I'm probably just going to wait until the day and pay the price for not booking in advance.

I did. That's exactly how I became a fan.

I actually LOLed at those three.

You do wonder how Russia and Canada don't shut down every winter.... I guess the expense can't be justified here because we don't need ploughs very often but, when we do, we need them desperately. It's strange how every winter the media (yeah, them again) tell us about plummeting temperatures, and risk of heavy snowfall on higher ground. It's happened for the past 25 winters, I know that for sure, and I'm almost certain it's going to happen for the next 25 winters. We know it's coming but, it's just how much I reckon is the problem. I remember nearly giving up on life a couple of winters ago when we were playing Hibs. Gary Caldwell was the sole reason we won that day, even though the Hibs fans were blaming Ziggy. Anyhoo, it was the second coldest I've ever been at a game (the loss on Penalties against Partick was the coldest) and there was no chat of the game being off. However, as soon as there's some snow involved, like last week, folk start calling for a cancellation. We, the GREAT British Public ? have some deep routed psychological problems when it comes to snow. Snow touched us when we were young and we've never got over it. As someone else was saying, everyone is more careful in the snow plus, anyone that would have went to the game today, would really have wanted to be there. I wish it had been played. The Police and the Media, there holding us back brothers and sisters.

I've always wondered about this. There was a St Mirren fan on Jim Traynor's show last Saturday asking why their game was called off because of safety concerns regarding the surrounding streets (which, in Paisley, with it's high junkie population should never get the go ahead for games ever as there's always safety concerns in the surrounding streets) but, Braehead and Silverburn shopping centres were opened. The problem for football clubs though would be the numbers that would be arriving and leaving at the same time (apart from you freaks that leave early to 'get the car warmed up', you know who you are......) and also the potential loss of a large proportion of the clubs custom due to folk not fancying the drive in. We only have 18-22 home games each season and we need as many folk for them a possible.

Thus far, me + mobile phone.

The best thing to do if you are unhappy about the pies is, eat before the game. I used to work in the pie stall over at the west stand when people were allowed to stand there. I know what USED to go down in there, but i doubt it's the same now. My 4 years there helped me come to three conclusions, Aberdeen fans are chancing Jakes (No mate, I gave you a ?20), Dundee fans can wind themselves up in no time at all, and that you have no idea what goes on with your meat before you eat it. I would say that the best thing about a national franchise coming in is they will have strict quality control and hygiene standards that will be adhered to. As far as I can see, they are still using the same equipment that was there before they came in so give them time, and they will get it right. It makes business sense to please your customers. Also, I'm glad to hear that there were no macaroni pies as Saturday was the first time I went to get food at home in years but it took the whole of half time to get to 30th in the Que, and I reluctantly walked to catch the start of the second half. I would have been distraught, grief stricken, and maybe even suicidal to have waited just to be denied. Phew.

Our best defender since, er, Darren Dodds, I think. A fair bit more decisive than Munro and double the athlete of Ross Tokely.

I work in a studio (recording) in Glasgow. We don't do T.V work (unless you count shellsuit Bob and Rosheen from River City recording their panto tunes) but I have access to the required equipment to edit the highlights but, I suspect most people will have computers in their homes that will have the capability to do this. I have only been to 4 home games this season due to location and will probably only get to another 4, or 5 if we end up in a relegation playoff . Anyhoo, if someone wanted to film the games, and then e-mail them to me, I would be able to have the match highlights posted by Saturday night. That's the best I can offer at the moment. I would be able to film away games if the club we were visiting agreed to it but the only camera I have is an early HD sony badboy, but it would probably do the trick. If I can be of any help, please let me know.

If you ignore it, it will go away.

It was a stone wall penalty. Someone sitting behind me was shouting "Noooo don't!!!" right before Lionel ran in and wiped Griffiths out. Was in the box for sure. I've seen us play Dundee 3 times now and we should have won all three times. They don't like playing us and their fans view us as a big team, hence why they put on such a show whenever we play them. Griffiths is brilliant though and the Dundee fans know how to get behind there team. Well done to guy with his top of. I was wearing technical winter gear and felt like greeting I was so cold, so I reckon he had quite a drink in him. Duff was excellent, as well as Cox, Bulvitis, Rooney and Sanchez. Sanchez won quite a few headers today. I reckon Foran wasn't as up for it today as mush as usual but Eric did not look comfortable at all. I assume this was because he was out of position? Proctor was quiet and totally buggered up that throw in. The ref told him twice where to take it from and Bulvitis and Griffiths were both standing where the ball had gone out. Did anyone else notice Bulvitis and Griffiths becoming good mates the more the game went on? Lovely stuff. Who knows what happened with Rab for that free kick but all the Dundee players seemed to accept it. Good tactics from Butcher and well done to Munro for keeping Zadi in check and keeping the back four together.

Bring back the Euro 96 top and keep it forever.

If we lose the next two games, at home, I reckon he'll walk. If we win both, we've got him until the end of the season. A point or two points, and the fans will be holding out the white handkerchiefs* and he may walk in that scenario as well. Incidentally, do you reckon if we all held up handkerchiefs* he would go? It must be a hard thing to take. *my big Christmas big word
-
We have to keep him on principle, even if it puts us under. We can't put up with the bedding in phase just to let him go when he comes good.
-
There are many games until the end of the season, and if we win the next two at home, then that could well be our home form, and our season back on track. I believe it can be done. We've all seen Dundee play this season, and I thought they were as bad as us at the back, and just a bit better going forward. There is every chance they will lose quite a few before the end of the season.

Me plus 3. Sorry, 3 and I.

When do we need to stop paying Barrowload since he never seems to get used? That should free up a bit of cash. We should probably cash in on Imrie as well in January and get the ?3-4 Million that he's worth. I know he loves playing for this club and a move away from the North will hurt him bad but, we need to put the club first.
-
Or offer contracts that vary in value based on our final position. Maybe the players, understandably, would not to sign though. I'm sure the club must have thought of this sort of thing before. I can't believe it hasn't crossed their minds. Is it possible that the players have been offered contracts but are waiting until they know where Caley end up and this is a cover up to keep us of their backs?
-
I understand there is a budget to stick to but, why don't we offer 1 year extensions, but then sell, or release whoever we can't afford to keep in the summer?
-
I was going to leave it but I just can't. The subject title is 'Tevez wins the league for Man u', not 'How loyal are you to your big team?'.

Download command and conquer red alert. Absolute beast of a game.

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.

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.
-
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.

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.........
