  1. Typical SPFL - we don't have a rule as such, we'll just make it up as we go along.
  2. Will possibly turn out to be a £53k gift from Dundee FC courtesy of Dundee Utd! That would just about pay for an extra player!
  3. Collected more points in April than any other team except Celtic so probably justified statistically. I guess it wasn't an option not to give it to anyone.....
  4. Anyone care to speculate on who these two mystery prospects might be? Given the carefully crafted statement from the Board I'm thinking they must be pretty confident of tying them up. I'd love one of them to be El Bakhtaoui but I'd be amazed if he doesn't get a better offer than we can make. surely it won't be another couple of midfielders?
  5. Quite right Scarlet but probably not as far back as you being a youngster! BBC Scotland HQ was opposite Botanic Gardens at end of QMD until they moved to Pacific Quay about 10 years ago.
  6. Spot on - to say this publicly shows a really poor grasp of man management. Even if by some miracle DR does stay how much respect will he have for a manager who effectively said he's not good enough to stay? The momentum and feel-good factor generated last season has been totally undone. Partly this has been beyond the Club's control with injuries and key players going on to bigger and better things. However the Board seems to have gone AWOL and JH has got carried away with his own hype and is increasingly making baffling tactical decisions and clumsy statements. Someone at the Club needs to be man enough to tell Yogi to take the blinkers off.
  7. The SFA tried to decide who plays when by drawing plastic eggs out of a fishbowl. Two of them contained small plastic toys and another turned out to be a real one which cracked open as it was taken out of the bowl resulting in a bit of egg on Stewart Regan's face. In the confusion the fourth egg was dropped and rolled under the sofa. An emergency egg retrieval committee meeting has been scheduled for 7th March to decide on a suitable strategy for getting it back in the bowl. When they realised that this is the day after the quarter final weekend an emergency 'meeting rescheduling meeting' was scheduled for 4th of March to investigate whether the egg retrieval meeting can be rescheduled. If not the results of the quarter-finals will be decided impartially and those clubs with the biggest fan base will progress to the semi-finals. Then they'll only need two eggs which surely even they couldn't feck up.....
  8. Did Asda send Willie Good-David for work experience to Aldi?
  9. Says on ICTFC.Com that you can pay cash at turnstiles from 2pm (subject to availability)
  10. According to the BBC the club has the option to extend his contract by a year. If that is correct then as you suggest his value should be higher.
  11. Perhaps Mr Bannerman or one of the other journalists on here can highlight this story of our fans' great gesture in Romania and indeed our club with the top-up cash. This would be very nice and positive PR in the press. I've sent a press release of sorts to the club so hopefully they will pass it on to the press.
  12. Just confirming that we have now donated £1,000 to FARA – a charity which helps some of Romania’s most vulnerable and neglected children. FARA (which is Romanian for ‘without’) provides homes, therapy and education for orphaned and abandoned children in Bucharest and other parts of Romania. £640 was left over after paying for the coaches, £50 was donated anonymously by one of the 'time of first goal' winners and Kenny Cameron added another £310 on behalf of the club to make it up to £1,000. Thanks to all who contributed and hopefully we'll be welcomed back to Romania next year! For further information on FARA you can visit their website at http://www.faracharity.org
  13. He was on trial at Brechin a couple of weeks ago and didn't make an impression - and they're almost as desperate for a striker as we are.
  14. The most concerning thing for me is that I don't think I've seen any quotes from Yogi recently saying that he actually needs a striker - he just talks about needing to be more "cutting" in the final third. His quote about Mutombo "He can play in all positions across the front, either on the wing, behind the first striker or as that first striker". He's presumably not been played as a striker much - if he has then his goal record is woeful and in any case 4 goals in his last 80 games is not exactly encouraging for an attacking midfielder. Maybe Hughes sees him as more of a striker than his previous managers but if this is the case (based on watching him just 2 or 3 times then it seems a pretty desperate gamble. Lopez has had a reasonable strike rate in his career but for the last 5 years has only played 20 games a season. For him to make a significant contribution he'll need to play more than he's played for years and play a lot better than he has in the last 3 games. I can only hope that Yogi's just playing his cards close to his chest and is quietly working on finding a striker. Yesterday's injuries won't help in the search for a striker as he'll now also have to concentrate on shoring up the defence. It is also a worry that, with the limited options currently available to him, Yogi seems intent on playing so many players out of position. I know that it's easy to be critical from the sidelines but the last time I felt so strongly that a manager had things wrong when Levein stuck resolutely with his 4-6-0 in Prague despite the fact that Scotland were every bit as good as the Czechs. I know his job can't be easy but sometimes a manager needs to look up as well and take note of what everyone around him is saying.
  15. That's great - thanks Chris wherever you are.....
  16. I still have prize money waiting for 5 winners of the ‘Time of First Goal competitions’ from the bus convoy. I know two of their names are Shona MacGillivray and James Vallano and the other 3 should have winning slips with the 0-0 result printed on them. Can anyone that knows Shona, James or any of the other 3 who did not get their prize money in Romania please get in touch with me so I can get their money to them. We managed to reduce the cost of the coaches so we have £640 left over which, after discussion with CJT, we have decided to donate to a Romanian charity on behalf of ICT fans. We are currently trying to establish which is the best charity to give the money to but it will be one that helps homeless children or orphans - I will let you know the name of the charity as soon as we decide and will make sure that ICT fans get some recognition for the donation. Finally – thanks to everyone who made the trip and contributed to a fantastic few days in Romania. Hopefully we can do it all again next year – maybe someone else will be stupid enough to book the first minibus next time……
  17. No worries - it looks as about exciting as Dingwall.
  18. Looking at Google Streetview it does but not a huge amount. I wasn't suggesting we drink there - that is just where the coach company picked up the Celtic fans from last year and they said it's convenient for them to park the buses up there. If you can organise the Strada Selari one then I would go with that. It's already been mentioned by others that we don't want to go to Bucharest and drink in an Irish Pub!
  19. 3704 now. 3919. 4153. I've not counted every dot but with 3 sections of south stand now available and virtually sold out already I think we are over 5,300. 4504 by my count. The front halves of those sections haven't been opened yet. Can you tell that the front half not available from seating plan or just privileged info?

  21. The pick up point is going to be opposite The Harp Irish Bar: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Irish+Pub/@44.4273482,26.098935,15.75z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x40b1ff16ebd77429:0x98e3759646093fb1?hl=en Still waiting for confirmation of departure time but your plan sounds good - presumably it's not far from The Harp? Cheers Eric
  22. Now have 7 coaches booked for Bucharest - Giurgiu transfer!
  23. I sincerely hope they manage to fill these seats and get some money in but that seems an 'Astra'nomical price. Do you see what I did there? Does anyone know how the Gellions are getting on with filling their plane?
  24. CJT were understandably waiting for confirmation from the club about any spare plane capacity and ticket allocation. With still no word from the club on this (as far as I'm aware) most people have already sorted their flights and we've organised coaches from Bucharest to Giurgiu so I wouldn't hold your breath. The rumour I've heard is that the team are travelling out and back in about 24 hours - presumably coming straight home after the match. If this turns out to be true it seems a bit short-sighted. The big cost is getting out there - staying an extra night and giving the players a proper chance to train and relax wouldn't have cost much more and would surely maximise the chances of winning.
  25. A facility to pay online by Paypal / credit card will be set up here in the next couple of days. We'll let you know when and how to pay
