Yup. Robbo is co-commentator 3595 attendance just announced

see 2 posts above yours. Rooney / Barrowman combination sounding quite good. Hibs 3-2 Falkirk at ER ... very entertaining sounding game

Sounded like he had an easy clearance to make but it squirmed under his foot and into the path of Offiong. Also sounds like it was others at fault that he got as far up the field though !!!! Rooney on for Duncan at HT (hamstring injury)

seemed to come from nowhere, even commentator description was **** because they were probably turning round getting ready for the HT pies

**** - Offiong in 45 mins 0-1. Duff error.

you mean on internet radio ? nope, no problem here, loud and clear via link above

listen live via Radio Scotland http://bbc/co/uk/radioscotland for score updates SKY is probably better http://live.skysports.com/ScoreCentre/live.html

I enjoyed it !!! Thought Heath Ledger put in a decent and menacing performance but not falling into the 'lets give him an oscar' crowd.

Toronto midfielder Maurice Edu looks likely to be playing at Rangers in the next week or so !! According to various blogs on this side of the pond, as well as the TFC fans website and such esteemed publications as the Glasgow Evening Times, MLS have agreed to the transfer in principle (they own the rights to all players in MLS) and Toronto FC and Rangers have agreed a fee in the region of $5m (?2.5m roughly). The way MLS transfers work, TFC will get 67% of it and MLS get 33%. TFC are then allowed to use a certain amount of it towards 'allocation money' ($500k) - that money can be used to sign players or to pay a player a bit extra so that their official wage is under the salary cap ..... the remaining cash ($2.85m) is supposed to be used for 'development'. Edu was the MLS young player of the year last year and I have a feeling that after an initial struggle, he may be quite good at Rangers ... IF he can get used to the goldfish bowl that is Glasgow and also keep his ego in check !!!

For those that think we are doing nothing to sign a defender (and you may be right, I dont know) ....... can I ask you one question ....... Did you know we were going to sign Rooney on a three year deal as opposed to a loan ? No ? Neither did the rest of us. The club have shown - for once - that they can conduct business quietly and that is definitely a positive. I will criticise them where it is due, but this time I have to praise them as they got it right. I am sure Brewster has his eye out for a decent defender to bolster the squad but he is either doing it quietly (so as not to alert other teams) or he quite simply has not found anyone who is (i) available, (ii) better than what we have, and (iii) affordable.

Clyde V County draw @ 3.40

Won't know if I can get the coverage until the links go up or not .... they used to be up several days beforehand with a disclaimer to say "only available in UK" for games we wouldnt get. Be nice if they still did that so I could plan my weekend (or look for alternatives ) The open-mic was sometimes available to overseas listeners and sometimes not, hopefully the rules surrounding that are clearer now. Its not perfect, but at the end of the day, its decent enough if you cant get live coverage of the actual game. I even hear your dulcet tones from time to time Charles even if you are somewhat more refined than some of the ones screaming "goal at <insert ground>".

50k quoted to me from several sources so think that may be a bonafide number. http://www.stokecityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/pag...1367455,00.html

Ok, we are quick to hand out negative comments so for once let me just say a big well-done to all concerned. This guy looks like he has potential, we have heard mostly good things about him and although it seemed to be dragging on a bit in regards to finalising his loan deal, we now know that it took so long because we have actually signed the lad on a three year deal

SPL announced a few already ...... They dont currently have a TV game listed for that week and all are shown as 3PM on the Saturday but I would think that Hibs V Hearts might be the prime candidate .... unless of course they move us to the Monday ? They do however say CONFIRMED FIXTURE CHANGES Sunday September 21 Kilmarnock v Celtic - 4pm Live on Setanta Sports Sunday September 28 Hibernian v Rangers - 2pm Live on Setanta Sports Sunday October 5 St Mirren v Rangers - 2pm Live on Setanta Sports Saturday October 25 Hamilton Accies v Rangers - 12.30pm Live on Setanta Sports Sunday November 9 Kilmarnock v Rangers - 2pm Live on Setanta Sports Wednesday November 12 Motherwell v Rangers - 7.45pm Live on Setanta Sports Sunday November 16 Hamilton Accies v Celtic - 2pm Live on Setanta Sports Saturday November 29 Hearts v Rangers - 12.30pm Live on Setanta Sports

no work permit, no play, not even as a trialist ..... think back to this time last year with Marius !

Definitely wishing them all the best tonight. I too have a soft spot for QOS after having a good few nights bevvying with their fans during our climb up the divisions ......

Fair play to Brewster - He doesnt seem to be afraid to take a player on trial but tell him he is not good enough if that proves to be true !!! The source does however get one thing wrong !!! Guy Kerr has played for the first team. He replaced Ian Black in the 85th minute of the 6-1 victory over Gretna on 3rd May 2008.

Its quite simple really. People cannot vote more than once using the same account as the voting is not cookie based it is account based. We do not allow guests to vote as they dont have accounts. If someone has multiple accounts then yes, theoretically, they can vote more than once by logging in to the different accounts and voting. As for detection - its manual, we simply check that the same voter has not selected the same option more than once. Its usually a mistake, but if we find any user abusing it or trying to rig the polls by registering multiple accounts we can and will remove the ability to vote in polls on a user by user basis. We pretty well know which users have multiple accounts and what usernames they go under so we will keep an eye out for this type of 'freeping' Its not a perfect system, and for us, its not as easy as the system we used last year, but until something better comes along, it will do.

I would recommend this section as the first place to start reading ..... http://caleythistleonline.com/club-guide/ict-history

I like the neckline - far prefer v-neck to the round neck but the downside is the collar, it looks like a somewhat subdued throwsback to the 70s ! (mantis will explain ) Here's the pic for those that cant be bothered going to the other link

What is "a high number" ? 10, 20, 50 ? I know a few who have (or have had) varying degrees of hatred towards ICT because of the merger. Some like Kavs or Mr Douglas have stuck to their guns and vowed not to set foot inside the stadium and I can respect that, others have found they couldnt do without football despite having varying degrees of animosity towards the way the merger happened and some of the figures involved and I can respect that too. At the end of the day, ICT is not Caley nor is it Thistle, it is the product of their union. ICT has its own fans and has no right to expect or demand that followers of the former teams fall into line and support them. I and many others chose to move onwards from following Caley to supporting ICT and I would hope that those who chose not to can respect my decision in the same way that I respect theirs.

Where's the shudder smilie

As much as I am critical of certain aspects of Brewster's management, I think he does have a good eye for a player and he has shown during this close season that he either has contacts or is prepared to look outside the normal comfort zone of Dingwall for bodies to enhance the side.... Rooney from Stoke, Bechan from Spanish side 'Hercules', Wagaluka from Uganda !!! With the exception of Rooney, we dont know if the others are any good but it does show he is prepared to look wherever necessary to bolster the squad. I think we all know that we need to strengthen the defence as that now seems to be our weakest area (especially if we get Rooney) and it would be folly to assume that Brewster doesnt know that as well. The fact that he is saying something else in public is inconsequential. I am guessing that our apparent lack of activity on that front is down to two or three factors .... Duff impressing CB, A lack of quality available at a price we can afford, and maybe, just maybe, ICT doing their research in silence for once (a very positive move).
