Funny moment with my mates after the Champions League final. Grant was making his way down the steps after getting his loser's medal... He was about to go the wrong way till the steward corrected him... "trap door this way sir" :015:

That's a good memory to have. Nice one Tommy.

The stewards unleash their secret weapon in the fight to clear the stands as quickly as possible... Nanananananananana Fart Man!

I've read this entire f*cking thread and I still don't know who we're playing.

Would it be going too far to say that Brew threw the game to make his point with Black?

The police maybe didn't explain themselves properly when they came up the first time. I noticed they did say to sit down at that time, however they let the boys stand almost till the end of the game. Remember I asked the policewoman what the script was and she told me that it was because of the goading between the fans that they had come up. ps. Fluffy sheep are wonderful, but f*ckin them is where its at.

Aye, quite agree with that. The Lothians & Borders Police were totally out of order this afternoon, both inside and outside the ground. After the match four mounted officers "shepherded" a small group of young ICT fans down Dalry Road towards Haymarket Station and none too pleasantly either. This left a very bad taste in the mouth indeed. Pity they wouldn't concentrate their efforts on the real louts and criminals. Young lads of course can't fight back like some of the gangsters they're too feart to take on. Quite disgusting. :008: I'm gonna be unpopular for saying this but here goes... I think the cops are takin a bit too much flak here. I was sitting at the end of the row next to the lads who got flung out and I had a word with the female officer (who was thoroughly decent) after she had spoken to the boys the first time just before half time. She agreed with me that the banter between sets of fans was sublime but what they had the problem with was not that the boys were standing up, but goading the other fans (both groups were doing it) who were only seperated from each other by a rotund steward (the sex offender) who couldnt have sprung into action with a written invitation never mind if a fight had broken out and another steward who was also totally anonymous until the cops came up. I even heard her get on the radio and tell her gaffer that nothing outrageous was being said and the boys should be left alone. She was being chatty because she wanted to find out where the boys had come from (obviously thought I might know - I didn't) and she knew they hadn't come down on a supporter's bus, so they'd been watching everyone since before they even got into the stadium. What she said to me was that they didn't want to spoil the craic and thats why they didn't tell the boys to sit down the first time they were spoken to. She was also talking about what they can do with fans who don't do as they're asked i.e. remove the entire row of fans resulting in the loss of those fan's home ground season tickets. So the cops were giving the boys plenty chances. Anyway, the game went on and Hearts scored and a couple of our boys jumped into the stairs and started winding up the Hearts fans (one of whom got his badge of honour by getting flung out right at the end). If they hadn't done that the police wouldn't have come back up. Fair play to the older folk who stood up and stuck up for the boys because they thought they were being harrassed for standing but the fact is they weren't being picked on for standing, it was because of the "aye, come on then, outside now, lets go" chat that was going back and forth between the fans. It also didn't help that the boys didnt do what they were told by the 8 foot tall copper without being told 3 times. I mean come on lads, you're not gonna win in that situation no matter how many white lightnings you've put away ;) As I said already the atmosphere was great and it was made by the boy's songs. I was creasing myself for half the game with the "you look like a sex offender", "oh f*ckin sheep is wonderful", "HIV capital" and "glad to hear you're still alive" shouts. Keep it up next time but be cool in front of the cops lads. Fair enough, the stewards often pick on folk because they're d1cks but the cops don't get involved without a reason.

I don't think any of us are getting any pleasure out of the club at the moment. If we didn't at least have a laugh about it we'd feckin cry.

I'd be happy for us just to score a goal, the way we're playing

I totally disagree. Ours is a wee club but it is run in a sustainable way so the chances of us ending up like Gretna are slim.

Yeah, and its the journalist's job to dig deeper when they hear a rumour to see if they can substantiate it. IMO I don't believe they're trying hard enough.

I don't even bother reading the sport section of the Courier when I'm home as it tells me nothing that I don't already know. Its like the official ICT Newsletter. The real story about Rankin or Parky leaving would've made good reading.

These things happen from time to time. If Alex McLeish believes the player didn't mean it then that's good enough for me. I was glad to hear Wenger retracted his post-match comments and I think Sky did the wrong thing by not just playing a replay and the reverse angle after it happened. I think Andy Gray was the commentator saying something like, "I cannae handle this its horrible don't show it". It should've been shown straight away just to prove that it wasn't a deliberate and cynical tackle. It was horrific looking but Eduardo will recover.

Its cool I've got it on channel 719 if you've got digital council telly and not sky

Thanks but I already tried that... If you click that link then where do you go?

tryin to listen to the game online but i cant find it!!!

I don't trust him. He's got that shifty eye a bit like the leader of the BNP You're right, trustworthyness is all in the eyes... Exhibit A: Abu Hamza Exhibit B: Blackbeard the Pirate

His website i.e the window to his business, is woeful. Absolutely appalling. It looks like it was done by Timmy from South Park, and that would be disrespectful to Timmy.

Me too, I was a tradesman

I don't like the sound of this guy one wee bit. Not just because he's made money in the sex industry but because of his bullsh1t tough talk, suggesting the guys who got us where we are aren't good enough to take us forward. Very disrespectful. Maybe I'm being a bit cynical but its worth pointing out that the security and sex industries are synonymous with supershadyness. You hear about it in Glasgow a lot. He "claims to have provided security to celebrities, royalty and US President George Bush". Bush is the biggest feckin crook of them all!! I wouldn't put that on my CV. I've seen 1 or 2 but I think they were guests of the visiting club.

When did Mark say this???

Just going back to the "feeder club" notion for a second.... Are we not already a feeder club due to our size and the fact that we've done so well? Robson, Dods, Wyness, Brown, Brewster, Robertson, Paterson to name but a few are all people who have moved on to bigger clubs at some point.

What he said may be true but he would never have said that had he still been on our books. By making the comments now he has put us down in order to make himself look better and that's a cheap shot.

Well said Scotty. Generally a really negative thread this :( The way I see it from what I've learned about Phil O'Donnell this week is that the applause is celebrating his life and what he stood for, namely the love of his family, football and the way in which fans from all clubs have come together to mourn someone who by all accounts was a top guy. These are all things everyone can relate to. Its a minute of our lives, just get on with it! I can't believe folk have even discussed the issue it to this extent because the reasons for having it are so feckin obvious!!
