Arrogance of the English (media)
of course it is. However, in between the bouts of arrogance or perhaps 'over-confidence' displayed by the Scottish press, there have been long spells where we have shown the self deprecating philosophy that we are s***e and we know we are whereas the English media have played the same old record for 40 years whether their team was good or bad at the time.

Past Strips
I actually quite like it ..... but each to their own. If I were to pick the ones I like least (as I dont dislike any of them per say) it would be these two and my favourites would probably be this year's strips - home and away.

Arrogance of the English (media)
I think we should really add a word to this thread title and that is Arrogance of the English MEDIA ...... most English people I know are pretty decent, its the media, commentators and a few tosspots that need a reality check.

Past Strips
Think you might find a few people disagreeing with you on that one simply because it is our most 'historic' top ..... worn against Celtic in 'that' game in 2000 and hastily used as a replacement top again in 2002 when we knocked out Hearts at Tynecastle. [attach=1]

Internet Footie??
For ICT fans at home and abroad, the answer to this is ICT World !!! Virtually every other PTV site has a portion of the site called <club name> World where fans can subscribe to single game coverage, season long coverage, video and audio highlights etc .... for a fee that is pretty reasonable. We should be asking WHY ICT do not have this rather than trying to hunt down pirate footage. I am quite happy to pay my 35 quid a year for licensed coverage.

New Away Shirt
I think if you ask them to send it out they will but if you are desparate for it you can collect it. nowt much wrong with that. You going to get your one posted or collected TCF ?

Internet Footie??
bottom line SP - frustrating as it is because of the ludicrous state of UK/Non-UK media rights that the SPL have in place, we as a site (along with many others) were warned off by the powers that be that showing or providing links to P2P sites or to sites that say they show live coverage is forbidden unless it is one of the SPL/SFA official partners such as the BBC, Setanta, or sites that are used officially by some clubs like Internetfootball.co.uk. Not sure what sanction they could/would actually take against us but to prevent the grief we just said no links. If people want to swap them via private messaging then that is not our concern. I have found (and yes, I have gone looking !!!) that sites tend to fall into 1 of 4 categories 1. Official/Licensed Partners - BBC, Setanta, InternetFootball.co.uk, or "<club> world" on some of the official sites. 2. P2P sites - sites that give details of how to access channels using 3rd party programs like TVAnts, PPMate etc. 3. P2P sites - sites that allow you to watch streaming content on them - sometimes free, sometimes not. 4. Ripoff sites - sites that take a subscription from you and then do the same as numbers 2 or 3 or nothing at all. As far as we are concerned, we have been warned off from allowing links to options 2,3, & 4 from appearing on the site ! I can see where you are coming from when you mention sites that are dodgy or offer poor service, but at the end of the day, if we said it was ok to name sites that people should NOT use, then all that would happen is people would come along and hint at a good site by saying "dont use <site> ... wink wink wink" so its easier for us to just say, no links unless they fall into the licensed partner category.

Are we better than Blackpool?
no real comparison other than to say we have played them once and beaten them once - 1-0 in a pre-season friendly.

A poll on Proctor
Yeah - good luck to him. I seem to remember that most of us thought he was pretty good up until he got his (first) shoulder injury and many thought he wasnt quite the same when he came back from that injury. However, he is definitely annoyed at how things didn't go for him at DUFC and feels he has a point to prove so maybe we will see the best out of him ... as an ICT fan, I hope so : DAILY RECORD

A poll on Proctor
A poll with a yes/no answer and set so you can pick two options ??? - fixed it !!

What song should ICT run out to?

online sportscene issues
SportScene are only allowed to make highlights available to UK viewers. The link that opens in a small media player window will say this to you but the site itself sometimes works for those of us outside UK !

Scottish Cup
ICT dont enter until 4th round

Past Strips
If you can create something similar to the strip icons we use for the next game / last game (but bigger) then that would be awesome. This is what we wanted to do for a while but havent got round to as yet. We are currently working on our stats program and hopefully, we will eventually have a profile of all 130 players to have pulled on an ICT (or CT) shirt as well as the reports from every game. we are a bit behind on this so if anyone wants to help by writing profiles of players from our squad pages, let us know.

That song aimed at Dean Shiels...
We are allowing nothing. The posts had been altered within 15 minutes of you complaining. Considering it is nearly 1-30am in the UK right now, I think that is pretty impressive. keep pushing the buttons though IHE, keep pushing......

Hibernian V ICT - matchday thread
first 5 LEAGUE games each year ...... we have had seasons where we have not won in our first 5 games, but in each of those we have at least got a draw or two .... so yes this is our worst ever start. 94/95 - SFL3 - P5: W4 D0 L1 95/96 - SFL3 - P5: W1 D1 L3 96/97 - SFL3 - P5: W2 D1 L2 97/98 - SFL2 - P5: W0 D3 L2 98/99 - SFL2 - P5: W4 D1 L0 99/00 - SFL1 - P5: W0 D1 L4 00/01 - SFL1 - P5: W1 D0 L4 01/02 - SFL1 - P5: W1 D2 L2 02/03 - SFL1 - P5: W2 D1 L2 03/04 - SFL1 - P5: W2 D2 L1 04/05 - SPL - P5: W1 D0 L4 05/06 - SPL - P5: W2 D2 L1 06/07 - SPL - P5: W0 D3 L2 07/08 - SPL - P5: W0 D0 L5

Hibernian V ICT - matchday thread
this sounds like our best performance so far - at least we are trying ! Niculae needs to be greedy though as it sounds like he has had a few chances.

http://www.caleythistleonline.com/shirts.html havent really done much with it as we have several shirts missing, but all the home ones before this year are there.

Zbigniew Malkowski
Malkowski did very well in his first few months at Hibs. His biggest clangers seem to have come against Hearts and when he went on loan to Gretna he seemed to do ok as well ..... sure Heilandee will recall him saving a penalty against his side ... something that none of our keepers have looked like doing since Jimmy Calder !
-
League Cup next round draw
seeded teams cannot face each other - they will face one of the unseeded teams - means for example we cant draw Celtic or Rangers ! Seedings are based on league positions so we made it into the seedings ahead of Motherwell and Dundee United
-
Zbigniew Malkowski
...... not my favourite keeper, but before we all get lost in a sea of doom and gloom, lets perhaps consider how many players have come to ICT with a less than stellar reputation and have turned things around ..... the aforementioned Darren Dods being one of them !!! Besides, Mike Fraser will still be in goals (hopefully)

Zander/Zander on loan to Elgin (Merged)
I guess the pecking order for the left has Rankin, McBain, Paatelainen & Morgan and for the right it has Wilson, Cowie, Hart & Sutherland so I can see where he is coming from. I would agree that Rankin / Cowie are better in the middle but how do you get them in there without dropping Black or Duncan who make the engine room tick ?
