Yes. Dods was a Saint Johnstone "cast off" - and playing in a division below Motherwell whose "casts offs" aren't good enough for us according to you. He is a prime example of where we do our buying. Players like Duncan, Wyness and Caff are all "cast offs" in one way or another or are Aberdeen cast offs seen as better than Motherwell cast offs? I wouldn't think so. Regardless, players that are freed by their clubs in the SPL are going to be the ones we are likely to look at given our budget and I see nothing wrong in it if they have something to offer which many players int he past certainly have done. Incidentally, Sutton would be far from a St. Mirren "cast off". He is doing the excat same thing as Dargo and I would love to have him at ICT.

Is that a serious comment? I wish. We could offer a pre-contract but with Cardiff rumoured to be after him there is no chance of us landing him.

I don't have a problem with Gretna other than when they try and claim they haven't spent any money on their amazing rise to the top oft he SFL leagues. I see now another high profile signing is about to be allowed to leave with MacFarlane rumoured to be told that he is surplus to requirements. Of course these players came to Gretna to work with Rowan and not the massive pay cheques. Tosh and MacFarlane between them took home nearly £3,000 per week :010: While it is entirely up to Brooks what he does with his money to try and claim that the team has been put together without any massive investment is taking the piss. That's what gets people annoyed about Gretna.

Did he not also have some kind of stomach infection or was it something to do with his groin? The reason I ask is that Tokely was suspected to have a very similar injury to Keogh but it wasn't as serious as Liams one.

You must be quite new to this SPL lark. Dunfermline for a time were a regular top 6 side in the SPL. It's only been the last couple of years that they have floundered.

If you're a Falkirk season ticket holder maybe. Doubt I will be able to take this game in. I grudge paying £19 for what is essentially a friendly.

Methinks you are correct! :001:

21.04.2007 at 15:00 League Inverness CT Motherwell Loss - the Home team in this fixture seldom wins. 28.04.2007 at 15:00 League Dundee Utd Inverness CT Loss - Dundee United are revitalised under CL and I fully expect us to lose this game. Happy to be proved wrong. 05.05.2007 at 15:00 League Falkirk Inverness CT Draw - unless we can learn how to finish then another result like last weekend beckons. 12.05.2007 at 15:00 League Inverness CT Dunfermline Loss - Dunfermline will need the points more and we saw what happened with a team who has something to play for and a team who has nothing to play for meet. Plus we have never looked good against them this season. 19.05.2007 at 13:00 League St. Mirren Inverness CT Draw/Win - Again nothing between the teams and we scrapped past St. Mirren reserves in January. We were thoroughly hammered at Paisley but escaped with a point. A draw would be a good result.

It was me for much the same reason Caley D gave except I felt that it belonged in rumours :003:

Because that was the fault of the police - allegedly. Good to see Milan go through last night :003:

Simple - we are a wee diddy team and we play (in some peoples eyes) some terrible hoof it and hope football. As already mentioned no one outside the OF is going to get much coverage in the papers - the likes of us, Falkirk and Motherwell - so we can't do much about that apart from just win more games and try and elevate our status in the SPL. Other fans see us as a "big, physical team..." etc. You know what I mean. That's just how they percieve us and perhaps to an extent they are right. We do have some big dominating players in our team but a lot of our midfield are midgets and Bayne aside it's not like we have huge folk up front. Our style of football, a lot of the time, won't win many fans (of other teams) but if it gets results you can't complain (too much :004: ).

Every goal was a good one last night. The Roma goal was fantastic - he wasn't even looking at the goal when he shot!

The are trying to preserve their games with the Old Firm and relying on those games to make money for the club. They don't want the league structure to change because they will lose out on OF cash by having less games against them or they will face a scenario whereby the might be relegated and not have any games against the OF at all. The Old Firm will runaway with the league regardless of its setup. I don't see how there will be any meaningless games with a larger number of teams. They will surely be more meaningful than the round of games your club is about to play over the next few weeks? At least they could go up in the table and get more prize money as opposed to knowing you are stuck in 7th and can go no higher.

