Correct it is!

We changed into white the last time we were away at Dens.

I see it's been confirmed as Tuesday 24th September. Just out of interest, what'll happen with the shirts? Dundee's dark blue will clash with our home jersey, while the black kit would clash even worse. Will both teams line up in their away jerseys, or will the white kit make a re-appearance?

Maybe it's a new slogan we need. I remember about a decade ago, one of the newspapers referred to ICT as something along the lines of "the most entertaining team in Britain". Maybe we need something like that on the posters. "Come and see Britain's/Scotland's/the World's most attacking/entertaining/exciting team!" If you market it like that, and make sure people know they're going to see something exciting, they might be more inclined to go.

Not sure one can say Butcher has assembled a full squad. ?? He certainly has a fine first 11. Not much on the bench though, unless somebody knows different? If we ge injuries or suspensions what can we do about it. The squad seems wafer thin to me. I am told rightly or wrongly that free transfers and loan players can be signed after the deadline if the club has room on the registration forms. We really ought to be looking for back ups. This is not a troll I am genuinly concerned with the bench. You're either a troll, or extremely stupid.

^^^ Has not seen Motherwell this season.

You could actually argue with the current attendances, that we have one stand too many!

Can't quite grasp the logic myself. "Hey, there's loads of scaffolding over there! What should we do?" "I know, build a stand!"

In a word, no.

Pushed off the what? Plant pot? Biscuits? Helicopter?

Having seen the penalty incident back, his hand is up, but the ball whacks the side of his head! They'll win that appeal no problem.

Good display, kept the ball well, but should have had a heck of a lot more goals when you consider the amount of shots and chances we had. Have to agree with Butcher about the penalty, and I was saying it at the time. I think I'm right in saying Mckay's missed his last three penalties, and I've never been that convinced by his ability with them, even the ones that he's scored. I wouldn't have him taking them again, unless quite a few players missing the next time one comes up.

You're right about the adult prices being in line (still too much across the board IMO but never mind), but had a quick look there and quite a few SPFL clubs seem to have their concession prices around the £11 mark. Now that's more like it.

I think if we're wanting to bring in more people more regularly, the match ticket prices have to be looked at again. I know money's tight and whatnot, but some of the prices are a bit much IMO. An adult ticket for the North Stand for tomorrow is £21, while a concession is £16. Now that's a bit much. A few weeks ago, I got a side-on view from the upper tier at Tannadice as a concession for £12, while it was £10 for the lower tier. Now that's more like it. If you want new or casual fans to pick up the ICT bug, you're going have to get them through the gates in the first place, and in the casual fans case, going much more than they are now. I wonder though in some cases if the prices for matches are putting some people off.

We had him for about three games before he threw the toys out of the pram when was informed he wasn't going to start the next match. This was made even worse when he was then told he was going to travel to Brora to play in a North of Scotland Cup match with the U20 team! He wasn't really missed.

Was there not someone on here for a while who'd written and recorded their own new song? It was called "Coming Home" or something?

Was there not talk a couple of months ago, of Butcher looking to bring in another loan signing from Arsenal towards the end of the transfer window? In saying that, I don't think there's really any need to bring anyone in now to be honest.

Brill Raven Warren Meekings Shinnie Draper Foran Doran Vincent Ross Mckay Subs - Esson, Devine, Watkins, Allen, Adgestein, Polworth, Tremarco/Williams

6 looks like Polworth, 11 is Greenhalgh, 9 is Adgestein, 7 is Evans, 8 is Pepper, 10 is Allen, 2 is Jay Cheyne (I think!)

Away to Dundee!

Against Elfsborg, Celtic defended very poorly against long throws and were almost outdone by them on one occasion. Against Shaktar Karagandy, Celtic again defend long throws poorly and concede their first goal from one. On Saturday, Josh Meekings, who has a long throw, is given the role of throw in taker in the first half and uses the long throw (something we haven't used since Munro in the Christie/Brewster days) and we score the second goal from it. That's good tactics from Butcher and the management team.

Is Allen still injured and is Tremarco still banned? It'd be good if the Hearts v Raith game tonight goes into extra time as well IMO.

Your post lacks cohesion and clarity. What are you trying to say? No matter how much you bleat my opinion will not change. We have great board who apply a great deal of dilligence to the governance of our team. Our role should not be to help finance Heart's successes of the past few years. It is none of our business. Have you conducted due dilligence on this organisation that you are proposing to finance. Do you even know who they are? You clearly have not got any background in business or economics. 1. The offer protects ICT's financial position as income from the average visiting club is ring-fenced. i.e. no split of income will be offered from the first 650 tickets. 2. The club will benefit to the tune of £15 for every additional (full paying) Hearts fan that attends as a result of the offer. 3. Your claims that this somehow supports a corrupt regime are unfounded. 4. Yes, as a matter of fact I did do some due diligence on the 1874 Fighting Fund...maybe you should too before digging yourself a deeper hole. 5. Qualified as a Financial Consultant aged 18, held position as Senior Compliance Auditor, Senior Risk Management Officer, Head Analyst (Change Management), Project Manager (Change Management)...all for a major banking group. Does that count as having a sufficient background in business or economics to allow me to comment on this subject? All for a major banking group? Check you out! All for a major banking group? That instills trust in us all oh wise one. All for a major banking group? I would be keeping that to myself sonny after the recent performance of MAJOR BANKING GROUPS. You could be unemployable with a CV like that my boy. Especially if you are now backing UKIOS Bank Group. Sorry in answer to question number 5 you are probably the last person I would ask on this subject. ALL FOR A MAJOR BANKING GROUP. Who the feck do you think you are? HE SHREDS WHEN HE WANTS HE SHREDS WHEN HE WANTS FRED THE SHRED WORKS FOR THE BANK HE WORKS FOR THE BANK HE WORKS FOR THE BANK TRUST MEEEEEEE I WORK FOR THE BANK GET A GRIP!!!!!!!! Can you give us another verse of that song? It's a cracker!
