If you had 10/1 you should have taken a bit of it - I only got 9/2 but still in with a chance of it coming in.... :004:

At 16:50 - there will be at least 5 minutes added time.... :024:

It was a big lead but the thing is at the moment they still have a lead - now we have got to where we are in the league and memories still fresh of last season's end of season low I wouldn't like to go into the last game having to beat Dundee or get a draw. I want it to be over before that and the only way to do that is to keep on winning. But yes a worrying time iindeed f you are a Dee fan.... :024:

Only win only odds but now they are: Dundee 8/13 8/13 4/9 1/3 5/6 Inverness CT 9/2 11/2 4/1 5/1 8/5 Ross County 11/1 9/1 15/2 8/1 6/1 Dunfermline 11/1 8/1 20/1 25/1 16/1 QOS 15/2 6/1 8/1 15/2 20/1 Partick 6/1 13/2 14/1 20/1 40/1 Dunfermline at 16/1 does seem generous - not that I would put any money on them.... :024:

They should play mid-week and keep Butcher in the stand more often.... Only 8 more to go.... :024: ICT Morton (H) - 1-0 WIN Ross County (A) - 0-0 DRAW Airdrie (H) - 4-0 WIN Partick Th (A) Ross County (H) Raith (H) Morton (A) QoS (A) Dunfermline (H) Ayr (A) Dundee (H)

Interesting that BBC states just over 2,000 and the official ICT match report states 2,700 - something not quite right but then the BBC match report on County's game shows County 0 Hibs 1 with a picture of the County player's celebrating the winning goal below.... :024:

I have played in a few of these - Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Ipswich Town and Scotland (even managed to score at Hampden). It is a great idea but it is usually only EPL, Championship and SPL teams that are involved though not all of them as the facilities have to be available for use when the games are being played and importantly the club needs to want to do it. When ICT were in the SPL there was a hope that a game at TCS could be a possibility. There was at least one thread on it as well as the possibility of a game being raised with the club through the boardroom banter facility. The club asked for further details to be forwarded but it never got any further than that unfortunately. I still get all the Football Aid e-mails and I notice that this year there have been a lot of unsold positions - usually there are very few and they are usually 45 min slots. Currently there are still open positions at more than 10 clubs including both games at Anfield which is usually one of the first to be sold out very quickly. I assume a lot has to do with the current financial situation in the UK so getting 28 people to be willing to play (and pay for) a Football Aid game at TCS and getting the club to want to do it might be a while off yet.

We are down to 9 games to go and 27 points to play for.... ICT Morton (H) - 1-0 WIN Ross County (A) - 0-0 DRAW Airdrie (H) Partick Th (A) Ross County (H) Raith (H) Morton (A) QoS (A) Dunfermline (H) Ayr (A) Dundee (H) None of the last three games look particularly easy but out of the top 5 we have 3 at home (Dundee, Dunfermline and County) and only 1 away (QoS) in the run in....

The league as it stands - game on.... Dundee 49 (+11) ICT 46 (+17) Dunfermline 46 (+10) County 43 (+7) QoS 39 (+12) Partick 38 (+6) Raith 29 Morton 27 Ayr 27 Airdrie 16 Also a good crowd today - 5,928

As it stands with a few minutes to go: Airdrie 3 Dundee 0 Ayr 3 QoS 0 Raith 1 Dunfermline 2 Morton 0 Partick 0 County 0 ICT 0

3-0 GD delight....

Would say more must not lose than must win....

Morisson booked for County

As it stands then not many goals about Airdrie 2 Dundee 0 Ayr 1 QoS 0 Morton 0 Partick 0 Raith 0 Dufermline 1 County 0 ICT 0

So McGhee seemingly already has 100 names on a player short list and said agents will be contacted to see what it would take to get them to come to Pittodrie - I would assume one or two ICT players may be on that list especially those that may not have a new contract offer yet - Rooney (1 year left?), Hayes, Esson??
