano scored a couple?

What a ***** post

That's assuming that Billy Reid gets any of the dosh and that he knows how to spend it.

What Malmsteen said. Plus the pub had Ledaig whisky.

I thought the black one was to last forever if I paid ?100 for it. Does that mean I get a trade in?
