  1. Don't forget the yellow dots :015:
  2. LG...I could be wrong but I believe the agreements over percentages of each colour to be used only existed for the first 10 years.
  3. Another member of the "old boys club".....just what we need :029:
  4. For someone who seems so intent on seeing Dargo back in an ICT shirt you give a very convincing argument against it!!! He's only just back from injury and early signs seem to indicate that he isn't doing too much. The guy has a drawer in the filing cabinet all to himself for his medical file and whilst we were relatively fortunate whilst he was here I think it's far too much of a risk to be spending money to take him back. Nexttttt.....
  5. I have not seen the player in action so I could not comment on whether or not he would be a good signing, would you mind expanding your thoughts on him and letting us know why he would be such a bad signing and why would he get us relegated? Whoooooooshhhhh :015:
  6. The info is out there regarding the situation if you read with an open mind, although I'm sure someone will spell it out in due course.
  7. Until we see one or two other people removed from positions of authority at the club then I don't think it will matter a jot who the next Chairman is.
  8. You raise a good point RiG and I can't help but feel that the media actually play a part in feeding that kind of behaviour by screening it. A few years ago the media decided/were forced into not showing streakers at sporting events when they took to the field of play and it seems to have vastly reduced the amount of incidents. Not saying that blocking the Sectarian stuff will solve the problem, but it will certainly remove the incentive for doing it to get on the TV which doubtlessly exists. I'm not talking about "hiding the problem away" and forgetting about it, but the less exposure you give these idiots the better.
  9. Very impressed by the manner in which they won the game too. They went out there with the attitude that if they were going to lose goals then they would have to score more and took the game to Aberdeen. Right up until the final whistle they never looked like they were panicking or letting the pressure get to them. A well deserved victory, and I hope we don't get the usual media p!sh whereby they attribute it to a poor display by Aberdeen.
  10. New Home Shirt for next season I believe.
  11. I didn't thi8nk much of the guy to be honest. Yes he probably stood out as one of the best players Gretna had but when he played against us he seemed like all blow and no go, plenty of fancy footwork etc, but very little by way of an end product. Hibs obviously see something in the guy and they can perhaps afford to take a punt on him, unfortunately we can't afford such luxuries and have to spend a little wiser.
  12. "Charles Bannerman and Kingsmill arrested under Anti Terrorism Act for posting bomb making instructions on public forum"
  13. :024: Wonders what might have given you that idea. Their portions are very generous and one meal between two people is ample....even for me.
  14. And pocket :015:
  15. Mr Rice just won the ICA Award for best Chinese Takeaway.
  16. Bus prices in Inverness (and surrounding areas) are among the most expensive in the UK....FACT. Do you realise that when you pay to use a bus, that's actually the second time your paying? Your taxes are already used to pay the subsidies to the companies...StageCoach could run their buses for free and still turn a profit based on the subsidies they get.
  17. I think Black has been very lucky that he has a bit of talent or he would have been shipped out from the club a long time ago for some of his antics. I was one of the ones who thought he should have been heavily punished for his treatment of the shirt last year, to the point that it wouldn't have upset me if he had been shown the door. So, I'm certainly not trying to absolve Black of his responsibility, just making the point that it was perhaps unwise to risk leaving a first team player on the park and risk not having him available for selection. As it turns out the cards may not carry over to the SPL proper, in which case there's no issue with leaving him on the pitch.
  18. A Chairman without the full support of the Board and the staff is on a hiding to nothing and IMO that's the situation Alan Savage found himself in at ICT. I don't for one second believe he was without his faults but he was constantly being undermined and had his hands tied on many things which he wanted to do. I'm a great believer that people should be allowed to succeed or fail by their own means and although I also think that he is/was the wrong type of Chairman for ICT right now, he never really had the opportunity to do things his own way. I haven't always agreed with things Alan Savage has said or done and as Chairman he must accept that the buck stops with him, however I am aware that much of the criticism lumped on him during his time here should have been directed elsewhere and that had it done been for one other person then certainly the relationship between club and fans would not have degenerated to the level it has. All being said, the bottom line is that the last couple of seasons have seen a lot of unrest and instability at ICT, something we've never had before and something which wasn't doing us any favours. Something was going to give and if it had been a straight choice between Alan Savage and someone else then it would have preferred that the other person be shown the door. I've been as critical as the next person about how things have been going, but I still thank Alan Savage for the time he's given to ICT. I now await, with more than a little apprehension, the appointment of our next Chairman.
  19. I don't really care too much what team we put out for the final 5 fixtures so long as the players give 100% and we see some entertaining football. We have a couple of guys who have been told they need to earn new contracts and we have some who we need to get a look at properly to see if they are to be a part of next years squad so the sensible thing would be getting them some time out on the pitch.....so let's see some subs with 20+ minutes still on the clock to give them a chance. However, you have to balance that against the clubs desire to finish as far up the table as possible in order to increase revenue and an extra 60 or 70,000 per place could mean we can have one or two extra players in the squad for next season. Games against Kilmarnock are generally the most entertaining of the season with no shortage of goals and I would love to see us put out a squad where the intention is that if they score 2 then we'll score 3 (just like the Pele days) so I wouldn't be overly upset to see a 3-4-3(2-1) type formation - I'd rather lose 3-4 than 0-1 Rossco - Munro - McBain Cowie - Proctor - Black - Patti Imrie - Niculae Wyness Subs - 4 of the younger lads + Bayne and Wilson Above all else I want to see the team keeping the ball on the ground and playing football. Many people see the remaining fixtures as "meaningless" so if you want the crowds then you have to at least be entertaining.
  20. If it was up to me I'd dig up the A9 at Perth and keep everyone out :001:
  21. 751 is what I thought I heard them say on the radio earlier.
  22. By all accounts it was 2 very soft yellow cards.....and I have to say that if this leads to him missing games for the first team then it's the fault of whoever was managing the reserves and left him on the park after he received the first yellow. To do so with any player who is part of the first team squad is a pointless and stupid risk to be taking.
  23. Not sure about the idea of Brewster with pigtails!!!
  24. Meaowwwww :015:
  25. Are you part of the coaching staff at ICT and as such have been watching him during his last couple of days, or are your observations based on Scotch Mist?