You wouldn't notice anyone missing tonight to be fair. Fletcher has done all right but he has been over shadowed by a very energetic and hard working Smith who took his goal well, a blistering Ronaldo who has tormented the Roma defence and the excellent Carrick who has scored a couple of great goals and dominated the midfield. All three have performed better than Fletcher.

Now I'm worried because I think you were actually being serious. Fletcher has been anonymous in the first half. The front three have been excellent for Man Utd and Carrick and Giggs have done very well in midfield as well. Fletcher has contributed very little compared to what those players have done so far.

Other - i.e. 18 teams. but no changes will ever happen because any Non OF team in the SPL wants the games against the OF for the money. They won't give that up.

Hardly surprising ICT have said no to the suggestion - we are now part of the Self Preservation League after all.

At ICT I would say that there are a trio of contenders for POTY - Wilson, Munro and Hastings. Wilson - He may now be 35 and a reduced role next season might beckon but he has had another great season for us. Still a potent threat down the right hand side and can send in a mean ball for the strikers to capitalise on. Weighs in with some goals himself and although his pace might be fading he can still beat his man with some neat trickery. His goal against Hibs showed he still displays quick thinking and he has also showed a degree of flexibility in his play by been stationed on the left wing on a couple of occasions this season. Munro - One of the very few players to come through the ranks at ICT. Runner up in Scotsports "Longest Throw" competition Grant has formed a solid partnership with Dods at the heart of the defence. Indeed this season he has performed better than Dods on many occasions I would say and it looks likely he will be given the Captains armband next season. Strong in the air and a fierce tackler, Munro has shown in numerous games he can handle the big stars of the SPL. Hastings - I was one of those who were sceptical when Robertson brought him back to the club. A bit part player is what most thought of him. When Golabek dropped out of the side through injury Hastings came in and performed exceptionally and soon began to gain confidence the more he played in the team after some shakey starts. This season he has carried on that form and is very much our first choice left back. Indeed, his form has been so good that Golabek has been farmed out to Livi. Certainly one of the most consistent performers for us though often poor with his passing out of defence and his crossing could be better. That said he defends well and matches his attackers for pace on most occasions. A dark horse for our POTY I feel. My personal preference is between Munro and Wilson. At this stage I don't think I can really separate them. A few more games should do that smile.gif

The only time stewards came into Section E was to talk to a couple of guys who were behind me on the left which is not the area where the shout came from. Indeed they seemed to know the stewards and appeared to get on pretty well with them. The stewards left and the two people they spoke to remained where they were. No one was lifted by anyone.

Not the same thing to everyone or simply not good enough for you? And if you are even for one second trying to suggest that I know who was responsible by appearing reluctant to divulge information/thoughts/opinion then you are very much mistaken. But you claim you knew the exact location it came from: On a side note, given your well known attention to detail when it comes to spelling (and your typical manner of insulting others over their spelling errors) you might want to have a look at your post again.

*sigh* Here is my first post in full: I can see the condemnation there. Of course I had some idea of the location of the shout - I have never denied that and I have offered my thoughts on where I thought it came from. Given that you claim to know the exact location of the person shouting I trust that you did something about it? I would have done had I known where it came from exactly but my position in the stand only told me one thing - it was to the right of me, quite possibly Section D. That is all I could tell. Without meaning to go off topic it's a bit pathetic that you seem to have resorted to personal insults to other forum members during this discussion. EDIT: I see Caley D has already covered this.

Are you sure? I sit in Section E and it came from my right and it sounded more like someone in Section D. I have already condemned it so I would appreciate it if you didn't try and lecture me on this subject thank you very much :003:

I thought I heard that being shouted as well but I wasn't sure if that's what it was or not. It came from my right hand side so it would have been (in theory) someone in Section D or C in the North Stand. Can't believe someone would say that and amazed no one immediately around him said anything. The section that was visited by the stewards was not where the shout came from. No idea why they came into our section - maybe they had made a complaint about it?

Get away! :015: He passed the ball around in standard Falkirk "tippy tappy" style but how much did he really create? He never stamped his authority on the game like he did down in Grangemouth during that horrendous pummelling we took back in December.
