The crisp sarnies are ok,but remember to take them out of the packet first :029: Don't try this at home children.

Oh dear It's a celebration of Barry Wilson's time playing for ICT. We won't be fielding our strongest side either, we don't want to ebarrass them now do we. It's supposed to be a bit of fun, it's not life or death. So a Liverpool supporter thinks we are taking this seriously......aye right. What the feck is wrong with everybody.............is it the weather?

and your point is caller?

girls, girls, girls, continue the argument on private messaging please.

No, put them up.

It has a Biggles-esque theme about it, maybe the scarfy bit is the Flybe input. Disaster of a strip and the all blue socks look hideous.

Nicuale proceeded to thank team-mates Ian Black, Graham Bayne and Don Cowie for their support and best wishes, conveyed via text message throughout the finals. Obviously getting paid too much to be sending text messages abroad. Good to see he appreciates what we have done for him and good luck Marius when you leave.

Will there be a Marius watch for his honeymoon? Congratulations Mariushh :021:

Therein lies the answer within these very boards................................it was only mee bathing in the beatiful shores of the loch.

:015: fukkeeen **** mun :010:

Oh dear.

Was I!

Watch out, stalker about :014:

:012: Nothing new to add, just bored with the whole thing. Could not care less if he comes to us or not. Maybe he is a red herring.

If you believe in it then it is real..........if you are a tad sceptical like me, then it's a figment of imagination, or a tourist trap.

so you are

good on ya tug, you are winning now.

Yes man landed on the moon.............he was on the back of the Loch Ness Monster.

I'll volunteer to paint the shorts on.................if I'm too late, can I lick wash the strip off.

Well done............fantastic achievement.

Aye me to. Are you guys talking in a different language...........I can undersdtand Rig, broadcasting from his loo...........likewise :014:

From official website Ian Taylor, General Manager of Market Development at Flybe said, "We obviously like the new design having been involved throughout the process of introducing the new kit,we are also delighted with our first year as sponsor of Caley Thistle we look forward to an increasingly successful relationship with the Club as we move forward into next season." The new kit is part of an ongoing contract with Italian manufacturers Errea and is scheduled to be available for sale from Wednesday 25th June. With a design reminiscent of that worn when ICT won the first division in 2004, it is hoped that this strip will bring some of that magic to next season................... Aye right, the strip is like someting you would buy in Primark, it will make no difference to the way we play, but we will not look aesthetically pleasing

Looks like the Romanian tactics were get the ball to Mutu and let him keep it until the defenders take it off him. Numerous occasions where Mutu should have fed in one of the other forwards (including Mariushhh) but the greedy sod kept running into a cul de sac. Get Mutu out and let the other guys play for each other. I felt sorry for Mariushhh, shorry, Marius, as they kept the ball away from him and he hardly touched the ball. His half time stats showed he did plenty of leg work.........but strikers also need the ball to go with that and therein lies the Romanians failings. Holland deserved to win and for Romania read ICT, too little too late. I for one am delighted to have seen an ICT player playing in the top European tournament and to see him rubbing shoulders with some of the best footballers in the world is just magnificent. It's not his fault he was not allowed to shine, take a bow Mr Mutu, you have ruined your countries chances of progressing, penalty miss and all. Notice his (Marius) speed stats were a top speed of 23.86 (kph I Presume) and he covered 7866m in his 58 minutes, (faster than Van Persie) No surprise that Robben was fastest at 30.89
