it will be interesting to see what comes in the next few weeks with regards to the fact that johnny was waltzing through the defence time after time , does anyone think that he is going to be in for a lot more attention over the coming weeks

personally i am in favour of the winter split .. in all honesty we have had it imposed in recent years anyway with the weather so why not wise up save cash and make it official. as for the expanded league i would like to see it, i think that the spl could probably cope with 16 or even 18 teams...18 teams home and away would make for a decent season and throw into that one up one down but a play off for the second place/second bottom and things would take on a different meaning and there would still be incentive toward the tail end of the season to keep pushing

ok now im confused where exactly in the ground is this bit??? not going to make a game untill mid september at the earliest

one too many

think he will be a massive player for them especially if he can achieve even half of what he has done with Davie Weir

Didnt really think rosscoe did anything wrong i thought he had a better game than mccann and just as good as munro. I was impressed with hayes rooney esson and eric they all had good games but i thought nick ross was a big let down, i thought we should have played gil from the start more a case that i think as the season gets on and fatigue kicks in he is going to find it harder to maintain..

well having watched us kick of the season remotley i thought i would have a stab at a bit of a match report based on the coverage on BFBS watching in the first half i was happy, the performances of the players gave plenty for us to get excited about and it was nice to see a caely squad looking hungry and keen. players like Nick Ross and johnny hayes were standing out head and shoulders above what i would have expected for there first SPL games, some very nice moves from Kenny Gillet and Mcann in defence too were giving me hope that we really good have taken something from this game. we had several good chances created from the wings when time and time again the ball was crossed into the box and for once we didnt look afraid to have a go...gone was the problems of the last couple of years with nobody having the guts to actually take a shot and it seemed to have been replaced with more of a here we go lets see what we can do attitude.. a little more target practice and i really think that we could have a good front line.. unfortunately after about half an hour we started to get pegged back a little by celtic. pleased to be going in at the break at nil nil the game at this point i felt was still up for the taking and celtic really were not justifying the title Favorites tag unfortunately we didnt carry on in the second half as we did the first..celtic game out of the traps looking to hit us..and hit us they did.. Paddy Mccourt was given far to much time and allowed to wander through our defence to hit the net..prior to this we had looked in it but the goal seemed to leave us searching for ideas... we had matched celtic more than evenly up to this point but after the goal they got there noses up. several more shots on goal from them were kept out through a mixture of dumb luck on our part, some fantastic saves by Ryan and sheer ineptitude from celtic..to be honest i felt that we could have lost 3 goals at least today however at the end of the match to have lost one nil to a team like celtic shouldnt be seen as to much of a defeat. positves some very good performances from our team a real lets get stuck in attitude Hayes playing nearly the full match only losing one goal negatives to me i still think our defence is looking like the weak link we still looked alot for the long hopefull ball up the park rosscoe did not look like he has it in him for the whole season well that was a first attempt at a match report and these are only personal opinions based on stuttery TV Coverage....... wheres my tin hit :_shocked2:

well i had a great day today i am on r and r and i took my wagon and went off exploring the roads and hills between here (Mount Plesant) and stanley...was a gorgeous day and got some very nice pics

have there been any significant transfers of note of uk based players who HAVE managed to settle over there or is Mcgeedy looking at this like a stepping stone to the epl/championship

Strange thing to say Am i the only one that finds it a bit strange that Mr McGhee is saying he is looking forward to finding out how good his players turn out to be....i would like to think that Terry wouldn't be signing players wiht out a belief that they are good enough to do the job they are asked... to me it suggests that the Aberdeen manager has had his hands tied into not signing quality but cost basis

have often thought they could do an adult mascot package where they could pay ?x and have an opportunity to train with the team through the week and then be given the privelage of sitting in the dugout for the match,bet there would be some cracking banter

Gubbered

work... and did a bit of driving around camp doing some odd jobs

Vulcan 607 fascinating book about the blackbuck bombing raid of the falklands war

If any referee hadn't given that penalty they should have been sacked. Blatant doesn't even come close to describing it. I remember driving through Aberdeen and when I heard we had a penalty at Ibrox, in the last minute and Grandad Weir had been sent off I almost crashed! i remember laughing at the tv that night as the scrolling news had a bit about how walter smith had rewarded wier with a new contract for his excellent performances closely followed by wier sent off for rangers...... also remember trying so hard to not shout and wake up the whole house when we scored

if i mind right did Rory not get pitchedin after about 3 mins in a celtic game and played what i would say was probably best game of his caley career

Only rumours at this point but the telegraph is hardly the sun

no where had a fantastic day of nothing and basically just mooched around have probably walked no more than about 100 yards all day

Really hammers home what it means to be in the top league in the country and reminds me how far we have come since in our short history 40 countries showing the game either live or highlights, thats incredible and an amazing global audience where we can showcase that we deserve to be in the top league. Can only benefit the club as the exposure we will get will be vast and potentially huegely beneficial! Makes me proud to be an ICT fan, cant wait for next saturday, bring it on!! all i can say is YAY at least it means i can watch.. i might not be able to use my season ticket but i can probably say i will be the furthest south fan for this game....well at least untill i can work out where abouts down here the other ICT fans are...
