Beat me to it...

Not finalised yet, but wheels are in motion for production of a double DVD.

Just a shame it's all been printed upside down...!!! It's ok if you turn your phone the other way round That's good news....thanks.

Just as soon as someone gets around to processing them. With us being back so soon for Euro preparations the office staff are all trying to squeeze in some well deserved holiday time so resources are a wee bit shorter than normal. They will be out in plenty of time for the new season though.

Just a shame it's all been printed upside down...!!!

If by "full strength" you mean a league plagued with teams over-spending to achieve then you can keep it. For the first season in many, many years I've had a real interest in games beyond our own. Part of that is obviously down to what ICTFC have been achieving and keeping a closer eye on the competition, but the fact that it's been an "honest" season without teams spending beyond their means has also played a large part. I'm thoroughly looking forward to another season of the same.

Contract News..... http://ictfc.com/news/team-news/1557-new-deal-for-cup-heroes

Does that include Calum Ferguson then? He seems to be in a bit of a grey area in this regard. Interesting though that he wasn't on the bench for the Celtic game. One would think that suggests that he's leaving the building (provided he wasn't injured of course). Bare in mind, Jason Brown and Ali Sutherland have signed new deals and were on the bench, but Baptie has not been offered a deal and wasn't. Wonder if the same can be said for Ferguson then? I don't know for certain what the contract scenario is with the U20's. I do know that he is/was injured though (had been for a few weeks), hence the reason he wasn't included in the squad for Celtic.

Remember that all first team squad players who are out of contract HAVE been offered new deals by the club. Any players who may move on are doing so of their own volition.

I've got 200+ pics of the crowd that I took from the bus on Sunday....do you want to put these in a separate/sub folder? Still working through my match day pics...got about 1100 of them, but I will whittle it down a bit before uploading.

If you want ICTFC to win....you're a fan....simples!!!

Oh feck....that's me away again.

Not saying Aberdonians are tight....but maybe just saving themselves a months wages

£2.50 a drink? Extortion! You'll get most drinks far cheaper than that any night of the week in the ICT Social Club! Now there's another dimension. If a larger percentage of an increased fan base could be persuaded to offer their pub allegiance to one of the cheapest establishments in town, the football club would also benefit since it is the overwhelming beneficiary of Social Club profits. Isn't the social club a private members club, invitation only. with a locked door. Wasn't the club sold to a director to create extra funds. I'm not sure how this would help the club. Having x amount of people wearing ICT tops behind closed doors hardly raises the profile of the club. This degree of misunderstanding about the Social Club is worrying. The Social Club is indeed a members' club and so cheap to join (I've forgotten exactly what the annual fee is because I became a life member years ago) that you can LITERALLY recoup your membership fee through the first two nights' cheap drink. It also has a very efficient "signing in" policy which means that, for instance on match days, there is frequently a large presence there of non-member fans and people from hospitality, for whom there is sometimes also a bus from the stadium. However it's the ownership issue that tends to be the worst understood. About 5 years ago the premises were sold to then director Graeme Bennett and leased back by the football club/ Social Club board. Presumably at the time it was considered preferable to have the cash in hand and to pay rent instead. This, however, does not alter the fact that the arrangement continues to be that the Social Club is run by a board and profits are still ploughed into the football club. Graeme Bennett, apart from the rent he receives as a return for his cash up front, has no other financial interest in the social club and does not participate in its running. I would therefore much prefer to have x amount of people in ICT tops, or indeed in any other kind of top (bar the two which would need to be proscribed), either signed in or as members, drinking in there and hence making more money available to the football club. I really do think that there is not enough realisation among ICT fans that every time they use the Social Club, and at prices lower or indeed much lower than elsewhere, they are contributing directly to the finances of the football club. Almost correct Charles...the premises were bought by the pension fund of Graeme Bennett. Might seem a small technicality, but it does mean that the Trustees/Administrators of the pension are the landlords and GB has no dealings with, or say in, anything.

Majority of contracts are done until the end of May...hence the reasons there was a bit of panic among clubs at possibility of play-off games running in to June. Purely as an example scenario..... Imagine if Shinnie was signed with us until end of June....Aberdeen will be back for pre-season mid way through the month to prepare for Euro matches. Would ICTFC let him train with Aberdeen? The obvious answer is that you would hope they wouldn't stop him....however it's not that simple as he would still be insured as an ICTFC player and we'd be liable if he were to get injured. What's more, he couldn't transfer as the transfer window isn't open and he needs to be signed by them to be covered by their insurance etc. For that to happen outside the transfer window he needs to be a free agent....hence why contracts, for the most part, expire at the end of May.

Has been suggested at SP(F)L before and never got the support of enough clubs to make it a goer. Suggestions, such as reciprocal discounts for away fans tend not to garner much support from clubs either because offering cheaper tickets to away fans tends not to go down too well with home fans and/or you run the risk of home fans going in the away end to save themselves a few quid.

Hi Uncle Roy...!!!!

I'n not a fan of flare players.

I'm really, really hoping I don't get time off for the Euro fixtures.

I think you gents could be right.

Do you mean someone from the team S.V. Vesta? A few South Americans there. I couldn't find any players with that surname. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.V._Vesta Pretty sure it was the name of the striker....first name was a bird or birdlike word, Sparrow or Starling or something like that.

Apparently we're after a South American guy. Don't have his full name, but it's an S. Vesta. Unfortunately my knowledge of football beyond Scotland is pretty non-existent, so haven't a clue who he is or who he plays/played for.
