  1.  

    Just raising awareness of an unworn remake ICT 1995/6 shirt that I'm selling on Ebay. Sold for £36 on Dunnottar Retro, but I've listed at £9.99. 

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333906048313

    I ordered two tops from Dunnottar last March, then they delayed delivery for months and months due to lockdown. I asked for a refund which they delayed and delayed, saying that the tops were on their way. Eventually they sent this one, which wasn't the one I ordered. I eventually got a refund after getting my credit card company to chase them up... and now have this top. Long-story-short, don't buy anything from them. Buy this one from me though, I'm sound.

  2. Pretty sure he started in the U18s win v Killie less than 24hrs before, scoring 2 goals. 

    Tough shift to travel down to Kilmarnock, play a match, travel back, then after a sleep jump back on a bus to Dundee and start a senior game...

    We completely deserved the win today...

    Agree with everything said in the above match report (cut down to save space). A few other things of note...

    When we play with Polworth as a RM it means we eliminate one side of the attack. Nothing came from that side in the first half, not helped by Raven being reluctant to get forward. Only in the second half when Raven pushed on and Polworth came inside did we get any threat from that side. Polworth' penalty was honking. 

    Chalmers at LB was poor. He was skinned a few times by their podgy winger and didn't make much of an effort to block crosses. 

    Calder did well running at his man, but much like Mulraney  he has no end product. He also doesn't communicate at all on the pitch which demonstrates a niavety/rawness that could hold him back. 

    My first impression of Susan is that he'll be punted by Xmas, following months of barren performances. Even watching him warm up was painful - poor first touch, limited pace and no strength despite his size. 

    Draper seems to be playing with the handbrake on. It was noticeable that he was easily able to shift up the gears once we'd gone 1-0 down, where he drove with the ball effectively. 

    Vigurs actually played not too bad in my opinion. All his passes went forward and he created several decent chances. The abuse is getting to him it seems though... where he issued a hand gesture "enjoyed by the ICT Twitter account" to some pre-teens who told him to GTF after a woeful shot at goal straight from ko at 1-0. 

    Our CBs both did well I thought, especially Brad McKay. It was noticeable that he was limping throughout the second half, so hopefully he'll be fit for next weekend.

    As there was no 4th official to do it, the referee had to inspect Warren himself before allowing him back on as it was a blood injury. 

    This. It's in the laws of the game, so the ref did the right thing by waiting until the ball was out of play.

  5. A few observations today...

    Seedorf was great. I think RB will be his permanent position, despite spending time at CB and CM in the last two games. I still think he's too slight for a central position, but at RB today his touch, movement and passing was excellent. I reckon Raven is that other player that is rumoured to be offered out for free with OFW. 

    Polworth was awful. Since seeing him play for Scotland schoolboys on SkySports I've been desperate for him to become a superstar in the team, but he seems to have stalled in the last 12 months. He's obviously lacking confidence and needs a goal or MOTM performance to get back on track. 

    Baird/Oakley combined quite well at times. Baird played better, but Oakley was the only ICT player with black boots... so he wins out despite doing very little. 

    Warren/Mckay were more than comfortable as a CB pairing and from what I've seen of the Middlesborough loanee I reckon those three are good cover for the season.

  6. Daryl Duffy was apparently playing up front for us today. He was not very good. 

    There was also a half time stadium announcement for a Mr Alan Gow to report to the team tunnel - which made me fear the worst!

  7. Up there with one of the worst ICT performances I've seen. I'm as happy clappy as they come, but I really fear for the coming months considering how many first team players were in today's team - who were comfortably bossed by a L2 side. 

  8. I spent a summer living in Cardross near Dumbarton about 5 or 6 years ago, where I went to all of Dumbarton's home pre-season games. I also tried every pub within the close vicinity of the ground and they were all bear pits :laugh:

    There is ypung lad from hearts that ribbon was coaching think his surname is Bikey.  Dundee Utd were after him.but apparently he is ready to sign.for us. Ribbon a big influence on him.

    Bikey from Stirling Albion? Hearts seemed to sign him because Hibs were interested, then loan him back to Albion before eventually releasing him (I think).

    Well we'll not be signing Blair Yule then.  He's gone to Arbroath.

    There was no chance of us signing him. He's on decent money in his job, so will be making more staying part-time. 

  11. I was in the home end behind the Elgin goal for Doumbouya's winner (watching with guys I grew up with in Elgin). Looked suspiciously like an OG from where I stood. 

    There was a bit of shenanigans post match in the underpass next to Aldi. Some young ICT and Elgin fans doing the usual posturing then running away when actual punches are thrown. Hysterical to watch. 

  12. When I was young and John Teasdale was still playing/coaching at Elgin, I was once told he dated the girl from The Exorcist. Apparently met her when he was driving limos in America.

    When ye reach the away end tomorrow, be sure to keep looking left as you pass the leisure centre! We may just have something for you!!!

    A flood defense? I fail to see how that is related to the game...

    Could be a few hundred more with pay at the gate to 

    Aye, I would anticipate a 3,500+ crowd. There's a few guys I know from Elgin paying on the gate as they can't get to the stadium during the opening hours. It'll be the same story for quite a few folk. The sunny forecast may also tempt some people down.
