CB, I may be missing something, but your justifying the treatment (or non-treatment) of ICT's result by North Tonight on the basis that more people were/would be interested in the Dundee Untied result. Exactly when did they move Dundee to the North??? It's a hard enough battle recruiting new fans to ICT as it is, and this kind of media blackout by a programme which is supposed to carry news from this area does very little to help the cause. I have no problem turning on to watch the national news and it being biased towards the better supported teams, but when I tune in to watch a local news programme I expect local news.

Hope they never paid up, especially as you e.mailed me before hand to set it all up :004:

But we did score and the posts aren't different. This was a tremendous result for us at a time where everyone (team and fans) needed a bit of a lift. What's to be served by trying to take the shine off it??? Holding Rangers to a draw would also have been a good result in most people's eyes, and when it comes to playing the OF playing pretty football and getting the result is as uncommon as rocking horse chit. It comes down to grabbing every opportunity you can, regardless of how it comes about. If you can't get a little excited over a win against one of the OF then their really is little hope for you ever getting excited over ANY win. I also don't think anyone thinks this win makes us invincible and it will be back to business as usual next week - but for now, do yourself a favour and enjoy the moment.

Thank God for that, I'd hate to see you if you were really having a go at the team :017:

We have never beaten Aberdeen in a competitive match - One of the newspapers Sunday Post I think it was) also reports that we have now beaten all teams....mkaes you wonder where they got the info from??? :015:

Deffo don't think he is getting the credit he deserves. Have seen several references along the lines of "he bundled the ball in" etc. Would have been easy to chase in and just belt the ball in that position but it was a pretty well composed little flick over the keeper from a tighter angle than it first appears.

what is the average gate these days? About 6'6" tall and 2' wide

Come on guys/gals, how many times do you have to be reminded that kids read this site aswell. If you want to partake in this kind of discussion then use the PRIVATE messaging facility.

Suprising that everyone has interpreted the use of the word "Frustrate" as meaning we are going to sit tight and hit on the break. Surely it would be far more frustrating for Rangers if we were to go out all guns blazing and get the first goal (and perhaps the second aswell)???

We don't always see eye to eye Sandy, but I agree with your sentiments regarding the quality of the article in question. We (IMO) have passed the stage where any match we play against any team in Scotland should be considered a David and Goliath match up. The article comes across as being written by someone who has spent the last 3 years (or more) on planet Mars and has little comprehension of what we have achieved/continue to achieve.

I can see the Courier headlines now....... "FOOTBALL SEASON BRINGS ABOUT CRAVING FOR OLIVES"

A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file. The woman was so curious that she respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" "My husband's." "What happened to him?" The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him." She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?" The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her." A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women. "Can I borrow the dog?" "Get in line."

All people added to the list will be given access to Gringo's diary to see which matches he has planned to attend. This is to ensure they have the maximum amount of notice possible for when they will be required.

Not too many people are aware of the 40mph speed limit for HGV vehicles on single carriageway. It was a speed limit that wasn't firmly enforced until more recently which is why all those Tesco Lorries that used to fly up and down the road at a more "reasonable" speed seem to have slowed down in recent times. The myth that the drivers were on an economy bonus and driving slower to save fuel is one I often hear trotted out as the reason they go so slow these days. So the next time your stuck behind an HGV doing 40, don't get pi55ed at the driver, it's the law of the road that makes him do 40.

From the man who was complaining not so long ago that we already had too many forums :006:

We're all guilty of doing/having done something stupid on the road at some time or other and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar. With the number of people travelling on these roads, even if each person only did one stupid thing every once in a blue moon thats still a lot of stupid incidents. As others have said, the road is not to blame, when I was taught to drive it was drilled in to me that you adjust your driving to suit the conditions/roads you are on, to suggest they alter the roads to suit people's driving is just bizarre logic in my mind. Frustration, confusion etc etc are no excuse for driving like an idiot. If you aren't capable of adjusting then you shouldn't be on the road. I agree that the A9 should be duelled from end to end, but not because I think it will stop bad driving, I think it needs done purely due to volume of traffic and the need to move that traffic more efficiently up and down the A9. By duelling the road you don't solve the problem of bad driving you just give people more space to drive badly on. You also have tackle the underlying problem - the driver.

Sure I read somewhere (Daily Record?) that he was going to be getting somewhere in the region of £5000/week in total with the largest portion of it being funded by some kind of book deal.

M8: JUNCTION 26 UPGRADES TO BARRIERS BRING SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS Starting at 8pm on Friday 6 October, new safety barriers are being installed on M8 at junction 26 (Braehead) and drivers should be aware that the necessary traffic management will affect journey times. The works, part of an on-going programme of safety improvements, include doubling the height of the barriers at junction 26. The existing barriers have worn over time and this upgrade ensures that the new double height barriers being installed meet modern safety standards. These works are the latest phase of a programme of safety improvements delivered by Amey on behalf of Transport Scotland. Other work, completed earlier this year, included replacement of the central reserve and upgrades to other barriers in the same area. During these works, traffic will reduce to two lanes in either direction and all slip roads remain open. Traffic restrictions will be removed before the busy commuter period on Monday morning. Drivers should leave plenty of extra time to make their journeys. This is particularly important for people travelling to the Scotland v France match at Hampden Park on 7 October. Bruce Donaldson, Amey’s unit manager for south west Scotland said: “Throughout the works we will maintain two lanes during the busiest periods but, with a number of events taking place around Glasgow, we strongly recommend drivers plan ahead and leave plenty of time to get through the traffic management”.

That was my precise response to my boss when asked if I would be interested in driving supporters buses for OF fans. Think he thought I was joking to start with :015:

Just a reminder that each poster is responsible for their own comments made on this forum. The allegation made in this statement is pretty serious and I would also highlight that we (the site owners) would be legally obliged to provide the club/authorities/police with any and all information we have pertaining to the identity of any person making such comments/allegations. If they are true and you can prove it, then you have little to worry about. If you can't you may want to reconsider your comments and remove them from the forum yourself.

Designated seating is also an SPL rule. All tickets the club sell MUST have a seat number on them, thats not to say that you have to sit there of course, and other than the "Big" games their is plenty of room to move around so no excuse for sitting like Johnny No Mates just because your ticket has a specific seat number on. Also, I wouldn't want to see designated seating abolished. Defeats half the purpose of buying a season ticket which many people do to guaranteee their seat in a certain area or next to (away from) certain people.

reads like it should be to the tune of Mambo #5 Was thinking that, or it'a a version of BtB I'm not familiar with (highly possible....honest!!!)

When did we sign Ferguson Harry? :015: :015: :015: Wilson!! I obviously have the up coming Scotland game in my head Letting your true colours show their Mr Chibber :024:

Found the perfect bus - Biiiiiiiiigggg Bus All we need to do is find 74 people willing to pay £400/seat +fuel and we're laughing.
