Dunno about Fenlon Alex, the chairman is seemingly desperate to sign a manger before friday ( champions league qualifer draw) so Robbo is in the frame. They have struggled a fair bit since yer man went to Pars, so maybe Fenlon was a stop gap?

O.A.P tickets are.... GREY :rolleyes02: Yeah, i know, its not grey - call it a blue rinse :015: aint grey on the menu!

Robbo has been more or less accepted for the Derry City managers post.

Anybody renew their season ticket yet..if so you will know already, anybody still to buy be ready for a shock..... They are GREEN What the feck is that all about? do we play in green now? imagine if Rangers fans picked up their new green season tickets!

Jeez...not another shortar5e...have we not got enough of them already?

In my day it was Lada :023: Mmmm.. in your day was it not steam? :blah01:

Zander aint no striker either.. this all smacks of ' make do' It is time for the board to be a bit more ambitious.

Pretty cool eh! a house with his n' hers downstairs lavvy's ! might pong a bit though....

Inhibited, introverted central belt footballers... :014: Oh..almost forgot, Aberdeen get players from all over the place, it will take the same time to travel from weegieland to Aberdeen as it would Inverness, is it cos' their a big club?

Thats good.. :021: manage a few :drinking07: now!

Daily Record has the game down for a sunday kick off ! no mention of kick off but 2 o'clock is the norm.. better than Monday though.

Great...now he has his own job secure and off his mind he can concentrate on signing 2 good players! :023:

Mark Mcghee says he is going to sign Dargo, which is no real surprise. Now we are getting awful close to the management saying this squad will do...which is a worry, i only hope this is a sign that they are keeping their cards close to the chest and not alerting other teams to the targets.

Especially if they sign Dargo... :007:

In the past we have lost players, but we have never lost three main players in one season, Brown, Dods and Dargo in my mind were the three most influential players we had. Add to that the aging process of Barry and we have in my mind a wee crisis about to happen, we hear again the platitudes from CC and GB how the squad are good enough, remember in January how they gambled on Rory to come good, that backfired. Its time or some people in power with money to invest i think.

Sometimes you need to cut out the crap and get straight to the point....... :014:

:moon2: .... Near enough... :015:

After reading Dargo's comments in the interview in the P & J, He seems quite taken by what Midden have offered and by what Mcpherson is saying, would not be surprised if he ends up there. Now we have a situation where this incident has given ICT a bad bit of PR, I'm sure other players keep in touch with what is happening in the transfer market and this will confirm that not only are ICT 'way up north' that they cant pay very well. This will leave is scratching about in the lower leagues ( ala county) looking for players that match our finances, now in my mind this will always have us in the lower league area ' punching above our weight' not really challenging for 6th place. We have in a chairman an ambitious man, an obviously successful businessman who i'm sure is a football man through & through, will he invest money into ICT? any businessman will tell you that you have to speculate to accumulate, if all we can attract is out of form/untried lower league players i feel we can not move on to the next level, this will without doubt put pressure on CC as manager to get the best out of players and hope they can overachieve. I hope this does not sound too negative, but if players like McManus are giving us the dunt to stay in the first div. it is a concern to me.

I did not attend this charity event, (£100 a head) but seemingly CC was doing the cooking along with the rocpool reserve chef, Grassa was helping out as a waiter too. The two chef's ( CC has himself as a wee bit of a masterchef) cook food and punters try to guess who cooked it - pro or football manager.... difficult eh? £200 a couple is a wee bit dear for me...

Brill.... we could get Titch McCooey to do the announcing stuff!!!! :014:

In reality we need cover for three defensive places, Centre, right and left backs due to fact that there is no one to cover Hastings or Rossco, we NEED an experienced striker, no bullshitting of Wyness or Rory to make them think they can fill the space.

' Aberdeen certainly don't seem to have any problems in the transfer market.' Pretty unfair to compare us with Aberdeen, they are Scotlands third biggest club, and can pay far bigger salaries than we ever will, they are in European competition next year, this alone will attract players. If you take a closer look and stop to think, most of the media/newspaper stuff is pure speculation, and not press releases from the club. Buchanan would i'm sure prefer to come to us in the SPL, but he will get a full time contract with Plastic AND get regular football, which i dont blame him, after all he might not even be offered a deal from us after trials. Do you think the signing of Brown,.Dods,Dargo,Wyness and Rankin amateurish?

' Ask County fans if you need more proof ' Aye..that goal he scored at Viccy Park was one of the best individual goals i have ever seen an ICT player score. But, he's a fair bit down my list... Barry Wilson even now still gives you that expectation when he gets the ball, and you can see a wee bit panic in the opposition players eyes, did you see the video on utube when he slipped Gravesen and left him for dead!! brilliant.

Has this not been done before?

Wish i had your optimism K'Mills, what with CC saying Denzil will fill Dargo's shoe ( after Denzil saying dont expect me to fill Dargo's shoes ) and Richie Hart saying Rory is going to be brilliant this season and fulfill his potential could it be that we are going to make do? If that is the case i would estimate 9th or 10th
