Ach,ye'll be able to wear them for bringing the peats in Hearach,Whit part of Harris ya from?

Here's a linky to the OFFICIAL memorbilia produced for the final,don't know if ICT are doing any but these are quite decent IMHO Cup final Scarf badge and shirt

Any one got any idea how ICT ticket sales are going,looking like our bit should be sold out,tickets selling well fair looking forward to it now, hopefully ICT sell out as well to make it a full hoose....see y'all in Perth

Do i think Dundee will win the league this year? I'm very optomistic,and for the first time since coming down! (although i always hoped we would,i was concerned about the sustainability if we went back up too soon)for several of the reasons stated above, mainly strength in depth of the pool,also Griffiths being different class and a huge asset in this league,but with Pat Clark,Higgins and Mcmenamin also avialable we have replacements to step in as will be required on Saturday V QOTS as Griffs away on under 21's duty.Gary Harkins is a quality signing and Klimpl has been a massive boost to shoreing up our dodgy defensive start to the season and his arrival has seen the form of Gary Mackenzie soar as confidence returns. i'm also reliably informed your own Pavels Mahujdinks is coming in January,also possibly the return of Milan Panelik.Competition for most places is fierce with Ritchie Hart showing up well last night apparently,so i'm more optomistic than in previous seasons that this one will end well Callum Mellville has proved to be the shrewdest signing of the board,after getting a slating for spending 8 grand on an advertising campaign in the broadsheets,it has turned out to be money well spent.His "approach" for Scott Robertson was never more than a wind up and merely an off the record conversation with a journo,but as Jocky commented "Nice to know there's ?500.000 available if required! " I reckon Partick will be main rivals,but as we all know, any team in this league can seriously dent any teams hopes.If we can get a wee run going and get our noses in front we'll be very difficult to catch.(Hope it disnae go to the last day of the season game at TCS!)

Yer right mannie. I don't think I've ever seen him have a decent game. He can chuck himself around a bit but thats it really. No worries. Did you no catch his derby goals against yer "other" team Davie :022: If he can stay fit ,he'll deffo do a job for Partick in this league

Why is Owen(s) (sic) a mercenary more than any other player? He moved to Real. Did very well but didn't get on with the manager. Tried to move back to Liverpool but 'pool didn't have the money demanded by Madrid, so had to go somewhere else. Likewise, when his contract ran out with Newcastle, Liverpool didn't come in for him, so he moved somewhere else. What's he supposed to do? Not play for any other club? Turn down the chance to play for the English Champions in the very top flight but instead go to the likes of Hull because the club he wanted to go to didn't want him back? Madness! I await your hammering of Dennis Wyness or Barry Wilson, who both did much the same with Hearts and Livi, i.e. move on for a challenge and better money. And how dare they sign for a fellow relegation struggler in St Mirren (so Denzil tried to get ICT relegated) and QoS (plays for the north then goes as far south as he can and deliberately plays to win thus denying ICT points as they attempt to go back up). My opinion of Owen(s) (thanks for correcting me) was formed due to his lack of commitement and effort shown in a Newcastle shirt,despite being happy to collect the massive salary that went with the expectations, which he never achieved. "Form" would come back in spells when an England place beckoned but seemed happy to coast with little effort or passion for the club.At the end of the day,i'm sure most footballers are fairly mercinary in what club they end up at,but they are cheating the supporters who pay their wages if they then don't commit themselves 100% to that club.I'm understand he is on a "pay to play" contract at Man U,so I'm sure we'll see more effort and less injuries, or am i just being cynical Barry Wilson and Dennis, i'm sure, never give less that 100% whoever they are playing for

S'pose at the end of the day all professional footballers have their price,but some will wrestle with their consience more than others.Gerrard is a consumate professional and at the end of the day how many millions do ya need? I can understand the desire to reach the pinnacle of your profession,but would hope some one like Gerrard would do it moving abroad,not going his arch rivals and rubbing the noses of those that have paid his sizeable wages over the years.As for having nothing to show for his time at Liverpool.............. FA Cup (twice) League Cup (twice) FA Community Shield (twice) UEFA Champions League (once) UEFA Cup (once) UEFA Super Cup (twice) Isnae a bad haul ,but i'm sure he would love to add a league title or two to the list

IMHO,Gerrard come's across as one of the very few players who retain a modicum of club loyalty,unlike Owens who is a total mercenary,i very much doubt Gerrard could stomach the move to Old Trafford,he appears to have more dignity that that. (Nothing against Man U of course! ) Just to turn the thread title round..... Gerrard, a one team man ( time will tell)

Great signing for Partick, not so good for the rest of us they were a good team before and now will be very dangerous

I see in today's Courier Jim Eglington at HCVF is launching InvernessTV.net in January.Surely this a too good an opperchancity for the club to miss and with an obvious choice of in house presenter in the shape of CaleyD,negotiations need to be instigated forthwith,no?

First full house at Dens in years on Tuesday night and averaging over 5000 at home games,5 years after our own administration,so things can be turned round but the passive support has to be enthused.As CaleyD said many things are instrumental in turning folk away from the footy and it's up to the clubs to find ways to stimulate the interest,a winning team being the main one,but pricing and bringing back an enjoyable match day experiance would help.

Ken thats tongue in cheek ,but would just like to say, Bullock has been an absolute revalation this season.He's Jocky's neebor and was brought in as a back up to Rab Douglas, a'body at Dens not at all impressed with him being an ex Arab,(although i warmed to him up in Dingwall for the way he dealt with the "banter" from our lot) he has won everyone round with some superb displays,theres no way Rab will get back in with Bully playing as he is just now and i never thought i'd hear maself say that!! Ya just can't beat a bit of Bully

Sad day for Clachnacuddin. Clach go into administration

Several clubs now run their own in house tv highlights,I'm sure Dunfermline use the media dept from Fife college to run theirs.Our own is run by several volunteers,who do a great job with limited resources and supporters join Club Dundee for ?10 a month which gives quite several other benifits such as on line match day program,priorty tickets for games,discounts, etc.I think there are limitations on how much highlights can be shown, but definately do-able and a great boon to exiles. I'm sure with the expertise of the likes of CaleyD and some volunteers ICT could crack a project such as this nae problem.

Highland dark Blues will be taking a small (but perfectly formed) bus doon to the final.After a quick stop in Pitlochry for a sqaure go with IHE, we'll head on into Perth for pre match beers,no sure where we're going for celebrations afterwards yet tho

The same Jason Scotland refused a work permit by the SPL apeals comittee cause he was deemed not good enough to contibute significantly to the standard of football in the SPL ? surely no!

Naw, Dundee asked to be designated the home team because of our away record!! B)

Whilst i'd love to see the back of them it's more than likely never gonna happen,good article from our Chairman Bob Brannan in link Bob Brannas thoughts on the OF leaving

When it comes to taking the ****, your in.
