I agree with others and don't cut it up, chances are as much as someone says they want a bit of it, ultimately it'll end up stuck at the back of a drawer or the bottom of a box just being a piece of blue material for the most part. Surely keeping it whole and auctioning or even raffling it off would give you some return, all be it not all your investment, but piece of mind the someone else has kept it in tact with the potential to do something with it. At the end of the day, once it's cut up there's no going back.

If you listened to JR's post match interview you would have heard him say that we should have seen the game out, should have made a side ward pass that even if it had of went out the park would have been better than trying to play forward and lose the ball resulting in the goal. JR got his tactics spot on last night in my opinion, apart from one or two of his late substitutions, and certainly in the first half we were well in control, extra man in midfield compared to County and we had the game in our hands. First half I though we were excellent and for the part in the second half we played well but got leggy which ultimately caused them to equalise. Even if we hadn't tried to play offside/claim offside I believe we still would've been caught out by pace from that ball, yes the defending was poor but ultimately a stupid pass further up the field caused it. I agree we need to play the game out smarter, that's not from the lack of tactics from the manager but more a lack of intelligence from the players and possibly a lack of belief. There's no way JR talks that way after a game but doesn't impact it on his players, he was as frustrated as the rest of us. We should always play to our strengths and if that means continuing to push on and press but with a slightly deeper back line then so be it but we cannot control a game from halfway inside our own half, we don't have a player that can do it.

I was at uni in Glasgow and my flat mate went to the game, I always wonder if he posts on here. While my ICT days only really started 10-11yrs ago when Caleyjag's influence took over, I still remember the result and fall out quite clearly.

Simple answer is improve the quality on the pitch, it's not rocket science. There will always be a hard core element of fans who'll go no matter what, then you get the element who on the whole will go if they haven't got anything else planned then you have the rest who will go when the team plays well. Happens at every club in proportion and will always continue that way. I fall into the middle category where life dictates when I can go and this season has slipped away from me but I'd love to go to more. No amount of match day entertainment or better facilities will change that for me and I believe that the increased costs involved for putting on this type of activity outweighs the benefits through the turnstile.

What utter nonsense, back in my day blah blah blah. I've been going to football matches for near 30hrs, various clubs the length and breadth of the country not necessarily to watch ICT just to see a game and have heard fans all over react like said fan mentioned in the original post. It happens everywhere, at every ground, every week of the season and it won't change. Yes there's ways to go about it but no one person is the same and everyone reacts differently, if you take offence to it do something about it, don't take to an online fans forum and vent your frustration making out it's much worse than it is. It paints a bad light on the rest of the fans.

Couldn't agree more, I too was guilty of having more than my fair share of discussions about this and now I'm bored of it. How does a post like this help our current situation other than causing further divisions on the forum between posters, move on, accept it and look forward. We're in serious danger of becoming that club that always looks back and thinks what if.

Forfar @ 2.62 please

Dunfermline v County draw @ 3.50 please

I'm sure the club and management weighed up what small additional income we'd receive versus what he could offer on the pitch and decided to take what little we could. Not knowing the full story behind why we accepted the offer, possibly he signaled his intent privately that he wasn't going to renew his contract. If it covers a week or two's wages then it's decent business, yes that sounds grim reading it back but if that's the level we are currently at then so be it. We've had bigger players leave in the past and survived and will again, no player is bigger than any club and one out is another players opportunity. Until Robbo pulls the shirt back on to play up front I won't be worrying. Anyway with the kind of players we are attracting to the club we may well look to bring in a free agent.

Here's the thing Nathan, there's no easy way to break it to you .............. Scott Kellacher is your father

Agreed all on all fronts. We should be going into Saturdays game full of confidence and with nothing to fear, start brightly and try to blow them away within the first 20-25mins and I doubt they'll have enough to punch back. Having listened to a Gary Caldwell interview with Caleyjag on the radio a couple of weeks ago following one of their games, I'd love to see us do them, his attitude was appalling and treated the interviewer with complete contempt. Another manager to add to the list of dislikes that I currently have.

I don't think we can underestimate just how big a win that could be for us, I'm delighted that my prediction was wrong and I apologise for not having faith. Speaking to Caleyjag a while ago, I said that if someone can go on a decent run they'll either pull away or be right in the mix and I really hope that we can be that team that pushes on and the signs are there, take the frustrating draws away really we are in a good position. Really hoping that those around us keep taking points from each other as well.

Not that it makes a difference to the points and I could be wrong but I thought the crowd was 4843

I don't know the revenue split between the clubs for ticket sales but even if you say 50% each I'm sure the club will miss your £7.50 compared to the £32500.00 or whatever it may be from tv income. If you can't go, don't go, simple. I already told Caleyjag I'd loved to go but living in Aberdeen we now can't but I'm not whinging about it, instead I'm looking at the bigger picture in terms of finances for our club which we desperately need. It will never change and games will continually be moved to accommodate tv deals whether fans like it or not and at our level nothing fans do can change that, it would literally take a three figure attendance at this game for us to potentially be worse off financially and that's not going to happen. Yes some people who wanted to go will miss out due to travel, work etc but logically speaking given our allocation of tickets there's a lot more who would have missed out anyway had the game not been moved for tv and they wouldn't have seen it at all.

I feel and agree with your sentiment but I doubt it'll be called off barring a snow storm, with the money from the game RC can afford to have the undersoil heating on should it be needed. It's not so much tv putting pounds before fans but the SFA, if they had any balls about them they'd stand their ground and make tv work for it rather than just give it away but they always run scared. To be fair the clubs will make more from tv money than gate receipts so I understand their position as well.

Well I for one can't wait, whether it be picked for tv or not a game against our biggest rivals and a derby in the cup is something to look forward to, get excited about and dream of dumping them out. Regardless of how we are playing or they are playing we should all go into this game with optimism and hope.
