....but don't expect somebody at the SFA to provide it ;-)

The truth is out there....

In the past - new blood required to freshen things up - lamb required not mutton ;-)

Nice addition to a blossoming squad

Just stick up a structure of any shape so we have no more threads on it. I remember when Dortmund put up a wall of sound when work was being done that was just hoardings with fans in seats painted on. That's all we need and if nothing else we would have a decent baseline attendance to work with ;-)

Dumbarton Home @ 3.50 - ta

No thanks - I think I'd prefer that bloke Hooper or whatever his name is ;-)

The lad has ability of that there is no doubt but how much confidence in it does he have? Too many decent players have left their clubs too early to head to seemingly greener pastures and become bit players and end back where they started or lower. If he is actually confident in his own ability then he will stay and play his part in a decent season for ICT and move on to a bigger club at the end of the season when there will be some real interest from the type of club that he deserves to take the next step up to. If he does go now or signs a pre then I wouldn't hold anything against him but he will always look back at it as a what might have been that's for sure. I know what I would do but we all have different drivers in our own professions and footballers are no different.

Dumbarton Away @ 3.00 - ta

Quite simply not the answer. Will this be the most convoluted league structure in Europe?

Jump the shark :-)) One for our American posters

DD - agree with you - as you say ol' Dougal's posts often offer an alternative view but at other times they just light the blue touch paper (or should that be green touch paper) and he can stand well back and watch the entertainment unfold Dougal - just keep taking the medication for the blood pressure and keep the posts coming

Dumbarton Home @ 6.0 - ta

Just as well you didn't google Blobby Mann

I think the correct word is assimilation ....or maybe not ;-)

Good to see them in the upper regions of the league. Hopefully they will get a decent crowd.

Merger#1 Crown and Thistle - 1889 Merger#2 Thistle and Union - 1895 Merger#3 Caledonian and Thistle - 1994 I wonder if there was the same stories being spun over a pint with the first two? Anyway I make that: Thistle 3 Caledonian 1 - nothing changes ;-)

So this evening Terry Butcher is still the longest serving manager of any SPL club - nniiiiiccccceeeee....

Sitting in the stand at Telford Street and cheering for the home team....only my new team could have got me to do that ;-)
