Couldn't get to the game due to moving flats but what a fantastic result. Here's hoping the team can go on from this and get our poor home form sorted. Same team next week surely!

Apparently the Liverpool store has sold out of beachballs and Man United fans are rumoured to have snapped them all up and will be throwing them onto the pitch this Sunday ;)

Anyone catch Dida's howler last night? How is this guy playing football at a team like AC Milan? Granted they aren't as good as they used to be but the guy is puff. Cracking result though thanks to some wonderful finishing by The Duck. Atleticos atrocious start to the season continued with a 4 - 0 decking at Chelsea and Bayern crashed to Bordeaux. Anyone see any of these games or the rest?

Some people on here are really thin skinned! Not everything posted on here is having a go at someone.

Aye that one is included in my original post.

I found this old thread an interesting read. Some posts of note include one where, according to MFR, Niculae negotiated the deal himself *clicky* Bennett admitting that Niculae is entitled to a cut of the fee *clicky* P & J claiming he was negotiating his own exit *clicky* Niculae must forgo his fee - Inverness Courier *clicky* ICT snippet claiming Marius initiated the move *clicky* Quite an interesting read going back to last summer!

Scotland gets too many clubs in Europe anyway. Rangers Playing 1 up front at home Alan McGregors goalkeepers top :(

Didn't ICT receive two bids for Niculae with the player stating his prefence for returning to Romania? Maybe that's what the club are going to use as their proof that he insitgated the transfer.

http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/1447844 ICT are apparently waiting on a transcript from FIFA on the decision before making their next move.

Lee McCulloch Ibrox emptying after 60 minutes :P On another note - Liverpool

I went to see Up at the cinema tonight and I found that hilarious but I had tears in my eyes when I saw this result and saw the goals! :022: Actually cannot stop laughing at this

Rothen! :022: Lafferty!

GIRUY Rangers :022:

Just go here. They never check.

The very same. He was one of those players that teams fighting relegation always seemed to sign no matter how rubbish they had been elsewhere. EDIT: The banner is very impressive. How much did it cost? (This might be mentioned in one of the links but I don't know if I can access them at work).

No I'm not. I don't know what ground work they did or didn't do but they didn't do anything any team relegated from the SPL has done before them. I don't see anything wrong with trying to get the fans to get behind the team and show their support by snapping up season tickets. Again, how were the club meant to advertise season tickets this season? :)

For the reasons I've already mentioned plus other obvious ones like attempting to avert the typical knock on effects relegation usally has on a clubs fan base.

Not normally no although as in many cases there is always an exception. I don't know the answers to any of the above and neither do you. Again, and for the third time I'll ask you, how were the club meant to advertise this season?

Utterly bizarre How can the board of a football know full well what lies in wait for the season ahead? Sure they might have a rough idea of where they might aim to finish the season but, as I asked you earlier and you declined to provide any kind of thought out response, what you have the club do? Advertise that we might be fighting it out for mid table mediocrity? Of course they are going to try and be upbeat about our promotion chances even if some fans aren't. If they push this bouncing back to the SPL line enough more people sign up for season tickets = more money = more chance of success in getting back to the SPL. Surely that's their job to try and maximise revenue to the ultimate benefit of ICT?

Yes. However in doing this (s)he is hardly mis selling said products. Hate to disappoint you but no elaboration or further response is required from me

No I am suggesting they have less control over a teams performance than a shopkeeper does over the goods he sells. It's not a wind up. What are you drivelling on about now?

Oh dear

His corners were good yesterday. Best corners I have seen from ICT in a long while actually.

Pretty poor analogy though. A shop keeper has more control of his goods than the ICT board over the performance of the players. That's more down to the manager.
