I have a major complaint to make to anyone in admin. I went to the player of the year section of the site to post my 3 best players of the day and to my dismay it wouldn't let me give 5,3 and 1 points to the Falkirk keeper. This is something that should be amended immediately as he was by far our best player today :003:

Yeh, for the 3rd goal the free kick was just in front of my brother and I and we were both shouting to Rankin "Shoot, just shoot, the keeper is shocking just get a shot on target and it might go in." Any shot on or off target today the keeper made look dangerous.

I thought Rankin didn't play well today but took 2 brilliant free-kicks (sounds like a Beckham type performance). Kencar, he (Rankin) did move to the middle of the park when Hart came on. Which BTW I think is a shame for Hart as Rankin is a least left footed was moved from wide left to accommodate Hart on the left. Surely it would make more sense to just have a straight swap with Hart for McBain as Hart is not a winger or even left footed.

First post for me for a while, but I just had to comment on THAT keeper. What a plonker!! I have just seen the highlights on Sentanta and the 3rd goal looks even worse on the tv. Without doubt that is the worst performance I have ever seen from a keeper at the Caley stadium - yes even worse than Les Fridge against Ayr Utd in the cup. He should have definitely got the man of the match award from the match day sponsor (just for a laugh). Lets not be fooled ICT were abysmal for 70 minutes of the game, but when we finally decided to attack them Falkirk fell apart. Question for anyone - If you were the Falkirk manager what could you say to the keeper after that performance?? Does anyone know if the keeper has a fan club because I would like to join it as he was funnier than most standup comics I have seen :notworthy01:

Thanks Alistair!

Did we decide on a definitive answer?? Is the goal-kick retaken?

I've tried to find a rule on this and found that "once the ball is kicked no player is allowed to touch the ball until it leaves the box". So this is an infringement, but can't find out if the kick is retaken or if an indirect free kick is awarded. (Although I think TM4TJ could be right with his retake guess)

:015:

Can anyone tell me what the official ruling is for the following scenario :- A team has a bye kick which the keeper takes, but when he kicks the ball it hits his centre-half on the back of the head (who is still inside his own box). The ball then goes straight to his right back. Is this an indirect free kick inside the box where the ball hit the centre-half, as you can not pass to someone in the box? or are you supposed to just play on as it was not intentional? Cheers

I have to admit that at the Scotland game from the Caley stadium I thought that none of the ICT boys played very well, and apart from Naysmith I thought Miller was Scotland's best player that night I thought Dargo and Brown were poor and Blacky certainly did himself no favours, that said over the season they have been very consistant.

I also thought that Dargo could have got into the SPL team of the season, which was on Scotsport SPL. Instead they picked Riordan who got one less goal, even though he is playing for a better team. BTW I watched Hostage (with Bruce Willis) the other day and one of the main characters on that is called Walter Smith, pointless information I know, I just thought I would share it. :003:

I agree that Rory should go out on loan as IMHO he is far from a SPL player at the moment. A spell at a lower league team would do him good, it certainly worked a few years ago for the Ginger Whinger (Forfar I think)

Anyone know the official attendance today?

Unfortunatly it did not show/mention this on Sentanta sports :roll:

Golly has a lot still to offer to us, even if he is not in the starting line-up he is a great guy to have for cover. IMHO an in form Golly is better than an inform Hastings, although I take the point that he (golly) has not been playing to his potential this season.

I think the reason we missed the voting forms CaleyD was because we were in about 5 or 6 minutes late and they must have gone by that point. I'm glad Doddsy won though.
