Pretty audacious Must have taken some practice and a few times falling over the ball to get it right!!!

Thankfully the rule probably won't be a hindrence to ICT next season as look at the age of some of our players but I agree it is a stupid rule and a bit outdated like most things in Scottish Football. Hopefully it gets abolished should league restructuring take place. It's also worth noting that the rule states it must be outfield players so effectively if you don't have decent youngsters you could have three redundent subs if you include the keeper!

All three games kicked off on a Saturday at 3pm meaning they couldn't be screened live on ALBA or any other channel in the UK for that matter. These games haven't needed to be moved for TV viewing, it's just another channel trying to pull in a wider audience and I see no harm in it.

Where would sport be without this 'rivalry suff' ........... it's an integral part of every sport and least not football. Has to be C*unty winning the Scottish Cup, the aftermath would fizzle out eventually unlike England winning the World Cup. Look at how '66 crops up in everything and not just football

Agreed, from the minute he lost the ball I watched him and knew way before he got sent off what he was going to do. It was like he was saying well we're gonna lose so stuff it lets make it about me rather than the team. From that point I think it made up Butchers mind and as others have said too give me Johnny Hayes any day of the week. It would have been interesting to see how Imrie would have faired in the last 5 games of the season had Hamilton finished in the top 6? Not very well I would think.

I prefer the 4-2-3-1 formation as it's very versatile and can be adapted far easier than the conventional 4-4-2. For more defensive minded games you can pull it back to 4-5-1 and have your wingers push forward when attacking on the break and that would allow your 2 sitting men to still be effective should you get caught atacking. While defending it packs the midfield and hopefully stops teams playing in the centre of the pitch and resort to long ball. Obviouly with this you are relying on your full backs reading the game well and not getting caught from the long ball or quick counters leaving the centre backs exposed. Teams playing 4-4-2 in my opinion find it difficult to deal with the one sitting AMC player as he floats and can pull either a midfielder or defender out of position leaving space for the wingers to run into and feed the striker. I think sticking to the tried and tested 4-2-3-1 is better to start with and if it doesn't work then change it, look what happened this season when the team got used to a formation and starting line up.

hopefully this is a bit of tongue n cheek?

If anything you've got to applaude the optimism Being a realist no I don't think we can the league but go into each game with the belief we can win it but there's a difference between having the belief and having the capability and resources, for me if the players show the belief that they can go into every game to win it then I'll be happy. If they do have the belief then I am sure we'll comfortably stay in the SPL which should be the ultimate aim then we can build on it and move forward.

Now that scummy Falkirk got a taste of their own medicine today who would you like our first game of next season to be against? Personally I would love to see us start at home against Aberdeen. My thinking is that McGhee will rip the team apart and bring in a whole new squad meaning they won't have had time to gel together yet we have kept the nuclius of our squad and the understanding is there. Out of all the SPL teams Aberdeen are the team I most want us to p*mp next season and seeing McGhee get pelters on the opening day would make me chuckle ......................

As much as it pains me to say so I agree, if they can keep Rooney fit then they are a good bet although they always seem to choke. I would love to see Argentina win it as they have some amazing players however Maradona's shocking team and squad selections during their quailfiers doesn't bode well, it'll be interesting to see who he picks in his squad. My money is on Spain though and even if Torres and Xavidon't make it they still have Villa and can call up the likes of Fabregas too. Expect a few shocks, I think Portugal and Italy may struggle to qualify from their groups and may even take a punt on that.

I take pride in supporting anyone who plays against England and cheering them as loud as I can. Nothing would cheer me up better than seeing them lose in the semi-final to Germany in penalties after Terry skies it over the bar ............... the words 'get it right round yea' would be heard in South Africa from Aberdeen. Although my great dislike of the Auld enemy comes pretty much solely from the fact that they think they have the god given right to win everything and if it wasn't for the media I probably wouldn't dislike them as much (when I say them I mean everyone that wears an Engerland shirt on the pitch) ABE!!!

