Alot of my mates from dingwall are getting tickets for the Falkirk end c*nts I'm an Aberdeen fan and this is my first post on any forum! tempted to come up from Stirling to support our fellow sheep-sha**ers! Possibly taking a Pars fan with me. Would a Dons and a Pars shirt be welcome?! Should we buy and would we be able to buy tickets?! Aye head online to book tickets, or give the booking office a ring. Prob best if you don't wear the Dons or Dunfermline strips though :mellow:

Mesage on answerphone says pay on gate and ?23.50 for adult in North stand!! I just bought my North Stand adults tickets for ?19.50 a piece online :mellow: Wait a sec, with the booking fee and postage that could make it ?23 if you are buying one ticket

I've just booked train tickets for the Saturday... and now i'm starting to wonder if our game will be moved to the Sunday for TV coverage??

Just booked mine for North Stand online. The away end is 100% going to be sold out I reckon, as quite a few 'Falkirk fans' will be heading down from Dingwall I reckon. Would love to see both our stands sold out, as this is THE BIGGEST game in our history. I'm away to watch 'Fever Pitch' to psyche (sp?) myself up :mellow:

I really really can't afford to go, but i've thought b*gger it... that's what credit cards were made for! Train tickets have just been booked. Match tickets as well. Going to take our TA Flag with me:

Remember seeing Juanjo at a pre-season game last year... possibly St Johnstone or Ross County?

Christ, i've just realised I know the drummer for MD! Ferg fae Lossiemouth :blah01: Small world! P.S. Really digging 'Rubber Lover' as well, despite not liking much of MD's previous work.

I'm sure I just heard Dougie McLean say that James McCarthy isn't playing today!? Boost for us if true

If it goes down to the last day, you can be sure that i'll be bringing our Tartan Army Flag with me to Tulloch Stadium...

Also off-topic, but it is Charlie Mulgrew that Clangers is kissing, not Considine. Considine was the one that directed the header past Clangers. I was at the match thanks to a free ticket from work

A poor man's Fillipe Morais Who will spend even more time injured!

I have a superstition for Scotland games where I wear a toothbrush in the place of a skean dhu. I was in a rush to catch the train from Aberdeen to Glasgow for the Faroes game at Celtic Park in the last qualifying campaign, so grabbed my toothbrush as I could brush my teeth in the taxi to the station. Upon getting to the station I shoved it down my sock so i'd have a hand free to hand over my ticket (and disguise the bag of beer!). We won that game 6-0, so I thought i'd do the same for the next game which was away to Lithuania. Another win. France at home next, so toothbrush was shoved down the sock for a third game running, followed by another win. I also found out that night, attractive women are extremely interested as to why someone would wear a toothbrush in their sock... "It is the modern skean dhu" i'd reply, in addition to saying that it seemed to attract attractive women! You'd be surprised at how many times that line has worked The next matches I could make were the home games v. Georgia and Lithuania... again both wins, whilst my toothbrush is down the sock. Flight to Paris next, where the toothbrush raised a few eyebrows at check-in and security. Another win! Incredible night... Ukraine match in glorious sunshine as well = win! The Italy match was the only one which did not yeild a victory, still gutted about that result :thumb04: I must make clear that it was a different toothbrush for each game by the way! I used to wear the same Saltire boxer shorts at every game, until I left them at a one night stand's flat the morning after one of the Scotland friendlies (I forget which).

That is a cracking idea. I'm away to the Home Economics department investigate whether this'd be easy enough to do. Being a teacher comes in handy for the strangest things!

Never been entirely sold by Marmaduke Duke. But I did a tour with the singer's other band Sucioperro (sp?) about 4 or 5 years ago, and they are lovely guys. PLayed with Biffy Clyro a few times as well and they've always come across as lovely chaps as well. Nice avatar btw

That's the one! Think i'm on to something here... Could always take one of the cult footballers on the Scottish parody Bj?rge Lillelien is the name of the commentator. Perhaps I can get a t-shirt commemorating his contribution to taking the p*ss out of Engeeerrland?

Quite. It has given me an idea for another t-shirt though... that Norway v. England game where the commentator was going mental with the "your boys took a hell of a beating". Off to investigate if such a thing exists...

Just in the process of sorting out some Home end tickets for the Norway v. Scotland game, since it looks like a few of our TA group might not have enough points for the 2,200 allocation which we've been given. Since we'll be in the home end (with a few Norwegian mates who are getting us the tickets), i'd rather not wear a Scotland top. I'll still wear the kilt, but would want something Norwegian to wear; preferably something a bit random. Thinking about making up my own T-shirt with a picture of Vetle Anderson (is he the only Norwegian ICT have had on the books?) Anyone help?

I read the other day that he is injured

St Mirren could be without 10 first-team players with Scott Cuthbert, Hugh Murray, Will Haining and Steven Thomson all being doubts through injury. Craig Dargo has joined Franco Miranda, Steven Robb, Stephen O'Donnell, Chris Smith and Tom Brighton on the sidelines at St Mirren Park. Inverness midfielder David Proctor is still missing with an ankle injury picked up in training last week. Richie Byrne and Eric Odhiambo also remain sidelined through injury. St Mirren (from): Howard, Ross, Camara, Cuthbert, Potter, McGinn, Thomson, Dorman, Murray, Mehmet, Mason, Brady, Hamilton, Wyness, Barron, McAusland, Burns, Mathers. Inverness (from): Esson, Tokely, Mihadjuks, Munro, Djebi-Zadi, Kerr, Black, Duncan, Foran, Imrie, Morais, Fraser, Duff, Hastings, Vigurs, McBain, Rooney, Barrowman. Mehmet showed last weekend that he's not fully fit as well, in addition to Hamilton playing very little games recently. I think they could struggle for goals (as they have done all season), I just hope we find some goals from somewhere. With Proctor injured it opens opportunities for a more attacking minded right midfielder (if Duncan isn't there again!!). Perhaps Morais or Imrie to play there?

I'm gutted at having work commitments over the next 4 or so weeks, which will mean I can't make any of the first 4 games. I'll be watching the Hamilton game on TV though and listening to the other games. Managed to keep the Falkirk game free though. A small part of me would love to see it go down to that game (only if we win it!), as it'd be a sellout and huge celebration.

Both just come back from serious injury recently... in addition to having waaaaay more experience at European and International level than Cowie, Black and Esson. As I said, i'm happy with the squad. Content that none of our players will get injured playing in a game that means very little. So why are they included then? Plus, I am sure that the B international was set up so players who didn't have international experience were given a chance to gain some. Unless Butcher has asked for his players not to be included (folly I think) then it's a disgrace, and I am actually ashamed to be from Scotland with this team. They are included to continue their international development. Wilson (captain of Scotland Under 21s a few years ago) and Naismith (also a former Scotland under 21 captain and has 1 full cap) are better players than any ICT player, and will have a greater chance of becoming a recognised International regular; so it makes sense for George Burley to keep their development going. This will also be the first time he has seen either player in a Scotland shirt during his time as the International manager; which will allow him to assess whether they'd be capable of making the step up to the full squad before the year is out. I'd rather players on the fringe of being in the first Scotland X11 play in this match, rather than players that have impressed at club level for perhaps a half season or so e.g. Imrie and Cowie. Surprised Black wasn't included as he's been solid for 2 seasons now, but I suppose that Red Card in the last B International wouldn't of helped

Scotland B squad That's not too bad a squad considering we can't select any players who'd be playing for Dundee Utd/Abdn/Hibs/Hearts and the teams in the Championship chasing playoff places.
