  1. I may be wrong here, I often am, but when we reached our first League Cup semi final a couple of seasons back a lot of us were saying all semi finals should be at Hampden when they announced Easter Road. I am starting to find this "They all hate us" mentality getting tedious and think we are forgetting or overlooking what a great achievement this is and instead of getting excited, some, are wallowing in self pity. The decision is made, Sunday 19th April 2015 at Hampden Park. Let's start enjoying the build up and encourage people to get there and get behind the team and let ICT do what they do best, beat the odds and shock Scottish football.

    How can they all hate us when their all ment to hate Celtic?

    Surprised Sevco haven't tried this, given the obvious opportunity it creates to stiff the taxman

    Fans are bound to link what they pay to the quality of recent performances so would this not be a pretty risky one for Sevco?

     

    No Income Tax, no VAT, no money back, NO GARANTEE.

    Cushty, you plonker!

    Well done to ICT for a second successive profit of £28k. My concern is that this was at the end of our most successful year ever, with a cup final and compo for Butcher. With further declines in our attendances, are we really running at £500k deficit for an average season? Perhaps a bit negative, but a reality check?

    Where are you getting this number from???

     

    The club acounts which have just been published plus various media reports.

  4. Frankly speaking, my knees are now at the trembling stage. Why? Because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Scottish Nation. ONLY ONCE!

     

    Great stuff Scarlet. It must be amazing to be able to stand on the sidelines in the economic safety of Canada and urge the people who have actually stayed on here to take the huge risks coming from a Yes vote and put there livelihoods on the line. Meanwhile all you have to worry about is having a moan about you're British pension.

    Not going to quote you but I do think you are preaching to the converted. The people that the message is aimed at aren't on this forum and as outsiders looking in our game is not exciting and is repetitive and spouting "negative" or "happy clappers " isn't going to change people's opinion. Where are the extra 500 people going to come from?

    They are there as can be witnessed in the attendances for the bigger games such as Celtic, Aberdeen and County. The trick is getting these people along for games with hamilton, Kilmarnock etc. Don't know if the cllub has details of who these people are, and maybe the club do this now, but worth contacting these people with special offers, incentives to try and attract to more games?. Would 6 game season tickets, or something similar be an option to try?.

     

    Even Celtic Aberdeen and County crowds are going down. Less than 6000 at the Celtic game. A few year's ago that would have been over 7.

    What I don't understand, is why are Yes running Salmond every time?    Why then do they not run Dennis Canavan next time against Darling?  

    Because hes Scotlands answer to Micheal Foot + Denis Skinner + Derek Hatton + Arthur Scragill all combined. He would embarass them even more than Alec Salmond. We are having this vote only because Salmonds party got a majority. He has been the mouthpiece from the start so if he has become an embarasment as the front man then they will just have to live with that.

    Or on second thoughts they could maybe get Micheal Russell to do it.

    Micheal Who????

    Now theres a point. What HAVE they done with the Minister for Education in recent months?

    Maybe theyre playing safe and getting him to run the St Kilda branch of the campaign.

    I consider the no voters gutless cowards.

     

     

    What pathetic, presumptious arogance thats typical of the Yes campaign where everybodys wrong but them. Look son, you dont live in Scotland, you dont pay taxes in Scotland so you dont have a vote and whatever you think doesnt actually matter a toss.

    But on the other hand just keep opinions like that coming because people like you are a Godsend for Better Together.

  8. We should go for that guy in America, Anson Dorrance who manages some women's football team.  His win record is something like 94%*!  I don't know what the standard's like (probably rubbish!), but still that's quite impressive!

     

     

     

     

    * No joke!  Look it up!

    The best way to get a huge win rate is to find a sugar daddy and bring in better and higher payed players than your rivals can. For instance Davie Kirkwood at Brora has a win rate of 91%
