For once we see someone saying they want to extend their deal it ICT and it happens to be one of the best signings we have made in years ..... so what if it means he wants a pay rise ... perhaps he deserves it ..... time for the manager and/or DoF to get the pen and paper out and extend this deal ASAP.

Romania for me and if Niculae makes the final squad we may just have a special logo for the duration.

We thought it might be a good idea to create a forum where we could discuss Euro 2008 ..... regardless of Marius' involvement. This forum is temporary from now and for the duration of the tournament, when the topics will be moved back into non-ict forums .....

for those of you in the UK at least ... for the rest of us its a dodgy P2P feed :004:

2-2 ... QOS right back in it after being 0-2 down

Not sure what the total amount will be but 75k is the difference between places. i.e if 12th get 500k then 11th will get 575k and so on up to 7th. Think the differences are a bit more in top half. Every team gets 4% of the sponsorship revenue guaranteed (48%). The rest of the money is dependent on where you finish. 12th = 0.5% 11th = 1.0% 10th = 1.5% 9th = 2.0% 8th = 2.5% 7th = 3.0% 6th = 3.5% 5th = 4.0% 4th = 4.5% 3rd = 5.5% 2nd = 11.0% 1st = 13.0% For 2007/08, think the difference per place is about 80K

no argument there. He was banging them in in div2 but previously couldnt do it in Div1 or SPL .... maybe he has improved and/or matured but still very unproven ... not what I would call an inspired "top target". Not sure who is out there, who is available, or who is willing to come to ICT given our location (the usual excuse) and our recent reputation (right or wrong) for shoddy treatment of players but I would like to think there might be a few decent bodies available. If not, then why did/do we **** around with people who were proven at SPL level As Caley100 mentioned, there is the small matter of 75K per place. The manager has to put out what he considers to be the best team he can. I am all for trying out these youngsters but there has to be a balance between players who already have SPL experience and those who we hope will have lots of that experience in the (near) future. I have heard numerous stories about various things this season, but one that kept coming back to me from different sources was that Brewster had to deal with a sizeable amount of "resistance" from various parties when he first returned. He is not going to be popular when trying to break up cliques, or when he changes training routines so they are more "professional". I also dont blame him if he did (as rumoured) go nuts when one or two players were (allegedly) excused training to go to a Champions league match !!! As with most stories, there are always two sides .... and the moans and groans we heard were usually coming from only one of those ! not officially ... although our first manager Sergei Baltacha did leave at the end of our first season to make way for Steve Paterson. Some say he was sacked, others say it was "mutual consent" but if he didnt go then he probably would have been sacked I am no big Brewster fan ... having moved from the fervently anti-Brew camp to the Undecided camp .... but sometimes a lot of us (myself included) dont see the full picture until we step back and have a wider look .... got told a few things during my trip back to Inverness that made me do that !

presented to shareholders at the AGM. There was a topic elsewhere discussing this, and a few others where it was mentioned, but I am too busy to go searching for it right now.

- I further predict that a couple of those new faces will actually be quite old and sitting in the stand rather than on the pitch :004: I know I wont be FARR wrong there, eh Scarlet :015: :015:

Wrong .... your "crime" has more to do with laughing at Donald Park than anything to do with Brewster .... nevermind though, the mods are ready to help you when she arrives .... :hiding03: Neil Warnock was never a candidate .... not seriously anyway. It was all spin, and although we bought it initially it was soon shown to be yet another piece of misinformation from upstairs. Whether you believe Warnock was a willing participant in this spin will very much depend on who you speak to. Like a few other posters on here, I am slowly coming around to the idea that many (but not all) of the problems we have seen this year are not CB's fault. He has to shoulder the blame for a few things - and I think we have discussed these to death - but a lot of what has been going on has been beyond his control and must sit fairly and squarely on the shoulders of those in the boardroom and to some extent, the dressing room. There seems to have been a lot of "politics" going on and more than one "pissing match" and this has percolated through the whole stadium like the flow from a trough with a broken pipe on a matchday (sorry best 'pee' analogy i could think of). There are egos at play here (in both boardroom and dressing room) and I just hope the new chairman (and the manager) is able to rise above it all and be allowed to do his job with minimal interference from anyone as the alternative is another season like this (or worse). If either of them has to bang heads together, then I hope they are not afraid to do so.

We find loads to moan about but if this works as it should then WELL DONE ICT. Its only been six years since the project started but the main thing is that it appears to be nearing completion.

There was another thread discussing this and i made my comments in there ... but basically I think its a great incentive marred by one quirk of pricing which I queried and was told was correct. I do not have a problem with excluding the OF games from the offer. The adults get their tickets for that game and the kids get first refusal on the ticket for their seat so for a total of 3 premium games of the season the club are asking the kids to pay, the other 16 games are FREE. If you cannot cope with that problem, and happen to be eligible for a concession ST, then I suggest you take advantage of the "pricing quirk" which will allow you to buy a concession and child ticket for the Family enclosure (including OF tickets) for 180 as opposed to buying an adult and free child for 210 and having to pay for child tickets for the 3 OF games !!!

Marica still struggling to be fit according to the Courier

I think its the same info but the club sent me this email and asked that it be posted ..... apologies for the lateness but its a bank holiday here today and only just getting to the computer now ..... The ICT ticket office has been inundated today (Monday) by fans seeking tickets for Barry Wilson's testimonial match against a Liverpool XI on August 18th - and none has been more enthusiastic than the Liverpool fan who turned up at the stadium at 6:20 this morning! Tickets have gone on public sale today for both home and away stands and there has been an instant response. In addition to a huge attendance from home based fans, a number of Liverpool supporters are expected to come to the game. Tickets are still available for all parts of the ground, both at the ticket office which will now remain open until 6pm this evening and over the telephone. The Testimonial Committee are asking anyone making phone applications to be patient since the en tire system is very busy and is reminding fans that early purchase will give the best chance of good seats.

and perhaps the truth will also come out :004: Its been alluded to often enough in the last few weeks ..... I was delighted to have seen (with my own eyes) Marius put in a great shift in the Killie game, kiss the flag etc ..... and would be delighted if he was here next season. A full pre-season under his belt after starring for Romania in the Euros might get him off to a flyer ...... Sadly, I think quite a few posters on here are correct and Marius will be elsewhere next season ... not because he wants to be but because the club (or certain people within the club) dont want him to be there. And ... It has nothing to do with wages !!! Whether he stays or goes, I wish him well and will be hoping for the Romanians to do well at the Euros against those pesky French and Italians who denied Scotland a place ....

All 90 minutes of the 3-0 victory over Killie a few weeks ago .... has to be, considering I actually saw this one in person :001:

alrighty .... thats all the site updates done for now, the results and tables all updated etc .... so now its off to the pub for me then Toronto FC V Columbus Crew at 4PM Toronto time (9pm for you guys :004:) ......
