Anyone know if there is a way of getting a list of ICT players with the amount of bookings they've had this season so far? Pretty sure Bayne, Munro, Rankin and Dargo are walking a tightrope just now...!! Also, as a side topic: If Killen was sent off for the second time this season against Aberdeen last night, does that mean he gets a 2 game suspension? Effectively ruling him out of Hibs game with ICT

There's a pretty good chance i'll be there (free pies could seal the deal!) Also, off topic; i was watching the Aberdeen v. Hibs game in the Butcher's Arms on George St. (my local), and got speaking to the bar maid. Her son Jamie (didn't ask the surname) is in the Caley under 19s and supposed to be highly regarded at ICT. Now, after the ICT v. Celtic 1-1 draw earlier this season, i popped into the Butchers Arms, for one last celebratory pint; and in there was a kid with a ICT away top. A few of the regulars were telling me stories about this lad being the next big thing, and how Rangers, Celtic and Man Utd etc were all after him before he signed for ICT. I'm guessing its the same boy. I also remember a previous thread containing hints of this "wonderkid". Anyone care to elaborate on this guy?? I also got my pints for dirt cheap, since i was wearing my Caley top. Think thats the first time that has ever happened!!

Bon Accord is the one across from the Golf Course, a wee bit further up from the Caledonian... am i right??

Thinking about this in an entirely selfish way... It would be good for us if he got the boot, as there would not be the same rumours and speculation to when/if any of our players would be joining Dundee UTD come Jan or Summer. Am i the only one who is starting to get worried that Brown and Dargo haven't signed new deals yet. Especially as CC said he'd have another chance to sit down with them both in the international break.

Partly the reason he is leaving ICT is because Darren and his girlfriend want to start a family, and want to do it in their Edinburgh home. Barnsley is pretty far away from Edinburgh I think. Unless the wage increase tempts his gfriend to upsticks...

I live on Jamaica st, at the top of George st. But have lived at Hilton, King St, Holburn St, Hardgate over the years. I've tended to watch the games with mates in Aberdeen who are mostly all Dons fans. Noteable pubs include the Howff, Ma Camerons, and the Butchers Arms. Not sure if i can make the trip for ICT v. Dons game, as i'm teaching the next day. Probably looking to go to the pub for it, unfortunately with Dons fans in tow probably. Would be nice to know there are a few ICT fans in the pub though, so i'm not the only one cheering if we score/win (i've come very close to a kicking for games v. Celtic and Rangers!) Keep me updated... :clapping04:

I grew up in Elgin. To be honest, it's pretty much the same things that are going on now, that were going on back 7-10years ago. The difference is, that because of the hightened medai interest in Ned/ASBO stories over the last couple of years, its becoming a nationally reported story; instead of playground gossip like back then.

Loved it. Really enjoyed the Old town especially; excellent views at sun down, and a nice wee irish bar showing the Hibs v. Hearts game. The AIK Stockholm v. Helsingborgs game was a totally end to end affair! Don't think they have heard of a holding midfielder over there. Some really rash challenges going completely unpunished as well. Ended up as a 2-2 draw, with Helsinborgs equalising in Injury time. The fans there really know how to sing. One section known as the "Black Army", filled a full end behind one of the goals, and sang all the way through the match. Half Time pies were non existant, so settled on half time popcorn, hotdog and pint of lager :005: It was about £5 roughly for a drink, so we had hip flasks to take away that sting. Only went out properly on sat night (celebrating ICT beating the Gers), and that was around the old town, ending up at popular venue/club Debaser. Don't know what they put in the pints, but that hangover was crippling!!

I'd take Andrew Cave-Brown on loan, as he is very good right back. Could provide competition with Rossco.

I've lived in Aberdeen for about 6years (age 17ish-23ish); moved through for Uni, but now working as a teacher. There are a few other ICT fans up here, but i've only ever met about 1 or 2. Since it was the school hols when ICT beat Rangers, i was in AIK Stockholm's stadium (watching AIK v. Helsinborgs) jumping around when the full time score came through on my mobile. Got a fair few strange glances :clapping04:

One of my pupils got lifted for running onto the pitch when Charlie Adam scored for Scotland Under 21s against France Under 21s; that made for a funny night and subsequent week :clapping04:

Whole heartedly agree. Even last year i was calling for us to experiment with our formation, with perhaps a 3-5-2. I even seem to remember one or two pre-season games this season where we adopted a 3-5-2 formation. (v. Elgin City, and those Italian teams). I could be wrong though. As well as that, our Reserve side usually play a 3-5-2 as well don't they? At least its given CC food for thought.

New season starting soon?

Stuart Dougal. Quite happy with that, from what i remember he has been pretty kind with us. I expect differing views though :005:

So which games does he miss then?

Pre, During and post match Vodka Lemon will be 'all inclusive' :blob04: :drinking08: I'll have my hip flask in the sporran containing whatever duty free delight i buy on the way out :clapping04:

I'll be at the AIK Stockhom v. Helsingbourgs game, but my mobile phone will be at the ready for score updates...

Springfield bus fae Elgin, down to Hampden and back. Canna mind which pub it is we're going to, but its one of the ones a couple of hundred yards away from the stadium. Springfield Pub opens the back door for pints and rolls at 7.30am apparantly, then leave at 9am. I better pack plenty of non-alcoholic drinks too, otherwise this game will be a total blur!! :017:

Has anyone here been to Stockholm before? I'm going there for the weekend in a fortnight, and was wondering whether anyone had any advice, tips on must sees etc etc Found out that AIK are playing Henrik Larsson's team at home when i'm there, so going to try and get tickets for that one. Maybe wear my Caley strip to give him nightmares!!

Fandabbydozy :003:

This'll be the first home game i've made since the St. Midden one, after starting the new job in aberdeen. Just wondering which gates will be the best for all ticket. As i seem to remember at Boxing day Hibs game, and the St Mirren game, you could only pay at one or two gates.

Tonight!! Free entry, free music. Curio and carson are both excellent bands too, well worth coming down early for.

If anyone fancies a couple of drinks and live music, the ironworks is showing Strong Like Ox Curio Carson .... its free entry and is part of the GoHi events located here... http://www.goevents.info/gohishow.html Strong like Ox are on at 9.15pm-9.45pm if interested. www.myspace.com/stronglikeoxuk

Aren't Falkirk having to play a ridiculous amount of their away games against us in the midweek? For their sake i hope it is scheduled for a saturday...