In terms of coverage it was extremely poor and to not even have a picture of the trophy being lifted was ridiculous, it doesn't matter if we won the league with two games to go or not it still warrants at least a picture especially if you take into account that Livingston won the Third Division before their final game of the season but even they got a picture in the Winner (not quite the full team but still a picture) It is even more baffling when you look at todays Sun and we're spread over page 10/11 which no one has picked up on yet. If you get the chance go and buy one, you'll be able to use these, if you can't get one let me know and I'll post it onto you for your scrapbook for your grandson

In future i'm going to sit a the very back of the mainstand and if I can't get though a game without being told to sit down, i'm off to the North stand. People round about us didn't even clap for the players as thier names were being announced, and some had left by that point!!! We sat in the main stand on Saturday for the first time and to be honest it was more for a better view of the presentation at full time but I'll be going back to the North stand next season so I can sing and shout and get behind the players without feeling uncomfortable ............... I wasn't told to sit down but was waiting for it.

I'll buy them anyway no mater what design it is. I do hope that the material is changed though as the away one was shocking this season, mine is full of pulls and little rips but I didn't mind the design on the top.

...................... oops look like Caleyjag was logged in on my computer and I didn't realise before I posted this :D

It was so selfish of TB to block me out of the photo, anyone would have thought it was all about him I'm not in the P&J pic but was reliably informed this morning by Caleyjag that I was in the one in the centre pages of The Sun :P

I'll be there with Caleyjag

As a few have said there's not a lot that can be said that hasn't been said already but I still have to say thank you for helping make it a great day before and after the game. The atmosphere beforehand was great and myself and friends were a little diappointed that we didn't get there sooner but the free taxi to the game at quarter to three was much appreciated. It is great testiment also that we zig zagged our way back from the ground to the pub to carry on our celebrations (zig zagged because we were lost and not drunk lol) There's not many places that would open up their pub to an away support the way you did so again thank you If we're ever in Ayr again we'll pop in by

Agreed, for me it was the sacking of Jocky Scott. I always had faith in the team but as soon as I heard on Sky Sports news he had been sacked I said to Caleyjag that that had just won us the league and she said she thought it would galvanise Dundee ........... how glad am I that I was right There are so many instances though that you could say showed it: 3v0 against them, Forans winner against Raith (the whole of our area heard us both roaring in delight at the radio), Rooney's penalty against Partick and TB being relieved of his Scotland position and not doing tv work. I always believed but it didn't help my nerves and even last Saturday when we were 2v0 up against Dunfermline I was shaking like a leaf :004:

Absolutely tremendous achievement to bounce straight back up. Congratulations to TB, MM all the backroom staff and the players. SPL football here we come again :021: Roll on party on Saturday

Megabus is your cheapest bet, me and Caleyjag got return tickets leaving Aberdeen Saturday at 07:15am and geting in Glasgow at 10:50am for ?12.00 each, we're saying at my brothers in Glasgow Saturday night and getting bus back up Sunday. Have a look on megabus.com if you want the cheaper option (the trains cost a fortune)

If it helps anyone out you can get the train from Glasgow central to Ayr every 30mins >on the hour and half hour) and it takes just short of an hour to get to Ayr. It is the same on the way back as well. The ground is about a mile from the train station as well just over the river. I'm sure an off-peak return ticket is aroung about ?8.95 from central to Ayr.

Add me and Caleyjag to the growing list Just booked our megabus tickets from Aberdeen to Glasgow then we'll scum it on the train lol

At the moment the emphasis surely must be on trying to keep as many of the players we currently have running out of contract, consistency is a must in the SPL and we all saw what happened at the start of this season when we had to bring in so many players and knit them together. If we could keep the nucleus of the team together that would go a long way towards trying to stay in the SPL. I don't think we'll lose Foran as if he was going to leave he would have done so when we went down and his foresight having not moved must have been going back up with us.

Me and Caleyjag will be there, I'm usually the one who's shouting forgetting there's kids sitting around us :D
