Just to clarify....you could get a severly handicapped individual, who has a carer, but unless they get DLA....they would not be accepted under the scheme. I get DLA, but dont have a "carer", but i fail to see why someone who has a carer should be afforded more consideration than someone like myself. Is the fact i get DLA not enuff to qualify? BTW. the capatcha statement i made wasnt directed at those behind the running of the site. Its more aimed at the numpty that thought putting up illegible words is a good idea. I have 20-20 vision and often get them wrong (The ICT site being the worst run I have had of getting them worng ever), I know elderly people....like my dad...REALLY struggle with them. As for that audio part....thats even worse....they remind me of the recordings you used to get, with 1970s supernatural magazines, of alleged spirits talking!

Does anyone know if the club are still doing DLA Concessions to games? If so....what are the requirements. In the past, i think the system has been discriminatory, as depsite me qualifying for DLA (which is the MAIN determining factor, without which i wouldnt be considered), because i didnt have a "Carer" i wasnt accepted under the scheme. Now....surely the fact i get DLA should be enuff to qualify. Just coz i dont have a carer shouldnt mean i am not afforded the same privalages as a physially handicapped person. I get DLA on Mental Health grounds....so i feel that the club are demeaning my health issues, just coz i dont have a Carer. PS...i did try about 20 times to email the club thro the new site....but that stoopit forking capatcha thing (whoever came up with that should be shot!!) I obviously wasnt getting the unfathomable wording correct.

Ah well.....thats a lot better then :)

I dont think id be happy paying three times the price of someone who waited about before buying their season ticket. Surely the point of being a fan is to put money into the club? That sed....it would be more realistic for someone like me....on a very limited income, to fork out £100 for a season tix, as opposed to £350

I think....where there is any ambuiguity regarding the players intention, then the refs decision should be lenient on the "offending" player. Fair enuff, Roscoe didnt clearly win the ball (no one could say that, given the access to the same decision making equipment the ref had...ie one pair of eyes) but at the same time...it wasnt a blatant foul either, so a penalty was punishment enuff under such circumstances....not that i believe it was a penalty in the first place!

I see that our ex penalty taker scored the only goal of the game for Birmingham this afternoon.

Thanx Gringo....i dont mind the odd advert...i think its one every two or three songs

These ?5 & ?10 upgrades....is that for the year.....or per month?

My father and his brother were National Service soldiers who were sent into a warzone in early fifties and that statement is offensive to their memory. Having said that I believe National Service would not be a bad thing if only to hammer some discipline, respect and dignity into those who need it. That would be my sole wish for having National Service back. But only IF....they were allowed to come down on those who needed it like a ton of bricks. Id much rather see the end of this whole Civil Liberties and Human Rights crap. We have become too soft in this country, hence why the UK is going to the dogs. It all starts at home, with bad parenting. Example....im on the bus into town today....theres an irritating lil kid on the bus...being hyper, jumping about all over the place, making a noise. The ammount of times the mother told him to pipe down.....seconds later....her or her freind...would then wind the kid back up. So the kid is getting confusing signals. Say what you mean and mean what you say! Too many people these days should just not be bringing kids into this world!

This is why this country has gone to the dogs.....coz prison isnt about punishment....its about "rehabilitation". Thats where its falling down. Theres a problem with the system, when im watching a Newsnight Special from inside Wormwood Scrubs or wherever, and prisoners are actually saying that Prison isnt actually that bad....that speaks volumes!

Am i alone in the wish to see these rioters hit with mustard gas and tasers?? make em realise there are consequenses to their actions! And when they get arrested....sentece them to 10 yrs in prison. Time to get this sh1thole of a country back on track.

yeah...it certainly is...for what it is! So....i see the figure of ?16 being bandied about....so question is....how would one get ones hand on a ticket at that price? When your on such a limited imcome as i am....a ?4-?5 saving is the difference between being able to go...or not

Fixed it for ya :)

What was the attendance on Saturday. In the prediction thing, most people put well into 4000's...i went for about 3600 ish

i would persevere with Tade up front....coz i think once he settles, we could well all long since have forgotten our ex penalty taker (Rooney). I THINK Tade has much more about him than Rooney had to offer. Time will tell. Given the history of our new strikers taking time to find their feet, i think its only fair Tade is cut the same slack.

Im not too worried yet. You cant put 10 new players together and expect them to hit the ground running. Its gonna take a wee while to gel and understand each others game. Im sure it will come good in the next half dozen gmes or so :) and remember, ICT, HISTORICALLY speaking....are notoriously slow starters!

HT:1-0 FT:3-1 1st ICT:Tade 1st Opp:Sproule Crowd:3664

WOW....is Mike still in Hilton Chippy? He has been at that business close to 25 yrs? I m sure he used to work at Guiberellis chippy in the Bught...way back in the day, when he was still at school?

I am also not too bothered where our players eminate from. as long as they compete, i couldnt care less if it was made up entirely of Vatican City International squad!

Well....call me predictable...but...It doesn't matter where they come from, so long as they are good enough" blah blah blah (sorry, couldnt resist) Seriously for a moment tho....i had always beleived that ICT's strength was, that we were a Highland team, made up of localish talent and the camoradarie was there, coz there was hardly ever major tinkering done with the squad. That served us well coming up thro the leagues. Terry has come and blown the whole lifetime ICT ethos out the window, so, i do wonder if we will be siging his praises, or be calling for his head, for ruining our club, come the end of the season. Persoanlly....i do feel we have to stop this small highland community club mentality if we are ever to take it to the next level

Q: How does a Welshman find sheep in long grass? A: Very Satisfying :P

Don't forget Frozen Foods on Telford Street. And Templetons where Pondstretcher is now. And Fine Fare (and their green sausages)where i think it is MacKays is now....which got taken over by Gateway, before they moved into the Eastgate shopping centre!

Part of me feels sad....more so for those who loved her...left to pick up the peices. Another part of me feels little sympathy due to her CHOSEN lifestyle. I think her career is being over sensationalized by the media. She certainly was NO "genius"...very few are in the world of music. I even heard her described as one of the most significant artists of the last century...erm...yeah...RIGHT!

RIP to all that madmans victims. Bring back Hanging!!

I think this was the wrong move for Rooney. I think the fact that BC are looking to bring in a loan signing signals that they dont think Rooney is up to the task. I think he may well disappear into footballing obscurity now....time will tell. Personally....i didnt rate rooney as highly as everyone else. Take the penalties out of the equation, and how many goals did he score in open play last season?
