I can't believe we've all forgotten the time TCS was treated to a virtuoso performance by the most valuable player of all, Gareth Bale.

Everton say £13m, Wigan say £15m, according to BBC.

Juninho crossed my mind, but only played against us at Parkhead it seems, and only sold for £12m anyway.

Good shout, played here once in 2005 and scored.

Will be interesting to see if Everton actually move for James McCarthy this evening, with talk of a £10m-£15m deal.

Roughly the same as his legal bills.

Chris Hogg played some pre-season games for Gateshead, but didn't get a deal in the end. Hereford gave us Ryan Esson and Marley Watkins, and also took Dan Stratford off our hands, so I know who I'd be supporting!

The crazy sums of money being bandied about on European transfer deadline day got me wondering. Which player to have graced the TCS turf has commanded the highest transfer fee (at any point in his career)?

Based on what we have seen so far this season, this is by far the best ICT team ever. It's not just the results, or being top of the league, it's the fact that each win was fully deserved after a dominant performance, we've been strong all over the pitch, and as an added bonus we are playing very attractive football too. Enjoy!

All of the wealthiest people I know are pensioners. It makes absolutely no sense to give them a discount based on nothing but their age, in fact it is pretty scandalous in these days of supposed equality and non-discrimination. Kids get a discount because they are the future of the club, but pensioners clearly aren't! Seeing as they tend to be the first to grumble and the last to give vocal support, I'd rather see them forced to pay a premium to get in. I can upset pensioners safe in the knowledge that I can outrun them.

Not only have I seen countless water bottles allowed into the ground, I've often seen them being thrown onto the pitch, without punishment!

A forth stand would be used even less than a fourth stand.

Scored a famous winner v Chelsea, I recall.

Boyd needs to score v County. Stokes needs Partick.

The transfer window in Scotland closes tomorrow (Saturday at 11pm). Is this the first time we've ever approached transfer deadline day without any real desire or expectation for another signing?

I read a bit of trivia the other day that there are only 3 players who have scored against all 12 of the teams currently in the Premiership. Apparently Billy Mackay has 10 of the set, and I hope he makes it to 11 but not 12, if you see what I mean.

Be prepared for people asking you about the two ex-ICT players who went on to play for Watford!

Make the most of it, it will probably be a loooooong time before we play at Dens again.

I'm pretty sure we'll be playing this tie on Tuesday 24th, because Dundee Utd also got drawn at home and have a league game on Sunday 22nd so will want the Wednesday slot.

I'll be there, oh yes.

Dundee v ICT

Only an hour to go til the draw, folks.

Stranraer got a bigger crowd in the last round, but to be fair that was against much more glamorous opposition. Brechin.

Well, it's like going into a restaurant and eating a meal knowing that you don't have any money to pay for it.

Last season.
