Clash of the titans on now. Only Federer has the game to keep up with Nadal. Great stuff so far with Nadal holding the early break..........just. My money is on Federer to get the better of him eventually in a five setter. One set up for Nadal, tough game.

you can get help for that.

looks like Williams is going to win the ladies title.

Well said claret, looks like some of our fans are stuck in the 70's and 80's, and sometimes we forget that outsiders can look in from time to time. I'm sure most of these impressions are a bit tongue in cheek though. Maybe it rained when these guys called in. We have a few fans in the vicinity and I am sure some hardy souls will make the weekend of it as well, I might have a look in myself. Hope you enjoy our special brand of football and it is always good to spread the gospel further than Dingwall. Big name alright...........biggest in the game around here :021: We were also hoping to get a big name.....................but we got Burnley :023: Now...........all we need is directions to the best boozers before the game, somewhere we will be made welcome. Enjoy us.

WELL..................................... get it off your chest, whats wrong with everything.............site, ICT, moderators, the world, SPL, EUFA.........what is your grump...??

:010: :010: :015:

Oh yea of little faith........................were you not ranked number nine............but Mantis complained??????????and he was docked a place for poor hand handwriting, but you cheated or sumpting.............Murray has triumphed before....Federer took a while to get to the top, and look at him now, it's a big business,

Burton may have been a decent signing, but we don't know, we could have hyped him up on here and he might have flopped. It's all reverse psychology and hypotheticaliity and all that. I'm all for signing big (even well known) names, but lets's get realistic, who can play decent football---------in the position we desire-------in the price range we can afford.....(and the geographical location that suits all family members...the biggy). We are not the only club facing these restrictions, but our mostly blinkered fans only have tunnel vision and wonder why we are not signing the likes of Rhiordan etc.............it beggars belief that we have come to these exhalted old firmish attitudes. Hey..........whatever, the new season is coming, and you know what, we will be no worse than the last few seasons. It's not a quote Rig, but I believe your reply to his signing on P&B was something like a <mellow> thoughtplan ???please explain?

............It's one thing to take Gasquet to a thrilling five set victory when you look down and out..............................but a whole different ball game to try and do the same to Nadal. He was superb, hitting every corner and every baseline, deep returns and power packed shots giving Murray no option but to try big shots all the time..................only one result, an embarrassment for Murray...........or more directly to the media who hyped him up to the general public to even contemplate he could get near to the ultimate..................no chance, Nadal and Federer will battle this one out and may the best man win. This time Nadal might just have enough power to ruffle Roger but he is the King of the grass court, difficult to call. Forgot to add..................he will now be officially declared as Scottish or a Scot...............how frightfully scurrilous of him to think he could rise above his ranks and challenge the elite of world tennis...........................................tell them all to feck aff Andy, I for one am proud of your exploits.........come back next year, bigger and stronger and fitter and better and.......and .....and .......fekkin British, then you might win something.

:015: It could go on a while.................he is about as ambitious as a club like ICT are prepared to go without breaking the bank. Name me a realistic person we could approach within our budget and the fans would accept as a decent signing...........three to give me a mean..........................not easy to keep this lot happy.........but all other spl boards are filled with the same horror stories.

Erm, I never said you did say that, paranoia creeping in. I said that not all County fans are saying the aforementioned..... but you are doing your best to undermine his potential at ICT. Check out the Jailender and they are not all spouting p!sh..........only the bitter ones and they are easily spotted. It's all in the spin you put on it...............and that includes the fans as well as the media.

Not like County fans to be bitter and twisted is it. Why should we believe these so called experts of the lower divisions, they know no more about football than us ICT fans. I am happy to leave it to the ones getting paid to select the players. rig, not all County fans were against him, some thought he was great, but I don't expect many to compliment him once he has signed for us. Why don't we wait and see for ourselves, with the right coaching and players around him, he could well be the rock we have needed in the back line. He will be no pushover thats for sure and if he can get consistency into his game then he may well prove to be a pretty shrewd acquisition.

He struck me as being in the Bobo Balde mould and I would imagine he may well be tried in the central defensive area as well as wing back. He could well become a cult figure...........then again, maybe we won't get the best out of him. I am behind this siging, give the guy a break and forget he ever played for County.......who.

Tom, it's not a rumour if someone just picks a name out of thin air and speculates that they would do a good job for ICT, that is just the poster expressing their opinion. The player may eventually be linked through a valid source to ICT, then it does become a rumour, until that player signs, then it becomes fact. So, as the boss said, no more guesswork unless you have a source please.

There is an erra in your typing.

