It was? :confused06:

Get yer sig sorted! :016:

So if Blackie plays in a pointless friendly then we should expect him to sign a new contract? Hardly. Good to hear that Blackieforce about hopefully getting the extension signed. Maybe the big signing of Rankin has made the players think that we are serious about winning the league challenging for top 6 :001:

Thuram also rumoured to be heading to Barça EDIT: Confirmed!

Capello has apprently said that Zambrotta turned down madrid as he is going to Barcelona.

Rankin Hole :015:

Max. of 200k for me but realistically 100k :003:

MacDonald is on a longer contract than Dargo.

It is on Teletext that Campbell should play against County.

Swap Rankin with Black would make more sense there. Rankin spends half his game in the opposition half while Blacks tackles back much more. From what I have seen so far anyway.

It is part of the transfer agreement. You know like the one Brewster had with us after he went to Yinited not to try and bid for our players right away.

I am reliably informed (© Immortal Howden Ender) that I have posted a 'mini review' of the game with some pictures on P & B -> *Click Here*

I know! :001:

Fiorentina were relegated because they were declared bankrupt. Not suprised to see Emerson and Cannavaro go to Madrid though a bit suprised Zambrotta isn't joining them.

:015: - there's a thought. Wonder if the chap who flew from Sneck to Aberdeen for the first SPL game will lend me his chopper? :001:

Not sure about that last comment Alex. Will depend a lot on what 1st team players might turn up for Tokelys game I guess? Any idea how many current 1st teamers might feature in the game? Regarding Hart, I thought he did allright and got forward well to support the lone striker. Had some good crosses and in general was good without excelling. And he also did not look in the slightest over weight.

Nowt special. Duncan scored a good goal and Sloan took his well. Aside from that a 'reserve' side took to the field and struggled to create any real openings. Glass missed some glorious chances and Rory was poor again unfortunately. Parratt was good in the right back slot, very good in fact I thought and was my MOTM. Hart played well as did Duncan and Keogh. We played a 4 - 5 - 1 initially with Rory alone up front and Glass and Campbell as the wingers with a back four of Golly, Hastings, Kerr and Parratt. Fraser was in goals. Hart had a few long range shots go close but it was Duncan who scored with an accurate 'pass' into the net for the opener. In the 2nd half came those misses that will haunt poor Glass. Both were from no more than 1 metre out (I was next to the goal so I know!) and yet he managed to send them both over. Stuart Sloan came on and immediately scored with his third touch. Controlling a loose ball from a corner he stepped inside his man and fired past the goalie to make it 2 - 0. We ended the game playing what looked like 4 - 4 - 2 with Hart and Rory upfront. Fair play to Rory, that's 180 minutes in 2 straight days and he does try but he lacks that cutting edge right now. Pictures to come.

I'm not starting it for 2 reasons 1) We have another game to play before then :016: 2) I don't think I can go :007: Must say actually, I'm not looking forward to going back into the stand for the ICT games or any of the SPL games. Realised how great the terracing is and how much I miss it. Maybe I'll go and support Elgin... :015:

I'm going with Wyness Shuffle (hopefully) and trying to convince caleygirl as well :003:

Agree with that aside from the Caff comment. I thought he was allright. Where do you feel he went wrong? Not having a go but I can't mind him doing anything wrong. I think the 'stand out' mistake was Morgan being robbed for the second goal.

From what I was told last night the Buchan Cup is simply Peterhead v another team they invite to contest it. The last two years it has been ICT. The team that was out last night was pretty much full strength minus Dargo. Here are a couple of shots from Rankin. Apologies for the blurriness. [attachment deleted by admin]

Nope 4 - 4 - 2 though we did go to 3 - 5 - 2 later on. We were poor. I don't think we knew how to score tonight. Rory missed countless efforts and Wyness still doesn't look sharp. Wilson looked good for us and Black played well I thought. Rankin - meh. Nothing special. All of Peterheads goals were utterly brilliant and our defending for the 2nd and 3rd left a lot to be desired. Morgan tried to be too clever with the ball for the 2nd and lost out and Peterhead capitalised. Then for the 3rd we backed off Linn who scored another belter. We could have gone on for ages and not scored an equaliser. We missed numerous one on ones and open goals. After the game we had the pleasure of having a few drinks in the bar and met some of the players and I got my programme signed by all the ICT lads :003: Spoke to Bavidge as well and he was good banter :001:

There are no good forwards available in our price range though. If there were then Falkirk and St. Mirren would be wanting them as well.
