  1. 33 could be the number of appearences Andy Marrowman made in the 2008-9 season for the massive haul of 2 goals.
  2. I don't often buy a lottery ticket but yesterday morning I decided I would. And rather than do the normal (un)lucky dip I thought that I would use ICT as my inspiration and chose the following numbers. 7 - being the number of games in the winning run (before the Ayr game) 9 - being the mumber of points we were leading the league by 19 - being both the number of matches we had gone undefeated and the number of matches won 22 - being the number league goals Rooney had scored 32 - being our goal difference 34 - being the number of games played With the lads producing a stunning 7 - 0 victory things were going well - and then the draw was made with the following numbers 1 4 12 23 33 40 Not a single feckin number right Oh well. Back to reality.
  3. And much less expensive..... Cheaper and less expensive? Yes, I've heard them bleating about how much they get paid.
  4. Whilst I have some sympathy for giving a chance to the fringe players, I would urge Terry to go with what he feels is his strongest attacking line up for a number of reasons. 1. The fans want to cheer those players who have achieved so much in the last few weeks. 2. The players who have acheived so much deserve to play in this final game in front of a celebrating crowd. 3. We want to continue with the winning run and end the season on a winning note. 4. We have a score to settle with Dundee. We need to demonstrate that we are a better team than they are in a head to head. 5. We will need our best team to beat Dundee. Make no mistake, they will be out to ruin our party - they have been humiliated in the run in and will want to cut us down to size. In addition, they will be playing for contracts in a situation where the future for them at the club is very uncertain. I expect a very hard game with us winning 2-1. Hayes and Munro to score.
  5. Agree with Davie too but its a shame that some people can't spot the tongue in cheek remarks (of which there have been a lot in the last 24 hours) and simply ignore them if they don't appreciate the gentle humour. I think some folks brains have been addled by either too much refreshment last night or they simply can't cope with having nothing to criticise the team for. For my part the "invasions" were clearly harmless high spirits and should be a non issue. By the way, did anybody bring back any of the turf from the pitch? There's a bare patch on my lawn which needs replacing.
  6. I expect the Dundee fans to bring white flags next week.
  7. The simplest thing would be to unite behind the manager and all bring English flags.
  8. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2004/no...knowledge.sport This link includes the following statement "Latvian hotshots FK Venkspits had eight different scorers in an 8-0 Uefa Cup preliminary round win over B68 Toftir of the Faroe Islands". So it was not a record yesterday but obviously very unusual.
  9. Perhaps County would have more success in scoring goals and winning games if Adams learnt to do what Terry only rather belatedly did. That is to stop picking Barrowman and play somebody who understands that the aim of the game is to get the ball between the posts.
  10. Why did Rooney only score one? Was he not trying? Is he suffering a dip in form? Seriously though, don't know if it is a record but it's only one better than Huddersfield who won 6-0 away from home yesterday with 6 different scorers. Perhaps this is not as unusual at the feat of Chris Nichol playing for Aston Villa several years ago when he was the only scorer in a 2-2 draw.
  11. Seventh goal, seventh scorer, seventh heaven! What a team and what a way to celebrate the championship!
  12. For me it was the first game of the season - the stunning victory over a Montrose side brimming with confidence and eager to humble the newly relegated big boys from the North. For 90 minutes the game was the most awful rubbish you have ever seen. One wag asked whether we would get our money back if we stayed for extra time. When it was announced that there would be extra time of 15 minutes each way, someone shouted "can't you make it 5!". The next 30 minutes was even worse. Then to penalties. We went first and the first four penalties were converted for ICT and one missed for Montrose and then up stepped Lionel. Was he nervous? Was he afraid of ICT being humbled should he miss? Not a bit of it! Up he stepped and cool as you like, chipped the ball past the despairing keeper! I realised then that the previous 2 hours of dross was just play acting. It was all meant to deceive so that the game could be decided on penalties and we could be treated to Lionel's touch of Gallic brilliance. Such a game plan required supreme confidence and I knew in that moment that the players believed and therefore I believed as well.
  13. :( No pitch invasion, please. We don't want the team to have 10 points docked as a punishment! :D
  14. Thats a bit old school dont you think! Corrected question. That's a bit old school don't you think? Answer. No! If you are looking for something a little newer there is apparently a song called "The Butcher's Last Dance" by Buckethead which is a very convenient 45 minutes long. Apologies if anyone has already mentioned this but I have not read all the thread - got bored with all the stuff older than "Up where we belong". Enjoy the party at Ayr, son!
  15. What a first post! Great stuff! But can anyone name all the scorers?
  16. Seems to illustrate a great team spirit
  17. Really looking forward to paying more to watch us lose more often! Seriously though, after the euphoria of this stunning achievement, we will have to have some realistic expectations for being back in the top flight on a very limited budget. We've got used to winning but that will come to an end. One place above relegation will do fine for me next season and everything above that will be a bonus to savour.
  18. Anyone know the way to Alloa?
  19. Thanks Elgindee - much appreciated. And you're most welcome to the party on May 1st
  20. Hark! Is that a fat lady I hear singing?
  21. Coincidentally, I heard that that the Ross County team bus broke down briefly on the way back from Dumfries last night
  22. The orchestra may be playing the intro and the fat lady may have taken a big deep breath - but she aint started singing yet!
