There is no doubt that the car park is a shambles, but the annoying thing is it could be sorted. If it was well managed and people were a bit more patient it would all clear much faster. There are much bigger car parks than ours around the country that work. We were in one at the end of last season - the parking of cars and the exits were well managed - you had no option but to wait your turn and the car park was emptied very efficiently. If you can see that the stewards know what they are doing and that they are doing their best then there is no problem with waiting your turn. But when the stewards haven't a clue and are more interested in chatting about their plans for the weekend than watching the traffic that's where the frustration and cheating comes into play. That's the annoying thing for me. If it was better managed it would work. We are very fortunate to have a car park at the ground, so it's a shame we can't or won't use it.

Cheers Scotty - great advice. :driving01: Fer fecks sake never drive to a game...just feckin drink. - Also great advice IHE. We took a taxi down to the stadium yesterday, but just decided to walk back up the town and enjoy the banter. The craic was good and we had a couple of beers in Rileys before catching a bus home. I really enjoyed my day yesterday (and I suppose the result helped)

I agree. Hibs would be a step in the right direction, but IMO any player going to Dundee Utd is taking a backwards step. I can understand Proctor going as he is more likely to get 1st team football there. Dundee Utd have been a bigger club than ICT but right now they are struggling to achieve any sort of success and have increasing debts. Financially we are more stable and on the park we have performed better. So how can Utd be a step up??????

I have asked on the Dods thread that personal abuse stops in both directions. The majority of posters don't find it at all interesting or funny (even when it's meant to be). Hopefully it will calm down now and we can all get back to enjoying reading the posts instead of getting caught up in the cross fire. I'm sure they love you really. MEE ..............

:015: :015: :015:

Fair enough but she hates my guts :001: Can we please try to refrain from getting so personal in posts. This has no relevance to Dods whatsoever. Let's try to remain on topic as far as possible. I know MEE quite well and wouldn't take exception at her more risky posts as I can see where she is coming from, but I can also understand that if you don't know her you could quite easily be offended by her comments. The same applies in reverse, some of the comments made in her direction are equally offensive. Maybe they are meant to be 'Banter' but as I said banter doesn't always come across well in text. So can you all just kiss and make up and try to remain on topic, which I think was Dods!! We have had a few people contact admin about the content of these posts so please if you must insult each other can you do it by PM. And let's get back to talking football.

I suspect we might reach capacity on Sunday. !!!!!!!!

Cheers for the update. I just couldn't make it along tonight as I really had to work. Next time hopefully. Glad to hear Proctor played. He is still a few weeks short of full fitness, so I say keep him as we really need cover and as has been said elsewhere he can play in a few different positions.

I think the problem is that he wants to go to Utd. If another club came in for him I think they would let him go. They have told Utd that he is not for sale so they seem to be trying another route to get their man. Brewster is known to be stubborn and act like a spoilt child, but David Sutherland isn't likely to back down either. A real battle of the wills.

He has left the building. Official Site Hope he finds a club soon.

I had to vote better, although I think it's only improved a little, but as RIG says it would have been hard to be any worse.

come join us in the chatroom

Happy with the team. They all know that they have to be at their best, as we have plenty cover. Let's get this Aberdeen Hoo Doo off our backs today and take all 3 points

£80,000 is a good bit of business

Were you sitting quietly in the corner with your family at the Innes. If that was you I did speak but didn't introduce myself. Hope to see you again on the 12th.

Tony Low has been a youth coach with the club for quite a while now (at least a year but probably more)

Charlie mentions Dods in the P & J today and he hopes that the fans give him their full support for the remainder of the time he spends at the club. He has been a solid player for us and doesn't deserve a hard time for wanting to spend a bit more time at 'home'. I hope he goes to any club other than Utd though. Might be worth considering cashing in during the January window, but lets wait and see what the situation is then. We will be in a much better position to make a decision by then. Meantime he remains the ICT MACHINE, and deserves our support until such times as he moves on. :clapping04: :clapping04: :clapping04:

I think Dennis did okay last week. Dennis's skill is second to none when he has the ball at his feet. He isn't always very strong in a challenge, but when the ball is played to feet he rarely loses it. He showed quite a bit of this against St Mirren last week. I think he merits a start. Rory is more physical and would be better placed as a sub to come on later, depending on how things are going. Rory is still young and this will be quite a big game, so Dennis should start IMO. The other point is re the teamlines released to the press. I think this might be a tactic of Charlies so that the opposition can't prepare fully. The team lines that were released last week didn't bear much resemblence to the team on the park. :004:

Have a great day and bring us back 3 points please. No better time to beat the Dons. If only to shut the critics up. So come on 3 points please.

Okay a couple of points. Firstly I rate Proc as a player and a true professional. He has a very mature attitude for such a young guy. He always makes time to stop and chat if you see him out and about. He has been very unlucky in an ICT shirt as every time it looks like he has a chance to break into the team something happens. Dislocated his shoulder just as he was getting a bit more 1st team action and more recently the fact that Rossco recovered so quickly from his pre season injury. He is desperate to play football and we have to accept that. Coming from Edinburgh this will take him closer to home. As for the chairman's statement - read this bit carefully:: "For avoidance of all doubt, and to make any future media leaks futile, we will not be doing transfer business with Dundee United in relation to players who are important to our manager's plans. End of story." As we have quite a bit of cover in his position we can probably afford to let him go. I just hope we don't live to regret this decision. He is a quality player who can play in a number of positions. My only real worry about this is that he is going to go to a club that may be bigger in a lot of ways, but they are struggling on the park. He will either help them turn around their current form or alternatively their dire track record continues and he is brought down to their level. At the end of the day Proc wants to play football, so I thank him for his time with us (especially for the goal against the Hibbees) and wish him all the very best for the future. That's if a fee is agreed next week, which looks likely. Good luck Proc.

:010: :010: :010: Not nice to waken up to so early in the morning. :008:

CHARLIE THINKS OTHERWISE If he wants to go then let him, but not to Utd please.

Welcome from me too. Nice to have you on board. I believe Maimie has some contact numbers for ICT fans based in Ireland. If she doesn't see this thread try sending her a PM.

I rate him as a player, but if he doesn't want to be here we should cash in. The only thing is I would like him to go anywhere except Dundee Utd. If anyone else comes in for him then we should listen to what they are offering.

No can do I'm afraid
