Looks like it's Dundee United for us in the next round of the cup. They are two nil up against Paisley in their rescheduled game tonight.

Americans.

He will play behind the midfielders looking for long balls over the top :017:

Well.................all yer anagrams are a heap'o'sh!te, there is a K in his name :010: Markus Paatelainen. First one to sing a chorus which rhymes with Paatelainen, wins first prize. I hope he can pass the ball quickly.......LIKE A TRUE MANN ASAP.

ooohhh, I typed too slow :010: He won't need to make the bench, there is already one at the ground :003:

According to teletext, he has completed his full signing to ICT and will be available for Sundays home game with Hibs. He starts training this week at Inverness. Good news all round, a positive step by the management. :021: Looks like he could become a local cult player, good to have an 'image' for young fans to follow, look out yer mums blonde wigs. From the Cowdenbeath website, Blue Brazil on-line:- Markus is the younger brother of boss Mixu and signed for the club at the beginning of September 2005. Paatelainen joined Aberdeen on a 6 month contract last January but was released at the end of the season. He can play on either wing or in the centre of midfield and has been involved at under 21 level for Finland. Markus has been in sparkling form this season winning five consecutive Fan's Player of the Month awards. Suffered a serious injury away to Elgin City and had been sidelined for two months. The flying Finn made his comeback at Hampden Park and was fittingly a key player as Cowden clinched the Championship at home to Elgin. Markus capped a fantastic first season at Central Park by picking up a plethora of awards: Scottish Professional Footballers' Association Third Division Player of the Year, Supporters Club Player of the Year, Willie Anderson Trophy (Blue Brazil Fans' Player of the Year) and the Eric Mitchell Trophy (Players' Player of the Year). Markus made 24 (1 sub) appearances and scored 6 goals. Position: Midfield Date of Birth: 23rd January 1983 Place of Birth: Valkeaskoski, Finland Height: 6'1 Weight: 12.8st Nickname: Mori Occupation: Student Signed for Cowden: September 2005 Previous clubs: AC Allianssi, FC Kooteepee, Aberdeen Football hero: Football highlight: Season 05/06 with Cowden! Biggest disappointment: None Ambitions for season: Play-off place.

Right on cue Harry, here I am :003: Caff has filled in when required and did a good job at Tynecastle last year. He may not have the same presence as Dodsy but we have to try him out first and see if he gets up to speed, if not, he will always be the 'back up man' If not first choice, decent squad player to have in your team.

:015: :015: :015: nice one all round.............and one of your more subtle ones ender

Libero, I was merely offering an answer as to why there were 72 views and 1 reply, it has all been said before, but you are right, it is an important issue. Scotty, read my post again, I never said that a discussion on the topic was tripe, I said a lot of tripe had been written about it previously. My reference to CC was more to do with the other thread which started about CC comments in the courier and was picked to shreds by the psychologists on here who know much better. It is a topic that will crop up every so often, but for me basically, if the interest is not there, you will never encourage another thousand people down to the ground, not until the present malaise is grown out of the present generation. Anyway, why I never replied earlier to libero was I did not want to go over old ground so soon, but feel free, I will read on with interest and if any new suggestion crop up, fair enough. As I mentioned before, constructive points are always welcome, but if they only end up on threads on here, will the club take any heed of them? Enjoy.

Lack of comments is possibly due to this being done to death on this site and the old Sportsnetwork site, we are just trawling over old ground now with some newer posters who have not sifted through all the tripe written before, one different name being used now of course is CC, it is all his fault :006: But if anyone can come up with constructive criticism for the way ahead, please inform the chief Executive as we certainly could do with more bums on seats. Our basic fanbase is around the 3200-3500, any more than that is due to bigger away crowds turning up, then theres the old firm/dons etc........ach, it's all been said before.

The fact is we are a club of this size. If Charlie said nothing some geeks would still find fault with him. I am sick to the back teeth of all the moaning going around. Wait till we really do something poorly then we can all moan properly. People don't want to come and see us play for various reasons, CC talking in the Courier will be bottom of the reasons. Wise up to the real truths, Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, anti merger twats, pricing, affordability, can't be arsedness, something else to do, doing my hair, it's too cold, the songs that get sung, or not, the list is endless, but CC making an off the cuff comment is not the real reason, thats just an excuse. Bobby Mann got slagged for stating similar stuff just after beating Celtic in the cup, he also wondered where they all went, but nutters on here who obviously all have degrees in the workings of the human mind managed to spin it round to being Bobbies fault. You lot are unbelievable, or just like the sound of your own typing.

You are right HeilanDee, she doesn't look like fifty...................but I bet she did when she was :023: :angel13: urfty burfty

I originally thought this thread was about midge, the mystery whinger, then I read it again, it's a mystery winger :017: Midge, you are entitled to your views, but you just appear to be very bitter and twisted towards CC. I fear this is not just football related.

How sad, never mind, at least you still have ICT :019: enjoy :003:

A mythtake even :017:

Na na na, the car park is not free, it cost over half a million pounds :010:

I really don't care, but is this not another manager who's career ICT have managed to ruin :015: :015: :015:

Bridge Good to see your nephew now supporting the right team.

hmmnn, tomorrow is next year

Slowdown guys, I'm trying to watch the Shawshank redemption.

But it's the time of year for naievity play.

wig, you can't blame Black, he was the innocent party, the guy crocked himself fouling Black as he broke over the half way line. Strewth. However, he does have the ability to attract the referees attention at the wrong times for the wrong reasons, which is a pity considering the footballing skills he possesses.

Where will we get the smack from weed..............any contacts.
