Of the ones set to expire, the ONLY ones i think that are up to SPL football are Foran, Hayes, Esson and Coz. We would survive without the others. And before anyone points it out...yes i know i have omitted Tokely. I think he would struggle this time round at SPL level Yet another season goes by where people think superman isn't upto the job. I remember his first season in the SPL when he had his doubters and ended up being our best player by a mile. Tokely deserves another shot at the SPL and he'll prove everyone wrong yet again IMO. Where "IMO" being the operative words!!

I have used AVG Free for about 8-10 yrs now and never ONCE had any issues with it.

Absolutely. Ryan is a very good keeper....and i have a lot of faith in him Cant say the same for Fraser, who i thought was p1sh and a liability. I too agree we may have stayed up had Fraser not been put in goals them last few games to flap about as usual!

I was always under the impression that (initially anyway) the land was leased to the club, from the council, on an agreed 99year lease. Is this still the case?

Bring back public stoning i say....and no DC...that dont mean socially excepted ganja smoking!

Is this to fund the replacement of the seats you and your mates wrecked last night

I sat in my first seat at a football ground circa 1977. I can exclusivley reveal...to this date...i have never had one break on me. They may be "flimsy,crappy plastic" but al wager to fix each seat will cost about ?20 a time to fix

Your totals don't allow for the fact that we have to play both Dundee and Dunfermline, so at least 2 of the teams totals will be wrong. If we win both most they can get would be, Dundee 66 and Dunfermline 61 points If we were to lose 1 and C*unty will all theirs, County win. I've got brain ache, too many combinations , I just hope our great run continues and we take care of it ourselves without relying on others. I was just highlighting the potential max points haul for each team should they win all their remaining games. Its HIGHLY unlikely that ANY of the teams will achieve that points totals.

I'd agree with that. Bazza in his younger years, he was always gave everything he had, in every single game. Slight problem with that is- Barry Wilson was already a first team player when he came to us. neither Robson nor Johnny were. In fact...if i recall correctly....Barry had Premier Division experience (not to mention Europen Football) under his belt with Raith Rovers before he came to us. So its far from a comprable comparisson

Its pretty bad craic if seats were damaged last night...regardless of the reason.Absolutely NO excuse for it. Av never damaged a seat in my entire history of celebrating! And its obviously the club that will pick up the tab!

at the moment...should the teams in contention each picked up max point before the end of the season, their points haul would be such ICT- 73 pts Ross C*unty- 71pts Dundee - 69 pts Dunfermline - 64 pts So...as it stands, we can basically afford to drop two points, yet rely on our superior goal difference to win us the league. that equates to 5 wins and a draw, im fairly confident we wont need to do that tho

Erm....im referring more to their first seasons, and merely pointing out that...IMHO....Johnny is showing more promise (at a MUCH higher standard) than Robson did. He also has a far more favourable attitude to the game than Barry did. It is no no coincidence that Johnnys form reflects our sucsess this season. He and Foran are the key players As great a player as Barry Robson was for ICT...he had a side to him than frustrated me at times.

Actually...more realistically, i think 3 wins, 2 draws and we could afford a defeat SHOULD be enuff. That sed...Im HOPING for at least 5 wins :(

I was reckoning , before the county game...we would need 15 pts from 21. So, by that reasoning, im thinking 12 pts from 18 shoud do it...so....4 wins for me should do it. Gonna be tuff tho...as we are the team to beat...so teams will raise their game against us

Sorted....i was comparing like for like....Not Robson NOW vs Johnny. I was thinking more along the lines of Robson at the start of his ICT career. Actually....I rate Johnny as high already, as i did Robson at his peak with ICT. Johhny has more positive attrubutes to his game.

I thought it was ?250k upon relegation then ?125k should they not get promoted the following season?

To be Honest Scotty...i thought the site has been quite responsive....since that period we went thro some months ago, where it was HIGHLY unreliable.

I have noticed the site has been sluggish since about tea time yesterday Scotty. Was taking ages to view pages and post replies since then

You know what folks...i dont give two hoots what league we are in. My ultimate hope from football is that i am entertained. Yes its a bonus if it happens to be in the top league....but....for me....its entertainment over sucsess....so..i have no problems being in the SPL and not competing for top slot. I was speaking to a few peeps last night...and they were saying how much they enjoyed this season in the First Div.....and i have to. To back the point i made earlier...about entertainment vs sucsess.....i have , on numerous occasion, cited a DEFEAT for ICT as my most enjoyable game ever (Livi Vs ICT: 1st May 1999).

I dint hear the Peg Sellers moaning two weeks ago...when the ref and lines "person" saved their bacon a few times! For example...when Sanchez was clean thro (and onside) yet he was given as offside!! The muppet probaby would have missed tho, but thats not the point!

For my money....Johnny is a FAR superior player than Robson was at the same stage in his ICT career. I think he has the potential to do better than Robson too. In my opinion....Robson was a good player...when he could be bothered, when things were going his way and he wasnt spitting his dummy out and taking it out on his team mates. Johhny is better at taking on players and his off the ball work rate (from what i have seen) is immense. We will do well to hold on to him. If at all possible...we NEED to get him signed up on a min 4 yr deal.

It was johnny hayes that was booked for the "two footed lunge" even tho, im not convinced it was.

Dont you think its kinda of sad...that the best we can hope for....for all the hard work this season, is to return a league where we will at very best...be a top 6 team. No glory to be had really. Might set us up to reach the odd final, but thats about it. I fear for ya Birdy...coz thats what we ultimatley have to look forward too, IF we go up. Thats the trade of Bud!

Lee Cox Aye...t'was Lee Coz. It reminded me of Beckhams ferocious strike vs Man Utd a few weeks back.
