It's said somewhere before that Marius clapped his cheering fans behind the goal on tuesday, for longer than he usually does. I too noticed this and have a disgusting feeling that this was his last game in a ICT shirt. In support of Marius, we shall no doubt still have his flag and chant his name for a couple more seasons to come. He has been an asset to the club in my opinion, and the board are using him as a pawn in a very sickening game of chess. A player of his calibre, not to mention his personal handling of the entire fiasco, only goes to show the club that they are indeed a shambles.

indeed is is mate. We were given a date back in early june for the final. Pheonix rejected the date as they would be unable to field a team. the revised date we had to reject as we would be short. after much confusion both team agreed saturday - and now this. christ knows when we'll get our winners medals now :001:

can't get more amatuer than this................ Divison 1-2 cup final postponed (re-arranged date yet to be confirmed) the reason............... Head of the amatuer league forgot to book a dam ref :029: :018:

we've had it rough this season. we won our first match of the season, but suffered 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 defests. one match we were 3-1 up with 10 minutes to go, and somehow managed to loose 5-3. :018: but our cup runs have been our better time of the season. we played the league leaders in the semi final of the division 1/2 cup - trailed 4-1 with 20 to go and won 5-4. Was by far the best game I have seen/been involved in years. Too many players trying to act like Ronaldo, ronaldinho and drogba - so many times i have found myself in space, shouted for the ball only to see it somehow head back to our own goalkeeper... kind of like when we played county on tuesday!!! :023:

At least Gringo will still be able to admire him - maybe even offer him a room on the cheap? :blah01:

not a food, but perhaps a strange combo with me is my smokes. liquorice papers with mentol tips... needless to say not many people ask me for one. :024:

Oh - and if any of the ICT coaching staff are reading this, kick off is 3pm saturday, Ardersier pitch (next to Gun Lodge Hotel) - so if you want to pop down for a bit of scouting *ahem* then I belive a former trialist *ahem* may get a game *ahem ahem* (**** cough) :blah01:

9-times-from-10 I am on the bench, and usually play the last few minutes up front. Had 2 full games this season (as we only had 10 players turn up each time) and played down the right flank both times - not good when we usually stick to the left!!! Problem with our side is that we dont work as a team. It's either ball hogging or long ball stuff. rarely any inter-playing. I kind of feel like the Rory McAllister of our squad (only better ! ) - always waiting for a start, forever waiting on a decent delivery into the box and not got a goal all season. lol

Spoke to him a few times after welcoming team off bus whilst killing time before a game (after a long journey up from coventry of course) Never managed to persuad him to de-tour down the road though. Fitting tribute indeed... :clapping03:

I say take the flag anyway. If he plays or not, us fans shaould still show our support for our romanian international star. Marius Niculae, marius Niculae :023:

Newcastle Utd do something very similar but instead of a set ?100, you bid for your place. I would certainly be up for this.

I currently play for Smithton hotel in the Welfare League 1st Division. We're currently bottom of the league (6 points from safety) with 2 games to go... both games against the top 2. We also have a cup final this coming saturday v pheonix (3pm kick off at ardersier). We've been looking for players since the start of the summer league, and are unable to sign new players - but we'll no doubt need more players come next season still. We play our final 2 matches at Culloden pitches next friday and the monday after that... i think. you're welcome to come along and speak to the gaffer

I doubt the club use Daz at the moment buddy - but I'm sure there is more to just his supposed wages and transfer fees going on behind the scenes. ICT have left fans in the dark over various saga's over recent years (Wyness and rankin to name a couple) and I have no doubt they will sugar coat anything else the press or us fans speculate on. It's a sad state of affairs when a club treats an international player of Marius calibre like this.

Kepp him keep him keep him. I don't tend to believe much in the press regarding Marius these days, as with what Scotty pointed out on a previous thread, it's all lies and rubbish coming from the club/journalists. If ICT were so eager to rid themselves of marius, then they surely would have done it with the firs or second offer that came to them, not wait and see who else might offer and meet their own valuation. ICT budgeted for Marius 2-year wage to enable all parties to honour the contract. I see this as nothing more than politics within the club and nothing to do with finance or player quality - and lets face it, Marius hs plenty of it (quality i mean). With all the support the club and fans gave to Marius, not to mention the praise he has for us, it seems nothing more than disgraceful to treat him so appaulingly. This is just my opinion and everyone is entitled to it, but i am seriously seething about how this saga has made the barrowman signing look so dull and miniature!!! :008:

Although it may be a god pirce of business, it oes almost nothing for the club on the field. Pre-season matches are due to kick off within days - what would be the point of starting marius and barrowman up front if we're evenually left with just barrownam and Rory/gary/Dougie? ICT should be looking to extend marius contract for 12-24 month, especially if he has a great pre-season under his belt - allow him to perform on the park for one more full season and maybe then sell him next year. This way we have a superb striker to see us through the next campaign and also reep the rewards finacially should the likes of Lisbon, Bucherest etc etc come back in. Who knows, he may well end up gaining ICT more than the ?500k-?1m that ICT are looking for. He came to life half way through last season and I for one think he has the makings of an ICT legend (if he isnt already).

Already done

We too recieved a note through the door - which I think is enough. A reminder to renew is welcomed but not everyone will want to renew for various reasons like I said previously. The chances are that some people (myself inculded) may want to wait and see where their own circumstances can fit into the football calender and hope to get a half season ticket at a later stage. I for one, cannot afford, nor guarentee time off work, to justify buying a full season ticket. I am therefore resigned to not renew this year.

After last years fiascoe at work regarding time off to use my season ticket, I have taken the option to pay at the gate this season when I can make games. Many people may well be in the same boat, or just simply take a dislike to how the club is being operated at the moment. I probably only attended 50% of home games last season, and even the bairns didnt go much as they ave lost interest in going. all in all it was a wase of money. A mistake I dont intend to make again. Holders pay a fair price for their seats, yet when they see players getting messed around during a campaign (Contract talks, rumoured dressing room bust ups etc etc) and the dull football (long ball rubbish) that has been on show, it's hardly any surprise that sales are down. And like Mrs PB said, their is no incentive to renew early. You can be a member of the centenary club or supporters club and still the rewards such as priority tickets for OF and cup matches.

I wonder if that means they are lining up another friendly in engerlandshire? perhaps a trip to the ricoh arena so Gringo can make a match close to home. :blah01:

have we not missed 35?

Definately cant get the time off work for this once RiG. Perhaps next year? that'll give more people time to think and decide

**** I'm working all weekend :019: There have been a few threads before about a forum football team. I'd certainly be interested in taking part. I currently play for Smithton Hotel in the Welfare league Div 1 and have noticed Caley Thistle Social FC are mid-table in Div 4.... I wonder if they're in need of any new players, or fancy a 'merger' with CTO :015:
