Time for a Reality Check?
I honestly believe we are two decisive defenders and one tactically aware manager away from promotion. Brewster - Should have never been brought back but since the board went and done what everyone told them not to, they should have left him to the end of the season. The damage had been done as far as alienating our star players and points lost goes. Butcher - Flatters to deceive. Does not know when to change things on the park, but, he is loyal to his players. He turned the team around after Christmas last year but, I thought Brew was going to turn it around anyway, and Ibrox was as lucky as your ever going to get in a game of football. Fans - Just like your average football fans, loyal, over-expectant and believe we have more influence over the broad than we really do. The Board - Who knows? Whenever I hear about them, it seems to be negative. Me - I need to attend more games. When I go, we win, apart from when we play Ross County, but I think Morton are sick fed up of me. Should probably drink less before games. CTO - 9.5 out of 10. You lose .5 because some of the adverts at the top make me feel guilty about life. Need to make the hosting fees though. Roscoe - Learn to control a ball and you'll play for Scotland. Imrie - Get over yourself Hayes, Foran, Rooney, Esson, Duncan and Cox - keep it up. Bulvitis, Muro, Golly and Zadi - why so nervous? We have a really good team, we just need the right manager to make it all work.

Tevez wins the league for Man Utd
I find it embarrassing that on a an ICT message board people are having it out about their allegiances towards bigger teams as it cheapens ICT. You can write what you want and I understand this is a section for discussing other teams but, I don't think it's a section for supporters of other teams.

Tevez wins the league for Man Utd
Does anyone else find this discussion cringe worthy? I'm cringing. Should this not be discussed on a Liverpool or Manchester Red Devils fan site? "How many times you been to Camp Nou? I've been 4, I'm a Barcelona supporter". It's strange how you never hear these sort of discussions about St James' Park or White Heart lane, two permanently sold out grounds. It's always a persons right to support one of the big 4 or Old Firm you hear being discussed. Glory hunters.

Partick Thistle Roll Call
Where are these places of which you speak? Hubbard's is on Great Western Road on the opposite side from Kelvinbridge underground. A decent bar with a few real ales and football on the TV, but maybe 15 minutes' walk from the ground. The Pewter Pot is a little closer, on North Kelvinside Road, which runs between Great Western Road and Maryhill Road - a nice quiet wee place. The Lansdowne is a bar / restaurant on Lansdowne Crescent, also between Great Western Road and Maryhill Road. It's the trendier option. Munn's has the advantage of proximity, mind you - I'll see what Stan et al feel like doing on the day. I've not been there since a blurry night a few summers ago, when I was told to get off the roof or the police would be called. I felt dreadful the next day.........

Atmosphere
I was with a Ross County fan, Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and one other Caley fan who all don't normally go to home games. They all came for a good game and they got it. Being on a Sunday and in Perth, it was easily attend-able (I'm not sure that's a word, but it should be) for central belt folk whom can't get Saturdays off, to come along. I was at Airdrie, Morton and County (1-3) at home and I reckon the atmosphere in the ground is directly related to the football on show.

CTO - The Future
I reckon you should just ban the people that repeatedly annoy you. Even better, you could block the offending posters so no-one, apart from other offending posters can see what is being said, so they can argue and name call forever and ever, whilst no-one else is even aware of it. Written word has always been the hardest way to express sarcasm and a lot of offense starts from this. I was in a foundation English class in school, which I thought was as low as it got but some of the writing on this site is impossible to make sense of, which leaves me wondering how much lower it goes? It's hard not to comment on it sometimes, especially because this takes place in spite of the built in speel checker. Despite this, I realise that attacking a person's education is always going to lead a thread to an irritating and messy conclusion so I'll never do it again. I respect the mods, even if that's after a couple of personal messages to remind me that was is said on this site can be seen by any member of the public. I admire the amount of time I assume you all put in because I spend large chunks of my bosses time reading the posts on here, and still don't get through it all, and I have the luxury of ignoring bitchy threads. It must take all the mods a significant amount of your free time. I'm glad your feelings have been expressed, instead of you keeping it all to yourself and then one day suddenly pulling the plug. This site is a vital information hub for ICT (and Dundee) fans and is hugely appreciated. PS. The friends only invite is an excellent idea is it provides posters with a little accountability. PPS. We're not a big enough club to satisfy the modern desire for 24 hour, 365 days a year news that a lot of the modern EPL/champions league force fed football fans (me) require, and this could lead to people posting for the sake of creating an argument, to keep them occupied (not me).

Partick Thistle Roll Call
Murrayfield for me unfortunately

Game ON!
If it's called off, I will hold Gordon Brown responsible.

Great goal by France against Ireland
Combination of the two. Just like diving. The ref should spot it but it's still the actions of the player that cause the injustices in the first place.
-
Great goal by France against Ireland
Even though he's unhinged, I agree with Roy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/i...als/8370327.stm If you apply the same logic to all, then Roy Keane is clearly a Rangers supporting England sympathiser....

Great goal by France against Ireland
THIS IS FOOTBALL. This is the culture that football exists within. If you can get away with it, then it's within the rules. "I don't blame Henry, if it was myself or Robbie (not the fat dancer from Take That I assume) then we would have tried to get away with it." Thats what Duff said. Oh, I get it. It's the referee's fault. Just like it's Gordon Brown's fault for the economy for going into recession. Everyone has a part to play. If Miller had done the same for Scotland and put Germany out, everyone would have LOVED it. THIS IS FOOTBALL. They're all at it. My second team in club football is Spurs and I have rights to an Irish passport (why would you want one?) but Robbie Keane would have done the same without a second thought. Could anyone imagine if Henry had gone to the ref and owned up to what would have happened? He would have lost Dominesh (speeling?) his job, and his nation the world cup appearance that we all want. Goal line technology, for an obvious reason, would not have helped and anyone calling for extra officials behind each goal should watch the UEFA cup. Football is what it is and we can't change the rules because Eduardo dived, or Henry hand balled. We're a wee team, the big teams have it all their way is a pish argument as well. What about the blatent penalty France were denied? 'Plucky' Irish, keep plucking away.

ICT -V- Airdrie Utd : matchday thread
Can't find the post that made the point originally but, as my internet got cut off (er, sorry Virgin media, Royal Mail must have lost the payment in the mail. Yep, that's what happened), I couldn't respond at the time. Whoever said the players can't even pass the ball, your soooooo right. Like what happened so many times against Airdrie, if we could play the ball for the running player to RUN ONTO, rather than directly at, or just behind the ankles, then we would be at the top of this league, and perhaps half way up the next one. It's fundamental errors that are being made. Why can't Golly hit the ball straight? Tokely will no doubt have apologised to the Physio for that wee out burst.......

Ross County -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
You can't say that here.

Ross County -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
its one or two too many. Very good point.

Butcher must Go!
County 2-1 Inverness Inverness 4-1 Morton Ayr 1-5 Inverness Inverness 1-1 Dunfermline Raith 0-1 Inverness Inverness 1-3 QOS Inverness 1-0 Ross County Hardly the form to sack someone.
-
Butcher must Go!
2-1 away against a team of similar standard is no disgrace. I didn't see it but, as its the results that count, this is no catastrophe. We're seven points of the top. He should have until his contract runs out in the summer.

Ross County -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
I think, considering how poor overall we have been this season.....we can consider ourselves very lucky to only be 7 pts of top spot. Shows how close this league is True dat. It also shows how bad some of the other teams can be as well.
-
Ross County -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
Nowhere near it! Even last week..i thout we were marginally the better team (despite the score) When we beat Morton a couple of months ago I didn't think we were much better than them then either.
-
Wow!
I really enjoyed that. His technique makes me believe I can play pro football.......
-
Ross County -V- ICT : Matchday Thread
I agree. I was fighting to get today off because I thought we would pump County but, I'm a little glad I didn't go now. I forget we're still not the full package.
-
Wow!
- January signings
I doubt we will see anyone. We would need to get rid of players first. Who is going to take Barrowman, Mcbain, Zadi or Renegade from us for the kind of money we need to bring in another player? The best we will get is a couple of contract extensions and Duff back from injury.- Richie Foran
This interview is a few months old but I'm not sure if any of you have read it. http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/lea...ky-1734909.html - January signings
