Exiled ICT

Really? That's actually pathetic

But will he be? He still has a lot to prove at this level I feel, his record as an SPL striker isn't great and I'd be worried if all our hopes were pinned on Denzil next season. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier if he made me eat my words but I just feel that he's not gonna be the saviour that everyone hopes.

And you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. I just take issue with the fact that a player is instantly hated just for leaving. Yes, circumstances dictate how individual players are treated after they have left but a lot of people's attitudes appear to be that as soon as a player leaves they are an instant hate figure, regardless of how they left. I can remember Wyness being booed at Tynecastle after he left. I nearly lost it! :008: I can understand that the Dargo situation has dragged on for too long and that people are clouded by this but if you were to take his 12 goals away from this season , where would we have finished?

I bet you weren't calling him a wee shyte when he was banging them in over the past two seasons! The arrogance of some people on here is shocking, "oh he'll never be as good as he was here!" How the **** do you know? He played two years for us and scored a number of important goals and I for one wish him all the luck in the world wherever he goes. And no doubt if he stays in the SPL the small minded amongst our support will jeer his every touch against us, just completely forgetting that without his goals we could have been a lot closer to relegation than we were. Get a grip and grow up! :008:

The BBC are showing them I believe, although with one game kicking off at around 3am you'll have to be dedicated to wake up to watch it!

Get a grip! Leeds pay premiership wages, I'd doubt if any Leeds move to scotland let alone ICT

Dear Mr. Domenech, On behalf of the population of Scotland I would urge you to pick this world class defender at Hampden next Saturday so that we can all have the pleasure of witnessing his talents in the flesh. We all like to see the top players playing for ourselves and it would be a real pleasue to have him grace the Hampden pitch. Yours Sincerely, Ecosse

Aye right!

Uruguay are the current Unofficial World Champions, although Scotland are the most successful team in this competition! Unofficial World Champions

I'd be quick on the phone if your wanting a ticket, over 30,000 sold already!

So why sign him? :017: Is it just signing for signing's sake? I can't believe we have signed this duffer, what has he got to offer? "Oh but he's played for Scotland" aye, 2 caps and a total of 83 minutes 7 years ago! Your telling me you'd rather have a 35 year old has been on the bench instead of a youg striker out the reserves? Yes McSwegan's got experience but how do you get experience? I'd much rather use the reserve and u-19 strikers as back up instead of 35 year olds signed for a year to take wages away. And if he's only back-up, why not take him just until January? That way he covers the "crisis" and we can get a decent striker in the Transfer Window?

Steven Caldwell but no Stephen McManus, seems a strange one to me. And where's Riordan? He's not in either squad.

Yup, it's the one your friend came out of! :015: Did you not spot that fine looking establishment?

someones had an interesting summer :016: I deny all allegations!!

I think the title of the thread alluded to it and the fact that you've called it his biggest test so far, losing one game. If you have no problem with CC then why even raise this topic? If you have no problem then there's no need to discuss it. And is this how you conduct all your discussions? I make a couple of points you don't agree with and you result to name calling, nice!

Feckin ****!! :008: We lose one game and Christie's under pressure? Think you should go give up following football if thats your attitude to every defeat. How is it the biggest test? He's lost games before, and I'd much rather lose a couple of games now than when we need results in about 25/30 games time. I've seen some stupid posts in my time, but thats up there wi the best o them!

It's one thing to play well in friendlies against much lesser opposition than to turn it on in the SPL. CC would have been looking at him as a player overall, ie how he is in training, how he conducts himself, attitude, how he fits in with the rest of the squad etc. He might not be right for ICT and I'll trust CC on those decisions, he is the manager after all. A couple of good games against part time teams ain't much good to ya at Parkhead or Ibrox!

I'm guessing Parratt's not in the Scotland Under-19 squad in Poland this week then?

Umm, no! A agent agrees a contract with a player to be his representative in handling transfers and new contracts. Therefore the agent is an "employee" of that player so any fees the agent wants should come from the player's own pocket. ICT are buying John Rankin the player, not Tom Callaghan the agent. Like Pele said to McGarry, he's your agent so either you pay him or feck aff!!

Anyone know when we're actually playing a game? Once again the silence is deafening from ICT, they can somehow tell the Record who we're playing but can they tell the fans? Oh no, that'd be far too nice and sensible an idea!

Where abouts in Yorkshire are ya?

What's wrong with having both on Sunday? One at the current 2pm slot and one at 4pm? At least then there should still be decent crowds as it is a weekend as opposed to an evening game. If they're both in different police areas (which I imagine they will be) then there's no problem. Works for Sky!

I'm sure it was Benbecula we thumped 8-1 in 2003. Even Robbo played! Didn't we play two games in Orkney a few years ago when we had Kisnorbo training with us before he signed for Hearts? Think we spanked one o their teams 11-0 or something!

Whilst on the subject of buying and club shops? Why do the photos on the club shop look so amateurish? They look like they've been taken in someones bedroom, badly! In fact why does everything ICT do appear to be cobbled together half heartedly? "We're having an official strip launch" - What we really mean is we'll take a (bad) picture of Tokely on the pitch and that's it! Oh we'll also forget to mention anything about the price or where to buy it "We've launched an online shop" - What we really mean is we've taken bad photos on Morag's old polaroid and scanned them in a bit wonky and you can buy wonderful items such as thankyou cards and wrapping paper, but useful things like season tickets and match tickets................ummm no! That's far too 20th century

I'm not sure about ITV, but the EBC will have an option to turn off the commentary and hear only crowd noise so that will save me punching Motty through the TV! And at the end of the day, every TV and Radio does have an off button! p.s. You could do what I'll be doing to avoid their first game, and the worst of the commentary, watch Scotland take on the Springboks on Saturday at 2pm! :021:
