Melville / Dundee / 25pt Deduction
- The Ryder Cup
Mebbes there was method in Monty's madness, he knew by selecting pod and molinari it would keep things tight, had he picked Casey and Rose it would have been all over before the singles!!!!- The Ryder Cup
Killer putt fae StuartCink then wee Rory missing a wee fehv footer changed the whole second period,but what a start to the third period, if they can continue that tomorrow will be a great lead going into singles.- Melville / Dundee / 25pt Deduction
I'll chip in my tuppence worth here, haven't been posting much of late as much of my enthusiasm and passion has been knocked with events since January,I was angry,mystified and let down by the capitulation and lack of fight of overpaid players last season, but this doesn't come close to the disgust and anger i now feel on discovering yet again we have been the victims of lies and half truths. I don't pretend to understand business models and high finance, i do however understand the huge amount of hard work and endeavour along with hard earned cash,put in by thousands of honest punters trying to drag THIER club back from the brink in 2003.DEE4LIFE bought into the club owning 26% of shares and got a fans representative on the board,supposedly to prevent this situation ever occurring again,we had what appeared to be a very credible board who had turned things round after administration and were assured the club was debt free,Calum Melville, we were told, was the icing on the debt free cake and was prepared to invest in the hope of returning us to SPL status. Everything in the garden was rosy, what could go wrong eh? Alarm bells started to ring with the constant refusal of the board to honour a promise made to fans with regards to transparency that an annual Q&A would be held with board being answerable to supporters,this has yet to materialise and many supporters have voiced their discontent on this matter and the resignation of the DEE4LIFE chairman further heightened concerns. Most fans can put up with footballing disappointment,FFS we're used to that,but the continued mismanagement, lies and duplicity over 40 years gets wearing. I'll watch the current fiasco through my fingers but aint optimistic about a happy outcome. All we ask is a team of players who give a feck,even a fraction as much as the support,a competent and honest board and a win now and again would be nice,no too much to ask surely?- ALEX HIGGINS
Great charachter, loved watching him when I was young, one of the main reasons i started playing snooker (badly) and posssibly one of the reasons i started smoking! so he wasn't a good roll model and Charles B wont like him being a long trousered sports man that made a load of dosh, but jeezo he was a great entertainer, R.I.P Hurricane- the Open
Sorry Charles , i really dont get it. I dislike him because he's obnoxious, arrogant and generally objectionable character,but his pedigree competing against the fittest and leanest in the world (whilst carrying a few extra stone as an added handicap) is beyond question.As captain of the Ryder cup team i reckon he'll struggle to gain the respect of his team because of his attitude but not his weight,but as in all SPORTS results count and time will tell.- the Open
You obviuosly have a wee isssue with Monty, Charles,(who doesn't?), but dissapointing you chose to castigate the whole golf world where it is the skill level that brings the massive rewards and yes, less athletic figures can make the top if they have the stamina and mental toughness required,but in the main, most top golfers are very professional,fit and athletic. As for poor fitness role models and the social agenda,try keeping up with the drinking culture of many "professional" footballers and other "short trousered" sportsmen. :008:- the Open
If ya give me any winner bar Oosthuizen yer on ,(thats a minimum 4 shot lead!!) let me ken before 9 am- the Open
Ach,yer sooooo predictable JB, anyways, eh heard Fanny was bagging for Bernard Langer and it got serious but she cut it short when she realised it could make her Fanny Langher great viewing as ever at the open, Rory's up an doons are doing meh napper in but some unbelievable golf in thon wind,Casey lookin good in current form , roll on the morn :015: you feenished that whiskey yet JB??- Should vuvuzelas be banned in the SPL?
ban them , there humming- ICT & That SPL Vote
Reckon all supporters would agree wi that Scotty,but some of the decision makers in charge of the various governing bodies are beyond comprehension and cleary influenced by factors other than the "good of the game"- ICT & That SPL Vote
As Scotty points out the waters are pretty muddy especially after several years and they were no less muddy at the time. Dundee did indeed vote against ICT being allowed to groundshare with Aberdeen and i personally was pretty vocal in my condemnation of our boards decision at the time.Jimmy and Peter Marr, in fairness, took the time to come to a meeting in Inverness and explained they had documentary evidence from the SFA that 31st March was the date for goundshares and they had been forced to comply to similar when the same applied to us,i got the feeling the veto was more to do with preventing Aberdeen gaining financial advantage than preventing ICT's advancement and definately nothing to do with hoping to split any parachute payment!! Indeed,at the time there were also 2 other proposals on the table from ICT which would have allowed ICT to play at home from the start of season which the Marrs voted in favour of, but 7 clubs voted against!! I'm no great lover of the Marrs,but they got flak for this and put their hands up and explained their reasoning,bear in mind it was a secret vote and they had no obligation to say which way they voted but did, while others attempted to spin things in their favour once public opinion became apparent.- It couldnt - could it?
Reckon Chis should get them baith signed up before the Raith game ( Is their a clutching at straws smiley??)- Congratulations
Well done to all at ICT, astonishing turn around second half of the season :allhail: , matched only by our own unbelievable collapse :) Enjoy yer celebrations Hae to go an get JB's Whisky now :021:- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
Good to see you have your confidence back enough to leave yer posts on and not deleting them JB, :clapping04:- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
IF.....and it's a big IF, it goes to the last game.......................i reckon we will win it,and i dont often fancy our chances in these scenarios,but i couldn't see us buying a win few weeks back.Has Chis turned the corner in time or is it too late? probably, I reckon you lads will have it sewn up before then :P But if no.................................... The Glenfarcles isnae bought yet :(- Good Luck to our Boys
But then some folk would just say we bought our way to the title- Good Luck to our Boys
Not quite C'mon Jamsie Grady's boys, help wrestle that bottle back oot of Johnboys tight mits- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
Awwwww You ever seen Johnboy gloating?- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
I doff my cap,can't believe our players have so little desire and professional pride (with the exception of Brian Kerr,Tony Bullock,Rab D and Ritchie Hart and i reckon a few others owe Jocky big time!!) to lose a 12 point lead and capitulate so easily without a fight. Good luck to all at ICT,i wont be buying Johnboys whisky just yet,but short of a miracle,cannae see what will save the humiliation :drinking09: It's not over yet but.......................................- Lovell to ICT?
"his case wasn't helped by a niggling ankle injury which requires surgery. McCall agreed to release the 28-year-old from his contract this week". He said: "Steve feels that until the problem with his ankle has been sorted that it is impossible for him to do himself justice. "Steve hasn't asked for any pay off for his contract being cancelled which is to his credit and we wish him all the best for the future." Credit to Lovell for not holding out for a pay off or insisting Partick honour his contract,he realised he couldn't do the job justice and asked to be released,Respect to him for that, unlike many "sicknotes"- Top of the League and your no
Dundee might, just might have saved the season by sacking Jocky,but mebees a couple of weeks late, time will tell,one thing is certain, we definately wouldnt have won it had Jocky stayed.Today was the best we have played in weeks.- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
Eh love it when you get cocky JB :021:- Dundee's relentless march to the title.....
Think we,ve done that and gone beyond. Oh dear, seems to be a few Caley fans that don't do irony!! Well done on yer result today lads,be interesting to see how ICT deal with the pressure now the dynamics have changed,different game now, instead of having "nothing to lose"- Countys stadium
Aye , yer right, no point in discussing a subject that he been sorted out to everyones satisfaction eh? - The Ryder Cup
