I hate to say it but Derek Adams is a good manager

Plaaaaaay up pompey, pompey play up. Get it up ya, all the Liverpool fans on here.

Well done to Pompey, they deserved the 3 points. Liverpool were dreadful.

Are you actually a Pompey fan or just enjoying the Liverpool misery?

Im a man utd fan, and i was enjoying liverpools misery. But i cant say too much about that as we got humped by Fulham. I want pompey to stay up though i like them.

Ive only ever seen them come on as subs, shane sutherland looks promising. Im sure Sutherland will bag the goals in the third division

FT 0-0

Im not hearing much about the game on open all mics

City now 3 -2

Scum 2-2

Match of the day should be good tonight then

Good pricing for once

Dundee were getting beat 2-0 at half time in the Challenge Cup Final, and managed to comeback and win 3-2

A minor blip and the weekend.. United are still going to win the league

Wanna put yer (pocket) money where yer mouth is?

I'm not a gambling man... :P

C*unty's section G will be no match compaired to ours!

C'mon, we shouldn't kid ourselves. If the atmosphere actually stayed rather than being blowen into the sea, then you would be able to tell they are louder, though we were louder at County Away i think!

Yeah, hopefully the wind is travelling towards them, so they can hear all the nice songs about them

Good news!

Rafa seems to think liverpool will make top six this year... Birmingham have more chance

C*unty's section G will be no match compaired to ours!

Good stuff chaps and chapettes

I shall also be there .... in press box..... if one of the usual "hoodlums" would like to join the pink one for some "expert witness / aw things Caley minded" please text me or feel free to dander along to said area.

Pre-match pub banter also ---- The Commercial (open from 10am, good food and real ale and smack bang in the toon centre - 25 mins walk from EEP) and the EEI (good food, selection of beers and 20 mins walk from EEP - suitable for families) or ye could also of course dander to the Elizabethan - only 15 mins walk along Halbeath road to the ground.

Would be good to see a good away crowd from ICT. Enjoy folks

I dont think its fair, why should celtic have a reserve team in the 3rd division and no body else.

If this happened then how would it work out anyway... Where would they play there games?

My understanding is similar to yours Mantis.

What I would add to the discussion though, is that if you look carefully at the wording...certainly for the Scottish Legislation...there's no mention of "sitting" anywhere. All it states is that Stadia over a certain size must be all-seated. The only reference ever made to "you must sit" is by the SPL, and even then that was issued by way of a letter of interpretation to clubs and is not, or wasn't the last I checked, in the SPL Handbook.

I would need to go back and refresh my memory, but as I understand it, there's nothing in Scottish Legislation that states Stadia belonging to clubs in the top flight must be all-seater, only that those with a capacity of over 10,000 seats must meet certain criteria. So again, the need for all-seater stadia for Scottish top flight football is an SPL requirement and not a legislative one.

I've often wondered why, since so many clubs in Scotland seem against the "All-Seater" criteria, do they accept it? Certainly through my dealings with various people at ICT over the years it would seem to be that they are either ignorant of the actual rules and legislation...although in their defence they tend to get training/guidance from the SPL on the matter...or they simple chit their pants at the mere mention of the words "Health & Safety" and tend towards the ridiculous for fear that anything comes back on them.

Any senior steward or police officer who is out there "on the front line" as it were and they will tell you (off the record of course) that they would far rather be looking after terracing. It's easier and safer for them to deal with issues there than to be tripping over people and seats to get in to deal with something in an all-seated stand. Ask first-aid and ambulance crew and they will tell you the same.....they will also tell you that most incidents they have to deal with come from people falling over seats, catching an ankle in them and (from personal experience) cutting shin on the back of one because you have to squeeze in and out.

As far as I can ascertain there's no logical reason why seating would, or should, be considered any "safer" than terracing and whilst some older terracing might have issues with crushing etc, these are things that could be rectified easily and within the financial means of any club (certainly cheaper than having to build whole new stands).

When this subject comes up, fans normally argue it from the point that "we've done it for years", "it's our right to stand" or "you get a better atmosphere in terracing". All arguments which are easily dismissed. What we need is a change of tact and to approach it from the angle of questioning why these rules exist and who put them in place. Clubs are happy to blame the relevant footballing association, who in turn point the finger at legislation....and in most cases they are feeding back misinformation and half truths which are heavily spun to support their stance. We are far too quick to accept this and need to break down the misinformation and challenge the situation from club level up. Win over the clubs and they will pressure associations (which they make up), win over the associations and they can then battle any legislation they feel is a hindrance.