Well, he frightens the sh!t out of me. I believe he will be a good addition to the squad and his presence may well be felt by a few spl forwards this season. Good signing by Brew, well done. If he comes towards you, just call him sir.

Ferkin superbtastic........absolutely awesome, he was as the commentator said being run ragged by Les Bleu........down and out but from nowhere he clawed himself back into the match and turned it round in the most dramatic fashion. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: well done that Jock.

Don't call me ruffly.

yes

What a poor start by both teams, the Spaniards are sitting too deep and punting long hopeless balls forward and the Gerry's look the most likely early doors although nothing much has happened after fifteen minutes...........woops, almost an own goal, that big ***** Lehmann made a reflex save to deny Spain...........first action so far Great header by Torres from a Ramos cross, crashes back off the base of Lehmann's right hand post but bounces agonisingly wide of the follow up strikers. Torres looking razor sharp on the break and forces a corner. Nothing doing. Fabregas forces Lehmann to do some work with long range effort easily saved, half an hour gone. Jings, Torres is rapid, he outpaces defenders and squeezes ball past outcoming keeper from right side of eighteen yard box. 1-0 Spain. Ol? Ol? Ol? Ol?...........Ol? Ol?...................Viva Espa?a Spain in control and cut open the German defence again only for Silva to miscue a volley from fifteen yards. Ballack felled 38 yards from goal, wasted free kick floated beyond everyone. Neat interplay from Spain has Ballack dishing out some retribution. Silva's heavy touch wastes good through ball in the box and it runs out. Ballack back on after getting some attention for blood wound to the head I think. Corner to Gerry's half cleared but return blocked for another corner to Germany from the other side. Ballack getting involved again and needs to be booked soon, in fact he is now. Another swift break by Spain sees them go from box to box, corner kick, should have done better. Half time approaches and Spain looking the most comfortable on the ball and creating all the action so far, whistle goes to bring the first half to a close. Half time Spain 1-0 Germany Low key start to the second half, Spain still have the edge and Xavi fires in a vicious shot which ref gives a corner, much to Lehmann's consternation and from the resultant corner, Ramos almost flicks a shot towards the net. Next up, almost a carbon copy of the opening goal but Lehmann is first to another through ball with sprinter Torres a close second. Another Spanish cross whistles across the Germans box but no takers. 'Ouch', Ballack almost snatches an equaliser with a snapshot from twenty yards which ruffled the side net on the way past. Still only 1-0 and you can never write off the Germans. Kouranyi has come on as a substitute and the Germans are now responding with a couple of surges forward.....Schweinsteiger gains a corner after whacking a thirty yarder off a defender. Germans certainly putting the effort in now. Minor handbags with Silva pushing his forehead into Podolski's face...............seen people sent off for that indiscretion, 25 mins left for Germany to turn this round. That was Silva's last manoeuvre, being replaced by Santi Cazorla, probably for the best. Spain almos increase their lead but Lehmann equal to the task and Iniesta twice in as many minutes could have wrapped up the tie. But as long as this game stays at only 1-0 the Germans won't give up. Spains neat passing game is deservedly pushing them towards a long awaited European crown, with 73 minutes gone. Torres booked for a challenge. Spaniards playing themselves into a spot of bother, but swiftly transfer the ball to the opposite end where Torres does the defender but Lehmann reads it to smother the ball. Kiss of death for Spain as Lawerenson said that this is the worst German team ever...............lookout. Torres substituted now all six substitutes on the park as Spain break forward menacingly. Ten minutes plus for Spain to hold on. Great work by Senna as he carves open the Gerry's and almost gets on the end of the return cross, tantalisingly close to the clincher. Once again Spain break forward but no helpers, although a corner was a decent second prize, free kick from the corner offers a chance from twenty five yards centre of goal but Xavi lifts it over the bar. Spain defending deep as Germans try to take the game to extra time, but offsides thwarts the Germans. Spain have looked so comfortable all game and no one would have any complaints if they carried the tropy away after this one. Lapse in the German rearguard almost gifts Spain an opening but the cross is blocked as Spain keep the Germans hemmed in. Stifled laughs as Germans thought they were getting a penalty but decision goes to Spain, three minutes of added on time to wait. Game is just slipping away from the Germans, as Spain once more rip the defenders a new erse with only one minute left. Puyol is magnificent as usual as the Spaniards are on the cusp.....................Ol? Ol? Ol? Ol?...........Ol? Ol? Viva Espa?a Full time Spain 1-0 Germany...........waltz on. Good display by the referee and his assistants. Platini seems to be enjoying himself................now, there was a great player. We are the champions rings around the ground as Motson signs off, Spains first title in 44 years.
